Deel een bubbel van maximaal 5 mensen voor 90 dagen,
waardoor echte vrienden de tijd en ruimte krijgen om te groeien.
Schrijf je in op de wachtlijst en wees een van de eersten die het uitprobeert.
Gebruik de bubbelglobe om kleine groepen bij jou in de buurt of wereldwijd te ontdekken.
Je exacte locatie blijft verborgen, zodat je veilig bent.
Praat in een groep die klein genoeg is om echt contact te maken.
Nieuwe leden hebben unanieme goedkeuring nodig, zodat geen goede vibe wordt verbroken.
Wanneer een bubbel eindigt, kiest elk lid wie een echte vriend wordt.
De anderen kunnen het in een nieuwe bubbel opnieuw proberen.

Alles over bubbels
Van het eerste hallo tot de vriendschappen die blijven bestaan: hier is hoe elke fase van een Hopen-bubbel werkt.
Een bubbel is een kleine, tijdelijke groep van 2 tot 5 personen. Iedereen deelt dezelfde groepschat, waardoor iedereen voldoende ruimte heeft om gezien en gesproken te worden en echte verbindingen op te bouwen.
Met de gratis versie van Hopen kun je telkens van één actieve bubbel deel uitmaken. Met Hopen Go kun je tegelijkertijd aan maximaal 5 actieve bubbels deelnemen. Elke bubbel blijft een kleine kring van 2 tot 5 mensen, bedoeld voor oprechte gesprekken en betekenisvolle banden.
Je kunt met iemand een bubbel starten, een uitnodiging accepteren of een verzoek indienen om lid te worden van de Bubble-wereldbol. Je mag niet al in een bubbel zitten, en de bubbel moet ruimte hebben. Elk bestaand lid moet een nieuwkomer unaniem goedkeuren.
Een nieuwe zeepbel begint met een aftelling van 90 dagen. Een nieuw lid voegt 30 dagen toe, maar het aftellen kan nooit langer duren dan 90 dagen. Een bubbel heeft ook een harde levensduurlimiet van 180 dagen vanaf de oprichting ervan, dus deze kan niet eeuwig blijven bestaan door ledenwisselingen.
De bubbel is vol. Uitnodigingen en deelnameverzoeken zijn niet meer beschikbaar en er is geen openbare wachtlijst. Er moet een plaats vrijkomen voordat een andere in aanmerking komende persoon in aanmerking kan komen.
Ja. Als u weggaat, wordt het aftellen niet gewijzigd. Als er minder dan 2 actieve leden overblijven, lost de bubbel onmiddellijk op en eindigen de resterende lidmaatschappen.
Ja, maar ieder stemgerechtigd lid, behalve de betrokkene, moet ermee instemmen. Het verwijderen van stemmen wordt uitgeschakeld als er nog maar 2 mensen over zijn. Een verwijderd lid wordt uit die bubbel verbannen, tenzij een beheerder later de verbanning opheft.
De bubbel vervalt en er worden automatisch vriendschapskeuzes gemaakt tussen voormalige leden die nog geen vrienden zijn. Elke keuze is privé en paar voor paar: beide mensen moeten elkaar kiezen om vrienden te worden. Als een van beide personen weigert, keren ze terug naar geen relatie.
Een zeepbel lost op als er minder dan twee actieve leden overblijven. Er worden geen vriendschapskeuzes gemaakt. De tijdelijke bubbler-verbinding verdwijnt en elk voormalig paar keert eenvoudigweg terug naar de relatie die ze hadden vóór de bubble, meestal vriend of geen.
Een contact is een persoonlijke bladwijzer in één richting: als u iemand toevoegt, wordt er geen verzoek of melding verzonden en verandert uw relatie niet. Een vriend is een wederzijdse verbinding die alleen kan worden gevormd als beide mensen voor elkaar kiezen nadat een bubbel is geëindigd.
Nee. Je kunt op Hopen niet handmatig een vriendschapsverzoek sturen. Vriendschapskeuzes worden alleen automatisch gegenereerd wanneer een bel het einde van het aftellen bereikt.
Nee. Uw precieze positie blijft verborgen. De globe maakt gebruik van een onnauwkeurig bellenanker en ververst een opgeslagen positie pas na een aanzienlijke verplaatsing van meer dan 100 km. Een bubbel is verankerd aan zijn langst bestaande actieve lid zonder iemands live GPS te streamen.
Een persoon kan niet starten, deelnemen aan of worden uitgenodigd voor een bubbel wanneer hij of zij en een bestaand lid elkaar hebben geblokkeerd. Deze controle geldt in beide richtingen voordat het verzoek verder kan.
Plaats echte vriendschappen weer in het middelpunt.
Sociale media verbinden ons met duizenden mensen, maar toch zijn we nog nooit zo alleen geweest. Tussen groepschats van meer dan 50 mensen waarin niemand echt praat en de oppervlakkigheid van duizenden volgers en likes, lijden we allemaal onder een gebrek aan authentieke interacties. Hopen geeft je de kracht terug om diepe, duurzame vriendschappen op te bouwen.
Hopen creëert tijdelijke bubbels van 2 tot 5 personen. Leef 90 dagen lang in het moment. Door de groepsgrootte te beperken, dwingen we echte en diepgaande interactie af. We garanderen dat jouw bubbel een echte cocon van intimiteit wordt, want niemand kan zich erbij aansluiten zonder een unanieme stemming.
Elke bubbel heeft een levensduur van 90 dagen. Die urgentie geeft de interactie een exclusief karakter. Je beleeft de bubbel ten volle omdat je weet dat hij een einde heeft.
Hopen herdefinieert sociale verbondenheid met een ongekende taalkundige toegankelijkheid: 54 beschikbare talen en meer dan 7 miljard potentiële gebruikers die hun moedertaal spreken. Of je nu nieuwe culturen wilt ontdekken of contact wilt houden met je dierbaren, Hopen spreekt jouw taal — letterlijk.
Hopen beschikt over een unieke 3D-interface genaamd de Bubble globe. Verken de wereld en ontdek bubbles van mensen bij jou in de buurt of over de hele wereld. Deze meeslepende ervaring transformeert hoe je je bubble vindt en ermee in contact komt, waardoor sociale ontdekking intuïtiever wordt.
In tegenstelling tot apps die je tot op de meter volgen, vervaagt onze kaart je locatie en wordt die alleen bijgewerkt in sprongen van 100 km. Verankerd aan het oudste lid creëert ze een gevoel van geografische verbondenheid zonder je veiligheid en privacy in gevaar te brengen. Je kunt met een gerust hart bubbels zoeken en je erbij aansluiten.
We bereiden een nieuwe functie voor die een revolutie teweeg zal brengen in de manier waarop we met elkaar communiceren en de kloof tussen mensen zal verkleinen. Blijf kijken voor een ongekende aankondiging.
Voor vragen over samenwerkingen, pers, de community of investeerders – stuur ons een bericht en we nemen contact met je op.

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.

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.

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.
