  • Basic usage information (e.g., which screens/features are used, app performance/crash signals) to improve reliability and user experience.

• Support communications

  • If you contact us, we receive the information you include (email + message content).

3) How We Use Data (Purposes)

We use your data to:

• Provide and operate the FESTA service (accounts, profiles, events, groups).

• Show events near you (when location is enabled).

• Enable communication and coordination between users (e.g., groups/messages).

• Improve app performance, stability, and user experience.

• Prevent abuse and enforce platform safety.

4) Legal Basis (GDPR)

Depending on the situation, we process personal data under these bases:

• Contract / service delivery (to provide the app features you request).

• Consent (e.g., location permissions, notifications—where required).

• Legitimate interests (e.g., security, fraud prevention, service improvement).

• Legal obligations (where applicable).

5) Sharing of Data

We do not sell your personal data.

We may share data with:

• Service providers (processors) that help us run the service (hosting, databases, analytics, email delivery, push notifications).

• Payment providers

  • On iOS, subscriptions are processed through Apple’s In‑App Purchase system (often via a subscription service provider).

  • On web, payments may be processed by a payment provider (e.g., Stripe), if enabled.

  • We do not receive your full payment card details.

• Legal and safety reasons

  • If required by law, or to protect users, prevent fraud, or respond to valid legal requests.

6) International Transfers

Some providers may process data outside the EU/EEA. Where that happens, we rely on appropriate safeguards (e.g., EU Standard Contractual Clauses) as required.

7) Data Retention

We keep data only as long as needed for the purposes described above:

• Account and event data is kept while your account is active.

• Some logs/security data may be retained for a limited period for troubleshooting and abuse prevention.

• You can request deletion of your account and associated data (see “Your Rights”).

8) Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect data. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we work to protect your information.

9) Your Rights

Depending on your location (including EU/EEA), you may have the right to:

• Access the data we hold about you.

• Correct inaccurate data.

• Request deletion of your account/data.

• Object to or restrict certain processing.

• Data portability (where applicable).

• Withdraw consent at any time (e.g., location/notifications via device settings).
