Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 18, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how eventSS (“eventSS,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you use the eventSS mobile application and related services (collectively, the “App” or “Service”). eventSS is an iOS app that helps you save, organize, discover, and share events, invite friends, and build packing lists.

By creating an account or using eventSS, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.

Plain-Language Summary

We collect the information you give us (like your email, profile details, and the events you save) and a small amount of technical data needed to run the App. We use a backend provider (Supabase) to store your data and Google’s Gemini AI to read event details from images you choose to share. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use third-party advertising or analytics trackers.

Who We Are & How to Contact Us

The data controller responsible for your personal information is:

eventSS
Privacy contact: privacy@eventss.app

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information you provide directly

Account & authentication: Email address; password (if you sign up with email); the unique identifier and email provided by Sign in with Apple. Used to create and secure your account.
Profile: Display name, username, optional phone number, and an optional profile photo. Used to personalize your account and help friends recognize you.
Event content: Events you create or save, including title, date/time, location name and approximate coordinates, organizer, description, price, ticket URL, category, and any event image.
Social activity: Friend requests and friendships; event invitations (which may include the invited person’s phone number); your RSVP / attendance status.
User-generated content: Comments and optional comment images; packing lists and items you add.
Images you submit for AI processing: Screenshots, flyers, posters, or photos you choose to share so the App can extract event details.

1.2 Information collected automatically

Device push token: When you enable notifications, we store an APNs device token to deliver event reminders and updates.
Technical & log data: IP address, request timestamps, and basic diagnostic logs to operate, secure, and troubleshoot the Service.
On-device storage: A local copy of certain data (e.g. an onboarding flag and cached events) so the App works smoothly.

eventSS does not use third-party advertising networks, tracking pixels, or analytics SDKs such as Google Analytics, Firebase, Mixpanel, Amplitude, or Segment, and we do not track you across other companies’ apps or websites.

1.3 Device permissions we may request

Contacts: If you allow it, the App reads phone numbers from your contacts locally and checks (using only the last 10 digits) whether any of them already use eventSS. We do not upload, store, or share your full contact list.
Calendar (write-only): To add events you save to your iOS Calendar. We do not read your existing calendar entries.
Notifications: To send event reminders.
Photos / image selection: To let you choose a profile photo, event image, or a screenshot to import event details from.

Location search is performed using Apple Maps based on text you enter. The App does not continuously track your device’s GPS location in the background.

3. How We Share Information

We share information only as described below. We do not sell your personal information.

3.1 With other users

Some information is shared with other users as part of the App’s social features — for example, your display name, username, and avatar; events you make available to friends; comments you post; RSVP status; and invitations you send.

3.2 With service providers

Supabase — backend, authentication, database, and file storage. Privacy Policy
Google (Gemini API) — AI processing of images and event text to extract event details and generate packing recommendations. Privacy Policy
Apple — Sign in with Apple, push notifications, calendar integration, and map-based location search. Privacy Policy

3.3 Legal and safety

We may disclose information if required by law or where we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect rights, safety, or to investigate fraud or abuse.

3.4 Business transfers

If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you of any change in ownership or use of your personal information.

4. Automated / AI Processing

When you import an event from an image or request packing recommendations, the relevant image and/or event details are sent — over an encrypted connection through our backend — to Google’s Gemini API. The AI returns structured event fields or a list of suggested packing items. This processing happens only when you initiate it. We do not use this feature to make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects about you.

5. Cookies & Similar Technologies

eventSS is a native iOS app and does not use advertising cookies or cross-site tracking. It uses local on-device storage and an authenticated session token solely to keep you signed in and to operate the App.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. When you delete your account, we delete your profile and associated content — including events you own, your avatar, comments, packing lists, and related records — and unregister your device push token. Some information may be retained where necessary to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or prevent abuse. Backups are overwritten on a rolling basis.

7. How We Protect Your Information

Data is encrypted in transit using HTTPS/TLS.
Access to stored data is governed by database row-level security policies.
Authentication and credentials are managed by our authentication provider; we never store your Apple credentials.

No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. Please use a strong, unique password and keep your device secure.

8. Your Rights & Choices

Depending on where you live, you may have some or all of the following rights:

Access & portability — request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
Correction — update your display name, username, phone number, avatar, and event content directly in the App.
Deletion — delete individual events or your entire account from within the App’s settings.
Withdraw permissions — revoke Contacts, Calendar, Notifications, or Photos access at any time in iOS Settings.
Objection / restriction — ask us to limit or stop certain processing.

To exercise any right, use the in-App controls or contact us at privacy@eventss.app. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.

Your use of Apple services (Sign in with Apple, Calendar, Notifications, Maps) is also subject to Apple’s privacy practices.
