This Privacy Policy explains how JoinMe collects, uses, stores, and protects personal information when you use our applications and website.

1. Data We Collect

• Account data: email, authentication identifiers, and profile details.
• Event data: posts, location text, optional coordinates, and participation requests.
• Communication data: in-app chat messages related to approved event connections.
• Operational data: device metadata, app version, and notification token records.

2. Why We Process Data

• To provide core product functionality such as sign in, event creation, and matching.
