Privacy Pledge
1. Your Exact Location is Never Shared or Seen by Friends except for one exception
Ami never shares your exact location with your Ami friends unless you both happen to be in the same exact venue or place. People may be able to see your general location (city level), unless you disable this feature in Settings. When you’re in the same venue as another Ami user who you share a mutual Ami friend with, the mutual friend does not see any location information whatsoever, they only see that you’re together.
2. Your Data is Encrypted End-to-End
All of your data is encrypted and protected every step of the way, including account details, contact data, and location history by using industry-standard encryption
3. Always-On Location powers Your Serendipity
Your Always-On GPS location is required for Ami’s core feature: helping you discover and connect with people nearby through trusted mutual friends.
4. Serendipity via Location-Always
Ami uses your device’s location in real-time to let mutual friends know when a new potential-friend is nearby. These are those magical moments that were often missed the past — Ami makes them possible using your mobile-phone’s always-on location capabilities.
5. Your Contacts are Safe with Us
Your contact database is used as a base to build out your Ami network and friend list. You will be able to see who is already on Ami, and those who are not on Ami along with how many people they already know on Ami. Ami will NEVER send messages or invites to users in your phone book without permission. We will never ask for permission to do that either, all friend requests to new people are initiated by you. Phone numbers and emails are cryptographically hashed in our system at all times, making them unreadable and protecting them at all times.
6. Your Data is used Exclusively to Power your Experience
Your personal data is used to power Ami’s location and matching algorithms and determine the people you should meet and places where your potential serendipity can be found.
7. Your Data is Never Shared or for Sale
Ami is building a new social-network based on relationships, trust, and location. We do not sell your personal data to third-parties for advertising or marketing.
8. You’re Always in Control
You have the power to review, update, or delete your personal information at any time. We fully comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations, you can request the removal of your data or ask us to provide a copy of the data we hold about you.
9. Data Retention Policies
We store your data exclusively to power your personal Ami experience. If you request an account deletion, we will remove all of your data.
10. You Will Always be Informed of Privacy Policy Changes
We are committed to being transparent with our data and privacy practices. Any changes to this pledge or our overall Privacy Policy will be communicated clearly in the app, giving you the opportunity to always stay on top of changes and updates.
