Location and Meetup Safety Policy

Location use

Location permission is optional. Dog Meetup uses device location to sort nearby Republic of Ireland parks and improve local recommendations. Users can deny permission and choose a park manually.

Dog Meetup stores the selected park for matching. Dog Meetup does not store live GPS history.

Public meetup guidance

• Meet only in public parks or public dog-friendly places.
• Follow local council rules, lead requirements, restricted areas, and posted park signs.
• Keep dogs under effectual control and use leads where required or sensible.
• Leave immediately if a dog, owner, or situation feels unsafe.

Owner responsibility

Dog Meetup helps coordinate introductions. Owners remain responsible for their dog, their own safety, local law compliance, travel, insurance needs, and decisions to attend or leave.
