How privacy works in Gatherpin

Understand optional accounts, temporary location sharing, friend features, and the controls available inside the app.

Quick answer

Gatherpin does not require an account or phone number. Location is shared only during a meetup, can be turned off, and is not stored as a location history.

Gatherpin 1.1.0 on Android, captured on 22 September 2026. Controls may move slightly as the app improves.
