  • Profile information — name, age, photos, and any optional details you choose to add.
  • Encounter data — anonymised records of proximity events (when you and another user were in the same area).
  • Messages — sent between matched users, stored encrypted.
  • Device information — platform (iOS/Android), app version, and anonymous crash reports.

Children and minors

Who Are You is strictly intended for users aged 18 and over.

We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. During account registration, users must confirm they are 18 or older. If we become aware that a minor has created an account, we will immediately delete their data and suspend the account.

If you believe a minor is using the service, please report it immediately at privacy@stackwhere.com or use the in-app report function. We take this seriously and will act within 24 hours.

User safety — reports and blocks

Who Are You provides tools to keep the community safe:

  • Report a user — available from any encounter card or chat. You can report for: harassment, inappropriate content, fake profile, spam, suspected minor, or other reasons.
  • Block a user — immediately removes them from your encounters, matches, and chat. They will not be able to see you or interact with you.

Reports are reviewed by our team. Users with 3 or more open reports are automatically hidden from the platform pending review. We reserve the right to permanently suspend accounts that violate our Terms of Service.

To report an urgent safety concern outside the app, contact safety@stackwhere.com.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the service evolves. If changes are material, we will notify waitlist members by email. The date at the top of this page always reflects the latest version.
