Meetaverse, Inc. Privacy Policy
Last Updated: May 23, 2023
Protecting your privacy is important to Meetaverse. With this in mind, we’re providing this Privacy Policy to explain our practices regarding the collection, use and disclosure of Personal Information that we receive through the Meetaverse Services. When we say “Personal Information” we mean information that relates to you and can – either on its own or in combination with other information – identify you as an individual. Personal information does not include data that has been de-identified or aggregated such that you can no longer be identified.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to any third-party websites, services or applications, even if they are accessible through the Meetaverse Services. Also, please note that, unless we define a term in this Privacy Policy, all capitalized terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings as in our Terms of Use (“TOU”).
Information We Collect or Receive
Account Information. If you create an Account, we will collect certain Personal Information such as your name, user type (e.g., planner, venue, caterer, etc.) email address, postal address and phone number directly from you or from other Account holders in connection with an Event, as indicated in the TOU.
Event Organizer Account Creation. When you create an account as or on behalf of a business (e.g., an event organizer) we collect information about you and/or your business including the business or organization name, and your name, email address and/or website. You may also choose to provide us with information about your colleagues, such as names, contact information, and responsibilities. You should only provide such information with permission from your colleagues.
If you use our Services on behalf of an organization (e.g., an event organizer), any information you provide to us will be governed by the agreement between the organization and us, in addition to this Privacy Policy.
Information about your Event. You or a third party you work with may provide us with information about an Event. This information may contain Personal Information about invitees, attendees and Vendors. You should only provide such information with permission from those invitees, attendees, and Vendors.
Payment Information. We and our third-party service providers may collect and process your financial and payment card information in order to facilitate a transaction that you request.
Communications with Us. We may collect Personal Information from you such as email address, phone number, and mailing address when you request information about the Meetaverse Services, request customer or technical support, or otherwise communicate with us.
Interactive Features. We may offer interactive features such as audio and/or video conferencing services, chat services, forums, and social media pages. We may collect the information you submit or make available through these features. Any content you provide on the public sections of these channels will be considered “public” and will not be subject to the privacy protections referenced herein.
Surveys. We may contact you to participate in surveys. If you decide to participate, you may be asked to provide certain information which may include Personal Information.
Conferences and Trade Shows. We may attend conferences and trade shows where we collect Personal Information from individuals who interact with or express an interest in Meetaverse. If you provide us with any information at one of these events, we will use it for the purposes for which it was collected.
Information We Collect Automatically. We may collect certain information automatically when you use the Meetaverse Services. This information may include your Internet protocol (IP) address, user settings, IMEI, MAC address, cookie identifiers, mobile carrier, mobile advertising and other unique identifiers, details about your browser, operating system or device, location information, Internet service provider, pages that you visit before, during and after using the Meetaverse Services, information about the links you click, and other information about how you use the Meetaverse Services. Information we collect may be associated with accounts and other devices.
Information from Other Sources. We may obtain information about you from other sources, including through third-party applications and services to supplement information provided by you. This supplemental information allows us to verify information that you have provided to Meetaverse and to enhance our ability to provide the Meetaverse Services.
How We Use Your Information
We process Personal Information about Individuals for a variety of business purposes, including:
Cookies, Pixel Tags/Web Beacons and Analytics Information
We, as well as third parties that provide content or other functionality on the Meetaverse Services, may use cookies, pixel tags, local storage, and other technologies (“Technologies”) to automatically collect information through the Meetaverse Services. Technologies are essentially small data files placed on your computer, tablet, mobile phone, or other devices that allow us to record certain pieces of information whenever you visit or interact with our Site and the Meetaverse Services.

Our uses of such Technologies fall into the following general categories:
Information that We Share with Third Parties
We may share your information as described in this Privacy Policy:
Information Shared with Your Organization. If you use our Services on behalf of an organization (e.g., an event organizer), that organization may: (i) access information associated with your use of the Services including usage and other data (e.g., who has accessed, shared, amended, created, edited, or deleted content), and the contents of the communications and files associated with your account; and (ii) control and administer your account, including controlling privacy-related settings (e.g., profile settings including choices relating to displaying a profile image).
Information Shared with Other Account Holders. As a collaborative event planning platform, Event information is shared between Account holders (i.e., registered Users) and other Users who are invited to the same Event. For example, as a Host, if you invite another User to your Event page on the Meetaverse Services, that User will see the Event specific information you have provided to describe your Event, including the event date, number of guests, venue, furniture layout, food preferences, guest list, and other information you choose to make available. With respect to floorplan information you provide to the Meetaverse Services, if you specify that the floorplan is a private residence the label or title you give the floorplan will only be known to you and those that you invite to your Event page. In addition, if you register as a vendor, your information will be available to other Users in a searchable directory. If you join an Event, any Host, Vendor or other User associated with that Event will be able to see that you are connected to that Event. The information you provide about your Event is voluntary. We recommend that you guard your sensitive information and we encourage Users to think carefully about what information about themselves they disclose on their Event pages.
In addition, as a Host, you may choose to contact a Vendor through the Meetaverse Services using our subscription feature. If you click on a “Contact Vendor” link within the Meetaverse Services, the applicable Vendor will receive your contact information (including name, phone number and email address) and information regarding your Event (such as date, event type, location, venue and number of guests). We are not responsible for any consequences of any use or disclosure of your information by such Vendors and you assume all risk arising from such information sharing and your interaction with such Vendors.
Information Shared with Our Services Providers. We may engage third-party service providers to work with us to administer and provide the Meetaverse Services.
For example, we may share your Personal Information and other information related to your payment methods with our third-party payment processing service providers in order to process payment of any fees associated with the subscription feature, if applicable. We may also engage service provider(s) that host and provide audio and/or video conferencing capabilities, and those service providers will have access to Personal Information and other information about you, including your image and/or voice if you use those aspects of the Services.
We may also use third party APIs as part of the functionality of the Meetaverse Services. APIs may allow third parties to collect your Personal Information to provide content that is more relevant to you. For more information about our use of APIs, please contact us as set forth below.
Business Partners. We may provide Personal Information to business partners to provide you with a product or service you have requested. We may also provide Personal Information to business partners with whom we jointly offer products or services.
Information Shared with Third Parties. We may share de-identified or aggregated data we collect from the use of the Meetaverse Services, such as de-identified demographic information, de-identified location information, information about the computer or device from which you access the Meetaverse Services, market trends and other analysis that we create based on the information we receive with third parties.
Information Disclosed in Connection with Business Transactions. If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing due diligence, reorganization, bankruptcy, receivership, purchase or sale of assets, or transition of service to another provider, then your information may be sold or transferred as part of such a transaction as permitted by law and/or contract.
Information Disclosed for Our Protection and the Protection of Others. We cooperate with government and law enforcement officials or private parties to enforce and comply with the law. We may disclose any information about you to government or law enforcement officials or private parties as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate: (i) to respond to claims, legal process (including subpoenas); (ii) to protect our property, rights and safety and the property, rights and safety of a third party or the public in general; and (iii) to stop any activity that we consider illegal, unethical or legally actionable.
