Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your information when you use the Bang mobile application (“Bang” or the “App”). Bang is developed and operated by Unify Yazilim Bilisim LTD. STI, a company based in Turkey (referred to as “we,” “us,” or “our”). Bang offers adult-themed, AI-generated erotic audio stories with sensual (non-nude) imagery. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our practices. By using Bang, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Information We Collect
We do not require you to create an account or provide personal details like your name or email to use Bang. We also do not directly collect sensitive personal data such as your address, contacts, health information, or payment details. However, when you use the App, certain information may be collected automatically through the app and our third-party service providers:
- Device and Technical Information: We may collect device identifiers (such as a device ID or unique installation ID), device type and model, operating system version, app version, and other technical details. We do not directly access your device’s advertising ID, though third-party SDKs might automatically receive it as part of their functioning. This technical data helps ensure the app works correctly across different devices.
- Usage Data: We collect data about how you interact with the App. This includes events and logs such as the audio stories or content you play, screens you view (e.g. opening the paywall or settings), button clicks, and subscription-related events (for example, starting a free trial or purchasing a subscription). We also collect diagnostic information like error logs or crash reports if the app malfunctions. This usage data is generally collected in an aggregated or anonymized manner and does not directly identify you personally.
- IP Address and Approximate Location: When you use the App, our servers or third-party analytics services may record your IP address. This can be used to infer your general location (e.g. country or region). We use only the approximate location for purposes like analytics and regional content licensing. We do not track or store any precise GPS location from your device.
- In-App Purchases and Subscription Information: All payments for Bang’s premium content (such as subscriptions) are processed by Apple’s App Store. We do not collect or have access to your financial information (such as credit card numbers or billing address). Apple provides us (directly or via our trusted service providers) with confirmation of your purchase and subscription status. For example, we receive information that a subscription purchase was successful, the type of subscription (e.g. monthly or annual), and its expiration or renewal date. This information is used solely to grant you access to the paid content and manage your subscription benefits. We do not receive your actual payment details. Apple may also assign an anonymous Subscriber ID that we use (via our subscription management service) to maintain your subscription state across devices.
- Customer Support Communications (If Applicable): If you choose to contact us for support or send inquiries (for example, via email to our support address), we will collect the information you provide in that communication. This may include your email address, name, and the contents of your message. We will use this information only to review and respond to you regarding your inquiry or support request.
Summary: In short, we collect very limited personal information. We do not collect identifiers like name or email through the app, nor do we gather sensitive data such as your contacts, photos, health data, or precise location. The information we do collect is primarily technical and usage-related, aimed at ensuring the app functions properly, verifying subscriptions, and improving your experience. All such information is handled in a pseudonymous form (not directly tied to your real identity) and only as described in this Policy.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information collected for the following purposes:
- To Provide and Improve the Service: We use device information and usage data to operate Bang and deliver content to you. For example, knowing your subscription status allows us to grant access to premium audio stories. Usage analytics (such as which stories are most popular or how users navigate the app) help us understand user preferences and improve our content and features.
- Analytics and Product Development: We analyze aggregate usage patterns and technical data (via third-party analytics tools) to debug issues, optimize performance, and enhance the App’s user experience. For instance, crash reports or error logs help us identify and fix bugs. Analytics on session lengths or feature usage guide us in making Bang more engaging and user-friendly.
- Subscription Management: We use your in-app purchase and subscription data to manage your access to premium content. This includes verifying that a purchase was made, checking subscription validity, and unlocking or restricting content based on your subscription status. Our third-party subscription service (described below) helps with this process securely.
- Customer Support: If you reach out to us with questions, feedback, or issues, we will use any contact information and details you provided to respond and assist you. This may include troubleshooting problems, addressing concerns, or informing you about a solution or update.
- Legal Compliance and Protection: In rare cases, we may need to use or disclose information to comply with legal obligations or respond to lawful requests (for example, to comply with a court order or regulatory requirement). Additionally, we may use information as necessary to enforce our Terms of Service, to investigate or prevent fraud or abuse of the App, or to protect the rights and safety of our users, our company, or others.
We do not use your data for any kind of advertising profiling or targeted marketing unrelated to Bang’s service. For example, we do not sell your data to third-party advertisers or use your usage patterns to serve you third-party ads. Any information collected is used solely to support and improve the Bang app experience and maintain your subscriptions.
