Privacy & Trust

Effective September 13, 2026

Party Poppin is built on a simple belief: you should be in complete control of your social presence. We connect people who choose to connect — nothing more.

OUR PRIVACY COMMITMENTS

🔒 You control what you share

Every piece of content you create — posts, check-ins, stories, scenes — has its own visibility setting. Public, friends only, or completely private. You decide, every time.

👥 Your circle, your rules

Share with everyone, just your followers, a specific list of people, or keep it entirely to yourself. Party Poppin never forces you to broadcast to people you didn’t choose.

📍 Location is opt-in, always

We only use your location when you explicitly check in or drop a scene. We never track you in the background. "Discoverable" check-ins are off by default — you turn them on when you want to be found.

🛡️ Safety Buddy is private

When you assign a Safety Buddy during a check-in, only that person receives a notification. Nobody else sees it. It’s a personal safety tool, not a broadcast.

💋 Flirts are completely hidden

Your Flirts list is entirely private. The people you’ve added can never see they’re on your list, and no one else can see your list either. It’s your personal wishlist.

💬 Messages stay between you

Direct messages are private between participants. Group chats are only visible to members. We don’t read, sell, or analyze your private conversations.

🚫 No shadow profiles

We only collect data you provide. We don’t build profiles on non-users or share your data with advertisers. Party Poppin is funded by the community it serves.

🗑️ Your data, your right

You can delete your posts, check-ins, stories, and scenes at any time. Deleting your account permanently removes your data. No ghost archives.

SHARING MODES

🌎 Public

Visible to all Party Poppin users and searchable on the map. Use for scenes and posts you want the community to discover.

👥 Friends

Visible only to people who follow you (or mutual follows, depending on your setting). Good default for personal moments.

📋 Selected List

Share with a specific group you’ve created — your crew, your close friends, your regulars. Coming in a future update.

🔐 Private

Only visible to you. Great for saving a scene for yourself, drafting a post, or keeping a personal record of your check-ins.

COMMUNITY TRUST

Party Poppin exists to help you find your people, discover the scene, and make real memories in the real world. In return, we ask every member to uphold these standards:

  • Be real — Party Poppin is for genuine connection, not spam or fake accounts.
  • Be kind — celebrate the scene without putting others down.
  • Consent matters — always get permission before tagging or sharing someone else’s photo.
  • Use safety features — the Safety Buddy feature exists because nightlife is fun AND has real risks. Use it.
  • Keep locations honest — dropping fake scenes or misleading check-ins wastes everyone’s time.
  • No harassment — any use of messaging, Flirts, or public posts to harass someone will result in removal.

DATA PRACTICES

What data do we collect?

Profile information you provide, content you post, check-ins you make, and usage analytics (screen views and feature usage, associated with your account identifier).

Do we sell your data?

No. We will never sell your personal data to advertisers, data brokers, or third parties.

How is your location used?

Only when you actively use location features (check-in, drop scene, Here Now). Never background tracked.

How long do we keep data?

Active account data is kept as long as your account exists. Deleted content is removed from our systems within 30 days. Account deletion triggers full data removal.

How is data secured?

All data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS/TLS) and at rest. We use Supabase with row-level security — each user can only access their own data by default.

WHAT WE COLLECT

Specifically, and nothing beyond this list:

Name, username, profile photo

To create and display your account

Email address

Authentication, account recovery, and service notices

Precise location

To verify you are physically at a venue when you check in. Read only while you are using a location feature.

Approximate location

To show venues and events near you

Photos and videos

Content you choose to post to the feed or your profile

Audio

Only as part of a video you record and post

Messages

To deliver direct messages and group chats

Check-ins, ratings, RSVPs

To power live crowd counts and your activity history

App usage and device diagnostics

To understand which features are used and to fix crashes

WHO WE SHARE DATA WITH

We do not sell your personal data and we do not share it with advertisers or data brokers. We do rely on a small number of service providers to run the app, and they process data on our behalf:

Supabase

Database, authentication, and file storage

PostHog

Product analytics — which features get used, tied to your account identifier

Sentry

Crash and error reporting

RevenueCat

Subscription management, only if you purchase one

Expo

Push notification delivery

We may also disclose information where required by law, or where it is necessary to protect someone’s safety.

HOW LONG WE KEEP IT

  • Account data is kept for as long as your account exists.
  • Content you delete is removed from active systems within 30 days.
  • Encrypted backups roll off on their own cycle and are fully purged within 90 days.
  • Subscription records are retained only as long as tax and accounting law requires.

YOUR RIGHTS

Depending on where you live, you may have the following rights over your personal data. We do not discriminate against anyone for exercising them.

  • Access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
  • Correction — fix anything inaccurate, directly in the app or by asking us.
  • Deletion — remove your account and personal data at any time.
  • Portability — request your data in a portable format.
  • Objection — ask us to stop certain processing, such as analytics.

To delete your account, see Delete Your Account. For anything else, email killmonger2317@gmail.com.

AGE REQUIREMENT

Party Poppin is intended for adults. The app is built around venues that are generally 21+, and it is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has created an account, contact us and we will remove it.

CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

If we make a material change we will update the effective date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you in the app.
