Privacy Policy

App Name: Meet My Friend Within

Effective Date: June 20, 2026

Meet My Friend Within (“we,” “us,” “our,” “MMF”) provides this app and the website at meetmyfriendwithin.org (together, the “Service”) to support our mission of education, farmer support, and community fundraising. This Service is provided free of charge.

This page explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices regarding that information. By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy. We do not sell or share your personal information except as described here.

1. Information We Collect

Information You Provide Directly

If you use a contact form, comment form, or donation/fundraising form on our Service, we may collect:

  • Your name
  • Your email address
  • Any message or details you voluntarily submit
  • Payment or donation-related information, if applicable, processed securely through our donation/payment provider (we do not store full payment card details ourselves)

We use this information only to respond to you, process your request or donation, and improve the Service.

Information Collected Automatically

We use Google Analytics to understand how the Service is used. This may include:

  • IP address (typically anonymized)
  • Device and browser type
  • Pages viewed and time spent
  • General location at the city/region level (derived from IP address)
  • Referring site or app

You can learn more or opt out via the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on and Google’s Privacy Policy.

Log Data

As with most apps, in the event of an error, standard log data may be collected automatically — such as device type, operating system version, and the date/time of use. This is used solely for diagnosing and fixing technical issues.

What We Do Not Collect

This app does not request access to your precise location, files/documents on your device, contacts, camera, or microphone, and does not track in-app search history beyond standard website analytics described above.

2. Cookies

Our website uses cookies, primarily through Google Analytics, as described above. You can disable cookies through your browser settings, though some features may not work as intended if you do.

3. Third-Party Service Providers

We may use third-party services to help operate the Service, including:

  • Google Analytics — usage analytics
  • Payment/donation processors — to securely handle donations and fundraising contributions

These providers only access the information necessary to perform their function and are not permitted to use it for any other purpose.

4. Advertising

We do not display third-party advertisements within this app or on meetmyfriendwithin.org.

5. Data Sharing & Disclosure

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We may disclose information if required by law, to protect our legal rights, or to protect the safety of our users or the public.

6. Security

We use commercially reasonable measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Links to Other Sites

The Service may contain links to external websites (e.g., partner organizations, donation platforms). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third-party sites, and encourage you to review their policies separately.

8. Children’s Privacy

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. We encourage parents and guardians to monitor their children’s use of the Service. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it. Use of the Service requires you to be at least 16 years of age, or to have parental/guardian consent where required by local law.

9. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal information, and to opt out of analytics tracking (see Section 1). Contact us using the information below to exercise these rights.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Changes will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

11. Contact Us

If you have questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy, please contact us through the contact form at meetmyfriendwithin.org.

This policy applies to both the Meet My Friend Within Android app and the meetmyfriendwithin.org website.
