“Sensitive Personal Information” has the meaning provided by applicable law and may include precise geolocation, government identifiers, or other categories deemed sensitive.
“User Content” means content you submit to the Service, including posts, comments, photos, videos, and event details.
“Device” means any smartphone, tablet, or other device you use to access the Service.

If you enable location permissions on your Device, we may collect precise location data to provide location-based features, including mapping, event discovery, and proximity-based features.
We use Google Maps and related services to map and present location information.
You can control location tracking through your Device settings. If you disable location permissions, some features may not function properly.
We may receive information from third-party service providers that support the Service (for example, mapping services, analytics providers, and cloud infrastructure providers). The information received depends on the provider and the services used.
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or another region that requires a legal basis for processing, we process Personal Information under one or more of the following bases (as applicable):

If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, sale of assets, or similar transaction, your information may be disclosed and transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law.
Certain profile information and User Content may be visible to other users depending on how you configure your account and what you post.
Location-based content may be public or visible to other users. Please use caution when sharing information that could be used to identify your real-world location, routine, or schedule.
Some privacy laws define “sale” or “sharing” broadly to include certain disclosures of Personal Information (such as online identifiers) to third parties for analytics or advertising.
We do not sell Personal Information for money.
Depending on the SDKs and integrations used, certain disclosures to third-party analytics or advertising partners may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” under some laws.
Opt-Out: Where required, we will provide a method for you to opt out of “sale” or “sharing” (for example, through in-app settings or a request process). If you want this implemented as a dedicated link or in-app toggle (e.g., “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information”), add the applicable control and update this section to describe it precisely.
We may use cookies, SDKs, pixels, and similar technologies in connection with our Service (especially if we operate a website or embed third-party SDKs in the mobile app) to:
Your ability to control these technologies depends on your Device, browser, and app settings, and on the third-party technologies in use.
We retain Personal Information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the Service, maintain business records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.
Retention periods vary depending on:
If you request deletion of your account, we will take steps to delete or de-identify Personal Information, subject to lawful exceptions (such as security logs, legal compliance, and dispute resolution).
We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Data may be encrypted in transit and/or at rest where appropriate.

To exercise your rights, contact us using the information in Section 16. We may need to verify your identity before responding.
We use these categories for the business and commercial purposes described in Section 4.
As described in Section 7, certain disclosures may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” under CCPA/CPRA depending on the technologies used.
You may designate an authorized agent to make requests on your behalf. We may require verification of the agent’s authority and your identity.
Your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States or other countries where we or our service providers operate.
The Service may incorporate third-party services (e.g., Google Maps). Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Continued use after changes means acceptance.
