Creative Banter Inc. is a messaging company. Our messaging app is known as Amorus. We help users connect and share messages (text, audio, and visual), pictures, and games with known partners in the Amorus app (often referred to as Flames).
When you use these services, you'll share some information with us. We want to be clear about the information we collect, how we use it, whom we share it with, and the controls we give you to access, update, and delete your information.
That information is contained in this Privacy Policy. If you have questions about anything in our Privacy Policy, just contact us at [email protected].
If you do not agree with our policies and practices regarding your privacy as set out here, your choice is not to use our services. By accessing or using the services, you agree to this Privacy Policy. This policy may change from time to time; your continued use of the services after we make changes is deemed to be acceptance of those changes, so please check this policy periodically for updates.
