The app may use Firebase, AppMetrica, Yandex MapKit, and WayHome server infrastructure for analytics, push notifications, maps, and storage.

We do not sell personal data.

If a third-party provider acts as a processor or separate controller, its processing is limited by that role and applicable law.

Location is used for meeting discovery, maps, and navigation.

Microphone and Bluetooth are used for voice meetings and audio routing.

Notifications are used for reminders and service messages.

Camera, photos, and files are used only when the user initiates image upload or QR scanning.

Biometrics are used for local access protection on supported devices.

We process data based on contract performance, user consent, legitimate interests in security and service quality, and other bases available under applicable law.

If the app processes information related to health or addiction recovery, that processing is carried out only where permitted by applicable law and, where required, based on explicit consent or another valid legal basis.

We retain data only for as long as needed for the stated purposes, or as required by law, security, or backup obligations.

After account deletion, some data may remain temporarily in backups and security logs.

Where GDPR, UK GDPR, Swiss law, or similar regimes apply, users may have additional rights such as portability, restriction, objection, and the right to complain to a supervisory authority.

Where California law or similar regimes apply, users may have additional rights to access categories and specific pieces of data, correction, deletion, and non-discrimination.

Where data is transferred internationally, we rely on contractual, technical, and organizational safeguards where required by law.
