Last Updated: October 8, 2026

Welcome to alcheMeets (“we,” “us,” or “our”). We offer curated, in-person dating and friendship events and individual relationship coaching in the Greater Rochester, New York area. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal information you share with us.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit www.alchemeets.com, complete our connection and compatibility questionnaires, register for events, participate in relationship coaching, or communicate with us.

1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

Because our quizzes, events, and coaching services may involve personal information, we collect and handle that information with care. We gather this data in the following ways:

A. Information You Provide to Us Voluntarily

Identity & Onboarding Data: Full name, date of birth, gender, sexual orientation, relationship history and preferences, and personality information.
Connection Preferences and Personal Information: Information you provide through our quizzes and questionnaires, including relationship goals, interests, values, lifestyle, occupation, religious beliefs, and preferences for dating or friendship connections. Our questionnaires also include open-ended questions where you may voluntarily share additional information, including political views or other personal beliefs.
Payment Information: Information necessary to process payments for events and individual relationship coaching. Payments are processed securely through third-party payment providers.
Coaching & Assessment Data: Notes, questionnaires, and lifestyle assessments generated during in-person coaching sessions.
Event Photography: We may take photographs at our in-person events for use on the alcheMeets website or social media. We use event photographs only with the explicit consent of the individuals involved, obtained at each event. We aim to use non-identifying images and do not require members to submit profile photographs.

B. Information Collected Automatically

Device & Usage Data: IP address, browser type, operating system, and data regarding how you navigate our website or interact with our digital coaching platforms.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies: We use cookies and similar technologies to support website functionality, understand how visitors interact with our website, and measure the effectiveness of our advertising. Our website uses Meta Pixel and may use Meta's Conversions API to share certain website interaction data with Meta for advertising measurement and optimization. Visitors can manage their preferences for nonessential tracking through our cookie consent banner.

2. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

We use the information we collect to provide our services, operate and improve our business, communicate with clients and prospective clients, and measure the effectiveness of our advertising, including::

Creating and managing your confidential client profile.
Reviewing questionnaire responses to help curate event invitations and create opportunities for meaningful connections.
Delivering tailored coaching.
Managing registrations, ticketing, and check-ins for our in-person events.
Complying with our legal obligations under New York state law.

3. HOW WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION

We do not sell or rent the personal information you provide through our questionnaires or coaching services to third-party data brokers. We may disclose certain information to service providers and advertising technology partners as described below. Depending on applicable privacy laws, some advertising-related disclosures may be considered a sale or sharing of personal information.

Advertising and Analytics Partners: We use Meta Pixel and may use Meta's Conversions API to measure website activity and evaluate our advertising campaigns on Facebook and Instagram. Depending on the configuration and visitors' consent preferences, these tools may transmit information such as website interactions, device identifiers, and other technical data to Meta. We do not intentionally provide questionnaire responses or confidential coaching information to Meta for advertising purposes.

Third-Party Service Providers: We share necessary data with trusted vendors who perform services on our behalf, including secure payment processors
Legal Obligations: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, court order, or a government request (such as an investigation by the New York Attorney General).
Authorized Event Personnel: We share limited registration data (such as client first names and check-in statuses) with our contracted event hosts and venue coordinators. Any outside event personnel given access to attendee information will be required to sign confidentiality agreements.

4. DATA SECURITY & NEW YORK SHIELD ACT COMPLIANCE

In accordance with the New York SHIELD Act, we maintain rigorous administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your private information against unauthorized access, accidental loss, alteration, or disclosure.

Our Safeguards: We utilize industry-standard data encryption for sensitive files (such as ID uploads), restrict internal data access to essential staff only, and perform regular security assessments.
Ongoing Security Monitoring: alcheMeets participates in a cybersecurity monitoring program through our cyber insurance provider, Coalition. This program monitors our online security exposure, identifies potential vulnerabilities, and provides recommendations for addressing identified security risks.
Inherent Risks: While we take exceptional care to protect your data, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. By using our service, you acknowledge that you provide your sensitive information at your own risk.

5. YOUR PRIVACY CHOICES & RIGHTS

You retain control over your data. Depending on your relationship with us, you may exercise the following rights:

Access & Review: You have the right to request a summary of the personal details we have stored about you.
Correction: You may update or correct inaccurate details in your account information, questionnaire responses, or coaching information by contacting us.
Account Deletion: You may request that we permanently delete your profile and purge your sensitive records from our active databases, subject to any legal or financial accounting retention requirements
