Any Personal Information or content that you voluntarily disclose in public areas on the Platform becomes publicly available and can be collected and used by other Members for any reason. Additionally, any Personal Information you voluntarily share with other Users or Hosts may be used by them for their own purposes. Superpeer is not responsible for the privacy or security of Personal Information you voluntarily disclose or share with others.

Integrations

Our service integrates with the YouTube API to provide certain features and functionality. By using our service, you agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy. We may collect certain data from YouTube in order to provide these features. This data may be shared with third-party service providers to serve content like advertisements. You have the right to access, rectify, erase, or object to the processing of your personal data. You may also revoke our access to your data through the Google security settings page. Please refer to the rest of our privacy policy for more information on how we handle your data.

Payments 

Transactions on the Platform involving your billing and payment information are processed by a third-party processor, Stripe, and are subject to its privacy policies. We do not store any of the credit card or banking information that you provide to these payment processors. Please see our Terms of Service for more information about our payment process. 

How Do We Protect Your Information?

To protect your Personal Information, we take commercially reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to make sure it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed. However, no data protection procedures are entirely infallible. As a result, while we strive to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee that it will be 100% secure. Your transmission of your information to our Platform thus is done entirely at your own risk.

 "In the FREE version of the Service, Hosts and Users can use “Small Meeting” mode (up to 4 participants). In “Small Meeting” mode, communication between participants are primarily sent through peer-to-peer connections, where audio and video streams are sent directly between participants and do not pass through any of our servers. Video and audio transmitted in the Service is then sent directly between the participants in a room and is encrypted (DTLS-SRTP) with client-generated encryption keys. In cases where a participant is behind a strict firewall or NAT, video and audio need to be relayed via a TURN server, but end-to-end encryption is still maintained.

If you have upgraded a room to PRO, you can choose to use “Large Meeting” mode (up to 12 participants). Calls using “Large Meeting” mode will use a dedicated server infrastructure to allow more people in conversation, and better stability. Your stream will be sent through video router servers which transmits it to the other participants in the call, and also transmits their streams to you. Streams will always be encrypted (DTLS-SRTP) in transit, but will be decrypted and re-encrypted when passing through the video routers. We operate an infrastructure of video routers distributed across the world, and you will be automatically routed to the closest one. The video router servers and all of our infrastructure adhere to strict security measures, preventing any eavesdropping or interruption of the video/audio streams.

Third-Party Websites

The Services may contain links to other websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such websites or services, and you should review the privacy policy of each website or service before providing any Personal Information.

Review and Correction of Your Personal Information

If you have a Superpeer account, you can access and modify your Personal Information by visiting the Settings page. To delete your account, please visit your account settings or contact Superpeer at hello@superpeer.com. If you request to delete your account, your information and content will be unrecoverable after that time. Therefore, before deleting your information and content, we may ask for additional information to verify your identity, in accordance with applicable law. 

Retention

Personal Information that we process for any purpose or purposes will not be kept for longer than is necessary for that purpose or purposes. We may retain your Personal Information for longer if retention is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject, or in order to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of another natural person. 

Children’s Privacy 

We do not knowingly collect or solicit Personal Information from anyone under the age of 18. If you are under 13, please do not attempt to register for the Services or send any Personal Information about yourself to us. If we learn that we have collected Personal Information from a child under 13, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe a child under 13 may have provided us Personal Information, please contact us at hello@superpeer.com.

Children ages 14-18 years old may register for the Services only with parental or legal guardian supervision.

  • We have your consent to do so;
  • Where we need the Personal Information to perform a contract with you (e.g. to deliver services); or
  • Where the processing is in our legitimate interests (and not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms). 

In some cases, we may also have a legal obligation to process Personal Information from you, or may need the Personal Information to protect your vital interest or those of another person. 

Where we rely on your consent to process the Personal Information, you have the right to withdraw or decline your consent at any time. Please note that this does not affect the lawfulness of the processing based on consent before its withdrawal. 

Retention

We will retain your Personal Information for as long as is needed to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
