Our guiding principle is to collect only the minimum information necessary to provide and improve our Service, and to be transparent about our practices. We never sell your data.

1. What This Policy Covers

This Privacy Policy covers our treatment of "Personal Data," which is any information that identifies or relates to a particular individual. This policy applies to our handling of Personal Data as the data controller (e.g., when you create an account) and as a data processor (e.g., when we process your meetings).
