The Meete Android mobile application (called the “Software” or “App”) is under the operation of the Meete Android Development Team (“we”, “us”, or “our team”). The provision of this Software to you necessitates the collection of a portion of your personal data. We highly value your privacy and promise to secure your personal information, hence this Privacy Policy has been drafted by our team.
This Privacy Policy sets forth our rules for handling your personal data and safeguarding your privacy throughout your use of our mobile applications and corresponding services (collectively the “Services”), as well as clarifies all rights and alternative choices you hold with respect to your personal information. We acknowledge your legitimate right to be fully informed of our data collection and utilization practices triggered by your access to the Software and Services. The Software and Services cover a diverse range of functions and content provided and distributed by our team. Should you disagree with any provisions contained within this document, you must refrain from utilizing the Software and Services entirely.
In order to access and use this App, you will be required to be at least 18 years old or to have reached the legal age of majority as determined by the laws and regulations of your jurisdiction of residence (the “Minimum Legal Age”).
We will not knowingly collect any information about, or engage in marketing to, any children, minors, or persons under the Minimum Legal Age. If you have not yet reached the Minimum Legal Age, you should refrain from using this App and you must not submit any personal information through any of its functions or features.
If we should become aware that any individual below the Minimum Legal Age has registered an account or has provided personal data to us, we will promptly terminate that account and permanently erase all personal information associated with it without delay.
Should you believe that we hold any personal data concerning a person under the Minimum Legal Age, please contact us via the email address provided at the end of this Policy.
We attach great significance to the safety and privacy of children. For this purpose, we have developed a dedicated detailed Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation Standards. You may access its complete text via the following link: https://resource.todatefree.com/Meete_Android/1736735893618_h5.html.
1)Account Information
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.
2)Your Content
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.
3)Sensitive Personal Information
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.
4)Geolocation Information
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.
5)Permission to Access Camera, Microphone, Photo Album
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.
6)Permission to Access Storage
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.
7)Permission to Access Floating Window
Where you operate third-party mobile applications, such permission is required to sustain the availability of our voice and video chat functionalities. This overlay authorization enables our Software to render its graphical interface in an overlaid layer above any third-party applications running on your device, so you may continuously engage in our audio and video conversation features without fully switching back to our Software foreground. You retain the right to enable or disable this permission at any time through your device’s system settings.
8)Support Related Information
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.
9)Information for Commercial Activities
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, Globally Unique Identifier (GUID), Android ID.
2)Network Status.
The Software may collect your device’s network status information, including WLAN/Wi-Fi connection status and cellular data network status, to stabilize service operation, adapt to network environments, and optimize the delivery of in-app services and advertisement content. We identify your current network type and connection availability to prioritize content transmission over available WLAN/Wi-Fi , which helps reduce your cellular data consumption and deliver a more stable user experience. Such network information is collected solely for service adaptation and operational optimization purposes. We will not conduct user tracking or data profiling through such network status data.
3)Usage Information.
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.
4)Face Data.
5)Content Moderation and AI Feature Data Processing
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.

To deliver Services to you, the information described in Section 3 (“Information We Collect”) is stored and processed on servers located in the United States, hosted by third-party cloud service providers. Our operation team primarily in Hong Kong may access and review certain user information for purposes including service maintenance, customer support and safety monitoring.
Whenever we transfer your information to jurisdictions outside your country of residence, we ensure that such transfers are carried out in compliance with your local legal requirements, to ensure that your personal information receives an adequate level of protection. While such information is outside of your jurisdiction of residence, it is subject to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is held, and may be subject to disclosure to the governments, courts or law enforcement or regulatory agencies of such other jurisdiction, pursuant to local laws.
If you are situated within the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom (UK) or Switzerland, we rely on the Standard Contractual Clauses (“SCCs”) approved by the European Commission as the appropriate transfer mechanism for such cross-order data flows. Where personal data is transferred from the EEA, the UK or Switzerland to the United States or to Hong Kong, such transfers are conducted in accordance with applicable data protection laws. We implement appropriate safeguards, including SCCs, to ensure that your personal data receives an adequate level of protection during such transfers. Our relevant entities located in China are granted limited remote access to the information described in “Information We Collect” for the purpose of performing essential operational functions only, and is bound by confidentiality obligations and our internal data access policies.
