Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Evynture, Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you use this mobile application and related services (the “App”). By using the App, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Information we collect

We collect information in the following categories:

• Account information: name, email address, and authentication identifiers when you create an account or sign in.
• User content: information you submit in the App such as event details, RSVPs, messages, uploaded images, and other content you choose to provide.
• Device and app information: device type, operating system version, app version, language, time zone, and technical identifiers (such as an installation identifier).
• Usage data: interactions with the App (e.g., screens viewed, features used, errors/crashes).
• Approximate or precise location (optional): if you grant permission, we may collect location data to provide location-based functionality (such as showing nearby event information).
• Photos/camera (optional): if you grant permission, we may access your camera or photo library so you can upload images (for example, profile pictures or event images).
• Bluetooth (optional): if you grant permission, we may use Bluetooth to enable certain nearby device features. You can deny permission and still use the App with reduced functionality.
• Push notifications (optional): if you opt in, we will use a push token to send you notifications related to events, updates, or account activity. You can disable notifications in device settings.
• Payments (if applicable): if the App offers paid features, purchases may be processed by a third-party payment processor (e.g., Stripe). We do not store full payment card numbers; the processor handles payment details.

2. How we use information

We use information to:

• Provide, operate, maintain, and improve the App and our services.
• Create and manage your account, authenticate you, and keep the App secure.
• Enable core features such as creating events, viewing schedules, RSVPing, and messaging.
• Send important notices (e.g., security, feature updates, or event-related notifications if you opt in).
• Monitor, debug, and prevent fraud, abuse, or other harmful activity.
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms and policies.

3. How we share information

We may share information in these situations:

• With service providers that help us run the App (for example, hosting, databases, analytics, crash reporting, customer support, and payment processing).
• With other users (as part of the App’s normal operation), such as showing your name and profile information to event participants, and showing event content you choose to post.
• For legal reasons, if we believe disclosure is required by law or to protect the rights, safety, and security of users or the public.
• Business transfers, if we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

4. Third-party services

The App may use third-party services to provide essential functionality. These services may process information on our behalf, under their own privacy policies. Examples may include:

• Firebase (Google) for authentication, database/storage, hosting, and app reliability features. See Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
• Stripe for payments (if enabled). See Stripe’s privacy policy: https://stripe.com/privacy
• Apple and Google platform services (e.g., push notification delivery and in-app system services).

5. Permissions and your choices

• Location: you can enable/disable location permissions in your device settings.
• Camera/Photos: you can enable/disable camera and photo access in device settings.
• Bluetooth: you can enable/disable Bluetooth permissions in device settings.
• Push notifications: you can opt out at any time in device settings.
• Account: you may update or correct certain account information inside the App (where available).

6. Data retention

We retain information for as long as necessary to provide the App and for legitimate business purposes, such as maintaining records, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements, and complying with legal obligations. You may request deletion of your account and associated data (subject to certain legal and operational requirements).

7. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. International data transfers

We may process and store information in countries other than your own. Those countries may have different data protection laws. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers.

9. Children’s privacy

The App is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

10. Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your personal information, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise rights, contact us using the details below. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling a request.
