Usage Data: We collect information about how you interact with Velia (e.g., invites viewed, bookings made, messages sent) to improve the Service.
Location Data: With your permission, we access your device location to enable nearby filtering and in-person meetup coordination. We never store precise addresses—only generalized city/neighborhood data for display.

We do not sell your personal information. We may share data only in these limited circumstances:
Mycircle Visibility: When you add someone to your Mycircle, they gain access to invites you mark as "Mycircle Only." This is a user-controlled sharing preference, not a data sale.
Velia uses essential cookies to maintain your session and preferences. We do not use third-party advertising cookies. You may disable cookies in your browser settings, but some features may not function properly.
We retain your data as long as your account is active. You may delete your account anytime via Settings → Account Settings, which permanently removes your profile, messages, and invites. We may retain anonymized usage data for analytics. Backup systems may retain data for up to 90 days after deletion.
Depending on your location, you may have rights to:
To exercise these rights, contact [email protected]. We respond to verified requests within 30 days.
We implement technical and organizational measures to protect your data (e.g., encryption in transit, access controls). However, no internet transmission is 100% secure. You are responsible for safeguarding your Google account credentials.
Velia is not intended for users under 18. We do not knowingly collect data from minors. If we learn we have inadvertently collected such data, we will delete it promptly. Contact us if you believe a minor has used the Service.
Velia is operated from the United States. If you access the Service from outside the U.S., your data may be transferred to and processed in the U.S., where data protection laws may differ. By using Velia, you consent to this transfer.
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. We will notify users of material changes via in-app notice. Your continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
