Welcome to the Meete Privacy Policy! Meete (the “Software”, “App” or “Service”) is operated by Meete iOS Development Team (“we” or “us”), we respect your privacy and have developed this Privacy Policy to demonstrate our commitment to protecting your privacy.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, store, protect, and share your information, and with whom we share it. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully before using the Software. By downloading and installing our App, you agree that we can collect, transfer, store, disclose and use your information as described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not use the Service.
This Privacy Policy applies only to information we collect in our App and in e-mail, text and other electronic communications sent through or in connection with our App. This Privacy Policy DOES NOT apply to information collected in other apps or websites (including third-party websites you may access through the App). These third parties may have their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to read before providing information on or through them.
To access and use this App, you have to be at least 18 years old or reach the legal age of majority as prescribed by laws and regulations of the jurisdiction where you reside (the “Minimum Legal Age”).
We do not knowingly collect any information about or market to any children, minors or anyone under the Minimum Legal Age. If you have not yet reached the Minimum Legal Age, you shall refrain from using this App, and must not submit any personal information through any of the App’s functions or features.
If we become aware that any person below the Minimum Legal Age has registered an account or furnished personal data to us, we will take prompt action to terminate the relevant user account and permanently erase all personal information associated with such account without delay.
Should you believe we hold any personal data belonging to an individual under the Minimum Legal Age, please reach out to us via email address set out at the bottom of this Policy.
We attach great importance to the safety and privacy protection of children. For this purpose, we have formulated a dedicated detailed Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation Standards. You may access its full text via the link below: https://resource.meeteapp.com/Meete_iOS/1761811897201.html
When you create an account (“Account”), you may volunteer to provide certain information (“Account Information”) about yourself to the Software, such as username, gender identity, phone number, date of birth, preference, personal introduction, photos, profile image and other detailed information.
Your Content includes any content you create, import, upload, send, publish, generate, receive or store through the Software or Services (including any content generated by the artificial intelligence features we may provide, if applicable), including without limitation photos, videos, texts, profile avatars, audio recordings and other related materials (collectively referred to as “Your Content”).
Keep in mind that viewers of your photos, chats, or other shared items can always take screenshots, save them, or copy them elsewhere. So please avoid sharing anything you wouldn’t feel comfortable having others keep or pass on.
Information you provide may contain sensitive personal information within the meaning of relevant state privacy legislation. Our processing of such data is governed by applicable legal requirements, specifically to deliver the Services and for other authorized purposes set forth under state laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”). You have the sole election whether to include sensitive personal information in your user content or other voluntary submissions. As defined under statutes like the CCPA, sensitive personal information explicitly encompasses racial or ethnic origin, national origin, religious beliefs, physical or mental health diagnoses, sexual life or orientation, transgender or nonbinary identity, citizenship or immigration status, and financial information. We do not require that you supply this information. Nevertheless, if you choose to post user content relating to these topics, please be aware that such content may be rendered visible to other users and the public, subject to the parameters of your privacy settings.
We may collect your approximate location data inferred from your device and network identifiers, including your IP address and device system configuration parameters.
If you’ve chosen to turn on Location Services in our App and in your device settings, we may retrieve location signals sourced from your device’s GPS and other positioning sensors, and obtain either approximate or precise location data transmitted by your device’s geolocation module, determined by the permission tier you enable.
Approximate location data only reveals your broad geographic area, such as your city or adjacent district, without pinpointing your exact whereabouts. We can identify that your device is in a certain area but cannot pinpoint its exact location. By contrast, precise location data delivers far higher geographic accuracy.
When you opt to enable Location Services, we leverage your approximate or precise location to identify your country and regional jurisdiction, enable location-based features including nearby user recommendations, showing locally relevant content and displaying distance.
Where precise location is available, you can turn this setting on or off at any time through your device’s Location Services.
To use video or voice communication features in the Software, you may voluntarily grant us access to your microphone and camera. For other features, such as setting avatars or sending images to other users, you may voluntarily permit us to access your camera or photo gallery. We will only access your camera, microphone, or photo album upon your explicit confirmation.
To ensure that you may save photos or cache information normally to your device, you may voluntarily grant us permission to access the storage of your device.
If you communicate with us via our support section or via email, we may collect your email address and other information you send to us.
If you participate in any activities within the Software, for example, expressing interest in a particular commercial offering, or liking, commenting on, or taking part in a commercial campaign, we may, for the purpose of improving the effectiveness of such activities, collect your username, profile avatar, and other information relating to your activities on the Software. Such information may be associated with advertisements, promotional offers, and other sponsored or commercial content displayed by us across the Software.
We may collect information about your device when you use the Software, including your configuration and settings of the Software and Services, version of the Software and Services; ISP (Internet Service Provider), Internet protocol (IP) address, Media Access Control (MAC) address, Unique Device Identifier (OpenUDID), device configuration and identifiers, Identifier For Advertising (IDFA). IDFA is collected with your authorization through the App Tracking Transparency (ATT) framework for advertising attribution and analytics purposes. You may control IDFA tracking at any time through your iOS device settings.
We may collect certain usage information relating to your use of and interaction with the Software, including but not limited to: the duration and frequency of your use of the Services; and your interactions with other users, such as comments, likes and reports.
We may automatically analyze your usage information, either based on your configured preferences or through computer-programmed algorithms, for the purpose of predicting your preferences. Such analysis enables us to provide you with enhanced friend recommendation services, such as recommendation pages, card matching, and “People Nearby” features.
A. Collection and Processing of Face Data
When you upload a photo for the purpose of setting your profile avatar, we solely employ CIDetector (provided within Apple’s Core Image framework) to detect the presence of a human face in the photo. Should no face be detected, the Software will prompt you to re-upload.
When you utilize certain features that involve processing your facial photos, we or third-party AI providers (when the feature is powered by such providers) may analyze the face data contained therein, including but not limited to the position and shape of facial features (e.g., eyes, nose, mouth) and gender cues. Such face data is processed solely for the purpose of rendering special-effect images based on the portrait you have provided.
B. Storage and Sharing of Face Data
Where certain features are enabled through third-party AI providers, we may share the facial photos you upload with such providers, but solely for the purpose of processing your facial photos in accordance with your instructions and generating special-effect images for you.
We will store your facial photos only when you upload them as your profile avatar, and such storage is limited to displaying the avatar you have set. Beyond this, neither we nor third parties will store any other face data. (For further details on biometric information processing, please refer to Section 3.4 below.)
To ensure a safe and healthy user experience within the Software, we may collect photos, videos, text and voice that you intend to post on your profile or moments, and share such content with third-party service providers for pre-publication moderation. These providers screen the content for any material suspected to be illegal, obscene, or otherwise objectionable. If the content is determined to fall within such prohibited categories, you will be prevented from posting it on your profile or moments.
When you use AI-powered features offered through the Software (collectively, “AI Features”), such as AI image editing or generation, we may collect the text, images, and other input data you provide, and share such data with third-party AI and content monitoring providers. This sharing is necessary to enable the AI technology to interpret your instructions and generate corresponding outputs, while the monitoring technology simultaneously screens both your inputs and the AI-generated outputs to filter out any content that may violate applicable laws or our content policies.
We may collect and process certain information relating to the virtual diamonds and points held in your Account, including but not limited to the accrual, expenditure, conversion, and current balance thereof. Such data is collected to enable the core functionality of our virtual economy and maintain accurate activity logs for your account. We process this information solely for the performance of our Services and for internal analytics, and we do not use it for any purpose other than those expressly set forth in this Policy.
We may collect certain information relating to your purchases and consumption records in connection with virtual diamonds and other paid services offered through the Software, including without limitation: (i) items purchased, payment time, order status; and (ii) the following consumption details, which we may share with Apple upon its request:

We do not collect, and we are not responsible for, your payment card details or other sensitive financial credentials. All payment transactions are processed and stored by third-party service providers (e.g., Apple for iOS version, or Google for Android). We recommend that you review and familiarize yourself with the privacy policies of such third parties before providing any personal information.
We may receive the information described in this Privacy Policy from external sources, which may include the following:
If you choose to sign up or log in to the Services through a third-party service, we may collect your publicly available profile information and email address from that service.
Information concerning you may be provided to us by other users or third parties, for example, where you are identified or mentioned in user content, correspondence, or in any complaint, appeal, request, or feedback directed to us, or where your contact information is transmitted to us by others.
A. The terms “biometric identifier” and “biometric information” shall be construed in accordance with the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (740 ILCS 14, “BIPA”), the EU General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679, “GDPR”), the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”), the CCPA and all other applicable privacy laws worldwide.
B. “Biometric identifier” means retina scans, iris scans, fingerprints, voiceprints, facial geometry scans and other physiological or behavioral biometric markers. Categories excluded under Section 10 of BIPA shall not be deemed biometric identifiers hereunder.
C. “Biometric information” means any data derived from a biometric identifier that can identify a natural person. Raw photographs, videos and audio files do not constitute biometric information unless they undergo dedicated technical processing for the purpose of unique individual identification or authentication.
(“Biometric identifiers” and “biometric information” hereinafter collectively referred to as “Biometric Information”)
D. “Third-Party Provider” means vendors we cooperate with to deliver content moderation and artificial intelligence technical services.
A. By clicking to accept this Privacy Policy, you grant our express written consent and authorization permitting us to collect, store, transmit, process, retain and disclose Biometric Information contained in Your Content, for purposes including but not limited to: (a) Normal display, playback and sharing of Your Content; (b) Collecting and analyzing images, voices and text contained in Your Content via Third-Party Providers to detect and filter illegal or objectionable content; © Processing materials you input into the Software via Third-Party Providers’ AI tools, generating corresponding outputs in accordance with your instructions and screening both input materials and AI-generated content for illegal or objectionable material; (d) Enforcing this Privacy Policy, Terms of Service and Content Guidelines, and removing violating content as required by applicable laws; (e) Complying with statutory reporting obligations, regulatory inquiries and court orders; (f) Maintaining basic operation of the Software under the data minimization principle.
B. If any third-party individual appears in any video, photograph or audio content you post or intend to post, by uploading such content, you represent and warrant that you have obtained the prior explicit informed consent of such third-party or its guardian (if required by law) permitting us to collect, analyze and process their images, voices and all other information contained in the content as set forth in this Privacy Policy.
C. You acknowledge and agree that Your Content you upload to the Software may contain Biometric Information as defined under applicable laws. By uploading content bearing your facial images, voices or other Biometric Information, you confirm that this Privacy Policy constitutes the written notice required by law, and we hereby disclose the following processing methods to you:
(a) Scope of Processing – No Biometric Identification.
Notwithstanding the consent you grant us to use your Biometric Information, the Software does not currently deploy any native functional modules, algorithms or commercial tools engineered to actively extract, scan, analyze, match or independently exploit facial, fingerprint or other biometric templates for user identity authentication, targeted advertising, automated user behavioral profiling or cross-platform user tracking.
Neither we nor our Third-Party Providers will utilize facial or voice data from your uploaded content to identify you or any third-party individuals featured therein.
Our processing of Your Content as set forth in Items (b) and © of this Section shall not be deemed the “collection” or “capture” or “storage” or “use” of Biometric Information under applicable laws, and we are not a “private entity in possession of biometric identifiers or biometric information” within the meaning of BIPA.
(b) Content Moderation – Image, Voice and Text Analysis.
To deliver a safe and wholesome service experience for all users, we will collect and analyze images, voices and text contained in Your Content that you intend to post on the Software via Third-Party Providers. The sole purpose of such analysis is to detect and filter illegal or objectionable content, and prevent any such content from being published on the Software. This analysis involves no extraction or processing of Biometric Information. Image review is conducted on an overall photograph level only (e.g. detecting prohibited visual materials), without measuring or extracting facial geometry, interpupillary distance or any other biometric features. Audio review is conducted on the whole audio track (e.g. detecting prohibited verbal content), without extracting or processing voiceprints for identification purposes.
© AI Features (If Applicable).
When you utilize AI Features of the Software (e.g. AI image editing), we will collect texts, images and other materials you input, and share such data with Third-Party Providers. Third-Party AI tools will recognize your requests and generate corresponding outputs per your instructions; meanwhile, Third-Party moderation systems will detect both your input materials and AI-generated content to filter illegal or objectionable materials. The sole purpose of processing texts, images and audios via AI Features is to produce edited derivative works, rather than biometric identification or authentication.
Although we do not collect, capture or store Biometric Information as defined under applicable laws and thus hold no Biometric Information subject to mandatory retention or destruction requirements, we maintain a publicly available written retention and destruction policy for all files that may incidentally contain Biometric Information as required by applicable laws:
(a) We will not intentionally collect or retain any Biometric Information;
(b) If we incidentally obtain any Biometric Information in the course of processing Your Content, such information shall be permanently deleted upon the earlier of: (i) full fulfillment of the original processing purpose; or (ii) three calendar years after your last interaction with the Software; and
We may extend the retention period solely where a valid warrant or subpoena issued by a court of competent jurisdiction mandates data preservation.
We shall not sell, lease, trade or derive any commercial gains from any Biometric Information contained in Your Content.
We will not disclose Biometric Information to any third party unless one of the four legal exceptions below applies:
(a) You provide separate specific written consent for such disclosure;
(b) Disclosure is necessary to complete a transaction initiated and authorized by you;
© Disclosure is required by applicable laws and regulations; or
(d) Disclosure is compelled by valid court orders, warrants or subpoenas.
The limited data sharing with Third-Party Providers for content moderation and AI Features under this Section 2), C shall not constitute prohibited disclosure.
A. We adopt the reasonable standard of care prevailing across the social media industry to encrypt, store and transmit all user content that may incidentally contain Biometric Information, and prevent unauthorized access or data leakage.
B. The technical, administrative and physical security safeguards we deploy for materials bearing Biometric Information shall be equal to or more stringent than those applied to other confidential and sensitive personal information in our systems.
A. You are entitled to the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, objection and withdrawal of consent in respect of your Biometric Information. Details of each right and exercise procedures are set forth in Section 11 of this Privacy Policy.
B. If you withdraw your consent to processing Biometric Information, such withdrawal shall not affect the lawfulness of all processing activities conducted prior to withdrawal based on your original consent.
