Privacy policy
Last updated August 5, 2026
The short version
We collect what the product needs to work, show it only to the people it's for, and let you delete it yourself. No ads, no selling your data.
What we collect
Your account: name, email address, and an optional photo and bio. Your activity: the groups you join, the sessions you RSVP to and check in at, reviews you write, and reports you file. If you organize paid sessions, Stripe holds your payout details — card and bank numbers never touch our servers.
When you type a venue or location, the text you type is sent to a geocoding service (OpenStreetMap Nominatim) to suggest addresses. Nothing else about you is sent with it.
What we use it for
Running the product you signed up for: showing sessions near you, telling organizers who is coming, sending the emails you asked for (reminders, activity, announcements — each with its own unsubscribe), and keeping attendance history so groups can see who shows up. We don't sell your data, run ads, or share it with anyone beyond the services that operate the site (hosting, database, email delivery, analytics, error reporting, Stripe for payments). Error reports go to Sentry and record what broke — the page and the error — never your name, email address or IP address.
Who can see what
Your profile (name, photo, bio, hosting and attendance track record) is visible to signed-in members. Members of a group can see the member list. Session attendee lists are visible to people who can see the session. Reviews are double-blind: the person you review can't read yours until they've written theirs or the window closes. Reports are visible to platform administrators only — never to the person reported.
Cookies and analytics
A session cookie keeps you signed in. We also use cookies and similar measurement tools to understand how the product is used — which pages work, where people get stuck — and to keep the service safe. Some of that tooling is still being rolled out; this policy covers it as it lands. We don't sell what we measure.
Deleting your account
You can delete your account yourself from Settings → Account. Your personal details are removed and your name is replaced with “Deleted member” wherever history has to stay intact for other people (past attendance, reviews they received). Sign-in is destroyed everywhere immediately.
