Privacy at a Glance
Anonymous by default — your identity is not shared unless you choose to reveal it.
Venue-level presence only — no dots, distances, or trails.
Activity appears only when enough people are present and is shown in ranges, not exact counts.
We verify real people behind the scenes without using government ID for general users.
We do not sell personal data.
Our Privacy Principles
Dipity is built on a small set of core privacy principles:
Privacy by default. We collect only what is necessary to operate the Services.
Anonymous-first. Other users do not see your name, photos, or identifying details unless you explicitly choose to reveal them.
Venue-level visibility only. We do not show precise location, distances, or movement trails.
Consent-driven interactions. Connections and identity reveal require mutual opt-in.
No data sales. We do not sell personal information to advertisers or data brokers.
Information We Collect
Information You Provide
We may collect information you voluntarily provide, including:
Contact information such as name and email address when you join the waitlist or contact us.
Phone number if provided for verification or security purposes.
Support communications and any information you include in messages or forms.
Location Information
Dipity may temporarily access precise location information from your device in order to:
Determine whether you are present at or near a supported venue.
Display your own position on the map interface.
Your precise GPS location:
Is not shared with other users.
Is not displayed as a trail or history.
Is not shown publicly.
Other users see only aggregated, venue-level activity when minimum crowd thresholds are met.
Usage and Technical Information
We may collect limited technical and usage data, including:
Device type, operating system, browser type.
IP address and general network information.
Interaction patterns used for security, abuse prevention, and system integrity.
Information We Do Not Collect
We do not require or collect:
Government-issued identification for general users.
Exact location trails or movement history for public display.
Personal data for advertising or resale.
How We Use Your Information
We use information we collect to:
Operate, maintain, and improve the Services.
Enable real-world discovery while preserving anonymity.
Verify that users are real people and reduce spam, bots, and abusive behavior.
Communicate with you about updates, launches, and support requests.
Enforce our terms and protect the safety of users and venues.
Comply with applicable legal obligations.
Anonymity, Aggregation, and Map Privacy
Dipity is designed to prevent the identification or tracking of individuals:
Presence is displayed only at the venue or area level, never as exact coordinates.
Activity is shown only when a minimum number of people are present.
Counts are displayed in ranges, not exact numbers.
Updates may be smoothed or delayed to prevent inference attacks.
Presence expires automatically when you leave a venue or choose to go invisible.
Your identity is revealed to another user only after mutual consent.
Verification and Abuse Prevention
Dipity uses behind-the-scenes verification and behavioral safeguards to ensure users are real people and to reduce abuse. These measures may include:
Phone and email verification.
Rate limiting and spam detection.
Behavioral pattern analysis.
We do not use government ID verification for general users. Additional verification may be required in limited circumstances related to safety, enforcement, or legal obligations.
Sharing of Information
We do not sell personal information.
We may share limited information only in the following cases:
Service providers who assist us with hosting, analytics, communications, or security, under confidentiality obligations.
Legal requirements when required by law, regulation, or legal process.
Safety and enforcement to investigate or address violations, abuse, or harm.
Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to:
Provide the Services.
Support safety and enforcement.
Meet legal and regulatory requirements.
Some data, such as venue presence, may expire automatically as part of normal operation.
Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to protect information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
