Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your data while using My Next Friend. This is an MVP (Minimum Viable Product) and is not operated by a legal entity at this point. However, your data is treated seriously and securely.

1. What data we collect

2. Why we collect your data

We use your information to group participants into small online circles based on shared interests, age compatibility, and location. Your data also allows us to send you updates and personalized invites for meetings. We may follow up by email to ask for feedback, improve your experience, or invite you to similar future sessions.

3. How your data is stored

Your information is collected through the Fillout form embedded on our website and stored securely in Airtable. Only the project owner and authorized collaborators have access to it. We do not sell or share your data with third parties.

4. Sharing with other users

Your data will never be shared with other participants unless there is a mutual match and both parties explicitly consent to be introduced. In that case, we may share your preferred contact method (e.g. email) for the sole purpose of facilitating that connection.

5. Tracking and analytics

We may use tracking technologies such as Meta Pixel (Facebook & Instagram), TikTok Pixel, Google Analytics, and YouTube tags to better understand how users interact with our website, improve performance, and deliver more relevant advertising.

These tools may collect anonymized information such as your IP address, device type, browser version, and interaction with the site. Some data may be used for retargeting purposes — for example, to show you ads related to My Next Friend on other platforms.

These technologies are operated by third parties under their own privacy policies. You can control or block tracking cookies via your browser settings or privacy tools.

6. Legal basis

The legal basis for processing your data is your explicit consent (Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR). You can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us at the email below.

7. Your rights

You have the right to access, correct, or delete your data. You can request this at any time by contacting us at: hello@mynextfriend.com

8. Cookies

This site may use cookies to ensure basic functionality and for analytics/advertising purposes. You may see a cookie consent banner (e.g. via Cookiebot) to help you manage your choices.

9. Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated as the project evolves or transitions into a formal legal entity. We will update this page and the date accordingly.
