Your Privacy Matters

🔐 Account Information

• Email address — used for login and optional notifications
• Display name — shown to collaborators you invite
• Authentication method — Google, Apple, or email/password

🎉 Event Data

• Event details — event type, date, location, guest count, theme, budget
• Guest lists — names, email addresses, RSVP statuses, dietary restrictions
• AI-generated plans — timelines, vendor suggestions, budget breakdowns
• Moodboards & themes — color palettes, style preferences

📊 Usage Data

• Page views & navigation — which pages you visit (anonymized)
• Feature usage — which tools you engage with most
• Session data — duration and frequency of visits
• Error logs — technical errors to improve the platform

📱 Device & Contact Data

• Phone contacts — names, phone numbers, and email addresses imported from your device, only if you explicitly grant permission and use the import feature
• Push notification tokens — a device-specific identifier used to deliver event reminders and RSVP updates (only if you enable notifications)

💳 Payment Data

• Card details — collected and stored exclusively by Stripe, our payment processor. PartyPal never receives or stores your full card number, CVC, or expiry.
• Purchase history — Stripe payment IDs, amount, currency, credit pack purchased, and timestamps are stored in your PartyPal account so we can grant credits and reconcile receipts.
• Receipts — Stripe sends an email receipt for each successful purchase using the email on your PartyPal account.

📍 Location Data

• Precise location — your device's GPS coordinates, requested on-demand only when you search for nearby vendors or venues
• Approximate location — your city, region, and country, derived from your IP address to suggest a default location in search

What we track

• Page views and navigation patterns (stored alongside your Firebase user ID while your account is active; anonymized and unlinked from you on account deletion)
• Feature usage counts (plan generation, vendor searches, etc.)
• Error occurrences for debugging
• Session-level engagement metrics (time on page, pages visited)

What we DON'T do

• ❌ No cross-site tracking
• ❌ No fingerprinting
• ❌ No selling your personal data to third parties

How you opt in

You opt in to SMS by entering your mobile number on a PartyPal-hosted opt-in page (for example, partypal.social/sms-consent/[code]) and explicitly checking the unchecked consent box. The disclosure shown to you at that moment describes the message types, the typical frequency (3–5 messages per event), the carrier rates note, and links back to this Privacy Policy and our Terms. PartyPal will not text you at all unless you complete this step yourself.

What we record when you opt in

• Your mobile number, in E.164 format
• The event you opted in for, and your name (if provided)
• The exact disclosure text and version you saw
• The timestamp of your opt-in
• Your IP address and browser user-agent string

We collect these technical artifacts because U.S. SMS carriers and The Campaign Registry can request proof that consent was a deliberate user action; we keep them so we can answer that audit accurately.

What we send

• RSVP confirmation after you respond to an event
• Event reminders leading up to the event date
• Updates from the host (e.g. location change, time change)
• For event hosts: notifications when guests RSVP to your event

How you opt out

Reply STOP (or UNSUBSCRIBE, CANCEL, QUIT, END) to any PartyPal text message and you will be added to our opt-out list immediately. You will receive no further texts from PartyPal. Reply HELP at any time and we will respond with support contact information. You can also email support@partypal.social to be removed manually.
