Privacy

If you have an account

• What we store: your email address, a scrambled (hashed) password, the name, short bio, general area, interests, free times and photo you choose to add, the school stages your children are in (preschool, elementary or high school) if you tick them, your coffee invites, your messages, and the time you accepted the community guidelines.
• Before you have an account: when you ask to sign up we keep your email address and first name for up to 12 hours so the link we send you can work. If you do not use the link it is deleted, and no account is created.
• Who sees it: your name, photo, area, bio, interests, free times and children's school stages are shown to other logged-in members who have not blocked you. Your email address is only seen by you and the site admins. Your messages are only seen by you, the person you are writing to, and the site admins when handling a report.
• Photos: re-saved by us, which removes hidden details such as the location a photo was taken. They are only shown to logged-in members. Please use a photo of yourself only, with no children.
• Passwords: if you forget yours, you can reset it with a link we email you. An admin can also reset it for you.
• Deleting: you can delete your account any time from the password page. That removes your profile, photo, invites and messages.

If you used the "meet a parent" form

• We keep the name, the email address or phone number (at least one is required, so we can reach you), interests, free times, children's school stages and note you entered.
• Only the organizers who run Coffee With see them. They are shared with one other parent only when you are introduced, by email or phone.
• To have your details deleted, ask the organizer who gave you the link.

Cookies and tracking

One cookie keeps you logged in. There are no ads. We use Google Analytics to count visits and see which pages are used, so Google may set its own cookies and receive your IP address and the pages you view. We do not send Google your name, email address, bio or messages. Traffic also passes through Cloudflare, which handles security and delivery for the site.

Meeting in person

Use judgment: meet in a public place, tell someone where you are going, and block or report anyone who makes you uncomfortable. Reports go to the site admins.

Questions, feedback and deleting your account

Write to hello@coffeewithmi.com. We answer questions, take feedback and, if you ask, delete your account and everything with it. You can also delete your own account from Settings. Our community guidelines explain how we expect members to behave.
