Date Last Updated: May 17, 2025
This Privacy Policy outlines how WorldMe LLC. and its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, “Worldme,” or “we” or “us” or “our”) acquire, utilize, and disseminate Personal Data. This Privacy Policy is applicable to all services delivered via our mobile apps, platforms, and websites (collectively, the “Services"), as well as any Personal Data gathered from website visitors and users associated with the Services we offer directly to those users.
We prioritize your privacy. It is advised for you to review this Privacy Policy each time you use our Services or interact with us to stay informed about our data privacy practices and choices available to you. Your usage of the Services signifies your consent to this Privacy Policy. WorldMe may revise or update this Privacy Policy periodically, with or without notifying you. Any modifications to this Privacy Policy will be denoted by revising the date at the top of the policy. If any significant alterations are made, we may provide a more noticeable announcement. Please get in touch with us if you have any questions or concerns.
1. Information We Collect
We gather your Personal Information based on its intended use. “Personal Information” encompasses any information we collect about you that can be used to identify you, either alone or combined with other information. This may include personal identifiers (e.g., name, email or postal address, phone number, etc.), online identifiers, or references to your preferences. For the purpose of this Privacy Policy, Personal Information also entails “Personal Data,” as defined under the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) or other relevant international data protection regulations.
We collect Personal Information in the following situations:
While you browse our website or utilize our Services;
When you willingly provide information directly to us (e.g., when you register to our Services or post content on our platforms); and
When you supply information directly to us as required by law (e.g., for tax form completion); and
When you sign up for Worldme through a third-party Social Networking Site ("SNS"). Take note, if you opt to create your user account by logging into an SNS via our Services, you are using the Personal Information you already provided to the SNS (like your "real" name, email address, and other information you made publicly available via the SNS) to create your user account on our Services. Consequently, the information we collect may be influenced by the privacy settings you have activated with the SNS. Please review the SNS's privacy policy for additional information on their privacy practices.
The Personal Information we collect usually falls within one or more of these categories:
• Direct Identifiers. We collect identifiers like your real name, alias, email address, phone number, account username and password, photographs, biographical information, and similar details.
• Protected Classifications. We gather age data based on birthdate and gender details.
• Internet Activity. We collect usage and log data about the devices you use to visit our websites, such as browser type, device manufacturer, operating system, domain name and IP address, the webpage you visited before coming to our Services, the pages of our Services that you visit, information you look up on our Services, access times and dates, and other statistics from all website visitors. Our mobile and TV-connected apps offer our users access to our Services from their mobile devices or television. We may receive your mobile device model and software version, contributing to the improvement of our app.
• Inferences drawn from other Personal Information. We collect Personal Information showing user personal preferences.
• Sensitive Personal Information. We only collect Social Security numbers and tax identification numbers for limited purposes, with your consent, and as permitted under applicable laws.
2. How We Use Your Information
We may also use the Personal Information we collect as otherwise specified to you at the collection point, or for any other purposes with your consent. We use your Personal Information in the following scenarios:
• Account Registration: We establish your user account for your use of the Services based on the Personal Information you supply. You can review, update, correct or delete the Personal Information in your account by modifying your profile via the Services. Opting to delete all your Personal Information may result in account deactivation and unavailability of our Services. You may also reach us at the email address provided at the end of this Privacy Policy to request update, correction, or deletion of your Personal Information. We'll strive to honor your request using commercially viable methods.
• Communications: We use your Personal Information to reach out regarding our newsletters, marketing, or promotional materials, or additional information that may be useful to you.

We also employ Automatically Collected Information internally to augment our functionality and user-friendliness, and to customize our Services to our users' needs more appropriately.
• Fraud Detection and Prevention: We may use your Personal Information to detect and prevent potential fraudulent activities regarding the Services. For instance, we use your mobile phone number to give you a one-time verification code ensuring you're not a robot.
• Legal Compliance: We may use your Personal Information to abide by applicable laws (e.g., tax laws and regulations compliance).
3. Information We Disclose to Third Parties
Your Personal Information will only be disclosed under your instruction, with your consent, or under the following scenarios:
• Other Users. Upon registering through the Services and submitting Personal Information to generate a profile, other users can view your username and, if applicable, channel name. To protect your Personal Information from being viewed by others, avoid incorporating Personal Information into your username or channel name. Additional Personal Information you opt to provide as part of your username or channel name, such as photos, location data, or biographical information might be visible to other users. Any additional Personal Information you supply is optional, and we advise caution in disclosing any content you regard as sensitive or confidential. We may also disclose your full name and email address to content creators whose channel you have followed or subscribed to enable them to engage you about their content-related promotions. We may also compile your Personal Information with other data sourced from other users, and reveal that aggregated, anonymized information to users who are content creators on the platform, providing them with insight into their viewers' age range and gender.
• Affiliates. We may share your Personal Information with companies under Worldme's common ownership and control, including the parent company and its affiliates.
• Third Party Service Providers. We may employ third-party service providers to offer services on our behalf (e.g., maintenance services, web analytics, the Service's feature enhancement, and regulatory filings) or to assist us in analyzing the Services' use. These third parties have access to your Personal Information solely to perform these tasks on our behalf, and they are contractually obligated not to disclose or use it for other purposes. We may reveal Automatically Collected Information from your Services use to third-party service providers offering services to us.
• Social Networking Sites. By registering your account with Worldme, you agreed to and consented to this Privacy Policy. With your consent to this Privacy Policy, in conjunction with any consent you've granted regarding any Social Networking Sites (“SNS”), video titles, descriptions, and/or thumbnails you interact with, as well as Personal Information that may identify you (e.g., IP address, device ID, or other identifiers) may be shared with an SNS. This Privacy Policy consent also allows us to share information about the videos you view through the Services, along with other data, to assist us and other third parties in providing you with more personalized content, including ads displayed on Worldme and other platforms. You can alter your SNS consent preferences at any time through your SNS account. Please note that even if your SNS account preferences do not consent to share information regarding videos you view through the Worldme Services, we may still share other Personal Information about you for any other purpose described in this Privacy Policy.
• Legal Obligations. We may disclose your Personal Information if we, in good faith, believe such disclosure is necessary to meet our legal obligations. This can include: (i) legal compliance or in response to a subpoena, court order, government request, or other legal process to present relevant evidence or information in connection with litigation, arbitration, mediation, adjudication, governmental or internal investigations, or other legal or administrative proceedings; (ii) protecting the interests, rights, safety, or property of us or any users, subsidiaries, affiliates, employees, or others; (iii) monitoring compliance and enforcing our Website Terms and Conditions of Use; (iv) operating the system ensuring the Services operate effectively; or (v) executing a disclosure if we believe it is necessary in good faith. When legally permissible, we will strive to inform you before disclosing your Personal Information to meet our legal obligations.
• Business Transactions. Should Worldme undergo a business transition, such as a corporate divestiture, merger, acquisition, joint venture, bankruptcy, dissolution, reorganization, or a similar transaction or proceeding, your Personal Information could be sold, divested, assigned, shared, or otherwise transferred in connection with the prospective transaction. You can choose to opt-out of the transfer of your Personal Information to the succeeding entity if said entity has not committed to abide by this Privacy Policy or a protective privacy policy that is substantially similar in material respects to protect your Personal Information.

4. Choices Regarding Your Information
• Email Communications. Should you ever decide that you do not wish to receive email communications from us, please follow the instructions to unsubscribe found in any of the communications or alter your account settings.

Moreover, the SNS might gather Personal Information regarding your activity on the Worldme website with the intent of delivering targeted advertising and other services to you. You can decide whether your activity on the Services would be shared and disclosed via your SNS account privacy settings.

If you opt to visit an alternate website or service by clicking a link, you will promptly be taken to that third party's website or online service. Other websites and online platforms have different policies in place regarding the collection, utilization, and/or disclosure of Personal Information. We recommend that before you supply any information or use such websites or services, you read the privacy policies or statements of other websites or online services you visit to thoroughly understand their privacy practices.
6. Data Security
We prioritize the security of your Personal Information.

7. Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies
Our websites utilize various cookies and other data collection methods. Cookies are small data quantities created by a website and saved by your web browser that pertain to your visit and usage of our websites. A web browser temporarily stores the data and returns it to the server during subsequent visits or requests. Each cookie has an expiration date to indicate how long it remains on your device.
We categorize cookie duration into two main types:
• Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that only exist during an online session. They aren't stored on your computer or mobile device.
• Persistent Cookies: These cookies get placed on your computer or mobile device for a specified duration when you visit our websites. Persistent cookies stay on your device until they are deleted manually or automatically.

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: These essential cookies let the websites function adequately and get loaded onto your browser automatically when you visit our websites. They enable the websites' basic features and cannot be disabled. We use necessary cookies to perform services you've requested, like logging into a website’s features, or recording that you've rejected non-essential cookies.
• Functional Cookies: These cookies enable the websites to recall your choices and preferences and provide improved, individualized features. These cookies also allow the websites to operate properly.
• Analytics Cookies: These cookies assess our websites' performance, which includes usage data and the duration you spend on a webpage, that way we can understand our interactions with you and other visitors to optimize our websites' efficiency as much as possible. We use third-party analytics to understand user engagement and metrics related to our websites' use. This may include the duration you spend on a specific page, and may also disclose your location information (e.g., your state or city location).
• Advertising and Marketing Cookies: These cookies get used to deliver personalized content and relevant ads and track the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns across websites run by us and our advertising partners. Our advertising partners may utilize them to show you relevant advertisements on other websites or develop a profile of your interests.

We employ both "first-party" and "third-party" cookies. "First-party" cookies are set by the website directly, while "third-party" cookies are set by another company when you visit our websites. We collaborate with third-party advertising companies to place and track advertisements on our websites. These third-party advertisers might place cookies on your computer when you visit our websites or others, for the purpose of displaying targeted advertisements to you. Third-party-set cookies also gather usage data about the website and remember certain user actions, such as logging in.
When it concerns Cookies and Advertisements, we collaborate with third-party vendors or advertising partners to place cookies through our websites, which may result in third parties gathering information about your website usage through said cookies. Tools like cookies, pixels, and web beacons are used by these third parties to collect information, remember users' preferences, analyze website usage, and gauge the effectiveness of their advertisements. Web beacons, small image files usually measuring 1x1 pixels, might be placed in a webpage or HTML email to record content load times. We use the collected web beacon information to statistically monitor user numbers on our Services.
Our partners might use the information they collect about you, including IP address, click stream information, browser type, time and date, and the subject of advertisements clicked or scrolled over, during your visits to provide you with advertisements about goods and services that might interest you. Your interaction with our website might also result in advertising companies and social networking sites (SNS) using their own unique identifiers to identify you, with this information collection conforming to their individual privacy policies.
As for Your Choices Regarding Cookies, cookies falling under functional, analytics, and advertising and marketing categories are sometimes termed "non-essential" cookies, as opposed to the essential 'strictly necessary' cookies. We don't initiate any non-essential cookies until you "accept" cookies when first visiting our websites. You have the right to refuse all but essential cookies on your device and can manage preferences for each cookie category you agree to accept from our websites. Please note, though, rejecting or disabling certain cookies might limit website functionality or render some features unavailable to you. Our cookies options and tools may vary by region and country, in accordance with applicable law.
Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can influence and manage cookie usage on your browser or device by deleting them from your browser history when you leave our websites. If you don't want cookies, you can set your browser to reject them or alert you when a cookie is set on your computer. For mobile device users accessing our Services, certain device-associated information might be collected and used, similarly to cookies. Mobile devices typically allow disabling of geolocation information collection. Most browser and mobile device help functions contain instructions on setting your browser to notify you before accepting cookies or disabling them entirely.
Some web browsers have Do Not Track ("DNT") or similar features that let you indicate to each website you visit that you don't want your activities on that website tracked. Currently, we don't respond to DNT signals; we continue collecting information about you unfazed by your browser's DNT activation. Therefore, activating the DNT option on your browser won't affect our collection of information related to cookie or other data collection technologies.
