Privacy

• Your Google account basics: name, email address, and profile photo, captured when you sign in with Google. That's the only sign-in method; we never see your password.
• What you do in the app: events you create, RSVPs, waitlist positions, and comments you post.
• A push subscription for your browser or installed app, only if you turn notifications on.
• Your location, on your device only. If you tap "Near me", your browser's location is used to sort events by distance right on your device. It is never sent to our servers or stored by us.

• Your display name and profile photo are visible to other users on events you join, host, or comment on, including a publicly visible "not going" status if you give up a spot.
• Your email address is never shown to other attendees or to event hosts.
• We may occasionally email you about Gatherly itself (new features, a hello). Every such email has a one-click unsubscribe; event emails you trigger (invites, cancellations) are separate.
• We share nothing with advertisers or data brokers. Ever.

Notifications are strictly opt-in. If you enable them, we send event reminders and RSVP-opening alerts through your browser's push service (Apple, Google, or Mozilla, depending on your device). You can turn them off any time in Settings, and we delete the subscription.

Your data is stored securely in the United States. Sign-in uses a single session cookie; we set no tracking cookies. If something breaks, the app sends us an anonymous crash report (technical details only, no personal information) so we can fix it. Chats with Snowy are processed by our AI provider to generate replies (never used to train models) and kept for up to 30 days so we can improve answers.

• Events, RSVPs, and comments are deleted automatically two weeks after an event ends. Your account keeps simple totals (events joined and attended) so streaks and badges survive.
• Your account (name, email, photo) is kept while you use Gatherly. Want it gone? Ask, and we'll delete it.

Email us at getgatherly.app@gmail.com for anything: a problem to report, help you need, or a request to delete your account and data. We'll sort it out.
