MeGroop Privacy Policy

Draft version 2026-10-12 for owner and legal review — not yet effective. The legal operator name, mailing address, support/privacy email, launch regions, effective date, and exact retention periods must be supplied before publication.

Event locations and Google Maps

When you choose a Google place, MeGroop stores its Google Place ID and any label or meeting instructions you type. Current place names, addresses, and map coordinates are requested from Google Maps Platform only when needed for the active view and are not stored by MeGroop. Google processes those requests under the Google Maps Platform Terms and Google Privacy Policy. A manually entered location stays user-authored. If you explicitly use current location, the device coordinates are attached to that Event; Me Groop does not collect continuous or background location history.

Invitations and contacts

Resend processes the destination address and minimal invitation content for an email invitation. The native contacts picker returns only the contact you choose; MeGroop does not upload your address book. Native text invitations open your device composer and are not sent by MeGroop.

Information MeGroop handles

Account information includes your verified email and authentication records. Your profile may include a display name and avatar. MeGroop processes private Event details, invitations, membership state, messages, photographs and captions, reports and blocks, reminder preferences, and limited security and moderation records.

How information is used

MeGroop uses this information to authenticate you, create and operate private Events, deliver invitations, show Event activity and Memories to authorized participants, schedule device reminders, secure the service, respond to reports, enforce the Community Standards, provide support, and comply with law.

Sharing

Event details, messages, photos, and participant profile information are shared only with authorized Event participants as described in the app. Invitation previews are restricted to their verified recipient. Service providers may process data only to operate approved authentication, hosting, storage, email, safety, and support functions. MeGroop does not claim to sell personal information.

Photos and storage

Event photos are stored in private, authorization-aware storage. Access can end when a person leaves, is removed, is blocked, or an Event or account is deleted. Recipients may already have saved copies outside Me Groop.

Moderation and reporting

Users may report content or people and block other users. Authorized moderators may view only evidence tied to a report or pending photo review. Moderation actions are audited. The legal basis and duration for any retained safety record require owner and legal approval.

Retention and deletion

Active information is kept while needed to provide the service. A verified deletion request immediately disables access and queues deletion of owned Events, memberships, authored messages and photos, stored objects, profile, preferences, and authentication identity. Completion is reported only after Database, Auth, and Storage reconciliation. Exact active-data, backup, security-log, moderation-record, and legal-hold periods remain owner/legal decisions. Backup restoration must replay deletion tombstones.

Your choices

You can update your profile, control reminders, block users, report content, sign out, and request account deletion in the app or on the public deletion page. Contact information for privacy questions must be approved before launch.

Children

The proposed launch is adults-only, but eligibility and age-assurance decisions are not yet approved. MeGroop must not be represented as suitable for children until the owner and legal counsel approve the applicable safeguards and store declarations.
