Privacy Policy

At InReach, your privacy is important to us. In this privacy policy, we tell you what information we collect, share with others, and how we use it to advance our mission to increase access to safe, verified resources for the diverse LGBTQ+ community. 

Last updated on: October 1, 2023

InReach (“InReach,” “we,” “our,” and/or “us”) values the privacy of individuals who use our websites, apps, and other online products and services (collectively, the “Service”). This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use and disclosure of personal data when you use our Service and the choices you have associated with that data. We use your data to provide and improve the Service. By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

At InReach, we recognize that preserving online anonymity is a life-or-death issue for many LGBTQ+ people. That’s why the free InReach App (our web app, native iOS app, and native Android app) are designed to prioritize protecting users’ safety and confidentiality online. 

PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION INFORMATION 

We do not require any personally identifiable information to use the free InReach App. No personally identifiable information is collected about you, unless you explicitly submit that information on this website.

InReach uses Google Analytics to anonymously analyze and track App usage data (e.g., user searches and other behavior) in the aggregate. Google Analytics is GDPR compliant and does not collect any personally identifiable information and anonymizes all data collected. Users cannot be identified and are never tracked across websites.

InReach also uses Vercel Analytics to analyze web vitals and performance. Vercel Analytics provides site usage information without being tied to, or associated with, any individual visitor or IP address. The recording of data points is anonymous and the Analytics feature does not collect or store information that would enable Vercel to reconstruct a browsing session across pages or identify a user.

We may use your Personal Data to contact you with newsletters, marketing or promotional materials and other information that may be of interest to you. You may opt out of receiving any, or all, of these communications from us by following the unsubscribe link or the instructions provided in any email we send.

We may collect non-personal identification information about Users whenever they interact with our Site. Non-personal identification information may include the browser name, the type of computer and technical information about Users’ means of connection to our Site, such as the operating system and the Internet service providers utilized and other similar information.

TRACKING COOKIES DATA

Cookies used for analytics by Google Analytics help collect data that allows services to understand how users interact with a particular service. These insights allow services both to improve content and to build better features that improve the user’s experience.

SECURITY OF DATA

The security of your data is important to us but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.
