ROUNDMATE — PRIVACY POLICY

Effective \(effectiveDate)

We respect your privacy. This policy describes what data Roundmate

collects, how we use it, who we share it with, and your choices.

Plain-English where possible; legal-English where necessary.

1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

1.1 Account info you give us:

1.2 Content you create:

when you choose map sharing, optional photo, optional caption —

automatically expires in 30 minutes

1.3 Device + technical info:

the App, only when actively used for venue discovery or a live

round). We never run a continuous background location ping.

1.4 We do NOT collect:

2. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

2.1 To run the App — show your content, deliver notifications, sync

your journal across your devices.

2.2 To improve the App — anonymized usage analytics help us see which

features work. We do not sell this data.

2.3 To enforce the Terms — including detecting fraud, abuse,

underage-account attempts, and content that promotes dangerous

drinking.

2.4 To send notifications you've explicitly opted into (e.g. account

updates, replies, and your own check-in reminders).

3. WHO WE SHARE IT WITH

3.1 Friends you've approved — they see your logs (per your visibility

setting) and your live rounds.

3.2 Service providers (Apple's APNs for push notifications; cloud

infrastructure providers like Supabase for sync, when implemented) —

strictly to operate the App.

3.3 Legal compliance — if required by law, court order, or to protect

the safety of any person, we may disclose information as legally

required.

3.4 We do NOT sell, rent, or trade your personal information.

3.5 Sponsored content. Roundmate may show clearly-labeled sponsored

content — a Featured drink in Discover, a Featured venue on the map,

or a brewery-partnered round skin. Every sponsored placement carries

a visible "Featured" badge.

3.6 We do NOT use personalized advertising. Sponsored content is the

same for every user who sees it — we never let sponsors target you

based on what you drink, where you go, or who your friends are.

We do NOT share personally-identifying information with advertisers.

4. LIVE BROADCAST PRIVACY

4.1 Manual check-ins ("rounds") are visible only to friends you've

approved and only when you choose to share one. They are not public.

They are not crawled or indexed.

4.2 A private timer never shares your location with friends. A map

check-in shares your location only for that one 30-minute window.

Roundmate does not offer automatic check-ins.

4.3 Coordinates attached to a map check-in are deleted with the

check-in at the 30-minute mark.

5. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

Roundmate is intended for users of legal drinking age. We do not

9. CHANGES

We may update this Policy. Material changes will be announced before

they take effect. Continued use after a change indicates acceptance.

10. SUBPROCESSORS

the App. Each is contractually bound to handle your data only as
