If you use Real-Person Profile Picture Authentication, we collect your profile picture and facial recognition video with your consent to verify your identity and protect against impersonation.

- Information Sharing: By choosing to share information, you acknowledge that you may lose control over how that information is used, and it may become publicly available. VIZZ is not responsible for any use or misuse of shared information. If your conversation partner reports abusive behavior to us, conversation information (such as voice recordings or screenshots) stored only on their device may be transferred to our servers for verification and potential penalties.
