Privacy Policy
Sponta (“we”, “us”, or “our”) operates the Sponta mobile application (the “App”). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Information we collect
When you use the App, we may collect the following information:
- Account information: email address and authentication identifiers when you sign up or sign in (including with Google Sign-In).
- Profile information: display name and city you choose to add to your profile.
- Location information: if you grant permission, we use your device location once to suggest your city. We store the city name on your profile, not your precise GPS coordinates.
- Social and app content: plans you create, participation status (interested/going), friend connections, direct messages, group chats, and plan chat messages.
- Push notification tokens: device tokens so we can send you notifications about messages, plan activity, and related updates.
- Technical data: basic device/platform information needed to deliver the App and notifications (for example, iOS or Android).
How we use information
We use the information above to:
- create and manage your account;
- let you post plans, connect with friends, and chat;
- show relevant plans and conversations to you and your friends;
- send push notifications you expect from the App (for example, new messages or plan updates);
- keep the App secure, reliable, and working as intended;
- comply with legal obligations.
How we share information
We do not sell your personal information.
We share information only in these cases:
- With other users: your display name, city, plans, and messages are visible to other users according to how the App works (for example, friends who can see your plans, or people in a chat you joined).
- Service providers: we use Google Firebase (authentication, database, cloud messaging) and related infrastructure to run the App. These providers process data on our behalf under their own terms and privacy policies.
- Legal requirements: if required by law or to protect rights, safety, and security.
Data retention
We keep your information while your account is active and as needed to provide the App. If you want your account and associated data deleted, contact us using the email below.
Your choices
- You can update your display name and city in the App.
- You can deny location permission and enter your city manually.
- You can disable push notifications in your device settings.
- You can sign out at any time.
- You can request account deletion by emailing us.
Children
The App is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.
International users
Your information may be processed in countries where our service providers operate. By using the App, you understand your information may be transferred to and processed in those locations.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version on this page and change the effective date above.
