Alles über Blasen
Von der ersten Begrüßung bis zu den verbleibenden Freundschaften: So funktioniert jede Phase einer Hopen-Bubble.
Eine Bubble ist eine kleine, temporäre Gruppe von 2 bis 5 Personen. Alle teilen sich den gleichen Gruppenchat, sodass jede Person genügend Raum hat, gesehen zu werden, zu sprechen und echte Verbindungen aufzubauen.
Mit der kostenlosen Version von Hopen kannst du jeweils einer aktiven Bubble angehören. Mit Hopen Go kannst du gleichzeitig Teil von bis zu 5 aktiven Bubbles sein. Jede Bubble bleibt ein kleiner Kreis aus 2 bis 5 Personen, der echte Gespräche und bedeutungsvolle Verbindungen fördert.
Sie können über den Bubble-Globus mit jemandem eine Bubble starten, eine Einladung annehmen oder eine Beitrittsanfrage stellen. Sie dürfen sich nicht bereits in einer Bubble befinden und die Bubble muss Platz haben. Jedes bestehende Mitglied muss einem Neuzugang einstimmig zustimmen.
Eine neue Bubble beginnt mit einem 90-Tage-Countdown. Ein neues Mitglied fügt zum ersten Mal 30 Tage hinzu, der Countdown kann jedoch niemals 90 Tage überschreiten. Eine Bubble hat außerdem eine feste Lebensdauerbegrenzung von 180 Tagen ab ihrer Entstehung, sodass sie durch Mitgliederänderungen nicht für immer bestehen bleiben kann.
Die Bubble ist voll. Einladungen und Beitrittsanfragen sind nicht mehr verfügbar und es gibt keine öffentliche Warteliste. Bevor eine andere berechtigte Person berücksichtigt werden kann, muss ein Platz frei werden.
Ja. Durch das Verlassen ändert sich der Countdown nicht. Bleiben weniger als 2 aktive Mitglieder übrig, löst sich die Bubble sofort auf und die verbleibenden Mitgliedschaften enden.
Ja, aber jedes stimmberechtigte Mitglied außer der betroffenen Person muss zustimmen. Die Entfernungsabstimmung ist deaktiviert, wenn nur noch 2 Personen übrig sind. Ein entferntes Mitglied wird aus dieser Bubble ausgeschlossen, es sei denn, ein Administrator hebt die Sperre später auf.
Die Bubble läuft ab und es werden automatisch Freundschaftsoptionen zwischen ehemaligen Mitgliedern erstellt, die noch nicht befreundet sind. Jede Wahl ist privat und erfolgt paarweise: Beide Menschen müssen sich füreinander entscheiden, um Freunde zu werden. Wenn eine der beiden Personen ablehnt, kehrt sie zu keiner Beziehung zurück.
Eine Bubble löst sich auf, wenn weniger als 2 aktive Mitglieder übrig bleiben. Es werden keine Freundschaftsentscheidungen getroffen. Die vorübergehende Bubble-Verbindung verschwindet und jedes ehemalige Paar kehrt einfach zu der Beziehung zurück, die es vor der Bubble hatte, normalerweise befreundet oder nicht.
Ein Kontakt ist ein privates, einseitiges Lesezeichen: Durch das Hinzufügen einer Person wird keine Anfrage oder Benachrichtigung gesendet und Ihre Beziehung wird nicht geändert. Ein Freund ist eine gegenseitige Verbindung, die nur dann entstehen kann, wenn sich beide Menschen nach Ablauf einer Bubble füreinander entscheiden.
Nein. Sie können auf Hopen keine Freundschaftsanfrage manuell senden. Freundschaftsauswahlmöglichkeiten werden nur dann automatisch generiert, wenn eine Bubble das Ende ihres Countdowns erreicht.
Nein. Ihre genaue Position bleibt verborgen. Der Globus verwendet einen ungenauen Blasenanker und aktualisiert eine gespeicherte Position erst nach einer erheblichen Bewegung von mehr als 100 km. Eine Bubble ist an ihrem am längsten aktiven Mitglied verankert, ohne dass jemandes Live-GPS gestreamt werden muss.
Eine Person kann keine Bubble starten, ihr beitreten oder in eine Bubble eingeladen werden, wenn sie und ein bestehendes Mitglied sich gegenseitig blockiert haben. Diese Prüfung gilt in beide Richtungen, bevor die Anfrage bearbeitet werden kann.
Entdecke echte Freundschaft neu.
Soziale Netzwerke verbinden uns mit Tausenden von Menschen, und doch waren wir noch nie so allein. Zwischen Gruppenchats mit mehr als 50 Personen, in denen niemand wirklich spricht, und der Oberflächlichkeit von Tausenden von „Followern“ und Likes leiden wir alle unter einem Mangel an echten Begegnungen. Hopen gibt dir die Kraft zurück, tiefe und dauerhafte Freundschaften aufzubauen.
Hopen schafft vergängliche Bubbles mit 2 bis 5 Personen. Lebe 90 Tage lang ganz im Moment. Indem wir die Gruppengröße begrenzen, erzwingen wir echte und tiefe Interaktion. Wir garantieren, dass deine Bubble zu einem echten Kokon der Vertrautheit wird, denn niemand kann ihr ohne einstimmige Abstimmung beitreten.
Jede Bubble hat eine Lebensdauer von 90 Tagen. Diese Dringlichkeit verleiht der Interaktion einen exklusiven Charakter. Du erlebst die Bubble voll und ganz, weil du weißt, dass sie ein Ende hat.
Hopen definiert soziale Verbundenheit neu und bietet mit 54 verfügbaren Sprachen und mehr als 7 Milliarden potenziellen Nutzerinnen und Nutzern, die ihre Muttersprache sprechen, eine beispiellose sprachliche Zugänglichkeit. Ob du neue Kulturen entdecken oder mit deinen Liebsten in Kontakt bleiben möchtest – Hopen spricht deine Sprache, im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes.
Hopen verfügt über eine einzigartige 3D-Schnittstelle namens Bubble globe. Erkunde die Welt und entdecke Bubbles von Menschen in deiner Nähe oder auf der ganzen Welt. Dieses immersive Erlebnis verändert, wie du deine Bubble findest und dich mit ihr verbindest, und macht soziale Entdeckungen intuitiver.
Im Gegensatz zu Apps, die dich auf den Meter genau verfolgen, verwischt unsere Karte deinen Standort und aktualisiert sich nur in 100-km-Sprüngen. Am ältesten Mitglied verankert schafft sie ein Gefühl geografischer Zugehörigkeit, ohne deine Sicherheit und Privatsphäre zu gefährden. Du kannst Bubbles in aller Ruhe suchen und ihnen beitreten.
Wir bereiten eine neue Funktion vor, die die Art und Weise, wie wir miteinander kommunizieren, revolutionieren und die Distanz zwischen den Menschen verringern wird. Freue dich auf eine noch nie dagewesene Ankündigung.
Fragen zu Partnerschaften, Presse, Community oder Investoren – sende uns eine Nachricht und wir melden uns bei dir.

This Policy explains how Hopen Technologies Inc. (Hopen, we, us or our), a company incorporated in Québec, Canada, handles personal information when you use the Hopen application, hopenapp.com and related services (the Services).
This Policy applies to the Services and to people who contact us about them. It does not apply to third-party services governed by their own privacy policies.
Hopen Technologies Inc. is responsible for the processing described here. Contact our Privacy Officer at privacy@hopenapp.com. EEA, UK and Swiss users may contact dpo@hopenapp.com.
We collect only the categories reasonably needed to operate, protect and improve the Services.
We use personal information for the following purposes and do not reuse it for an incompatible purpose without notice and, where required, consent.
Where the GDPR, UK GDPR or similar law applies, we use the legal basis appropriate to each activity.
hopenapp.com stores a first-party language cookie named hopen_locale for up to one year so the site remembers your choice.
The website uses Cloudflare Web Analytics to measure traffic and performance. Cloudflare explains its processing at https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/.
You can control cookies and permissions through your browser or device settings. Blocking the language cookie may cause the site to forget your selected language.
We process content and related technical information to deliver the features you choose and to address safety, security and legal concerns. Content may be visible to the audience you select and may be copied or reshared by recipients.
You must have the necessary rights and permissions for content you upload. To report a moderation or intellectual-property concern, contact legals@hopenapp.com.
Contact discovery and device-location features are optional and require the relevant device permission. You can revoke permission in device settings; this stops future collection through that permission but does not undo earlier processing.
We do not sell personal information, share it for cross-context behavioural advertising or display third-party advertising. We disclose information only as described below.
We keep personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy. Retention depends on the information, the feature, security needs and legal obligations.
When account deletion is completed, information controlled by Hopen is removed from active systems. Residual copies are ordinarily overwritten in backups within 90 days. Content previously shared with other users may remain in their possession or in a conversation where continued display is technically necessary.
We may retain limited information for longer when required by law or reasonably necessary for fraud prevention, security, accounting, dispute resolution or legal claims. Raw IP addresses collected through website waitlist and contact forms are scheduled for deletion within 90 days.
You must be at least 13 to use Hopen. A higher age or verified parental authorization may be required where local law applies. The Services are not directed to children below the applicable age.
If we learn that personal information was collected from a child who could not lawfully provide it, we will take reasonable steps to delete it. A parent or guardian may contact privacy@hopenapp.com.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or obtain a copy of personal information; restrict or object to processing; withdraw consent; appeal a decision; or complain to a regulator.
Email privacy@hopenapp.com and describe the right you wish to exercise. We may request information reasonably necessary to verify identity and authority, and we respond within the period required by applicable law.
We use administrative, technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information in light of its nature and the risks involved. No system is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Protect your credentials and contact contact@hopenapp.com if you believe your account or information has been compromised. We notify affected people and regulators of a personal-data breach when applicable law requires it.
Hopen is based in Canada and uses providers that may process information in other countries. Those countries may have different data-protection laws.
Where required, we use an approved transfer mechanism, such as an adequacy decision or standard contractual clauses, and safeguards appropriate to the risk. Contact privacy@hopenapp.com for information relevant to you.
EEA, UK and Swiss users may exercise the rights in Section 11 and complain to their local data-protection authority. Contact dpo@hopenapp.com.
The Privacy Officer of Hopen Technologies Inc. oversees privacy compliance in Québec and Canada. Contact privacy@hopenapp.com.
California residents may request to know, access, correct or delete covered personal information. Hopen does not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioural advertising.
Residents of other regions may have additional rights under local law. Contact privacy@hopenapp.com and we will apply the law that governs your request.
Where processing depends on consent, we ask for a clear choice through the relevant feature or device permission. You may later withdraw that consent through the same feature, your device settings or by contacting privacy@hopenapp.com.
Withdrawal does not affect processing that was lawful before it and may prevent a feature that needs the information from working.
Request deletion through an available in-app account control or by emailing contact@hopenapp.com. After verification, Hopen removes account information and content from active systems and ordinarily overwrites residual backups within 90 days, subject to the exceptions in Section 9.
Messages or content already received, retained or reshared by another user may remain available to that user. If temporary deactivation is offered, your information remains stored until you reactivate or request deletion.
We may update this Policy to reflect changes to the Services, our practices or the law. We will update the date above and provide additional notice when a change materially affects your rights and applicable law requires notice.

These Terms apply to all users globally. Where your country of residence grants you additional or different rights under local law, those rights are preserved. Jurisdiction-specific provisions appear throughout this document and in Section 14.
Hopen is provided by Hopen Technologies Inc., a company incorporated in Québec, Canada. These Terms govern your use of the Hopen application, hopenapp.com and related services.
You must be at least 13 to use the Services. A higher age or verified parental authorization may be required where local law applies.
Users who are above the applicable minimum age but under 18 (or the age of legal majority in their jurisdiction) may only use the Services with the verified consent of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to be bound by these Terms on the minor's behalf. By allowing a minor to use the Services, the parent or legal guardian accepts full responsibility for the minor's use.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from users below the applicable minimum age. If we become aware that such a user has provided us with personal information, we will promptly delete their account and all associated data. If you believe a child below the applicable minimum age has provided us with personal information, please contact us at: contact@hopenapp.com.
By creating an account or using the Services, you agree to these Terms and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. If you use the Services for an organization, you confirm that you can bind it.
If you do not agree, do not use the Services. Mandatory rights that cannot lawfully be waived remain unaffected.
We may amend these Terms from time to time — for instance, when we update functionality, combine apps or services, or when there are regulatory changes. For material changes, we will provide at least 30 days' advance notice via email to the address associated with your account and/or a prominent in-app notification, except where applicable law requires a different notice period. We will also update the "Last Updated" date at the top of these Terms.
Your continued use of the Services after the effective date of any updated Terms constitutes your acceptance of those Terms. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the Services and may delete your account before the effective date.
If you are an EEA or UK resident, we will not rely on your continued use alone as consent to changes that materially affect your rights. We will seek your explicit agreement where required by applicable law.
Provide accurate information, protect your credentials and notify contact@hopenapp.com promptly about suspected unauthorized access.
You may request account deletion through an available in-app control or by contacting contact@hopenapp.com. Personal information is then handled as described in the Privacy Policy.
Your access to and use of the Services is subject to these Terms and all applicable laws and regulations. You may not:
We reserve the right, at any time and without prior notice, to remove or disable access to content for any reason, including content we determine to be objectionable, in violation of these Terms, or harmful to users or the Services.
Automated Processing
Our automated systems may analyze your content to provide features such as customized results, spam detection, and malware detection. This analysis occurs as content is sent, received, and stored. Where required by applicable law (including the GDPR), you have the right to object to certain automated processing of your personal data. Please see our Privacy Policy for further details.
The Services and Hopen materials, excluding user content, are owned by or licensed to Hopen and protected by intellectual-property law.
To report alleged infringement, email legals@hopenapp.com with enough information to identify the protected work, the material, your contact details and the basis for your claim.
You retain ownership of content you submit and confirm that you have the rights and permissions needed to submit it.
You grant Hopen a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, adapt, display and transmit your content only as reasonably necessary to operate, secure, improve and provide the Services you use. Contracted providers may perform those functions for Hopen.
The license ends when your content is deleted from active systems, except where limited continued processing is needed for backups, legal obligations, safety, dispute resolution or content another user retained or reshared. Hopen does not acquire ownership of your content.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Hopen, its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, and advisors from any and all claims, liabilities, costs, and expenses, including attorneys' fees, arising out of or related to: (a) your breach of these Terms; (b) your User Content; (c) your use of the Services; or (d) your violation of any law or the rights of a third party.
In some jurisdictions (including the EEA and UK), indemnity clauses may be subject to consumer protection limitations. Nothing in this section is intended to override rights you have under applicable mandatory consumer protection law.
Nothing in these Terms shall affect any statutory rights that you cannot contractually agree to alter or waive and are legally always entitled to as a consumer under your local law.
The Services are provided "as is" and we make no warranty or representation to you with respect to them. In particular we do not represent or warrant that: (i) your use of the Services will meet your requirements; (ii) use will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or free from error; (iii) any information obtained through the Services will be accurate or reliable; or (iv) defects in the operation or functionality of any software will be corrected.
We may change, suspend, withdraw, or restrict the availability of all or any part of our Platform for business and operational reasons at any time without notice.
Nothing in these Terms shall exclude or limit our liability for losses which may not be lawfully excluded or limited by applicable law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.
Subject to the above, we shall not be liable to you for: (i) any loss of profit; (ii) any loss of goodwill; (iii) any loss of opportunity; (iv) any loss of data; or (v) any indirect or consequential losses. Any other loss will be limited to the amount paid by you to Hopen within the last 12 months.
We only provide our Platform for domestic and private use. You agree not to use our Platform for any commercial or business purposes, and we have no liability to you for loss of profit, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.
You are responsible for any mobile or data charges that may apply to your use of the Service.
EEA & UK users: Nothing in this section limits your rights under the EU Consumer Rights Directive, UK Consumer Rights Act 2015, or any other applicable mandatory consumer protection legislation. If you are a consumer, your statutory rights are not affected.
Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information and forms part of these Terms. It is available at https://hopenapp.com/privacy-policy.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at contact@hopenapp.com or our Data Protection Officer at dpo@hopenapp.com. We will respond within 30 days. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority (e.g., your national data protection authority or the UK ICO).
Data Transfers
Where we transfer personal data from the EEA, UK, or Switzerland to countries not recognized as providing adequate protection, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission, the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA), or other lawful transfer mechanisms as described in our Privacy Policy.
Data Protection Officer
Our Data Protection Officer can be contacted at: dpo@hopenapp.com.
C. California Residents (CCPA / CPRA)
If you are a California resident, you have the following rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA):
To submit a verifiable consumer request, contact us at contact@hopenapp.com. We will respond within 45 days. California users under 18 may request removal of User Content they posted by contacting us at contact@hopenapp.com with the subject line "California Removal Request."
D. Canadian Users (PIPEDA / Law 25)
If you are located in Canada, we comply with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable provincial privacy laws, including Quebec's Law 25 (Law modernizing legislative provisions respecting the protection of personal information).
You have the right to access, correct, and withdraw consent to the processing of your personal information. Where required by Law 25, we will obtain your explicit consent before collecting sensitive personal information and will maintain a register of our personal information processing activities. To exercise your rights or withdraw consent, contact our Privacy Officer at contact@hopenapp.com.
E. Australian Users (Privacy Act 1988)
If you are located in Australia, we comply with the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).

If we are unable to resolve your complaint, you may contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at www.oaic.gov.au.
F. Brazilian Users (LGPD)
If you are located in Brazil, we comply with the Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD) (Law No. 13,709/2018). You have the rights of confirmation, access, correction, anonymization or deletion, portability, deletion of personal data processed with consent, information about sharing, information about the possibility of not providing consent and the consequences, and revocation of consent. To exercise these rights, contact us at contact@hopenapp.com.
Third-party and open-source components remain subject to their applicable license terms.
If any provision is unenforceable, it will be limited or removed only as necessary and the remaining Terms will continue. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.
These Terms and the Privacy Policy form the agreement between you and Hopen concerning the Services, except for additional terms clearly presented for a specific feature.
Before starting formal proceedings, you and Hopen agree to try in good faith to resolve a dispute by written notice to legals@hopenapp.com. This does not prevent urgent relief and does not shorten any limitation period.
These Terms are governed by the laws of Québec and the federal laws of Canada applicable there, without depriving you of mandatory protections available in your country or province of residence. Jurisdiction and venue are determined by applicable law.
Mandatory consumer, privacy, child-safety, warranty and liability rules in your place of residence apply even when these Terms state otherwise. Nothing in these Terms limits rights that applicable law does not allow Hopen to limit.
