Privacy Policy
1. Who We Are
This Privacy Policy explains how YourTime LLC (“YourTime,” “we,” “us”) collects, uses, and shares information when you use the YourTime app and related services (the “Service”). The Service is offered in the United States and is intended for users 18 and older.
YourTime is committed to protecting your privacy and handling your personal data with restraint, transparency and care. The Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) explains what information and personal data we collect and process from you as a user of the YourTime platform (“Platform” or “Service”), how and why we use it, with whom we share it, how long we keep it, and how cookies and similar technologies are used, and the rights and choices you have. It applies to all visitors and users of the Platform.
This Policy should be read together with our Terms of Service and any other policy or product-specific terms that we make available from time to time.
2. Authorization to Process Personal Data
Registering an account on the Platform, connecting a Stripe account, participating in a meetup with another user where a deposit was made prior to the meeting (“Meetup”), communicating with us or otherwise providing us your personal data represents your acknowledgement of the processing of your personal data by YourTime for the purposes and in the manner described in our Terms of Service and this Policy. This processing forms part of the contract between you and us for use of the Platform.
We undertake to process your personal data in accordance with applicable data protection legislation and principles, and only for the purposes stated in this Policy or as otherwise permitted by law.
3. Information We Collect
Information you provide
- Account & profile: name, username, email address (used to send your login passcode), profile photo, and your 18+ age confirmation.
- Authentication: one-time login codes, and, if you use Sign in with Apple or Google, the identifier that provider provides.
- Support communications: messages you send us.
Information from your use of the Service
- Payment information — via Stripe: your card is collected and stored by Stripe, our payment processor. YourTime does not store full card numbers. We keep records of your Deposits, Holds, payouts, and outcomes.
- Identity verification — optional, via Stripe Identity: if you choose to verify, Stripe collects your government-ID images and a selfie. YourTime receives only the verification result and limited metadata — not your ID images.
- Presence / location during a Meetup — distance only: see Section4. We do not store your coordinates or your route.
- Device & usage: device and app information, push-notification token, in-app activity, and error and diagnostic logs (via Sentry) and product analytics (via PostHog), used to operate and improve the Service.
We may receive information about you from third parties, including Stripe. Once we associate third-party information with your account or otherwise process it as personal data, we handle it in accordance with this Policy.
Biometric information (only if you verify)
If you choose identity verification, Stripe captures a photo of your government ID and a selfie and performs a facial-match check. This involves biometric information. YourTime does not receive or store your ID images or biometric identifiers — only the pass/fail result and limited metadata. Where the law requires (for example, Illinois, Texas, and Washington), we provide notice and obtain your consent before the biometric step begins; biometric data is handled and deleted under Stripe’s retention practices and our policy. YourTime is not responsible for the data collected by Stripe.
4. How Location & Presence Work (Important)
To confirm that two people actually showed up, the app measures how far you are from the agreed Meetup spot during a limited window around the scheduled time. To make this reliable, the app may read your device location in the foreground, in the background, and while the app is closed, but only during that Meetup window and only with the location permission you grant on your device (including “Allow Always,” which iOS uses to wake the app near the Meetup).
We do not store your location or your route. During the Meetup window only, your device sends a location that our server immediately converts into a single number — your distance from the Meetup spot — plus whether you are inside the check-in radius and the reading’s accuracy. We store those values and discard the coordinates. Because we keep only distance to one agreed point, your position and route cannot be reconstructed. All presence data is deleted after the dispute window closes.
5. How We Use Information
First and foremost, we process your data to provide you with the Services and features you request. This includes but is not limited to creating and administering YourTime accounts and enabling Stripe connection. This processing is generally necessary to perform our contract with you. Without this data, we cannot provide the core Platform services to you.
We use your email address and communication preferences to send account messages, service updates, security notices, authentication or onboarding messages, support responses, legal notices, policy updates, referral or early-access communications, and product updates or marketing communications where permitted by law. Service-related communications are necessary for our contract with you or based on our legitimate interests. Marketing communications are sent only where permitted by law, and you may opt out at any time by using the unsubscribe link or contacting us.
- operate Meetups, Deposits, Holds, payouts, and the dispute process;
- confirm arrival and adjudicate disputes using presence information;
- process payments and identity verification through Stripe;
- detect and prevent fraud, collusion, spoofing, and abuse, and meet anti-money-laundering and other legal obligations;
- send transactional notifications about your Meetups and account;
- provide support, and maintain, secure, and improve the Service.
6. How We Share Information
We share information with:
- Other users: your display name, profile photo, verification badge, and — during a Meetup — your arrival status. We share whether you have arrived at the Meetup spot, not your precise location.
- Service providers: Stripe (payments, payouts, identity collected directly by Stripe), Supabase (backend hosting and database), Google (map display in the app; Google receives the map area shown and, if you display your position, your device location), Expo (push-notification delivery), Sentry (error monitoring), PostHog (product analytics), and Resend (transactional email). Providers act on our behalf under data-processing agreements.
- Legal & safety: to comply with valid legal process, enforce our Terms, or protect the rights, safety, and property of users, the public, or YourTime.
- Business transfers: in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, subject to this Policy.
We do not sell your personal information — including your location data — and we do not “share” it for cross-context behavioral advertising as those terms are defined under U.S. state privacy laws.
7. Data Retention
We keep account and Meetup data while your account is active and for a reasonable period afterward for legitimate business and legal needs. Presence/distance data is deleted after the dispute window closes. Financial, transaction, and identity-verification records are retained as required by applicable anti-money-laundering and tax laws (commonly about five years), even after account deletion. Other personal data is deleted or de-identified on deletion.
8. Your Choices & Rights
- Delete your account: you can delete your account in the app. As noted above, certain financial/identity records may be retained where the law requires.
- Permissions: manage location and push-notification permissions in your device Settings. Turning off location during a Meetup may prevent arrival confirmation and affect outcomes.
- Notifications: opt out of non-essential notifications in the app or device Settings.
Depending on your state, you may have rights to access, delete, correct, and obtain a portable copy of your personal information; to opt out of sale, sharing/targeted advertising, and certain profiling; and to appeal a decision on your request. We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights. To make a request, contact @getyourtime.app; we will verify your request and may allow an authorized agent to act for you.
California (CCPA/CPRA)
We collect these categories: identifiers (name, email, device IDs), commercial information (transactions), precise geolocation during Meetup (handled as distance-only during Meetups, as described above), internet/usage activity, and — if you verify — government identifiers and biometric information (collected and processed by Stripe). We use and disclose these for the purposes stated in Sections 4–5. We do not sell your personal data. We do not share your personal data for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not build advertising profiles about you based on tracked behavior across the internet. Our sensitive personal information (precise geolocation, biometric) is used only to provide the Service, and you may exercise the rights above, including the right to limit the use of sensitive personal information.
9. Security
We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information, including encryption in transit and at rest and access controls. We maintain a written information security program consistent with Massachusetts 201 CMR 17.00, as applicable. No system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
10. Children
The Service is intended for adults 18 and older and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18; if we learn we have, we will delete it.
11. U.S.-Only; Data Location
The Service is operated from the United States and intended for U.S. users; your information is processed in the United States.
12. Third-Party Services and Links
The Platform may integrate with, link to or rely on third-party services, including Stripe, external websites and other services. This Policy does not govern third-party services that we do not control. Those third parties process personal data under their own terms and privacy notices. You should review the privacy notices of any third-party services you use in connection with YourTime.
13. Modifications to the Policy
We may update or modify this Policy from time to time, for example to reflect changes in our practices, clarify our policies, introduce or remove features, address technology changes, or ensure compliance with legal requirements or guidance. If we make material changes, we will notify you by appropriate means, such as by posting a notice on our website or in-app, sending an email notification to the address associated with your account, or otherwise providing notice as required by law. We will also update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this Policy.
We encourage you to review this Policy periodically to stay informed about our data practices. Your continued use of the Platform after any changes to this Policy signifies your acknowledgement of the updated terms, to the extent permitted by law. If you do not agree with any update, you should discontinue use of the Services and may request that we delete your personal data, subject to the limitations described in this Policy.
Where a change requires consent under applicable law, we will seek consent before applying the relevant change. We will not apply changes to this Policy retroactively without your consent where consent is required by law.
14. Governing Law and Your Rights
Governing law and dispute resolution are addressed in our Terms of Service. Nothing in this Policy limits any rights or remedies you may have, or the jurisdiction of any supervisory authority or regulator, under the mandatory privacy, consumer-protection or data-protection laws of your jurisdiction.
