Terms of use

1. What YAARON is

YAARON helps people post and join casual, platonic plans — food, coffee, a walk, a movie — with others nearby. It is not a dating service, and using it to seek romantic or sexual contact is against these terms.

2. Your account

• You must provide a real name, a working email, and a real phone number, and confirm your email with the code we send.
• You're responsible for keeping your password private and for activity on your account.
• You must be at least 18 years old to use YAARON.
• One account per person. Impersonating someone else, or creating a fake profile, is not allowed and may lead to removal.

3. Selfie check and the "Verified" badge

Before you can request to join a plan or accept someone into one you've posted, we require a selfie on your profile. This is a lightweight check, reviewed by our team, meant to reduce fake accounts — it is not an identity verification service and does not guarantee any user's real identity. A "Verified" badge means our team has manually reviewed and approved your selfie; its absence does not by itself indicate anything is wrong with an account.

4. Location and safety

Your precise location is only shared with another user once you've both agreed to meet (an "accepted" plan), and only for a limited window around that meetup. See our Safety page for guidance on meeting people from the app — YAARON does not supervise meetups and cannot guarantee any user's conduct.

5. Content you post

• You're responsible for what you post — plan descriptions, photos, bio, chat messages.
• No harassment, hate speech, threats, illegal content, spam, or content sexualizing minors — accounts posting this will be removed and may be reported to authorities.
• Don't post other people's photos or personal information without their consent.
• We may remove content or accounts that violate these terms, at our discretion.

6. Group chat

Group chat unlocks between a plan's creator and the people they've accepted. Messages are visible to everyone in that group, and to our admin team, who can review chat messages and match history for safety, moderation, and to investigate reports. Chats are not end-to-end encrypted. Be respectful — the same conduct rules in section 5 apply.

7. Data we collect

We collect the account details you provide (name, email, phone, bio, interests, selfie), the plans and messages you post, and location data when you use location features. We use this to run the app — matching, chat, safety review — and don't sell it to third parties. A fuller privacy policy will be published as the app grows; for now, treat this section as our current practice.

8. Disclaimer

YAARON is provided "as is." We do our best to keep the app safe and working, but we don't guarantee it will be error-free, uninterrupted, or that any user is who they claim to be. You use YAARON, and any plans you make through it, at your own risk.

9. Changes

We may update these terms as the app changes. Continuing to use YAARON after an update means you accept the revised terms.
