By using this application, service, or website (the “Application”), you agree to the policy below. If you do not agree, please do not use the Application. This policy may change in the future, and the latest version will always be posted on this page.
Deleting Your Account
In the app, go to the Profile tab and tap Delete account. It happens right away. You can also email puntolatinoapp+delete@gmail.com from the email address on your account and ask us to delete it. We use that address to make sure the request really comes from you.
Deleting your account removes your login and your profile, which includes your name, birthday, photo, gender, flags, bio, interests, Instagram, and city. It also removes your saved events, the events you said you’re going to, the plans you started, your messages, your place in plans and chats, and your block list. A few things are handled differently:
- Events you posted stay listed, because other people may be planning to go. We take your name and contact details off them. Tell us if you want the listings taken down too.
- Reports you made about other members are kept, without your name on them, so we can still act on them.
- Records of payments you made to feature an event are kept, without being linked to your account, because we have to keep financial records.
Information We Collect
- If you create an account, we store your email address, your name, your date of birth, the area you select on your account page, and whether you opted in to marketing email. Accounts are handled by Supabase, our authentication and database provider.
- If you sign in with Google, Google tells us your email address and your name. If you sign in with Apple, Apple tells us your email address, which may be a private relay address if you chose to hide yours, and sometimes your name. We never receive your Google or Apple password. If you sign in with a password on the website instead, your password is stored only as a cryptographic hash by Supabase and is never visible to us.
- If you join the community in the app, we store the profile you fill in: your photo, gender, the flags of where your family is from, your interests, and, if you add them, a bio and your Instagram handle. Your profile shows your age, never your birthday.
- The app asks to use your location while you’re using it. It uses it on your phone to show events near you and to work out which city you’re in. If you’re a community member, we save that city so you can show up in Nearby and use your city’s chat. We save the city only, never your exact location. If you start a plan, we save the meeting point and the spot you pick on the map.
- The app asks to use your photos when you add a profile picture or an event flyer. It only uploads the photos you choose.
- We store what you do in the community: events you save or say you’re going to, plans you start or join, the messages you send in plan chats and city chats, the people you block, and the reports you make. We also note when you last opened the app, so Nearby only shows people who are active.
- If you submit an event, we collect the details of that event along with the organizer name, email address, and phone number you provide, and any image you upload. Organizer contact details are used to follow up about the submission and are not published. We also record the IP address the submission came from, which we use only to detect and stop abuse.
- If you pay to feature an event, payment is processed by Stripe. We receive a record of the transaction and the email address used; we never receive or store your card number.
- This Application uses Google Analytics for traffic statistics, such as how many people use the Application, what types of devices they use, and which pages are popular. Google Analytics does not tell us who you are. You can opt out across all sites using Google’s opt-out browser add-on, and control ads personalization through Google’s My Activity.
- This Application uses PostHog for product analytics, meaning which features are used and how people move through the site. Unlike the other two, if you are signed in we associate this data with your account identifier and email address so we can understand how signed-in people use the Application. When you sign out, that association is cleared.
- This Application uses Vercel Analytics for page-level traffic measurement. It does not use cookies and does not identify you.
- These analytics services may collect data such as IP address, browser and device type, pages visited, referring site, and approximate location derived from IP address.
- We collect error information when something goes wrong, which may include your browser version and your account identifier if you are signed in.
- When you type an event's location, on the website or in the app, what you type is sent to Google Places to suggest matching addresses and venues. To place events on a map, we convert addresses into coordinates using Google Places or the OpenStreetMap Nominatim geocoding service. Map tiles are rendered in your browser.
- If you opt in to marketing email, we may send you occasional email about Latino events, promotions, and offers from partners. You may opt out at any time.
Information We Share
- We may share aggregate information, such as how many times an event or venue was viewed. Aggregate information does not identify you.
- Event details you submit are published on the Application immediately, along with any flyer you upload. Organizer email addresses and phone numbers are never included.
- Your community profile is visible to other signed in community members. That’s your photo, first name, age, gender, flags, interests, bio, and Instagram. It isn’t public on the web, and people you block, or who block you, can’t see it.
- Saved events are private. Only you can see them. Saying you’re going to an event is public to community members: people going to the same event can see it, and it shows on your profile.
- If Show me in Nearby is on, community members in your city can find you in Nearby. Messages in a plan or city chat can be read by everyone in that chat. We don’t read your chats unless a message is reported to us.
- We share information with the service providers who operate the Application on our behalf, which right now are Supabase, Vercel, Stripe, Google, Apple, and PostHog, and when the law requires it.
- We do not sell your personal information.
How We Use Information
We use the information we collect to operate and improve the Application, publish and moderate submitted events, process payments, respond to inquiries, and send you marketing email if you opted in.
Your Choices
You can review your details and change your area and marketing preferences at any time on your account page. Turning off the marketing setting there stops promotional email.
In the app you can edit your community profile, turn off Show me in Nearby, leave any plan or chat, and block anyone. You can turn off location or photo access in your phone’s settings, and the app still works without them. Your name and birthday can’t be changed once they’re set, so email us if one is wrong. You can delete your account as described above.
Third Parties
The Application contains links to third party websites, including ticketing sites, venue websites, and social media profiles. By including these links we do not represent those parties or their content, products, or services. You are responsible for knowing when you are visiting a third party website and for knowing the terms and privacy policy of each such website.
Your California Rights
California residents have the right to know what personal information we collect, to request deletion of that information, and to opt out of the sale of personal information. We do not sell personal information. To exercise any of these rights, email puntolatinoapp@gmail.com.
Age Requirement
You must be 18 or older to create an account. The Application is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has created an account, please contact us so we can remove it.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated policy on this page with a new “last updated” date. Continued use of the Application constitutes your agreement to the updated policy.
