The full policy, is the actual legal document which has the same format as this summary that covers every item and service offered on our website(s).

Meetup1 has never generated money by selling your information to third parties for advertising purposes or by displaying their adverts to you, and we will never do so. We have always taken this approach, and we still do. This policy explains what data we gather about you; how we use, who has access to and what you can do to control how we use your data.

 Information Meetup1 collects and controls

We gather only the data we actually require. That includes data you voluntarily provide us when you open an account, sign up for an event, or contact customer service.
Your name and contact information are kept on file.

Some basic information is automatically recorded when you visit our websites or use our platform: how you arrived at the site, where you navigated while using our website and which features and settings you use. We use that recorded data to build new products and enhance existing websites and services.

Your information is used (by us) to create and administer your accounts, fulfil your requests for services, and keep an eye out for any unauthorized activity on your active or non-active accounts. Your provided data is used to keep you informed about changes to our current services and policies, customer service requests, and new items you might like.

We analyze all data we gather to better understand customer needs and enhance our websites and services.

We must have legal justification for gathering and using your information. Most of the time, we either have your permission or require the information to deliver the service you have asked us to provide. Where that is not the case, we must show that we have other legal justification, such as our respectable commercial interests.

We allow only our employees and contractors who have legitimate purpose for access to your personal information to have that access.
Should we disclose your information to third parties (such as developers, service providers, domain registrars, and resale partners) they are required to take reasonable security precautions and that disclosure of your information is to assist you by improving services provided for your use.

The European Economic Area (EEA) gives data subjects a number of rights (including access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and the right to object and to complain). No matter where you choose to live and use our websites, applications and services, Meetup1 promises to give you the same rights.

We retain your personal data for only as long as is necessary to fulfil the obligations set forth in this privacy statement. Should we no longer need to hold and process your information, we will either delete, anonymize, or isolate it, as the situation dictates

Information that Meetup1 processes on your behalf

By using Meetup1 applications to manage other people's data, such as information about your clients or staff, you are entrusting us with the task of processing such data.
You are entrusting data to us when you use a Meetup1 mobile application and granting us access to your contacts and photo collection. Service data is the information you give us to process.

As long as you decide to use Meetup1 applications and Services, we keep the data in your account. Your data will be automatically erased from our live database within six months of your account termination and from our backups within three months. Inactive accounts??

You can ask us to take specific actions with respect to your data if you reside in the European Economic Area (EEA) and you believe that a third party (for example, your employer or a business) whose services you use has provided us your data for processing. Please get in touch with the third party that provided us your data should you wish to exercise those rights, and we will work with them to fulfil your request.

We can offer you only a certain amount of privacy. Whenever necessary to comply with a legal requirement, avoid fraud, uphold an agreement, or for the safety of our users, we may need to share personal information.

We presently do not respect browser Do Not Track signals; but once a common protocol for processing such signals is established, we will adhere to that common protocol.

You can always contact us if you 1) have any enquiries regarding our privacy policies 2) want a GDPR-compliant Data Processing Addendum 3) want to notify us if you think we have gathered personal information from a minor 4) want your data removed from our blogs and forums.
