c. User Content

• Activity posts (title, description, location, time)
• Profile information

d. Usage and Analytics Data

We use product analytics to understand how the app is used (for example which screens and flows people use, sign-ups, and when people create or join activities). This helps us improve the experience; it is not used to sell your personal data.

• In-app events and interactions (such as completing sign-up, joining an activity, or creating an activity)
• Device and app information (such as device type and app version)
• A persistent analytics identifier tied to your account when you are signed in, so usage can be measured consistently across sessions

• Ensure safety and prevent misuse

a. With Other Users

• Your activity posts and profile may be visible to nearby users

b. With Service Providers

We use trusted third-party services to operate the app, including:

• Supabase (authentication, database, storage)
• Mixpanel (product analytics — usage events and related technical data as described above)

c. For Safety and Legal Reasons

• Comply with legal obligations
• Protect user safety
• Prevent fraud or abuse

5. Data Retention

We retain your data as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the service.

You may request deletion of your account and data at any time.
