If you do not agree to all or any part of these Terms, please do not register for, log in to, or use the Service.
The Service is a platform that combines social interaction, voting, content sharing, personalized recommendations, data analytics, and artificial intelligence features. Through the Service, users may publish content, participate in votes, browse content posted by others, and interact with others, and may use AI image generation, content assistance, recommendation ranking, or other extended features that the Platform makes available from time to time.
The Service may include, but is not limited to, the following features:
The Platform may at any time add, adjust, restrict, suspend, or terminate all or any part of the features of the Service, and may change the content of the Service, its interface, algorithms, fee structure, or business model based on actual operational needs.
When using certain features of the Service, you may be required to register an account and provide true, complete, accurate, and up-to-date information. You agree to keep such information updated at all times to ensure its accuracy and completeness.
You shall properly safeguard your account, password, verification information, and other login credentials on your own, and you shall be responsible for all activities conducted through your account. If you discover any unauthorized use or misappropriation of your account, or any other security risk, you shall notify the Platform immediately.
You shall not:
The Platform has the right, depending on the circumstances of the violation, to restrict, disable, temporarily suspend, delete, or terminate your account and its related content.
If you have not reached the age of full legal capacity under the laws of your jurisdiction, or are otherwise a minor, you may use the Service only after your legal representative, parent, or guardian has read, understood, and agreed to these Terms, and only with their consent and under their guidance and supervision.
By registering for, logging in to, or continuing to use the Service, you represent and warrant that you have obtained the foregoing consent. If the Platform reasonably suspects that you have not obtained the necessary consent, the Platform has the right to restrict, suspend, or terminate your account or your use of certain features.
In addition, the Service is not directed at children under the age of 13. If the year of birth you provide at registration indicates that you are under 13 years of age, the Platform may reject your registration application.
Text, images, visual media, prompts, poll questions, replies, comments, personal data, account information, and other content that you upload, publish, input, create, submit, transmit, share, or otherwise provide on the Service are collectively referred to as "User Content."
Except as otherwise provided in these Terms, you, as a general rule, retain the rights you are entitled to under law in the User Content you lawfully provide.
To enable the Platform to provide, maintain, optimize, promote, and operate the Service, you agree to grant the Platform a worldwide, non-exclusive, transferable, sublicensable, royalty-free license that permits the Platform, to the extent necessary for the purposes of the Service, to collect, store, reproduce, adapt, analyze, process, publicly transmit, display, distribute, compile, annotate, translate, and convert the format of your User Content, and to make other uses of it that are necessary in accordance with law.
The license under the preceding paragraph includes, but is not limited to, the following purposes:
You shall warrant that the User Content you provide does not infringe any third party's copyright, trademark rights, privacy rights, portrait rights, rights of reputation, trade secrets, or other rights, and does not violate any law or contractual obligation. If the Platform or any third party suffers damage as a result, you shall bear full responsibility.
When you use the Service, the Platform may collect and record your votes, browsing activity, dwell time, interaction behavior, click records, topics you participate in, preference tendencies, interest tags, device information, age range, gender, the region where you are located, and other information related to your use of the Service.
The Platform may, based on the foregoing data, perform automated analysis, user segmentation, preference modeling, content ranking, adjustment of recommendation mechanisms, trend analysis, and product optimization. You understand and agree that the content rankings, popular results, recommended content, trend displays, and related data provided by the Service may vary depending on the user, region, device, interaction history, time, commercial conditions, test design, or other factors.
You agree that the Platform may use users' voting, interaction, and preference data to produce compiled, statistical, aggregated, de-identified, or anonymized analytical results, trend reports, audience insights, research data, market analyses, or other commercial outputs, and may use such analytical results itself or provide them to business clients, advertisers, partners, research institutions, or other third parties for their use. Anything provided to third parties under this Article is limited to such processed analytical results and does not include raw voting data that directly identifies individual users.
You understand and agree that the Platform may provide third parties with certain information related to you, including but not limited to your age or age range, gender, the country, city, and region where you are located, geographic location range, language, device information, interest categories, voting preferences, interaction characteristics, content engagement patterns, audience tags, segmentation results, and other analytical data.
As a general rule, the foregoing data does not include directly identifying information such as your real name, telephone number, or government-issued identification document number; provided, however, that this does not apply where required by law, ordered by a competent authority, required in judicial proceedings, necessary for the performance of a contract, necessary for transaction processing, or where you have separately consented.
If, under the laws applicable in your jurisdiction, the Platform's foregoing provision of data, sharing, audience modeling, advertising analytics, cross-service tracking, or commercial partnership arrangements are deemed to constitute a "sale," "sharing," or any other processing activity for which a right to opt out must be provided, you may exercise your right to opt out, your right to object, or your right to request restriction of processing through the settings page, request mechanism, or contact methods provided by the Platform. The Platform will handle such requests in accordance with applicable law and reasonable verification procedures.
The Platform may provide artificial intelligence-related features, including but not limited to image generation, text generation, content rewriting, visual transformation, material assistance, recommendations, and other generative model services.
The text, instructions, prompts, uploaded materials, and reference content you input when using AI features, as well as the outputs you obtain, may all be processed, analyzed, stored, tested, optimized, used for training and fine-tuning, reviewed, and used to improve model or service performance by the Platform or by model providers with which the Platform partners.
By using the Service, you agree that the Platform may use AI inputs and outputs for model training, quality improvement, safety monitoring, and commercial optimization purposes.
You shall not use the AI features to:
AI-generated content may be inaccurate, incomplete, or non-neutral, may be similar to outputs generated for others, and may also involve rights-related, ethical, commercial, or regulatory risks. The Platform does not guarantee the accuracy, uniqueness, legality, or usability of AI outputs, or that they do not infringe the rights of third parties. You shall exercise your own judgment and bear the risks and responsibilities associated with your use of AI outputs.
The Platform may conduct automated or human review of AI inputs, outputs, and their use, and may, as necessary, restrict, refuse, delete, take down, label, block, or retain the related content and records.
In accordance with its platform policies and the requirements of the relevant platforms (such as the Apple App Store and Google Play), the Platform is responsible for the safety of AI-generated content. The Platform has established and maintains reporting, blocking, moderation, and safety restriction mechanisms, and may continually supplement and revise them to comply with laws, regulations, and platform rules.
You shall not engage in any of the following conduct:
If you violate these Terms, or if there is a risk that you may endanger the Platform, users, third parties, or regulatory compliance, the Platform may, without prior notice, directly take any or all of the following measures:
The Platform maintains a zero-tolerance policy toward inappropriate user-generated content and abusive user behavior, and, in accordance with Apple App Store Review Guideline 1.2 (Safety — User-Generated Content) and the Google Play Developer Policies, maintains the following mechanisms:
The following categories of content constitute inappropriate content that the Platform expressly does not tolerate. Once such content is discovered by users, it may be taken down immediately, and the poster's account will be suspended or permanently terminated depending on the circumstances of the violation:
The Platform reserves the right, in accordance with these Terms and related policies, to directly delete the foregoing content and suspend the accounts of violating users. Suspended accounts may appeal to the Platform with respect to the specific circumstances; however, the Platform retains the right of final decision.
The code, interface design, algorithms, databases, trademarks, names, logos, copy, visual assets, business model, and other content of the Service, except for those that belong to third parties by law, are owned by the Platform or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws and related laws.
Without the Platform's prior written consent, you shall not reproduce, adapt, distribute, publicly transmit, publicly display, disassemble, reverse engineer, sell, or otherwise exploit the foregoing content of the Platform.
The Platform may integrate third-party services, including but not limited to cloud storage, analytics tools, push notification services, login authentication, payment tools, advertising platforms, content moderation services, AI model providers, and other partner tools.
Such third-party services may process relevant data in accordance with their own terms and privacy policies. The Platform does not guarantee the continued availability, accuracy, or security of third-party services.
For a list of the third-party service providers currently integrated with the Platform, please see the Appendix.
Because the third-party providers, SDKs, analytics tools, AI models, and partners actually integrated with the Platform may change at any time, the Platform may, without affecting the overall validity of these Terms, reserve, supplement, update, replace, or delete the relevant disclosure fields and lists.
The Platform may in the future offer paid features, subscription services, enterprise plans, business reports, advertising plans, APIs, or other fee-based items. The applicable prices, payment methods, renewal, cancellation, refund, and tax provisions shall be as set forth in the relevant page, order, supplemental terms, or commercial contract in effect at that time.
The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. The Platform does not guarantee that the Service will be continuous and uninterrupted, error-free, free of delay, risk-free, or completely secure, or that it will meet your specific needs.
The Platform makes no express or implied warranties regarding the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, legality, or fitness for a particular purpose of any User Content, voting results, trend analyses, recommendation rankings, statistical data, AI outputs, third-party information, or commercial outputs.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Platform shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, derivative, special, punitive, or consequential damages arising from your use of or inability to use the Service, including but not limited to loss of data, loss of profits, damage to goodwill, business interruption, loss of anticipated benefits, or substitution costs.
Where liability cannot be fully excluded by law, the Platform's total liability shall be limited to the amount you actually paid to the Platform during the twelve months before the relevant dispute arose; if you have not paid any fees, the limit shall be 1,000 New Taiwan Dollars (NTD).
You may request deletion of your account in the babla app via the path "Settings → Data privacy → Delete account," or by using the contact methods listed in Chapter 15. The Platform will process your request in accordance with applicable law, technical feasibility, and reasonable verification procedures.
After your account is deleted, the Platform will retain your account data in a soft-deleted state during a 30-day grace period (during which you may still contact customer support to restore it); after the grace period expires, the Platform will permanently delete the account and its associated votes, comments, saved items, follows, and other data. Where the law requires the retention of certain data, or where necessary to handle transaction disputes, prevent fraud, or fulfill legal obligations, the Platform may retain the necessary data until the expiration of the statutory period or a reasonable period.
If you registered for or logged in to babla using a third-party identity service such as "Sign in with Apple" or "Sign in with Google," then when you delete your babla account, the Platform will terminate the link between babla and your account with that identity service, and will cease its use of that identity information.
However, because the credentials of such third-party identity services (for example, the app authorization associated with your Apple ID) remain stored with the relevant service provider, you must separately revoke babla's authorization on that service's settings page; the Platform cannot do this on your behalf:
The Platform has, in good faith, informed you of the foregoing paths. If you do not revoke a third party's authorization, that third party may still retain records of the relevant connection, and the Platform is not responsible for this.
The Platform may, at any time, terminate all or any part of the Service, or terminate your account and your access rights, due to violations, legal requirements, business considerations, risk control, product adjustments, termination of transactions, technical maintenance, or other reasonable causes.
After the termination or deletion of an account, provisions relating to licenses, intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, dispute resolution, legal compliance, and other provisions that by their nature should remain in effect shall continue in effect.
The Platform may collect, receive, record, infer, or generate the following data:
(1) Account data: including your name or nickname, email address, mobile phone number, profile picture, username, login credentials, third-party login information, and other data you voluntarily provide.
(2) Device and technical data: including IP address, device identifiers, browser type, device model, operating system, language settings, time zone, app version, cookies, SDK information, logs, error reports, and network information.
(3) Content and interaction data: including data that you publish, input, upload, browse, share, comment on, like, report, save, dwell on, or click, or through which you otherwise interact with the Service.
(4) Voting and preference data: including your voting choices, topics you participate in, question preferences, leanings on issues, interaction frequency, interest categories, content preferences, segmentation results, recommendation tags, and other preference data inferred through system analysis.
(5) Demographic and regional data: including age, age range, gender, country, city, region, geographic area, language, cultural preferences, and related audience attributes.
(6) AI feature data: including prompts, input content, uploaded materials, reference images, generated results, usage records, safety review records, model evaluation records, and other data related to the use of AI features.
(7) Other data provided with your consent or that may be collected in accordance with law.
The sources from which the Platform collects data include:
The Platform may process your data for the following purposes:
The Platform may provide, disclose, share, or grant access to your data to the following parties:
If the Platform is required under applicable law to provide an opt-out mechanism for the sale or sharing of data or for advertising-related data processing, the Platform will provide corresponding means of exercising such rights as required by law.
Except where required by law, where your explicit consent has been obtained, where necessary for the performance of a contract, or on other lawful grounds, the Platform, as a general rule, does not directly provide third parties with directly identifying information such as your real name, telephone number, or government-issued identification document number for general business insight purposes.
You agree that the Platform may use the inputs, outputs, uploaded materials, generated content, and related records from your use of AI features for model training, fine-tuning, evaluation, improvement, safety control, performance optimization, quality testing, and related commercial purposes.
If the Platform engages a third-party model provider to provide the foregoing services, you agree that the relevant data may be processed by that third party on the Platform's behalf, in accordance with its role and contractual arrangements.
The Platform may use automated tools, algorithms, models, and other technologies to rank, tag, group, predict, recommend, and otherwise analyze your data. Such processing may affect the content, advertisements, trends, suggestions, and interaction ranking results that you see.
If the Platform discovers that a user is a minor and has not obtained the necessary guardian consent as required by law, the Platform may restrict or terminate that user's account or certain features.
Depending on the nature of the product and regulatory requirements, the Platform may adopt additional measures such as age notices, parental consent, restrictions on sensitive features, or other protective measures. The Service does not intentionally collect personal data of children under the age of 13; if the Platform discovers that such data has been provided by a child under the age of 13, the Platform will delete it within a reasonable period.
The Platform will retain your data for the period necessary to achieve the purposes set forth in these Terms, and may extend retention in accordance with the following principles:
When you delete your account or content on your own initiative, the Platform applies a soft-deletion mechanism with a 30-day grace period, after which the corresponding records will be permanently deleted; however, the necessary data may be retained in the exceptional circumstances described above.
The Platform will take reasonable technical, administrative, and procedural measures to protect the security of data, including but not limited to permission controls (Row Level Security), transmission protection (TLS), access restrictions, log monitoring, vendor management, and other appropriate measures. However, you understand that no method of network transmission or electronic storage can be guaranteed to be absolutely secure, and the Platform does not guarantee that data will be completely free from interception, theft, leakage, tampering, or loss.
You agree that the Platform and its providers, partners, or affiliates may, for reasons of server configuration, technical operations, analytical processing, model services, or business arrangements, transfer, store, or process your data in countries or regions outside your location (including but not limited to the United States, Singapore, and Japan). The Platform will take reasonable protective measures in accordance with applicable law.
Depending on the laws applicable in your jurisdiction, you may have some or all of the following rights:
You may exercise some of the foregoing rights through the "Settings → Edit profile" and "Settings → Data privacy" pages in the babla app, or submit a request through the contact points listed in Chapter 15. To protect account security and the rights and interests of third parties, the Platform may require reasonable identity verification, or may refuse or restrict certain requests in accordance with law.
The Service may contain third-party websites, services, or links. The privacy and data handling practices of such third parties are not governed by these Terms, and you should review their terms and policies yourself.
If the tools, SDKs, providers, cloud services, login services, payment services, AI model services, or partners to be actually integrated have not yet been finalized, the Platform may temporarily reserve certain data disclosure fields and, once they are finalized, update these Terms, in-app disclosures, store pages, or other related descriptions.
The Platform may amend these Terms at any time. The amended version will be posted on the Platform, in the app, on the website, or in another appropriate location, with the date of update indicated.
In the case of material changes, the Platform may notify you by in-app notification, email, pop-up prompt, a request to check the consent box again, or other reasonable means. If you continue to use the Service after an amendment, you will be deemed to have agreed to the amended content; provided, however, that where renewed consent is required by law, the matter will be handled in accordance with the law.
Except as otherwise mandatorily provided by law, the formation, interpretation, validity, performance, and dispute resolution of these Terms shall be governed by the laws of the Republic of China (Taiwan).
Except as otherwise mandatorily provided by law, the Taiwan Taipei District Court shall be the court of first instance with jurisdiction over all disputes arising from these Terms or the Service.
If, in the future, the Platform changes the governing law and jurisdiction provisions due to offshore operations, adjustments to its corporate structure, or regulatory requirements, the updated version shall prevail.
