findmeIRL (“Findme”, “we”, “us”, or “our”)
Welcome to findmeIRL — a privacy-first social discovery mobile application and related services (collectively, the “App” or “Services”). The App enables individuals (“Personal Users”) to discover and connect with nearby people who share their interests while protecting exact location, and allows businesses and venue owners (“Business Users”) to create public profiles, publish updates, and engage with followers.
By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the App, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use the App.
These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Findme. Please read them carefully together with our Privacy Policy. Capitalized terms have the meanings defined herein or in the Privacy Policy.
You must be at least sixteen (16) years of age to use the App. By using the App, you represent and warrant that you are at least 16 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms. We do not knowingly permit individuals under 16 to create accounts or access the Services. Business accounts are subject to the same minimum age requirement.
The App provides a privacy-first platform for social discovery and venue engagement. Key features include:
The App offers non-transferable loyalty features such as in-app coins, badges, cosmetics, Discover boosts, coin tiers or earn multipliers, spend-to-unlock offers, gifting between accepted contacts, referrals and attendance-based bonuses, explorer milestones keyed to coarse map grids, combo-style celebration hooks, venue-level coin perks, optional city leaderboard placement when you expressly opt in, and similar mechanics described inside the UI. Coins and rewards have no intrinsic cash value unless required otherwise by mandatory law—cannot be redeemed for fiat absent an explicit approved program—and Findme may change, sunset, withhold, revoke, claw back balances, disqualify leaderboard participants, impose caps/throttles/cooldowns, or adjust earn rates anytime for balance, fairness, regulation, suspension, exploitation, refunds/chargebacks, or abuse reasons.
Optional premium plans are billed by Apple App Store or Google Play through interfaces they control subject to each platform’s standard terms. Receipt validation and entitlement mapping may leverage RevenueCat. Premium perks (including earn multipliers, Discover tie-breaking, cosmetics, and Wingman allowances—each as described in-product) depend on successful Store purchases and server sync; canceling through the storefront stops renewals, while active prepaid periods generally continue through the billing window per platform rules.
Business Users initiating optional pooled coin funding bundles open Stripe-hosted Checkout sessions; Stripe receives payment card data—not Findme’s mobile clients—and Findme records resulting entitlements/metadata needed to reconcile venue promotional balances per policy.
We use grid-based location obfuscation so that exact GPS coordinates of Personal Users are never shown to others. Business venue coordinates are intentionally public and controlled by the Venue Owner. Optional Profile Assistant prompts and Chat Wingman reply ideas only run when activated under Settings—they are illustrative conveniences—not professional advice—and you decide what is saved or sent.
Business Users may register one or more business profiles. By doing so, you represent that you have authority to list the Venue and that all information provided (including opening hours, coordinates, and post content) is accurate and lawful. Business profiles are linked to your personal profile; your business ownership status excludes you from personal-people discovery. You are responsible for keeping your listing approved and up to date. Unapproved or inaccurate listings may be removed or limited in visibility.
Your acceptance of these Terms and the Privacy Policy is recorded via a timestamp on your profile record. This record is required before full access to the App is granted (including after OAuth flows) and is used for compliance and audit purposes.
We may temporarily or permanently suspend a Personal User account (or pause a Business User’s Venue listing when required for safety, legal compliance, or repeated violations. Suspended or paused accounts have limited or no access to the App. Affected Users may appeal through the in-App support flow or by contacting us at the address below.
You are solely responsible for all Content you create, upload, post, or transmit through the App, including business posts, events, messages, and profile information. You retain ownership of your Content but grant Findme a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, store, display, reproduce, and distribute such Content solely as necessary to operate and improve the Services.
You agree not to:
Business Posts must comply with applicable advertising and consumer protection laws. Repeated or severe violations may trigger automated escalation review and can result in temporary or permanent suspension. We reserve the right to remove any Content, issue warnings, suspend accounts, or terminate access for violations, with or without prior notice.
Event group chats are created automatically and linked to events. The event host is granted administrator privileges and may remove members or issue bans. Banned Users cannot rejoin the chat. All participants must comply with chat rules; violations may result in removal or permanent ban.
All events created on the App must be open to all approved users and must comply with our non-discrimination policy. When creating an event, the host must confirm (via the in-App checkbox) that the event does not discriminate on the basis of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, disability, or any other protected characteristic. This attestation is recorded on the event record and is required before the event can be published. The same requirement applies to both Personal Users and Business Users who create events.
All images uploaded through the App (profile avatars, banners, gallery photos, event covers and memories, business logos, banners, and posts) are first staged in a private staging bucket and scanned by an automated AI system (Google Cloud Vision Safe Search) before being promoted to public storage. Content that fails the automated scan is blocked from publication.
In addition, user-submitted text content—including profile bios, business descriptions, custom hobby and interest tags, and business posts—is analyzed by an automated AI content moderation system. The system detects and may block or flag prohibited content such as hate speech, slurs, harassment, threats, explicit sexual material, violence, spam, scams, or other policy violations. Submissions or posts that fail these checks are rejected or require review. Users may appeal moderation decisions by contacting support. We also provide in-App reporting tools; repeated reports against the same subject may lead to escalation review and administrative action.
The App, its design, code, trademarks, and all original content and features are owned by Findme or its licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works without our prior written consent.
Your privacy is of paramount importance. Our collection, use, and sharing of personal information is governed by the Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. By using the App, you consent to such processing.
Users may optionally opt in to contribute anonymized aggregate data about venue visits. This data helps venue owners understand listing performance and is never linked to individual identities.
Leaderboards, referrals, coins, explorer stats, combo highlights, Stripe settlement metadata, Store receipts, Wingman usage logs, and similar economy records are processed per the Privacy Policy and in-product controls (for example toggles for Nearby discovery, AI assistants, anonymized venue metrics, and optional leaderboard participation).
THE APP AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.
We do not guarantee:
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Findme and its affiliates, officers, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages, including loss of profits, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or in connection with your use of (or inability to use) the App, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Findme and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to your use of the App, your Content, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any third-party rights.
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Switzerland, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the App shall first be attempted to be resolved informally. If not resolved within thirty (30) days, the dispute shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts in Basel, Switzerland.
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes via the App, push notification, or email. Your continued use of the App after the effective date of any update constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Findme concerning the App and supersede all prior agreements. If any provision is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
