Montiy: Privacy Policy

This is a translation; in case of discrepancy the Uzbek version prevails.

Last updated: 6 November 2026.

This policy explains how the personal data of users of Montiy (monty.uz, @MontyUz_Bot and the Mini App, mobile and desktop applications; hereinafter, the “Service”) is collected, used, stored and protected. Data controller: ABDULLAYEV ISROILJON IZZATILLA O‘G‘LI (sole proprietor), TIN (STIR/INN) 50101056520018, registered address: 186 Bog‘ibo‘ston street, Xamkorobod MFY, Yunusobod district, Tashkent. Data is processed in accordance with the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan “On Personal Data”. If you use the services governed by Part 2 of the offer (monty.uz/en/terms-2), the additional data listed there is processed as that Part sets out.

1. What data we collect

1.1. Account: phone number (when signing in via SMS), Telegram ID, name and username, the name and email provided by Apple or Google when signing in through them, interface language, referral code and who referred you.

1.2. Content: the videos, voice messages and B-roll files you upload, the speech text derived from them (transcription), the style and settings you choose, and the finished montage video. Your face and voice may appear in the video, but they are used solely for the montage.

1.3. Technical: IP address, device and browser type, application version, error logs, push notification token (only if you grant permission, for the “video ready” notification).

1.4. Support correspondence: messages you send via the “Help” section and the replies.

1.5. Payments: order number, amount, payment method and time. Card details are processed by Multicard; we neither receive nor store the full card number. So that the trial-price montage is given once per card and per account, we keep the masked card number (first 6 and last 4 digits, or the provider’s token) and the payer’s phone number.

1.6. Questionnaire (optional): your answers to the short questions asked while a montage is being prepared (who you are, your field, which network and how many followers, videos per week, who edits your videos now, how you heard about Montiy and, if you choose, your Instagram username). Skipping or closing it does not affect the service. We use the answers to improve the service and tailor offers to you; we do not sell them.

2. Why we use it

2.1. Performing the montage: converting speech to text, correcting the text, building the montage plan, framing (detecting face position), and adding captions and graphics.

2.2. Maintaining your account.

2.3. Communicating with you: “video ready”, “text ready” and support messages (in the language you have chosen).

2.4. Security and abuse prevention, monitoring service stability and fixing errors.

2.5. We do not use your content for advertising, do not sell it, and do not provide it for training artificial intelligence models without your consent.

3. Who it is shared with (providers)

To perform the montage, data is shared only to the extent necessary with the following:

3.1. VoiceLab (api.voicelab.uz, Uzbekistan): speech-to-text — the audio of the video is sent. AIsha (Uzbekistan) as a fallback, for the same purpose.

3.2. Google Cloud (USA): Vertex AI and Gemini — correcting errors in the text, the montage plan, selecting suitable moments for headlines (hooks) and cards (text), speech-to-text in the “Tez kesish” (quick cut) podcast mode (the audio is sent too), and generating AI B-roll (scene descriptions only). Google does not use this data to train its models (API terms). Google Cloud Run and Cloud Storage (European Union, europe-west4, Netherlands): while a montage is being produced, the uploaded video and the finished render are held there and deleted when the montage is complete.

3.3. Anthropic (Claude, USA): the speech text and individual frames taken from the video are sent for the montage plan and the placement of graphics. Anthropic does not use data received through its API to train its models.

3.4. Pexels and Pixabay: if media cards are enabled, only an English search term is sent (not your video or text).

3.5. Railway (servers and PostgreSQL database; European Union, Amsterdam, Netherlands), S3-compatible object storage (Railway; finished videos, backups) and Cloudflare (website address, protection and fast delivery; USA, global network).

3.6. Eskiz (Uzbekistan): sending SMS codes (only the phone number and the code).

3.6.1. Multicard (Uzbekistan): accepting payments on the website (cards, Payme, Click and other wallets). It receives the order number and amount; card details are entered on the payment page directly with Multicard.

3.7. Telegram: bot messages and sign-in via the Mini App. Expo (USA): push notifications (only the device token and the message text).

3.8. Each provider processes data in accordance with its own privacy policy. In cases provided for by law, data may be disclosed to competent government authorities upon their lawful request.

4. Cross-border transfers

4.1. Your data is stored and processed on servers outside Uzbekistan: account data and uploaded and finished videos — in the European Union (Netherlands: Railway, Google Cloud Run and Cloud Storage); the speech text and individual frames — in the USA (Google, Anthropic); website traffic — through the Cloudflare network; push notifications — through Expo (USA). Speech-to-text (VoiceLab, AIsha) and SMS (Eskiz) are processed in Uzbekistan.

4.2. By using the Service and accepting this policy, you consent to the transfer of your personal data (including your face and voice in the video) to those countries to the extent necessary for the montage. Transfers take place only over an encrypted channel, under contract and for the purpose of providing the Service. You may withdraw consent by deleting your account (clause 6.2).

5. Retention period

5.1. Uploaded and finished videos are stored for 7 days (those made before 21 October 2026: 30 days) and then deleted automatically. Once a montage is complete, intermediate files (audio, frames) are deleted immediately.

5.2. Files of montages that stopped with an error are deleted within 1 day; jobs with unconfirmed text are deleted within 7 days.

5.3. Database backups are kept for 14 days.

5.4. Account data is kept until the account is deleted.

6. Your rights

6.1. You may request access to, correction, export and deletion of your data.

6.2. You can delete your account from within the application (“Profile” → “Delete account”). This deletes all videos, uploaded files, your logo and fonts, sessions, push tokens and account data. Records the law requires us to keep are kept for the period it sets.

6.3. Requests: [email protected] or @monty_support on Telegram. We may ask you to verify your identity; we will respond as quickly as possible and within the period established by law.

7. Security

7.1. Data is transmitted only over an encrypted channel (HTTPS). Sign-in sessions are stored in the database as hashes, not in plain form. Finished videos can be opened only via a short-lived signed link.

7.2. Server access is restricted, the type and size of uploaded files are checked, and the service is continuously monitored.

7.3. No system is 100% secure, but we take reasonable measures to protect your data. If you find a security issue: [email protected].

8. Children

The Service is not intended for persons under 16. If we learn that we have collected a child’s data without parental consent, we will delete it.

9. Cookies and local storage

The website and application store on your device only the data necessary for them to work (sign-in session, selected language and montage settings). In addition, the monty.uz pages use Yandex Metrica for visit statistics: it collects anonymous data on which pages were opened, where visitors came from and the device type, and sets its own cookies. Session recording (Webvisor) is off. No advertising cookies are used. You can block Metrica in your browser settings or with an ad blocker.

10. Changes

If the policy changes, we will notify you on the website, in the application or via Telegram before the changes take effect.
