Privacy policy

Information we collect:

• User-Provided Content. Our service is built on user-generated content. We collect, store, and display the content that users submit. For more details, refer to our terms of use.
• User Interactions. We use Plausible Analytics to gather insights on how users interact with our service. Plausible does not collect or store any personal information, and the analytics are publicly available here: https://plausible.io/melme.io
• Technical Information. For example, when an unregistered user submits content, we temporarily store their IP address for 20 minutes as an anti-spam measure. If the user is authenticated, we store their email instead. This prevents abuse by limiting the number of posts/listings an unregistered user can submit within a 20-minute window.

Why We Collect This Information:

• Service Provision. To enable the sharing of events, photos, and other content within the community, as well as for user authentication and email communication.
• Usage Insights. To better understand how our service is being used, identify which features are helpful, and remove redundant ones.
• User Protection. To defend users and our platform against malicious activities, including spam and DoS/DDoS attacks, with the help of services like Cloudflare.
