Privacy policy

1. Data we collect

We collect information needed to provide, secure, improve, and support the Services.

Account data

• Verified email address for sign-in and account access.
• First name and last name for your Radhoc profile and meetup context.
• Your optional marketing email preference and consent state.
• Your optional activity-email preference, including whether you enabled or disabled plan notification emails.
• Session, internal user, and device identifiers needed to keep you signed in.

Contacts and invite data

• Saved relationships with other Radhoc users, including their name and email address.
• Meetup participants, invite links, invite claims, and access state.

Meetup and place data

• Meetup details you provide, such as place, time, participants, status, and history.
• Place names, addresses, provider place ids, and coordinates when a place is attached.

Device, notification, support, and operations data

• Internet address used transiently for security, rate limiting, and, when needed, inferring an approximate area for place-search bias.
• Native push tokens and push or email notification delivery state for the channels you enable.
• Support context you choose to send, such as request ids or timestamps.
• Privacy-safe logs, diagnostics, rate-limit records, and product analytics events.

2. Data we do not collect

The Services do not access or upload your device address book and are not designed to collect child profiles, payment-card data, or health and fitness data. Radhoc is not a children's app.

3. How we use data

We use data to provide and protect the Services, including to:

• Create and manage email-based accounts.
• Send transactional email for sign-in and account access.
• Send optional activity email about plan invitations, cancellations, and important changes when you enable it.
• Send marketing email only if you opt in.
• Provide private meetup, invitation, place, and notification features.
• Prevent abuse, rate-limit sensitive flows, troubleshoot errors, and secure the service.
• Understand product usage with minimized analytics that avoid direct personal content.
• Respond to support, privacy, deletion, abuse, safety, and account-access requests.

Activity email, native push notifications, and marketing email are separate choices. You can change activity email in Settings at any time. Disabling it prevents future activity-email delivery without disabling essential sign-in email or another notification channel. Radhoc does not enable open or click tracking for activity email.

4. Private meetups and invite previews

Meetups are private and are not publicly discoverable. Invite links may display limited preview information, including the host's first name, place name, and general date, but users must sign in and claim an invite before accessing full meetup details.

5. Contacts and age eligibility

Saved contacts are relationships with other Radhoc users. We do not request access to or upload your device address book.

The Services are intended only for people who are at least 18 years old. People under 18 may not create accounts or use the Services, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe that a person under 18 has provided personal information to Radhoc, contact us so we can take appropriate action.

Adults coordinating activities involving children should not submit personal information about them through the Services.

6. Places and location

We use Google Maps Platform for place search, place details, and maps-related features where implemented. If you choose a foreground location option and grant permission, the Services may use device coordinates to show nearby place suggestions and improve typed place search. Native platform services may also resolve your current address for selection; web does not. We may otherwise use MaxMind to infer an approximate area from your internet connection for search ranking. MaxMind may receive your IP address, and Google may receive place searches and location-bias or nearby-search coordinates. Using a location option does not by itself save a meetup location or share one with participants. A meetup place is saved and shared with participants only after you separately select a result and save the meetup. That selected place may include a name, address, coordinates, and provider identifier. We do not use these signals for continuous background tracking.

7. Analytics, logs, and cookies

We use privacy-minimized logs and product analytics. Analytics use internal identifiers and coarse metadata rather than direct contact information, precise location, invite credentials, authentication secrets, or user-provided meetup content. The website and apps may use cookies or similar local storage for login, session management, app handoff, route behavior, and aggregate web analytics. We do not use personal data for third-party advertising or cross-app tracking.

8. How we share data

We share data with service providers that help us operate the Services. We require them to protect it consistently with this policy and applicable law.

We also share profile, contact, invitation, and meetup information with other Radhoc users as needed to provide the features you choose, including identifying hosts and participants and giving authorized participants access to meetup details.

• Resend for transactional sign-in email and optional activity-email delivery. Resend processes the recipient email address, message content, and delivery metadata needed to provide that service.
• Apple Push Notification service and Firebase Cloud Messaging for push notification delivery.
• Google Maps Platform for place search, place details, and maps-related features.
• MaxMind for inferring an approximate area from an internet connection to improve place search.
• Render for backend API, worker, Postgres, Redis, and related hosting infrastructure.
• Vercel for website hosting, route infrastructure, and aggregate web analytics.
• Google Workspace for support email.
• Amplitude for privacy-minimized product analytics across the app, website, API, and notification delivery system.

We may also disclose information when required by law or when needed to protect the rights, safety, security, or integrity of Radhoc, our users, or others, or transfer it as part of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets subject to this policy and applicable law.

9. No sale or advertising tracking

We do not sell personal information. We do not use personal information for third-party advertising, ad attribution, Meta Pixel, advanced matching, conversions APIs, or tracking users across apps or websites owned by other companies.

10. Security, retention, and your rights

We use encrypted transport, access controls, rate limits, privacy-safe logging practices, and provider security controls to protect data. Account data is kept while your account is active or as needed to provide the Services, comply with law, prevent abuse, resolve disputes, or maintain shared meetup history. Provider-derived place coordinates follow the documented provider freshness and retention policy. Operational logs and analytics follow active provider retention settings.

Account deletion revokes sessions and removes profile, contact, device, notification, and active meetup-access data associated with the account. Shared meetup history may remain where needed for other participants, but the deleted account is no longer identified by its prior profile or email address. Reusing the same email later creates a new account and does not restore prior access.

For step-by-step instructions or to request deletion without access to the app, visit Delete your Radhoc account.

You may request access, correction, or deletion of personal data we hold about you. Depending on your state, you may have additional privacy rights. Contact us to make a request.

Radhoc LLC is based in the United States, and the Services are currently available only in the United States.

We may update this policy as Radhoc changes. Material updates should be reflected on this page and, when appropriate, communicated through the app, support communication, or release notes.
