Your Privacy Matters
Alcoholics Anonymous World Services, Inc. prioritizes your privacy. When using the Meeting Guide app, you have control over your location data.
Location Sharing Options:
- Share Your Location: If you choose to share your location, the app will use your geographic coordinates to display a list of meetings in your vicinity while you are actively using the app. This feature allows for quick and convenient discovery of nearby meetings.
- Manual Location Search: If you prefer not to share your location, you can manually enter a location in the search bar. The app will then provide a list of meetings near the location you entered. This option gives you full control over your location data while still benefiting from the meeting search functionality.
You can easily manage your location sharing preferences at any time through your device settings. For iOS users, this can be done by navigating to Settings > Privacy > Location.

This data is anonymized and used solely to enhance the app’s performance and user experience. Importantly, the Meeting Guide app does not include any ad-tracking, ensuring your privacy is respected.
