MESH values the privacy of those who use our mobile application or website ("Site"), products and services and makes all commercially reasonable efforts to protect it. This privacy policy discloses the privacy practices of MESH ("MESH," "we," "our" or "us"), which owns and operates a mobile application and a website, mesh-app.co. Your access to and use of the services on the mobile application and/or the MESH website (collectively, "MESH Services") are subject to MESH Terms of Service and all applicable laws.

This privacy policy describes how and when MESH collects, uses, and shares information when you use MESH Services. MESH may receive your information through our mobile application, website, email notifications, or other interactions with MESH Services. When using any MESH Services you consent to the collection, transfer, manipulation, storage, disclosure or other uses of your information as described in this Privacy Policy. Regardless of which country you reside in or supply information from, you authorize MESH to use your information in the United States and any other country where MESH operates.

We value your comments about our privacy statement and invite you to e-mail us with inquiries, suggestions and complaints at: info@mesh-app.co. Please read the following to learn more about what information we collect, what we do with that information, and how we may use your personal information.

Information Collected.

How Information is Collected. To enhance your user experience and improve the MESH Services, MESH collects information about you from two sources: (i) information you affirmatively give to us; and (ii) information automatically collected when you use any MESH Services ("MESH"). Third parties may also collect your information in connection with your use of MESH Services unless a user refuses to consent to the disclosure of information to third parties.

Information You Affirmatively Give Us. In using MESH Services, you may provide us with personally identifiable information. This refers to information about you that can be used to contact or identify you, and information on your use of and activities at our mobile application and website that may be connected with you ("Personal Information"). Personal Information that we collect may include, but is not limited to, your name, email, birthday, gender, and password. Personal Information may also include information you supply to us concerning your preferences, geographic location, and interests expressed in the course of use MESH Services.

Information Automatically Collected. We also collect information about your visit from the browser or MESH application on your computer or mobile device including but not limited to the time and date you visit the MESH Services, your geographic location, IP address, device information, cookies and the pages you request — to analyze trends, administer the site, track your navigation of the site, deliver relevant advertisements and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use (note that IP addresses are not linked to "personally identifiable information"). Additionally, we collect aggregate information from multiple users without personally identifying individuals, such as geographic region, which we may share with our business partners — to improve understanding of customer needs and provide relevant services. By using MESH Services, you are giving MESH permission to use and store such information consistent with this privacy policy.

Creating a MESH Account and Profile Information. When you create a MESH account, you provide access credentials in the form of an email address and password. If you create your MESH account by connecting through another service, we may use public information from the connected account to help complete your MESH profile. You may update or modify your profile information and contact information at any time. Profile information is not publicly available on MESH Services.

Automatic Email Import. When you create a MESH account, you may associate your email accounts with the Service by providing us with log-in credentials for your email accounts. Once you have authorized us to do so by associating your accounts, we will use our automated technology to regularly review the contents of emails in your email accounts to look for travel and travel-rewards related emails, including those with information about recent bookings or reward-program statements. This information collected from your emails will be added to your MESH account so that you may automatically access this information on the Service and so that we may use this information for other purposes described in this privacy policy.

Import Contacts and Inviting Friends. MESH utilizes an import contacts feature to help you keep in touch with your contacts and other members of MESH. We make it easy for you to invite people from your email address books and contact lists to join our Service and connect with you on our Site or to help find people who have already joined our Service. We do this at your request, by importing your email address books and contact lists to our servers. You may also provide us with an individual friend’s email address so that we may send them an invitation to visit the Service.

Location Information. Besides profile information, you may also tell us your exact location if you enable your mobile device to send us location information. We may use and store information about your location to provide features of our Services.

With Whom Information is Shared

Public Information. MESH may share as it sees fit information that you voluntarily make public. Since such public information can be accessed by the public and used by any member of the public, such use by third parties is beyond the control of MESH. You may choose to display certain information you give us in your public profile.

When you use the Service, your personal information and your travel information will be shared with the third parties you designate for access to such information, including other companies, websites, mobile applications, your friends, relatives, and business associates. Depending upon the type of access you grant to such third parties, they may also be permitted to edit the information you have provided to us and to designate others to access and edit such information. You may change who has access to your information by going to your account settings and then changing your publishing options.

In general, most of your travel-related information, such as upcoming destinations and travel statistics, is displayed only to other users of the Service to whom you have specifically connected as part of your MESH network. You can change your privacy settings to designate which types of information are shared and with whom by visiting your profile and privacy pages. You may also post information about your travel plans or current travel status through your MESH connections or other social-networking connections or otherwise instruct the Service to automatically provide such information to other users of the Service and with your social-networking connections.

Personal Information. Subject to the paragraph that follows, if we have your express consent, MESH may share your personal information it collects with business partners and other third parties that are not affiliated with MESH. MESH will never share your personal information without your consent, unless compelled to do so by law.

Under narrow circumstances, MESH may disclose your personal information without asking for your consent to protect the legal rights of MESH or its affiliates, and each of their respective investors, directors, officers, employees, agents, and suppliers; to protect the safety and security of users of the MESH Services or to enforce our Terms of Services; to protect against fraud or for risk management purposes; or to comply with or respond to the law or legal process or a request for cooperation by a government entity, whether or not legally required. If you notify us you believe your legal rights have been violated by MESH or another user of MESH Services, we may provide the information you provide to us to others if we believe it is necessary to evaluate and respond to your complaint. For instance, if you submit a notice of copyright infringement to us, we may send a copy to the person or entity who uploaded, stored, or transmitted the material addressed by the communication.

Non-Personal Information and Aggregate Data

MESH may share with third parties your non-personal information and related aggregated data. For example, MESH may share IP addresses or general demographic information of its users to provide anonymous aggregated data to business partners about the volume of use on MESH Services and the specific MESH Services in which users are most interested. Because this form of data does not identify particular users, these third parties will not be able to contact you based solely on this data.

Change of Control

If MESH sells all or part of its business, makes a sale or transfer of assets, is otherwise involved in a merger or business transfer, or in the unlikely event of bankruptcy, MESH may transfer your personal information and non-personal information to one or more third parties as part of such transaction.

Regardless of your choices regarding promotional communications and updates regarding content, MESH may send you administrative messages, service announcements, terms and conditions of your account, or other similar communications, without offering you the opportunity to opt out of receiving them.
