1. Introduction

Welcome to Wimbli. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring your personal information is handled in a safe and responsible manner. By accessing or using our Service, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information in several ways to provide and improve our Service:

• Account and Profile Information: When you register, we collect your email and username. You can optionally provide a profile picture, bio, and interests to personalize your experience.
• User-Generated Content: This includes information you provide in event posts (title, description, location, etc.), messages in group chats, and your list of saved events.
• Location Data: With your explicit permission, we collect your device's location to power features like nearby event discovery. You can manage this in your device settings at any time.
• Usage and Device Data: We collect information about your interaction with the App and basic device information to troubleshoot, analyze trends, and improve the Service. This data is often anonymized or aggregated.

3. How We Use Your Information

Your information allows us to provide a smooth, efficient, and customized experience. We use your data to:

• Create and manage your account.
• Operate the Service and its features, like displaying events and enabling chat.
• Personalize your experience by showing relevant content.
• Monitor usage to improve our Service.
• Provide customer support.
• Protect against fraud and ensure the safety and security of our users.

4. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal data. Information may be shared in the following situations:

• With Other Users: Your public profile information (username, photo), your posts, and your chat messages are visible to other users as a core function of the App.
• With Service Providers: We use third-party services like Google Firebase for backend infrastructure (database, authentication, etc.). These providers have access to information only to perform tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for other purposes.
• For Legal Reasons: We may disclose your information if required by law or to protect the rights, property, or safety of our company, our users, or others.

5. Data Security

We implement administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your information. While we take reasonable steps to secure your data, no security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Data Retention and Deletion

We retain your personal information as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you our services. You can delete your account at any time from the App's settings. Upon deletion, we will take steps to erase your personal information from our active databases in a timely manner, subject to legal and operational requirements.

7. Your Rights and Choices

You have control over your personal information. You can access and update your profile at any time, manage location permissions in your device settings, and delete your account entirely through the App.

8. Children's Privacy

Our Service is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us immediately so we can take steps to delete it.

9. International Data Transfers

Your information may be transferred to and maintained on computers located outside of your home country where data protection laws may differ. Our primary servers are located in the United States. Your consent to this Privacy Policy represents your agreement to that transfer.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
