Oumy Privacy Policy and United States State Privacy Notice

1. Scope and responsible business

This Policy explains how JBX Huddle LLC (JBX, Oumy, we, us) collects, uses, discloses, and retains personal information through the Oumy app and its App Clip, iMessage, widget, and Siri features, oumy.app, the pay pages at pay.oumy.app, accounts, splits, requests, reminders, friend loans, friendly bets, Oumy Plus, support, and related operations (the Services).

Oumy never holds, pools, or moves money. Payments happen inside the payment app or bank you and your friends already use, such as Venmo, Cash App, PayPal, Zelle, or Apple Cash. Oumy does the math, sends the requests and reminders you approve, and keeps track of who has paid. We never receive your bank login, card number, or payment-app password.

Oumy accounts are for adults in the United States. The Services are not directed to children under 18. A friend who receives a request can open a pay page without an account; Section 2 describes what we collect when they do.

2. Information we collect

Depending on how you use Oumy, we may collect:

Face ID and Touch ID are handled by your iPhone. Oumy receives only a yes or no, never your biometric data. Oumy does not collect precise location, government identification, or bank or card credentials. Do not send unnecessary sensitive information in support messages.

3. Sources

We collect information from you; your device; the friends you split with, when they act on a request you sent them; Apple (Sign in with Apple, App Store purchases and notifications, push delivery); the payment-app notifications you choose to send to Oumy; receipts you share or forward; authentication, hosting, messaging, email, AI, analytics, support, and security providers; and public sources such as sports scores and recorded weather used to settle a bet. We may infer things like who usually splits together from your own records, but we do not use a solely automated decision to deny a legal right without the review required by law.

4. How we use information

We use information to:

We do not sell your information, use it for advertising, or build a profile of a friend who has not joined Oumy. A friend who has not joined is only ever contacted about a request you chose to send them.

US law does not use one universal list of processing bases. Depending on the context, we process information to perform a requested service, operate an account, obtain consent, satisfy a legal obligation, protect security and safety, prevent fraud, and pursue legitimate business purposes that applicable law permits. Where consent is required, it must be specific and can be withdrawn prospectively, subject to necessary service and legal processing.

6. How we disclose information

We may disclose relevant information to:

We instruct AI and service providers not to use Oumy data to train their models or for their own purposes, subject to their applicable terms.

7. Sale, sharing, and targeted advertising

JBX does not sell personal information for money. Some state laws define sale, sharing, or targeted advertising more broadly than an exchange for money. If Oumy activates a practice covered by those definitions, we will provide the required notice and opt-out mechanism before or with that practice.

Oumy has no advertising and no advertising pixels. Oumy does not link data about a particular user or device with third-party data for cross-app or cross-site targeted advertising or advertising measurement, and does not share that data with a data broker.

8. Cookies and similar technologies

The Oumy website and pay pages use only the essential technologies needed to show a page, keep it secure, and remember a choice you made on it. They do not use advertising cookies or third-party tracking scripts. Where applicable law requires it, we honor a recognized Global Privacy Control or universal opt-out signal as a request to opt out of covered sale, sharing, or targeted-advertising processing for that browser or device.

9. Messages, push, email, and SMS

Requests go out from your own Messages app by default. Each text Oumy prepares is clearly automated and ends with the name of your Oumy agent. You choose whether to send it.

Oumy texts a friend from its own number only if that friend opts in on a pay page. Those texts are about the specific request, stop at the end of the request, are not sent between 9 p.m. and 9 a.m. in the friend's time zone, and stop immediately if the friend replies STOP. Reply HELP for help. Message and data rates may apply. Mobile numbers and SMS consent are never shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing. Oumy does not send SMS marketing.

Transactional account, request, payment, security, and safety messages are sent as needed to provide the Services or comply with law. Push notifications can be turned off in iPhone Settings.

10. Data retention

We retain information only as reasonably needed for the stated purpose, including active account and service operation and legal, tax, accounting, fraud, security, safety, dispute, and enforcement obligations.

A deletion request does not require deletion of information needed for an open request, a fraud defense, a tax record, a legal claim, or another legal exception. When an account is deleted, its open requests are closed and friends are no longer contacted about them. Records your friends keep about money between you, such as their own copy of a settled request, may remain in their accounts. Deleting an Oumy account does not cancel an Apple subscription; cancel it in Apple Subscriptions to stop future renewal.

11. Security

We use administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed for the sensitivity and risk of the information, such as row-level access controls, authentication, Face ID on every money action, encryption in transit, secret isolation, logging, least privilege, monitoring, provider review, and incident response. No system is perfectly secure. Protect your phone and account and contact us if you suspect unauthorized access.

12. Your choices

Depending on the feature, you may:

Turning off a preference does not prevent necessary transactional, security, or safety processing.

13. United States state privacy rights

Residents of states with applicable comprehensive privacy laws may have rights to know and access, correct, delete, and obtain a portable copy of covered personal information; opt out of covered sale, sharing, targeted advertising, or qualifying profiling; limit certain sensitive-data uses; receive nondiscriminatory service; use an authorized agent; and appeal a denied request. Rights, exceptions, verification, response times, and applicability vary by state and business thresholds.

Texas's Data Privacy and Security Act, California's privacy laws, Colorado's Privacy Act, and other state laws may apply depending on facts and thresholds. This notice offers a common request channel without representing that every statute applies to every person or processing activity.

Submit a request through available account controls or:

Describe the request and the state of residence. We will verify identity using information appropriate to the request's risk. An authorized agent must provide authority and may need to support identity verification. We will not discriminate for exercising a right, although deleting data may prevent a feature that needs it.

If we deny a request, the response will explain the basis and any applicable appeal method. Appeal by replying with subject Privacy Appeal. If an appeal is denied, the response will identify any regulator-contact option required by applicable law.

14. Children

The Services are not directed to children under 18, and JBX does not knowingly collect personal information from a child for an Oumy account. If you believe a child submitted information, contact us so we can investigate and take appropriate action.

15. Deidentified and aggregated information

We may use information that is aggregated or deidentified so it is not reasonably linkable to an individual. Where law requires, we maintain it in deidentified form, use reasonable measures to prevent reidentification, and do not attempt to reidentify it except to test protections or as law permits.

16. External services

Venmo, Cash App, PayPal, Zelle, Apple Cash, your bank, the App Store, and other independent services process payments and information under their own terms and notices. Oumy does not control a payment once a payment app opens. Review those notices before using those services.

17. Changes

We may update this Policy prospectively as systems, providers, law, or practices change. The current version and effective date appear at the top. We will provide additional notice or obtain consent when applicable law requires it, and we keep this Policy aligned with our current practices.
