This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, share, and protect the data we collect from users of our 3D metaverse platform, web and chat services. By using THUG.TV and its services, you consent to the data practices described in this policy.
- Collection of Personal Information:
a. User Generated Content in 3D Metaverse: When you create and upload content in our 3D metaverse, such as avatars, virtual objects, and virtual environments, we may collect personal information associated with your account, including your username, email address, and IP address. We treat this information as confidential and use it solely for the purpose of providing our services and improving user experiences.
b. User Generated Content in Chat: When you use our chat service and upload user-generated content (UGC), such as messages, images, or videos, we may collect and store this content temporarily to facilitate its distribution and ensure compliance with our terms of service. We treat UGC as private and respect your right to privacy.
- Use of Personal Information:
a. Providing and Improving Services: We use the personal information collected to provide you with access to THUG.TV and its features, personalize your experience, respond to your inquiries, and improve our services. We may also analyze user data in an aggregated and anonymized form to gain insights and enhance the platform.

- Data Sharing and Disclosure:
a. Third-Party Service Providers: We may engage trusted third-party service providers to assist us in operating our platform, maintaining our website, or analyzing user data. These providers have access to personal information only as necessary to perform their functions and are bound by confidentiality obligations.
b. Legal Compliance: We may disclose personal information if required to do so by law or in good faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with legal obligations, protect our rights, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request.
- Embedded Content and Cookies:
a. Embedded Content: Our platform and website may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles) from other websites. Embedded content behaves in the same way as if you visited the other website directly. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content according to their respective privacy policies.
b. Cookies: We use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your browsing experience, personalize content, and gather information about how you use our platform and website. You can control cookies through your browser settings and opt-out of certain types of cookies, but please note that disabling cookies may limit some functionality of our services.
- Voice and Video:
a. Voice and Video Services: When you use voice or video features in our platform, such as voice chat or video streaming, we may collect and process audio and visual data for the purpose of facilitating real-time communication. We do not retain this data beyond the duration necessary to provide the service.
b. Recording and Sharing: You should exercise caution when participating in voice or video interactions, as other users may choose to record and share the content without our knowledge or control. We are not responsible for the actions of third parties with whom you engage in such activities. All recordings, including but not limited to voice services, video services, our website and any of our software or applications are of THUG.TV copyrighted material and the rights to such recordings are retained by THUG.TV. Recordings of THUG.TV are permitted unless otherwise stated. Publishing and monetizing off of said recordings is also permitted. THUG.TV reserves the right to revoke permissions to publishing and/or monetizing off of such recordings indefinitely.

b. Data Retention: We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
- Data Security:
We employ industry-standard security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is entirely secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. - Changes to the Privacy Policy:
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal obligations. We encourage you to review this page periodically for any updates. Your continued use of THUG.TV and its services after the changes will signify your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.
