Privacy Policy

Friendo ("we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our application and services.

1. Information We Collect

Account Information: When you register, we collect your name, email address, and password (stored securely via our authentication provider).

Calendar Data: If you connect an external calendar (e.g. Google Calendar), we may access event titles, dates, and times solely to display your availability and prevent scheduling conflicts. We do not store the contents of your calendar events unless you explicitly save them as a meetup.

Usage Data: We collect information about how you interact with the app, such as pages visited, features used, and error reports, to improve our service.

2. How We Use Your Information

• To provide and maintain the Friendo service
• To process meetup proposals, RSVPs, and group memberships
• To send you notifications about group activity and meetup updates
• To improve and personalize your experience
• To detect and prevent fraud or abuse

3. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with:

• Other group members: Your display name, avatar, and availability status are visible to members of groups you join.
• Service providers: We use trusted third parties for hosting, authentication, and analytics, bound by confidentiality obligations.
• Legal requirements: We may disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights and safety.

4. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures, including encryption in transit and at rest, access controls, and regular security audits. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.

5. Your Rights

You may access, update, or delete your account information at any time through your profile settings. You may also disconnect linked calendars. To request deletion of all personal data, contact us at the email below.

6. Cookies and Tracking

We use essential cookies for authentication and session management. We do not use third-party advertising cookies.

7. Changes to This Policy
