Your profile should also contain your date of birth, an email address and your gender, and of course you need your personal password.

There are also alternative registration options via Facebook, Twitter, or Google. Here you log in to our site via one of the sites mentioned.

After registering, you will receive an email from us at the email address you provided. By clicking on the confirmation link, you confirm to us (Dudu) that the specified email address exists and belongs to you. This unlocks your access to the Dudu Community. If you register via Facebook, Twitter, or Google, we will receive your e-mail address from the respective operator. You will also receive a confirmation link for your e-mail address here. You will also receive a temporary password from us by e-mail, which you can use to log in to Dudu with your associated e-mail address. You should then immediately change this password in your settings. Of course, a login via Facebook or one of the other operators mentioned is also possible at any time.

Your e-mail and your password are the access to Dudu. Therefore, make sure that your password is a secure password. Use passwords that contain a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.

You are responsible for keeping your access data secret. You are also responsible for all activities and processes that are carried out under your access data.

Dudu will never ask for your password, so don't give your password to any admin, moderator, or other supposedly responsible person.

With the creation of your account, you can create your account (profile). Any member have the option of creating multiple accounts (profiles) with their account and can switch between the profiles with one click. This gives the members the opportunity to use one profile as an example for the employer to see, another for their best friends and another for other purposes. For moderators or admins, this also means more freedom to be active in Dudu privately without having to create a new additional account.

You are responsible for all activities that are carried out with your Dudu account or your Dudu accounts (profiles). Therefore, you inform Dudu immediately of any unauthorized use or unauthorized access to your account or accounts (profiles). Dudu is not liable for damage, loss and other events that have arisen as a result of non-compliance with the above requirements.

Dudu assumes no liability for incorrectly provided data such as name, date of birth, age and gender, or for protected pseudonyms whose rights lie with third parties. The respective user is solely responsible for the consequences of such registration or use resulting from incorrect or unauthorized data.

Minors in Germany under the age of 16 require the permission of a legal guardian Art. 8 GDPR. In other countries such as Austria, the age limit may be lower. Therefore, inform yourself in advance about the regulations of Art. 8 GDPR in your country.

If the consent to the use of the Dudu platform is given by legal guardians, the responsibility for the actions and behavior or the violation of the terms of use of the minor on Dudu also lies with the legal guardians.

The legal guardians inform the minors about the terms of use and are aware that Dudu has no influence whatsoever on the content of chat conversations, video conversations, live streams or conversation partners, as well as the exchange of photos, files, links and other things. Therefore, it makes sense for the legal guardians to supervise and control the minor independently.

Consent for a minor can be given at any time by email to Dudu support. Written consent from a legal guardian for the minor, including in electronic form, must be submitted prior to registration. Should Dudu become aware that minors are using the Dudu platform without the consent of a legal guardian, Dudu reserves the right to block or delete this account without notice.
