PRIVACY POLICY

Last Updated: 22/01/2025

WorldMeetUs (“we”, “us”, “our”) is committed to handling your information with honesty and transparency.
This Privacy Policy explains what we collect, why we collect it, and how your information is used within a public relationship-transparency platform.

By using WorldMeetUs, you agree to the practices described here.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information when you:

2. Public Visibility & Relationship Transparency

WorldMeetUs is a public-status platform.
By joining, you acknowledge and consent that:

  • Your first name, suburb, profile photo, and relationship status may be publicly visible

  • Couples who separate may have their past relationship stored privately in a history log

  • Public visibility is essential to the platform’s purpose and cannot be selectively hidden

We never display:

  • Payment information

  • Sensitive verification materials

Only the information you intentionally submit for public display is shown.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your data to:

  • Operate and maintain the platform

  • Display your profile publicly

  • Verify your identity or relationship status

  • Prevent fraud, deception, and fake profiles

  • Provide customer and account support

  • Send important service or verification updates

  • Improve platform functionality, security, and performance

We do not use your data for matchmaking, behavioural profiling, or algorithmic manipulation.

4. Payment Security

We do not store credit card or payment details.
All payments are processed by secure third-party providers (e.g., Stripe, PayPal) that meet PCI-DSS compliance standards.

5. Data Protection

We use industry-standard security measures, including:

  • SSL/HTTPS encryption

  • Secure servers with restricted access

  • Ongoing monitoring and internal safeguards

While we take reasonable steps to protect your data, no system is entirely secure.
You use the platform at your own risk.

6. Cookies & Tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies to:

  • Improve site functionality

  • Analyse performance and usage

We may share limited information only with:

  • Hosting providers

  • Technical and security partners

These partners may access data only as necessary to support the platform, under strict confidentiality obligations.

8. Data Retention & Account Cancellation

  • Public profiles are removed when you cancel your account

  • Past relationship records may remain stored privately to prevent fraud and maintain platform integrity

  • Verification documents may be deleted upon request unless required for fraud prevention or legal purposes

We retain only the information necessary for safety, consistency, and transparency.

9. Your Rights

You may request:

  • Access to your personal data

  • Corrections or updates

  • Deletion of certain personal information

We will respond within a reasonable timeframe.
Some data (such as verification evidence or history logs) may be retained when necessary for safety and abuse-prevention.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as the platform evolves or legal requirements change.
The “Last Updated” date reflects the newest version.
