InTheRoom ("InTheRoom", "we", "us", or "our") values your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have when using the InTheRoom platform.
By creating an account or using InTheRoom, you acknowledge that your information may be processed as described in this Privacy Policy.
Depending on how you use InTheRoom, we may collect or process the following information:
InTheRoom uses location information to provide location-based functionality. This may include determining whether you are within an allowed area for a room, allowing you to join location-based rooms, and maintaining geofencing functionality while you are participating in a room.
Location information may also be used to support security, prevent misuse of location-based features, and ensure that users are participating in rooms from the appropriate physical location.
You may need to provide location permission to use certain location-dependent features. If you disable location access, some InTheRoom features may not function correctly.
We use account and profile information to create and maintain your InTheRoom account, display your profile to other users where appropriate, provide communication features, support verification, and maintain platform security.
InTheRoom may allow users to submit identity information or documents for account verification.
Verification information may be used to confirm account authenticity, improve trust between users, reduce fraudulent activity, support platform safety, and prevent misuse of the service.
InTheRoom is designed around location-based rooms. When you join a room, information associated with your participation may be processed to provide the room experience and allow other users in that room to see appropriate profile information.
Room activity may also be used to enforce room restrictions, geofencing requirements, account limits, safety controls, and platform rules.
If you use InTheRoom messaging features, we process messages and images you send through the platform so that they can be delivered and displayed to the intended recipient.
Content may also be processed where reasonably necessary to investigate reports, enforce our Terms and Community Guidelines, prevent abuse, address security incidents, or protect users and the platform.
InTheRoom provides safety features such as blocking and other account controls. Information relating to these actions may be processed to enforce user preferences, protect users, investigate abuse, and maintain platform safety.
If you purchase an InTheRoom subscription, payment-related information may be processed by our payment service providers.
InTheRoom may receive information necessary to confirm and manage your subscription, such as payment status, subscription status, transaction references, and related account information. Payment card or other sensitive payment credentials may be handled directly by the applicable payment provider rather than being stored by InTheRoom.
Where notification functionality is enabled, InTheRoom may process the technical information required to deliver notifications to your device. Notifications may be used for relevant messages, account activity, and other platform-related events.
You can control notification permissions through your device or browser settings where supported.
We may process technical information such as session information, browser information, device-related information, IP-related information, and security events where reasonably necessary to operate, secure, troubleshoot, and protect InTheRoom.
InTheRoom may use third-party service providers to support functions such as hosting, payments, geolocation, maps, notifications, communications, infrastructure, and other platform functionality.
These providers may process information on our behalf or as necessary to provide their services. Where appropriate, their own privacy policies and terms may also apply.
We do not sell your personal information.
We may disclose information where reasonably necessary to operate and secure InTheRoom, provide requested services, work with service providers, respond to lawful requests, comply with legal obligations, investigate fraud or abuse, enforce our policies, or protect the rights, safety, and security of users and the platform.
You may request the deletion of your InTheRoom account and associated personal information, subject to applicable legal, security, fraud-prevention, and legitimate business requirements.
Some information may need to be retained for a limited period where required by law, necessary to resolve disputes, prevent fraud or abuse, maintain security, or establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures intended to protect personal information against unauthorized access, misuse, loss, alteration, or disclosure.
However, no online service can guarantee that information transmitted or stored electronically will be completely secure.
Depending on applicable law, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including requesting access to, correction of, or deletion of certain information, or objecting to or restricting certain processing.
We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as InTheRoom's features, technology, security practices, or legal obligations change.
The latest version will be made available through the InTheRoom platform.
