1. Data We Collect

• Feedback and participation in events
• Name, age, gender, birthdate, interests, photo
• Location (manual or via device)
• Messages in group chats (temporarily)

2. Why We Collect It

We use your data to enable:

• Creating and joining events
• Matching by interests or proximity
• Ensuring community safety and moderation
• Improving the app via feedback

3. Data Sharing

We never sell your data. Data is only accessed by the internal FriendZ team and secure analytics partners.

Your profile will show only your first name and the first letter of your last name (e.g., Guillaume M.).

Your profile will show only your calculated age, not your birthdate.

4. Data Retention

• Event and message data is retained temporarily (for example, messages are deleted one hour after an event ends).
• Personal data is retained until account deletion or upon user request.

5. Data Storage

• Your data is stored securely on AWS.
• We use standard encryption protocols and security best practices.

6. Your Rights

At any time, you may:

• Request access to your data
• Request deletion of your data
• Request correction of inaccurate data

To do so, contact support@joinfriendz.com

7. Cookies & Tracking

FriendZ does not use third-party advertising cookies. We may use internal analytics tools to improve the experience.

8. Updates
