Building a safe haven: how we protect your home address
How PokerMeet uses strict access controls and approved address release to protect host location privacy.

When games are organized in group chats, host addresses can spread fast and stay searchable forever.
PokerMeet is designed to prevent that by default.
Strict access controls in the data layer
Our systems enforce strict row-level access controls so address data is not broadly queryable. Access is limited to the specific users and conditions required by product rules.
Approved address release
Players see the general area first. After a host approves a seat, the exact address is released before game time.
Panic Hide support
If a host uses Panic Hide, address visibility is removed immediately for non-host users.
Privacy first, not optional
Address protection is not a preference toggle. It is a core safety requirement in how PokerMeet works.
You focus on running a great table. We focus on keeping location privacy locked down.

Players see the general area first. Exact addresses go only to approved players before game time.
PokerMeet is a coordination-only platform for home poker games. It does not handle payments, rake, or payouts.
