Privacy Policy

Your privacy matters to us

Effective Date: November 13, 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how Hangoa (“we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you use our App. By accessing or using Hangoa, you agree to the practices described below.

1. Information We Collect

  • User-Provided Data: When creating or joining hangouts, we may collect your name and email address.
  • Usage Data: We collect non-personal analytics such as browser type, device information, and general usage patterns.
  • Third-Party Data: We use Google Places and weather APIs to fetch location and forecast details relevant to your hangouts.

2. How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide, personalize, and improve the App’s functionality.
  • Suggest venues based on your preferences and real-world conditions.
  • Communicate essential updates about hangouts or new App features.

We do not sell or share personal data for marketing purposes.

3. Data Retention

We retain user and event information only as long as necessary to operate the App or comply with legal obligations. You may request deletion of your data at any time by contacting us at support@hangoa.com.

4. Third-Party Services

Hangoa relies on external APIs such as Google Places and OpenWeather. These providers may independently collect or store data according to their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review those policies for more details.

5. Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection against unauthorized access.

6. Children’s Privacy

Hangoa is intended for general audiences and is not specifically directed toward children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under 16 years old.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Material updates will be reflected by revising the “Effective Date” shown above.
