1.2 Information Automatically Collected: In Short: We automatically collect certain information about your mobile device and your use of the Application.

We automatically collect certain information when you use or navigate the Services. This information doesn’t reveal your specific identity (like your name or contact information) but may include device and usage information, such as your IP address, device characteristics, operating system, language preferences, device name, country, location, and other technical information. This data is primarily needed to maintain the security and operation of our Services and for our internal analytics and reporting.

Depending on how you interact with us, this log data may include your IP address, device information, operating system, and information about your activity in the Services (like date/time stamps, features used, searches, and actions you take), as well as device event information (like system activity, error reports, and hardware settings).
Mobile Device Data: We collect information about your mobile device, such as its ID, model, manufacturer, operating system, version information, and system configuration. This also includes your device’s browser type and version, hardware model, Internet service provider and/or mobile carrier, and Internet Protocol (IP) address. We may also collect information about the phone network associated with your mobile device, your mobile device’s unique device ID, and information about the features of our Application you accessed.
Location Data: We collect information about your device’s location, which can be precise (e.g., GPS coordinates) or imprecise (e.g., IP address-based location).

2. HOW DO WE USE YOUR INFORMATION?

In Short: We process your information based on legitimate business interests, to fulfill our contract with you, comply with legal obligations, and/or with your consent.

We use personal information collected via our Services for various business purposes described below. We process your personal information for these purposes relying on our legitimate business interests, to enter into or perform a contract with you, with your consent, and/or to comply with our legal obligations. We indicate the specific processing grounds we rely on next to each purpose listed below.

We use the information we collect or receive:

To facilitate account creation and logon process: If you link your account with us to a third-party account (like your Google or Facebook account), we use the information you allowed us to collect from those third parties to facilitate account creation and the logon process for the performance of the contract. See the section below headed “HOW DO WE HANDLE YOUR SOCIAL LOGINS” for more information.
To request feedback: We may use your information to request feedback and to contact you about your use of our Services, particularly after events or recommendations.

To protect our Services: We use your information as part of our efforts to keep our Services safe and secure (for example, for fraud monitoring and prevention).
To enforce our terms, conditions, and policies: For business purposes, to comply with legal and regulatory requirements, or in connection with our contract.
To respond to legal requests and prevent harm: If we receive a subpoena or other legal request, we may need to inspect the data we hold to determine how to respond.
To fulfill and manage your orders: We use your information to fulfill and manage your orders, payments, returns, and exchanges made through the Services (e.g., if premium features are introduced).

To send you marketing and promotional communications: We and/or our third-party marketing partners may use the personal information you send to us for our marketing purposes, if this is in accordance with your marketing preferences. For example, when you express interest in obtaining information about us or our Services, subscribe to marketing, or otherwise contact us, we’ll collect personal information from you. You can opt out of our marketing emails at any time (see “WHAT ARE YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS” below).
To deliver targeted advertising to you: We use your information to develop and display personalized content and advertising (and work with third parties who do so) tailored to your interests and/or location, and to measure its effectiveness. This includes personalization for our integrated ad platform, allowing us to suggest local businesses and services most relevant to your inferred preferences and planning needs.
For other business purposes, including data analysis and product improvement: We use your information for other business purposes, such as data analysis, identifying usage trends, determining the effectiveness of our promotional campaigns, and to evaluate and improve our Services, products, marketing, and your experience. This includes using data from AI interactions, planning sessions, venue selections, and user feedback (as detailed in Section 3). We may use and store this information in aggregated and anonymized form so that it’s not associated with individual end users and doesn’t include personal information. We will not use identifiable personal information for these purposes without your explicit consent.

3. HOW DO WE USE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE?

In Short: MESA leverages AI and machine learning to understand your needs, generate personalized recommendations, facilitate conversations, and continuously improve our services.

MESA utilizes Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning technologies to power core features of the Services, such as understanding natural language queries, generating event and venue suggestions, and adapting recommendations based on your preferences and feedback. Here’s how AI is used and how it relates to your data:

3.1 Input Data for AI Processing: When you interact with our AI features (e.g., typing “I want to plan a dinner in Vegas tomorrow for 5” or providing your dietary needs and interests), your textual input, alongside your profile preferences (dietary preferences, allergies, interests), location data, and other context (date, time, guest count), is sent to our AI models. This input is processed to understand your request, manage the conversation flow, and generate relevant AI Content.

3.2 AI Processing and Content Generation:

Intent Recognition & Entity Extraction: Our AI models process your natural language input to identify your intent (e.g., planning a meal, finding a venue) and extract key entities (e.g., location, date, time, number of guests, cuisine type).
Recommendation Generation: The AI leverages this extracted information, combined with data from third-party APIs (as described in Section 4) and its internal knowledge base, to generate personalized venue recommendations, activity suggestions, and itinerary drafts.
Conversational Flow: The AI maintains conversation context to ask relevant follow-up questions, refine recommendations iteratively, and guide you through the “Who, When, Where” planning phases.
Output: The AI generates conversational text responses, structured data for visual outputs (e.g., venue thumbnails, addresses, details), and potentially “Add to Calendar” links or invite suggestions.

3.3 Data for AI Training and Service Improvement: Your interactions with the AI are vital for MESA’s continuous improvement. We use various forms of data for AI training and product enhancement:

Interaction Data: Your specific queries, the AI’s generated responses, your selections (e.g., which venues you “like” or “save”), and explicit feedback (e.g., venue ratings, guest preferences after an event) may be logged and associated with your user ID for internal analysis and troubleshooting.
Anonymized & Aggregated Training Data: To train and fine-tune our core AI models, we primarily use aggregated and anonymized data from AI interactions. This data is stripped of personally identifiable information where possible before being used for model training or refinement. This helps improve the performance, accuracy, relevance, and safety of our AI models over time without directly linking raw individual interactions to model training.
Product Improvement: Data analysis (including usage trends and effectiveness of features) is performed on aggregated data to evaluate and improve the overall Services, products, marketing, and your experience.

3.4 Data Security for AI Interactions: We employ robust security measures, as detailed in the “HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?” section, to protect the data exchanged with our AI systems. Your queries and personal preferences are processed in secure environments.

3.5 Limitations of AI: While powerful, MESA’s AI models are not infallible. The AI Content generated by MESA is for informational and planning purposes only and should not replace your judgment, professional advice, or due diligence. Always exercise caution and common sense when acting upon AI Content. AI models can reflect biases present in their training data, may generate outputs that are unexpected, or might occasionally provide inaccurate, incomplete, or nonsensical information. MESA does not warrant that AI Content will be free from errors, biases, or offensive material.

4. HOW DO WE USE THIRD-PARTY APIS AND DATA?

In Short: We integrate with various third-party services to power MESA’s recommendations and planning tools. Data is shared with these services as necessary for functionality.

The Application’s core functionality relies on integrating with and querying various third-party Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and services to provide comprehensive recommendations and information. These include, but are not limited to:

Google Maps Platform (including Places API, Geocoding API, Directions API): For location search, venue discovery, mapping, geographical data, and traffic estimates. We send location queries and receive venue details.
Foursquare API: For venue data, categories, tips, and location-based insights. We send venue search criteria and receive venue details.
Eventbrite API: For event discovery, details, and ticketing information. We send event search criteria and receive event listings.
TripAdvisor API: For user reviews, ratings, and travel-related insights regarding venues. We send venue identifiers and receive review data.
Google Gemini API: For advanced AI conversational capabilities, natural language understanding, intent recognition, and generative text generation. We send your natural language queries and preferences, and receive conversational AI responses.
Other Potential APIs (e.g., Yelp, OpenTable, Resy, Uber, Lyft, Calendly, Google Calendar, Outlook Calendar, email service providers, SMS providers): For extended functionalities like reservations, transportation, and scheduling. We send relevant planning data (e.g., event time, location, participant contact info for invites) and receive confirmation or booking details.

4.1 Acknowledgment of Third-Party Terms: You acknowledge and agree that Your use of the Application and the services it provides is also subject to the respective terms and conditions, privacy policies, and acceptable use policies of these third-party API providers. MESA is not responsible for the content, accuracy, availability, or practices of these third-party services. You are solely responsible for reviewing and complying with any applicable third-party terms.

4.2 Data Sharing with Third Parties: You consent to MESA sharing Your anonymized, aggregated, or necessary non-personally identifiable information with these third-party API providers as required to facilitate the functionality of the Application (e.g., sending location data to Google Places API to get venue recommendations; sending event details to Eventbrite if you use their integration). MESA will endeavor to share only the minimum necessary data required for the service.

4.3 API Key Management: API keys for these services are securely managed by MESA on its backend (e.g., using Google Cloud Secret Manager) and are not exposed directly to the End-User.

5. HOW DO WE HANDLE ADVERTISING AND PERSONALIZATION?

In Short: We use data to personalize your app experience, including advertising, and may integrate with third-party ad platforms.

5.1 General Advertising: We may use third-party advertising partners, including Google AdMob, to serve advertisements within the Application. These partners may collect and use information about your activity in the Application and other websites/apps over time to provide ads tailored to your interests. Their data collection and use are governed by their own privacy policies.

5.2 Personalized Suggestions & Integrated Ad Platform: To provide You with the best possible experience and relevant recommendations, we use the information we collect (including your planning inputs, preferences, location data, and interactions with AI) to personalize content and suggestions within the Application. This personalization extends to and will include:

Local Business Suggestions: Tailoring recommendations for local businesses, venues, and services based on your expressed preferences, planning history, and real-time context.
Integrated Ad Platform: We plan to roll out an integrated advertising platform that will feature local businesses. Data collected through your interactions and preferences (in aggregated and non-personally identifiable forms, where feasible) will be used to target and personalize these ads. The goal is to show you ads for businesses and services that are genuinely relevant to your meal and event planning needs within your local area.

5.3 Opting Out: You may have options to control personalized advertising through your device settings or directly with third-party ad providers. More details may be provided in our Cookie Notice or directly through in-app settings as ad features roll out.

6. HOW DO WE HANDLE SOCIAL NETWORKING FEATURES?

In Short: We facilitate user-to-user interaction and content sharing, with a focus on your control and community safety.

The Application includes robust social networking features that allow You to:

Discover & Connect: Find and connect with other users of the Application (e.g., sending/accepting connection requests).
Manage Contacts: Organize and save contacts, including tagging them with dietary preferences, allergies, and other interests for group planning.
Group Planning: Collaborate on meal and event plans with invited guests, whether they are app users or non-app users (via text/email invites).
Content Sharing: Create, submit, post, display, and share Contributions related to your planning, events, or general interactions.

6.1 Your Responsibility for Shared Content & Interactions: You are solely responsible for Your interactions with other users and for the content You choose to share via social networking features. Any Contributions you transmit may be treated as non-confidential and non-proprietary (unless specifically designated as private within the Application). MESA is not responsible for the conduct of any user or for the content they post.

6.2 Community Guidelines & Moderation: You agree to adhere to MESA’s Community Guidelines (which may be provided separately or within the app) when using social features. These guidelines promote a respectful, inclusive, and safe environment. MESA reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to monitor, screen, edit, redact, re-categorize, or delete any Contributions at any time and for any reason, without notice, if they violate our Community Guidelines or these Terms.

6.3 Privacy Settings & Controls: MESA aims to provide You with control over Your privacy on social features. You can manage certain privacy settings within the Application, such as:

Visibility of your profile information to other users.
Who can send you connection requests or invites.
Permissions for sharing event details. Please review your in-app settings regularly to understand and adjust your privacy preferences.

6.4 Reporting Misconduct: MESA provides mechanisms for reporting inappropriate content, harassment, or other violations of our Community Guidelines or Terms. We reserve the right to investigate reports and take appropriate action in our sole discretion, which may include suspension or termination of user accounts.

7. WILL YOUR INFORMATION BE SHARED WITH ANYONE?

In Short: We only share information with your consent, to comply with laws, to provide you with services, to protect your rights, or to fulfill business obligations.

We may process or share your data that we hold based on the following legal basis:

Consent: We may process your data if you’ve given us specific consent to use your personal information for a specific purpose (e.g., opting into marketing communications).
Legitimate Interests: We may process your data when it’s reasonably necessary to achieve our legitimate business interests (e.g., fraud prevention, improving our services, marketing activities where permitted).
Performance of a Contract: If we’ve entered into a contract with you, we may process your personal information to fulfill the terms of our contract (e.g., providing AI recommendations, managing your account).
Legal Obligations: We may disclose your information where we’re legally required to do so to comply with applicable law, governmental requests, a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process, such as in response to a court order or a subpoena (including in response to public authorities to meet national security or law enforcement requirements).
Vital Interests: We may disclose your information where we believe it’s necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding potential violations of our policies, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person and illegal activities, or as evidence in litigation in which we’re involved.

More specifically, we may need to process your data or share your personal information in the following situations:

Business Transfers: We may share or transfer your information in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business to another company.
Affiliates: We may share your information with our affiliates (Meal Social Inc.’s parent company and any subsidiaries, joint venture partners, or other companies that we control or that are under common control with us), in which case we’ll require those affiliates to honor this Privacy Policy.
Service Providers: We may share your data with third-party vendors, service providers, contractors, or agents who perform services for us or on our behalf and require access to such information to do that work (e.g., payment processing, data analysis, email delivery, hosting services, customer service, marketing assistance, cloud functions, AI model hosting). We have contracts in place with our service providers designed to help protect your personal information.
Offer Wall: Our Application may display a third-party hosted “offer wall.” Such an offer wall allows third-party advertisers to offer virtual currency, gifts, or other items to users in return for accepting and completing an advertisement offer. Such an offer wall may appear in our Application and be displayed to you based on certain data, like your geographic area or demographic information. When you click on an offer wall, you’ll be brought to an external website belonging to other persons and will leave our Application. A unique identifier, such as your user ID, may be shared with the offer wall provider to prevent fraud and properly credit your account with the relevant reward. Please note that we don’t control third-party websites and have no responsibility for their content. The inclusion of a link to a third-party website doesn’t imply our endorsement of that website. Accordingly, we don’t make any warranty regarding such third-party websites and won’t be liable for any loss or damage caused by their use. In addition, when you access any third-party website, please understand that your rights while accessing and using those websites will be governed by their privacy notice and terms of service.

8. DO WE USE COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES?

In Short: We may use tracking technologies within the Application and related services to collect and store information.

We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to access or store information, primarily within the Application and related web services. Specific information about how we use such technologies and how you can refuse certain cookies is set out in our Cookie Notice (if applicable, or will be provided separately).

9. HOW DO WE HANDLE YOUR SOCIAL LOGINS?

In Short: If you choose to register or log in to our services using a social media account, we may access certain information about you.

Our Services offer you the ability to register and log in using your third-party social media account details (like your Google or Facebook logins). If you choose to do this, we’ll receive certain profile information about you from your social media provider. The profile information we receive may vary depending on the social media provider concerned, but will often include your name, email address, friends list, profile picture, as well as other information you choose to make public on that social media platform.

We’ll use the information we receive only for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or that are otherwise made clear to you within the Application. Please note that we don’t control, and aren’t responsible for, other uses of your personal information by your third-party social media provider. We recommend you review their privacy notice to understand how they collect, use, and share your personal information, and how you can set your privacy preferences on their sites and apps.

10. WHAT IS OUR STANCE ON THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES AND SERVICES?

In Short: We are not responsible for the safety of any information you share with third-party providers who advertise within or link from our Application.

The Services may contain advertisements from third parties that are not affiliated with us and which may link to other websites, online services, or mobile applications. We cannot guarantee the safety and privacy of data you provide to any third parties. Any data collected by third parties is not covered by this Privacy Policy. We are not responsible for the content or privacy and security practices and policies of any third parties, including other websites, services, or applications that may be linked to or from the Services. You should review the policies of such third parties and contact them directly to respond to your questions.

11. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?

In Short: We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy unless otherwise required by law.

We’ll only keep your personal information for as long as it’s necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements). No purpose in this notice will require us to keep your personal information for longer than the period of time in which users have an an active account with us.

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we’ll either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this isn’t possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we’ll securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

12. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?

In Short: We aim to protect your personal information through a system of organizational and technical security measures.

We’ve implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Although we’ll do our best to protect your personal information, transmitting personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk. You should only access the Services within a secure environment.

13. WHAT ARE YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS?

In Short: You may review, change, or terminate your account at any time.

If you are a resident in the European Economic Area (EEA) or Switzerland and you believe we are unlawfully processing your personal information, you also have the right to complain to your local data protection supervisory authority. You can find their contact details here: http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/bodies/authorities/index_en.html. For Switzerland: https://www.edoeb.admin.ch/edoeb/en/home.html.

If you have questions or comments about your privacy rights, you may email us at privacy@mealsocial.com.

Account Information: If you would at any time like to review or change the information in your account or terminate your account, you can:

Upon your request to terminate your account, we’ll deactivate or delete your account and information from our active databases. However, we may retain some information in our files to prevent fraud, troubleshoot problems, assist with any investigations, enforce our Terms of Use, and/or comply with applicable legal requirements.

Opting out of Application features / notifications: You can unsubscribe from our marketing email list at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe link in the emails that we send or by contacting us using the details provided below. You’ll then be removed from the marketing email list — however, we may still communicate with you, for example, to send you service-related emails that are necessary for the administration and use of your account, to respond to service requests, or for other non-marketing purposes. To otherwise opt-out of specific Application features or push notifications, you may:

Access your account settings within the Application and update your preferences.
Adjust your device’s settings for the MESA Social Planner Mobile Application.
Contact us using the contact information provided.

14. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES

Most mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online activities monitored and collected. At this stage no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this Privacy Policy.

15. DO CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS HAVE SPECIFIC PRIVACY RIGHTS?

In Short: Yes, if you are a resident of California, you are granted specific rights regarding access to your personal information under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

California Civil Code Section 1798.83, also known as the “Shine The Light” law, permits our users who are California residents to request and obtain from us, once a year and free of charge, information about categories of personal information (if any) we disclosed to third parties for direct marketing purposes and the names and addresses of all third parties with which we shared personal information in the immediately preceding calendar year. If you are a California resident and would like to make such a request, please submit your request in writing to us using the contact information provided below.

If you are under 18 years of age, reside in California, and have a registered account with the Service, you have the right to request removal of unwanted data that you publicly post on the Services. To request removal of such data, please contact us using the contact information provided below, and include the email address associated with your account and a statement that you reside in California. We will make sure the data is not publicly displayed on the Services, but please be aware that the data may not be completely or comprehensively removed from all our systems (e.g., backups, etc.).
