Who we are and scope

Yonas Ketema, doing business as meetan and operating from the United States, operates meetàn. Privacy contact: support@meetan.app.

Information you provide

We process account identifiers and authentication details; email, phone number, username, display name, profile content, home ZIP, preferences, event and itinerary content, join requests, messages and bulletin posts, ratings, likes, reports, blocks, and support communications.

When you use contact matching, the app reads the contact details you authorize and sends normalized phone numbers and email addresses to our database service for matching. We use them for that request and do not add or message your contacts.

A profile picture is public when you upload one. Do not upload a picture you do not have permission to use.

Location and event activity

With device permission, we process approximate or precise location to show nearby events, resolve your home area, support map features, and verify event check-ins. We also process event coordinates, search areas, guest-list activity, QR check-ins, saved events, and interactions with hosts.

Location permissions can be changed in device settings. Some nearby-event, posting-range, map, and check-in features will then be limited.

Subscriptions, devices, and service data

Apple, Google, and Qonversion provide product, entitlement, transaction, renewal, store, platform, environment, and pseudonymous subscription-user information. We do not receive your full payment-card number.

Our infrastructure providers may automatically process IP address, device and app information, timestamps, request metadata, crash or diagnostic data, and security logs needed to deliver and protect the service.

How we use information

We use information to authenticate accounts; provide event discovery, posting, Folks, messaging, check-in, ratings, itineraries, subscriptions, and support; personalize nearby results; enforce limits and agreements; prevent fraud and abuse; investigate reports; maintain security; comply with law; and improve reliability and accessibility.

How information is shared

Information is shared with other members according to the feature and your settings—for example, public profile basics, event details, host information, Folk relationships, messages, and aggregate host reputation. Phone number, email, home coordinates, and exact check-in evidence are not public profile fields.

We use service providers including Supabase for authentication and database infrastructure, Qonversion and the app stores for subscriptions, and map/platform services for location features. We may disclose information when required by law, to protect people and the service, in a business transfer, or with your direction. Linked third-party apps receive information you choose to send them.

Advertising, sale, and tracking

meetàn does not currently sell personal information, serve third-party behavioral advertising, or use personal information to track you across apps and websites owned by other companies. If that changes, we will update this Policy and provide any consent or opt-out controls required by law before using information that way.

Retention and security

We retain information while your account is active and as reasonably needed for service operation, fraud prevention, disputes, safety investigations, legal obligations, and backups. Retention varies by record type. Deleted content may remain temporarily in backups or where preservation is legally required.

We use access controls, row-level database policies, encryption in transit, minimized subscription audit data, and other safeguards. No system can guarantee absolute security.

Your choices and rights

You can update profile information, control device permissions, block members, manage app-store subscriptions, and request account deletion. Depending on where you live, you may also have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to, or obtain a copy of personal information. Contact us to exercise a right; we may verify the request.

Deleting a meetàn account does not cancel an Apple or Google subscription. Some information may be retained where permitted or required for security, legal claims, or compliance. Privacy requests can be sent to support@meetan.app.

Children, transfers, and changes

meetàn is for adults age 18 and older and is not directed to children. If we learn that a minor created an account, we may disable it and delete associated information.

Information may be processed in the United States and other places where providers operate, subject to applicable safeguards. Material Policy changes will be presented in the app for renewed acceptance and the effective date will be updated.
