Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to WeeConnect (“WeeConnect”, “we”, “our”, or “us”). We operate the weeconnect.app website and the WeeConnect mobile application. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, store, and protect your information when you access or use our services.

WeeConnect is designed around the core principle of “Everything U need, Is around U”. We are committed to maintaining the privacy and trust of every neighbor in our community.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information to deliver and enhance our hyperlocal community experience:

• Location Data: Because WeeConnect is a hyperlocal platform, we require access to your geographic location (either through device GPS coordinates or user-specified neighborhood boundaries) to display posts, needs, and workers within your designated radius.
• Account Information: When you register an account, we may collect your name, email address, profile photo, and password credentials.
• User Content & Posts: Content you voluntarily publish, including community need posts, comments, photos, descriptions, and tags.
• WorkConnect Profile Data: If you register as a worker on WorkConnect, we collect details regarding your skills, service descriptions, and availability.
• Direct In-App Messages: Communications sent between you and other neighbors to coordinate local requests. Messages are stored securely to allow delivery and conversation history.
• Device & Usage Information: Technical data such as device type, operating system version, app logs, and performance diagnostics to maintain application reliability.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for the following specific purposes:

• To provide, operate, and maintain the WeeConnect hyperlocal feed;
• To accurately filter posts, requests, and WorkConnect listings based on geographic proximity;
• To enable secure in-app messaging and user notifications;
• To enforce our Safety & Community Guidelines and detect fraudulent or malicious behavior;
• To provide customer support and troubleshoot technical issues;
• To improve application features and user experience.

4. Sharing of Information

We do not sell, rent, or monetize your personal information to third-party data brokers or advertisers. Information is shared only in the following contexts:

• Public Neighborhood Feed: Content you post publicly (such as requests or community announcements) is visible to other users located within your active neighborhood radius.
• Direct Communications: Messages you send to another user are shared directly with that recipient.
• Service Providers: We may share data with vetted third-party service providers (such as hosting providers and cloud database infrastructure) strictly under confidentiality agreements to operate the service.
• Legal Requirements: If required by law, subpoena, or urgent safety necessity to protect human safety and community security.

5. Data Retention & Security

We implement industry-standard administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. We retain your information as long as your account remains active or as necessary to comply with legal obligations.

6. Your Rights and Choices

You have full control over your data within WeeConnect:

• Location Access: You can modify or revoke device location permissions at any time via your device settings.
• Profile Updates: You can edit or delete your account information and posts at any time in the app.
• Account Deletion: You may request permanent deletion of your account and associated data by emailing our privacy team.
