AGREEMENT TO TERMS

Privacy Policy

Your data belongs to you. That's why we take privacy seriously at Favs HQ, Inc. We've done our best to lay out our practices and principles related to your data in plain language. This policy provides details about what personal information we collect, why we collect it, and how we handle and use your personal information while it’s entrusted to us.

This policy covers our website (www.favshq.com) as well as all products built and maintained by Favs HQ, Inc., including FriendMap, WYF – What's Your Fav, and Slate.

In short, your privacy matters to us, and we do not sell your data.

THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND WHY

We’ve created social and creative tools that help you express yourself and build stronger relationships with the people who matter most.

We only collect the personal information we need and store it for as little time as necessary to meet the purposes for which it was collected. We may collect personal information when you:

  • Create an account

  • Use the app

  • Sign up to receive marketing communications

  • Participate in surveys

  • Contact us with a comment, question, or complaint

Creating an Account

You do not have to register to visit or use our website, but you will be required to create an account to use our apps. To create your account, we require certain information such as your first and last name, phone number, email address, and a password. We may also ask for access to your mobile device’s contacts to help you connect with friends. This information is used to create and administer your account and facilitate your use of the apps.

Using the Apps

When you use our apps, we may collect the following personal information:

For FriendMap: Location-based interactions and features used within the app to improve your experience and provide friend-finding functionalities.

For WYF – What's Your Fav: Quiz responses about your preferences and interests. This information is used to help your friends understand you better and to make your experience more engaging.

For Slate: Slate is a custom keyboard app. We do not log or store keystrokes. Any usage data we collect (e.g., most used keys, crashes, or language settings) is anonymized and used solely to improve performance and functionality. Slate does not collect passwords, credit card numbers, or sensitive personal content. Typed input never leaves your device.

In all apps, usage data may be analyzed to monitor performance and enhance your overall experience.

We may also collect:

  • Device type, hardware, and operating system

  • Unique device identifiers

  • Mobile carrier

  • IP address

  • Language settings

  • Date and time the app accesses our servers

Location Privacy for FriendMap

With your consent, we may collect your location information using your device’s GPS to allow your friends to know where you are. We do not use your location data to sell to third parties. You can opt out at any time by turning off location services in your device or app settings.

Signing Up for Marketing Communications

If you sign up for email marketing communications such as newsletters, we collect your email address and optional information to tailor our messages. You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking “unsubscribe” in any email or by contacting us at support@favshq.com.

If you consent to push notifications, we may send notifications about app updates, quiz prompts, or important friend-related events. You can disable push notifications in your app or device settings.

Participating in Surveys

From time to time, we may offer surveys. Survey responses are used in an aggregated, de-identified format to help us understand our users and enhance our apps and services.

Contacting Us

When you contact us with a comment, question, or complaint, we may collect information such as your name, email address, and details of your request. This helps us respond to you effectively and improve our customer service.

WHEN WE ACCESS AND SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

Our default practice is not to access your personal data. We do not disclose your information to third parties without your consent, except in the following cases:

  • To provide the services you’ve requested: We use third-party services to run our applications. These services may process some of your identity information, but only to the extent necessary to provide functionality such as hosting, authentication, analytics, and customer support. These third parties are prohibited from using your information for marketing or other purposes. Some service providers may be located in the U.S. or other foreign jurisdictions.

  • To troubleshoot issues, with your permission: If you request technical support, we may ask for temporary access to your account to investigate the issue. We will always ask for your consent before proceeding.

  • When required under applicable law: We or our service providers may disclose your personal information in response to a legal inquiry, investigation, or government request. This may include cooperation with U.S. or foreign law enforcement authorities.

  • In the event of a business acquisition: If Favs HQ, Inc. is ever acquired, merged, or undergoes corporate restructuring, your personal information may be transferred as part of the business assets.

QUIZ DATA PRIVACY FOR WYF – WHAT’S YOUR FAV

For users of WYF – What's Your Fav, we do not sell or share your quiz responses with third parties. Your answers are only used to enhance your experience, improve the app’s features, and provide social engagement with your friends. Your quiz data remains private and is only accessible within the app.

TYPING DATA PRIVACY FOR SLATE

Slate was designed with privacy first. We do not store what you type. Slate never collects or transmits sensitive content like passwords, credit card details, or personal conversations. All real-time typing remains local to your device. We may collect anonymized metadata to improve performance, such as crash logs or general usage trends (e.g., language preferences or theme selection). None of this includes your typed content.
