AutoProfile^TM Terms of Service

Last modified August 17, 2023

Welcome to AutoProfile!

These terms of service ("Agreement") govern your use of the AutoProfile Application ("AutoProfile" or the "App") which is a registered trademark of Bodaty, LLC, ("Bodaty"), and the services, products, features, apps, technologies, and software integrated and used therein, except where we expressly state that separate terms (and not these) apply.

The “Bodaty Terms of Service” applies to your use of Bodaty's products and services. Your use of AutoProfile is therefore subject to the Bodaty Terms of Service. Since AutoProfile uses deyaPay (the payments service and accounts system offered by Bodaty), your use of AutoProfile is also subject to the terms relevant to deyaPay and deyaPay Account Services, “Bodaty deyaPay Payments Terms of Service.” In addition, the following notice describes our terms that are specific to AutoProfile. All of these terms and related privacy policies can be found at https://AutoProfile.me/policy.html.

Bodaty may amend these Terms at any time by posting a revised version on Bodaty's website or through the AutoProfile App.

By using AutoProfile you expressly certify that you are over 16 years old, and have verified the same through the age verification services utilized when you purchase the AutoProfile App. If you are under 16 years old, your parent or legal guardian must provide consent. You are prohibited from using AutoProfile if you are under 13 years old.

1. Our Services

AutoProfile provides a mechanism to generate your profile and share it with others, who can ask to view it through the AutoProfile application. To help advance this mission, we provide the Products and Services described below to you:

• Provide a personalized experience for you: Your experience on AutoProfile is unique and is based on the content provided by you through AutoProfile and by third parties that themselves authorize, and you and your parent or legal guardian authorize, sharing with under AutoProfile. You will always know who you are sharing your information with and who requests to share information with you. For example, each account is tied to a phone number and You will be able to verify the phone number associated with the individuals whom you share with and who request to share with you. We use the data we have - for example, about the connections you make, the choices and settings you select, and what you and your connections share to personalize your experience. For more information on how we use your data visit our privacy policy available here https://AutoProfile.me/policy.html.
• Empower you to communicate about what matters to you: There are many ways to communicate with friends, family, and others about what matters to you - for example, sharing profiles, status updates, photos, videos, and stories with AutoProfile. We also have developed and continue to explore new ways for people to use technology to create and share more expressive and engaging content through AutoProfile.
• Provide you with the optional ability to enhance and improve the profile created through the AutoProfile phone app, by giving you access to request and buy (at an additional charge) the services of a Personal Writer/Biographer who can start where the app finished and edit the profile with their human insight and abilities as writers.
• Combat harmful conduct and protect and support our community: People will only build a community on AutoProfile if they feel safe. We employ dedicated teams around the world and develop advanced technical systems to detect misuse of our Products, harmful conduct towards others, and situations where we may be able to help support or protect our community. If we learn of content or conduct like this, we will take appropriate action - for example, offering help, removing content, blocking access to certain features, disabling an account, or contacting law enforcement. We share data with other Bodaty Services when we detect misuse or harmful conduct by someone using one of our Products.
• Use and develop advanced technologies to provide safe and functional services for everyone: We use and develop advanced technologies - such as conversational user interfaces, artificial intelligence, and machine learning systems - so that people can use our Products safely regardless of physical ability or geographic location. For example, technology like this helps people who have visual and other impairments understand what is in content shared on AutoProfile. We also build sophisticated network and communication technology to help more people connect to the internet in areas with limited access. And we develop automated systems to improve our ability to detect and remove abusive and dangerous activity that may harm our community and the integrity of our Products.
• Research ways to make our services better: We engage in research and collaborate with others to improve our Products. One way we do this is by analyzing the data we have and understanding how people use our Products.
• Provide consistent and seamless experiences across the Bodaty Company Products: Our Products help you find and connect with people, groups, businesses, organizations, and others that are important to you. We design our systems so that your experience is consistent and seamless across the different Bodaty Services that you use. For example, we use data about the people you engage with on AutoProfile to monitor safety and to make it easier for you to connect with them, and we enable you to communicate with your community. Another example is how we seamlessly integrate with deyaPay, Bodaty’s payments system, to provide an easy, fluid and convenient payments experience for our customers when your share content in AutoProfile.
• Enable global access to our services: To operate our global service, we need to store and distribute content and data in our data centers and systems around the world, including outside your country of residence.
