Is Talkie safe with your data?

Content licence is perpetual and sublicensable

Uploading content grants Talkie and its affiliates a "transferable, sublicensable, perpetual, irrevocable license" to copy, modify, distribute and use that content for operating the service and for promotion, advertising or marketing. Users keep ownership of what they generate, but the grant does not expire when they leave.

No retention period, and no safeguard named for US transfers

Data is kept "for only as long as necessary" with no number attached. The policy states that information may be transferred to and stored in the U.S.A., "a jurisdiction in which the privacy laws may not be as comprehensive as those in the country where you reside," and names no contractual or legal protection covering that transfer.

Ad sharing is disclosed with a real opt-out

Talkie concedes that passing data to advertising partners "maybe considered a 'sale' or 'sharing' of personal information" and points to a "Your Privacy Choices" link in the website footer to opt out. Conversation content and uploaded photos are carved out and never shared with advertising partners.

Security controls and a privacy contact are named; breach timing is not

Stored data sits behind "firewalls, role-based access controls, and passwords" with encryption in transit, and a Data Protection Officer is reachable at a stated address and email. Breach notice is promised only "as soon as we spot the issue," with no deadline.
