Your context, not your commodity.
MeetWho only works because you tell it who you are and what you're looking for. This page explains — plainly — what we collect, why we collect it, and the controls you have over it.
What we collect
Three kinds of information, and nothing more than we need to make an introduction make sense:
- Profile you write. Name, username, headline, bio, city, country, what you're currently working on, what you're looking for, what you can help with, expertise, projects and links you add yourself.
- Event context. The events you attend, the intent you set for each one, and RSVPs. Event-specific intent lives with the event, not on your public profile.
- Relationship memory. People you save, requests you send, connections you accept, encounters recorded through QR, private notes, tags and follow-up reminders. These are yours — nobody else sees them.
- Account basics. Email, sign-in provider (Google / Apple), and minimal technical logs needed to keep the service running securely.
What we don't collect
- Your contacts, calendar, or address book — we never scrape or import them.
- Behavioural ad-tech profiles. We don't sell data to advertisers or brokers.
- Location tracking in the background. Location is only the city you set on your profile.
- Match percentages designed to look scientific. We use plain-language fit labels because a number would pretend to know more than we do.
Why we use it
Everything we store maps to one of these purposes:
- Recommending the people you should meet at an event, with a written reason.
- Letting people find your public profile at meetwho.app/@username when you choose to publish it.
- Remembering who you met, why, and what you agreed to do next.
- Sending you introductions, requests and follow-up reminders you asked for — not marketing noise.
- Keeping the platform safe: preventing abuse, spam and unauthorised access.
What's public, what's private
Two clearly separated surfaces:
- Public profile — the fields you fill in are visible at
meetwho.app/@username. You control which links, projects and intents appear. - Private by default — email, phone, private notes, saved people, follow-ups, drafts, messages and the full list of events you've attended are never shown on your public profile.
- Event visibility — for each event you can choose to appear publicly, only to other attendees, or stay hidden.
Messages and requests
MeetWho is deliberately not LinkedIn. Anyone can send you a request to meet with a short note; nobody can send you a full inbox message until you accept. You can decline, ignore, mute, block or report any request. Requests you decline are not resurfaced.
Your controls
- Edit or delete anything on your profile at any time from /profile and /settings.
- Hide your public profile, or make specific event participations invisible.
- Export your data — profile, connections, notes, follow-ups — from Settings.
- Delete your account. Public profile and identifying data are removed; anonymised operational logs may be retained briefly for security.
- Block or report anyone. Blocking is silent on their side and removes them from your recommendations.
Where your data lives
MeetWho runs on modern managed cloud infrastructure with encryption in transit (TLS) and at rest. Access to production data is restricted, logged, and reserved for engineers who need it to keep the service running or to respond to your support requests. We describe our security posture in more depth on the Security page.
Children
MeetWho is built for professional networking and is not intended for anyone under 16. If you believe a minor has created an account, contact us and we'll remove it.
Changes to this page
When we change how we handle data in any material way, we'll update this page and — where the change affects you — notify you inside the product before it takes effect. Older versions are available on request.
