Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 20, 2026
1. Information we collect
We collect the information you give us directly — name, username, email, password, meeting URLs you submit, and messages you send — plus optional identifiers (phone, LinkedIn) you choose to add to your profile.
2. How we use it
- To match you with other attendees of meetings you submit
- To operate messaging and connections between members
- To send account, verification, and notification emails
- To generate AI-assisted compatibility reports, Flock Reports, and network search results from profile information (see section 4)
- To maintain and improve the service
3. What we share
We don't sell your personal information. Your name and username are visible to members you're connected to. Beyond that, we never reveal your contact information — email, phone, or anything else you haven't chosen to display — to another member within the application. The only way another member learns how to reach you beyond your name and username is if you choose to tell them yourself — in chat — or if you choose to add it to your profile; that choice, and its consequences, are entirely yours. Extra identifiers you add (email, phone, LinkedIn) are used only to match you to your own account unless you choose to display them on your profile — they aren't otherwise shown to other members.
4. AI processing and the providers we use
Several features work by giving the profile information you write about yourself to AI models: compatibility reports between you and a connection, Flock Reports about a room you're in, network search, and the importer that turns a résumé or bio you upload into suggested profile entries.
What that means in practice:
- What is sent: the attributes on your profile — what you're looking for, what you can offer, what you've done, your interests, and so on. Not your email, phone number, password, or private messages.
- Who it goes to: two providers today. DigitalOcean, through their serverless AI inference service, runs the language model that writes report text — DigitalOcean already hosts FlockUnlock itself, so this is the same company that already holds your account data rather than a new one. TypeSafe AI classifies and scores profile content, and checks AI-written text before it is shown to anyone. That is the complete list, and we will update it here before adding a provider.
- What they don't do with it: we don't permit our AI providers to use your information to train their models, and we don't sell it or share it for advertising.
- Second-degree search: if another member searches beyond their own connections, your profile attributes may be given to an AI model on their behalf even though you and that member aren't connected. The result they see is only your name and which of their connections links them to you — never your profile text. You can switch this off entirely in your settings, and doing so removes you from those searches.
- It isn't verified: AI output describes what members have said about themselves. It can be wrong or incomplete. See section 5.
FlockUnlock is a beta product and these features are still changing. If you'd rather your profile weren't processed this way at all, contact us and we'll tell you what's possible for your account.
5. We can't verify what other members tell you
We have no way to verify claims that members make in their profiles or in chat. We trust each member to complete their profile and communicate truthfully and honestly, but we can't guarantee they will. It's up to each participant to use their own best judgment before revealing their identity or anything else about themselves to other participants.
6. Data retention
We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. You can request deletion of your account and associated data at any time.
7. Security
Passwords are hashed, not stored in plain text. We use reasonable technical measures to protect your data, but no system is 100% secure.
8. Your choices
You can update your name and identifiers, or remove identifiers, at any time from your profile. You can switch off second-degree discoverability from your settings. You can request a copy or deletion of your data by contacting us.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. We'll post the updated version here with a new "last updated" date.
