Terms of Use
Welcome to Pik-Pok!
These Terms of Use govern your use of Pik-Pok and provide information about
the Pik-Pok Service, outlined below. When you create an Pik-Pok account or use Pik-Pok, you agree to these
terms.
The Pik-Pok Service
We agree to provide you with the Pik-Pok Service. The Service includes all of the Pik-Pok products,
features, applications, services, technologies, and software that we provide to advance Pik-Pok's
mission: To bring you closer to the people and things you love. The Service is made up of the following
aspects (the Service):
-
Offering personalized opportunities to create, connect, communicate, discover, and
share.
People are different. We want to strengthen your relationships through
shared experiences you actually care about. So we build systems that try to understand who and
what you and others care about, and use that information to help you create, find, join, and
share in experiences that matter to you. Part of that is highlighting content, features, offers,
and accounts you might be interested in, and offering ways for you to experience Pik-Pok, based
on things you and others do on and off Pik-Pok.
-
Fostering a positive, inclusive, and safe environment. We develop and use tools and
offer resources to our community members that help to make their experiences positive and
inclusive, including when we think they might need help. We also have teams and systems that
work to combat abuse and violations of our Terms and policies, as well as harmful and deceptive
behavior. We use all the information we have-including your information-to try to keep our
platform secure. We also may share information about misuse or harmful content with other
Companies or law enforcement. Learn more in the
Data
Policy.
-
Developing and using technologies that help us consistently serve our growing community.
Organizing and analyzing information for our growing community is central to our Service. A big
part of our Service is creating and using cutting-edge technologies that help us personalize,
protect, and improve our Service on an incredibly large scale for a broad global community.
Technologies like artificial intelligence and machine learning give us the power to apply
complex processes across our Service.
-
Research and innovation.
We use the information we have to study our Service and
collaborate with others on research to make our Service better and contribute to the well-being
of our community.
The Data Policy
Providing our Service requires collecting and using your information. The Data
Policy explains how we collect, use, and share information across the pik pok Products. It
also explains the many ways you can control your information, including in the Pik-Pok
Privacy and Security Settings.
Your Commitments
In return for our commitment to provide the Service, we require you to make the below commitments to us.

Nothing is changing about your rights in your content. We do not claim ownership of your content

However, content will continue to appear if you shared it with others and they have not deleted
it.
-
You grant us the permission to display ads. We always respect your privacy. We will not sell your

-
You agree that we can download and install updates to the Service on your device.
Additional Rights We Retain

it is appropriate or necessary (for example, if it infringes someone's intellectual
property or impersonates another user).

our Service (for example, images, designs, videos, or sounds we provide that you add to content
you create or share), we retain all rights to our content (but not yours).

providing all or part of the Service to you (including terminating or disabling your account)
immediately if you: clearly, seriously or repeatedly violate these Terms of Use, our policies

rights, or where we are required to do so by law. If we take action to remove your content for

arises out of or relates to these Terms ("claim"), and you may resolve your claim in any
competent court in that Member State that has jurisdiction over the claim. In all other cases, you agree

example, through our Service) at least 30 days before we make changes to these Terms and give you an
opportunity to review them before they go into effect. Then, if you continue to use the Service, you will be
bound by the updated Terms. If you do not want to agree to these or any updated Terms, you can delete your
account,
