Privacy Policy

Connectme.express ("Connectme", "we", "us", or "our") operates the Connectme.express mobile application and website (the "Service"), a social networking platform that helps people in the Philippines connect. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the Service you agree to this policy.

1. Who can use Connectme

Connectme is intended only for adults 18 years of age or older. We do not knowingly allow anyone under 18 to create an account or use the Service. If we learn that an account belongs to a minor, we will remove it. See our Child Safety Standards.

2. Information we collect

• Account information — your email address and authentication details when you sign up with email or Google.
• Profile information — name, age, gender, occupation, general location, bio, and photos you choose to add.
• Content you create — posts, comments, photos, hearts, and messages you send to other users.
• Approximate location — if you enable it, so we can show relevant people nearby. You can use the app without sharing precise location.
• Payment information — when you buy credits, boosts, or make withdrawals, payments are handled by our processors PayMongo and PayPal. We do not store your card or bank details; the processors handle them under their own privacy policies.
• Usage and device data — basic technical information such as device type and app activity, used to keep the Service secure and working.

3. How we use your information

• To create and operate your account and profile.
• To show you other people and let you connect, message, and interact.
• To process payments, boosts, referrals, and wallet withdrawals.
• To keep the community safe — reviewing reports, enforcing our rules, and preventing abuse.
• To communicate with you about your account and important updates.

4. How your information is shared

Your profile (name, age, photos, occupation, bio) and content you post are visible to other signed-in users of the Service. We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with:

• Service providers — Google Firebase (authentication, database, storage, hosting), PayMongo and PayPal (payments). They process data on our behalf.
• Legal and safety — authorities when required by law, or to prevent harm, fraud, or child exploitation.

5. Reporting, blocking, and safety

You can report or block any user from their profile or a conversation. Reports are confidential and reviewed by our team. We may remove content or accounts that violate our rules. For child-safety matters, see our Child Safety Standards.

6. Data retention and deletion

We keep your information while your account is active. You can delete your account at any time, which removes your profile and associated content from the Service. Some records may be retained where required by law or to prevent abuse. To request deletion or a copy of your data, contact us at the address below.

7. Security

We use industry-standard measures, including encrypted connections and access controls, to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we work to protect your data.

8. Your choices and rights

• Edit or remove your profile information at any time in the app.
• Report or block other users.
• Delete your account.
• Contact us to access, correct, or delete your personal data.

9. Advertising and cookies

Our public website at connectme.express displays advertising served by Google. We do not show advertising inside the Connectme.express mobile app, and we do not show it on any page you reach after signing in — your conversations, calls, live streams and profile are free of advertising.

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites.
• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and other sites on the internet.
• You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info/choices.
• We do not share your name, email address, photos, messages or any other account information with advertisers.

For more information on how Google uses data when you use our site, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date on this page.
