(Last Updated: March 2017)
As part of our mission to spread good vibes, we want you to share the things that matter to you mostwith your friends, family and anyone else around you. It’s important to us that you feel comfortable
and trust us with your information when you use the Viber services (the "Services"). Please take a
few minutes to read this Privacy Policy, so that you understand what information we collect, what we
do with it and why.
In general, we only collect information that allows us to provide you with our best Services. This
includes, for example, simple tasks like allowing other users to see the name and picture you choose
to show. It also helps us to keep our Services clear of fraud and Spam, and it allows us to get aunique understanding of what additional services may be useful to you, and all other purposes set
out in this policy below.
Starting with Viber 6.0, all of Viber's core features are secured with end-to-end encryption: Viber
calls, one-on-one messages, group messages, media sharing and secondary devices. This meansthat the encryption keys are stored only on the clients' devices and no one, not even Viber itself, hasaccess to them. To learn more about Viber Encryption, follow thislink: http://www.viber.com/en/security-overview.

Scope and consent
Before you start sharing good vibes, it’s important you understand that by using our Services, you
give us consent to collect, use, disclose, and retain your personal information and other information
but we will never read or listen to the content you are sharing privately. You can be sure that we will
only use your information as described in this Policy.
By using the Service, you are also agreeing to our Terms of Use. Please make sure you read andagree with our Terms of Use if you want to use Viber.

Information we collectFirst of all, we want you to be assured that we do not read or listen to the content of your messages
and/or calls made privately via Viber and we do not store those messages once they have beendelivered to their destination (which by average takes less than one second). If for some reason, themessage, wasn’t delivered to its destination within up to 2 weeks, it will be deleted from our servers.
Note that chats with Public Accounts are not end-to-end encrypted, but we do encrypt suchmessages when sent to the Viber servers and when sent from the Viber servers to the third party(the Public Account owner and/or additional third party tool (e.g. CRM solution) integrated by suchowner).
We collect the minimum information required to achieve the purposes set out in this Policy (seebelow), and you have the ability to limit such collection, as specified below under "Your Choices":(a) Registration and Account Information: When you use our various Services you voluntarily give us
personal information (e.g., name, email, birth date, phone number and, when necessary, billinginformation) and you are not anonymous to us. That means your name and photo (if you choose toprovide them) will be visible to other Viber users. When you install the Viber App, you’ll also be
asked to allow us access to your mobile device's address book. A copy of the phone numbers andnames of all your contacts (whether they’re Viber members or not) will be collected and stored onour servers in order for us to be able to enable you and your contacts to connect. When you join
Viber, the contacts in your address book that are already Viber members may be informed thatyou’re now on Viber too.
(b) Social Media Information: If you sign in to your Viber account through third-party social media
sites like Facebook or Twitter, you agree to give us on-going access to your personal information onsuch sites (e.g., your public profile, friend list, accounts you follow or who follow you, your email
address, birthday, work history, education history, interests, current city, and video viewing). We may
receive certain information about you which is stored on social media sites if users of those sites
give us access to their profiles and you are one of their friends or connections, depending upon yoursettings on those sites.
(c) Activity Information: While using the Viber services, we will collect, and other users can see, yourconnection status, whether you have received and seen messages sent to you, if you are currently
on another call, and information related to the calls you have made and received; if you don’t wantpeople to know that you’re online or that you’ve seen messages, you can change these options inyour settings. As for delivered status and call information (length of the call, missed calls etc.), we
believe they are important for Viber users and therefore cannot be canceled. For Secret Chats, wewill notify the other members of any screenshots you've been taking (so please respect the vibe anddon't take them).
We will receive other information (e.g. the content you have viewed and interacted with) from youruse of our Services. When you interact with Public Accounts on our Service, we may obtain
information about the messages you have liked, comments you have left and also websites you’ve
viewed through links from a Public Account. In addition, we collect information about the accounts
you have visited and the content you have viewed in order to improve the relevance of our Services.
We collect information about the value added services you are using over Viber and/or apps you
have downloaded through Viber. This includes whether you are presently online, your personal
preferences and the way you use that service. We may also tell other Viber users that you are using
a certain service or app (to recommend them to try that service as well).
We collect information about the games you are playing over Viber and/or apps you havedownloaded through Viber, including whether you are presently online and playing a game. We may
tell other Viber users that you are using a certain game or app.
(d) Information from Other Sources: The information we collect may be combined with informationfrom outside records (e.g. demographic information and additional contact information) that we havereceived in accordance with the law.
(e) Additional Information: We may collect additional information if you access our App through aspecific device (e.g. your mobile device’s unique identifier; information about your device’s operating
system, your browser, browser or operating system language; your wireless network, and yourmobile carrier; the Viber call log). We may also collect your WPS location data – you can choose
whether to allow this by changing your geolocation tracking settings.

Specific Accounts – Viber Out Account, Email Linked to Viber AccountViber Out Account Registration: Our Viber Out service allows you to call a number outside of theViber registered community at low cost local rates. If you want to use Viber Out, you’ll need to create

a “Viber Account” by selecting a password, and providing certain personal information (e.g., name,email and billing information).
Linking your email to Viber: linking your email to Viber allows you to connect to your Viber accountfrom different devices, using your email and password only. When you select to connect your email
to your Viber account, we will use information you provided in the registration process (e.g., name,email, password, phone number), as well as your IP address to do so. When we link your email
account to the Viber account, we will also automatically create an account for you with our parent
company, Rakuten Inc., and other entities in the Viber corporate family if you do not already have an
account with one of the services. Certain registration and activity data will be shared with the
Rakuten corporate family as part of this process, as described below.

The information we collect from you ensures you can use the Viber Service and can be contacted on
Viber. Your information is retained for as long as it is needed and helps us in our mission to
constantly improve our Services and provide you with new experiences. As part of this mission, we

We may look into a specific call log in
response to a customer support request. We maintain call log information for only as long as isneeded for business and/or legal purposes. We use aggregate information about our users and nonpersonal information to analyze our Services and user behavior and prepare aggregated reports.

Information You Share Publicly
Some of our Services allow you to share information with others on a public basis. If you post
information on a public feature of our Services or through social media sites, plug-ins or otherapplications, don’t forget this information is public on our Services and, depending upon your privacy
settings, may also become public on the Internet. We can’t prevent or control further use of thisinformation so please make sure you only post information that you’re happy to be seen publicly. We
may also further use such public information you share, for various reasons, such as improving ourservice and providing you with relevant content, and analyzing trends.
You can control what data you share through privacy settings available on some social media sites.
Please refer to those third-party sites’ privacy policies and terms of use to learn more about theirprivacy practices, as we don’t control these.
At this stage, whatever you share publicly is available to the entire Viber community. If you wish toremove a certain piece of content you have shared in the past, you can do that by deleting that
content. It will be removed from our services but may remain on local devices of some users(assuming they have chosen to save it).

Your Choices
We want you to have control over how you communicate. That’s why, for example, we allow you todelete messages even after they have been sent (it will be deleted for you, your friend and ourservice). How cool is that? You can also control your privacy settings within the App to change thevisibility of your online status or prevent other users from knowing which Viber apps and games you
are using. You can disable the "seen" notification so that other users don’t know whether you’ve reada message yet. You can choose not to share your photo, opt not to receive location-based
messages along with many other additional options, which are available within the app.
Every now and then, Viber may send you notifications about administration and operation of theService (for example, about your transactions, policy changes, technical issues, etc.). We may also
send notifications about offerings by Viber or third-parties, that we think may be of interest to you. Ifyou do not wish to receive such notifications, you may adjust your system settings to decline them (ifyou're using iOS systems) or opt-out at any time from receiving further notifications by not using ourservice.
