Privacy policy
Last updated 2 November 2026
PartyNearMe helps people find parties and events near them, share photos from them and chat.
This page explains what the app collects, why, who else handles it, and how to delete it.
Questions: mateojoelrodriguezmarcalla@gmail.com.
What we collect
- Account: your email address and a password (stored hashed by our sign-in provider, never readable by us),
or, if you sign in with Google, the email address and name Google shares with us.
- Profile: username, display name, bio and the interests you pick. Your profile is visible to other users.
- Photos and captions you post. Photos are shrunk on your phone and re-encoded, which removes their
location and camera metadata. Posts are public to other users.
- Shared links: when someone shares a party or post, the link opens a public web page showing its
title, time and venue (for a party) or the first photo, caption and author's name (for a post), so link previews
work. Hidden posts and removed parties show nothing.
- Location: only when you use it, to show parties near you or to place a party or post on the map.
We store the location of the parties and posts you publish, not a history of where you go.
- Events and RSVPs you create or answer, which other users can see.
- Messages you send. They are stored on our servers so they reach the other person; they are not
end-to-end encrypted.
- Activity in the app, such as which posts you viewed or liked, used only to order your feed.
- A push notification token for your phone, if you allow notifications.
- Reports you file about content or users, which only moderators see.
- Usage statistics: which screens and features get used, for how long, and where things go
wrong (for example "posted a photo with 3 pictures", "shared a party" or "no parties found nearby"), with your
phone type and app version, counted under your account ID only. They never include your posts, messages,
searches, location, name or email. You can turn them off under Settings > Share usage stats.
- Feedback you choose to send: messages from Settings > Send feedback, your answer to "would
you recommend PartyNearMe?", how you heard about us, and why you left if you tell us when deleting your
account. Only we read it. It is kept, no longer linked to you, after you delete your account.
- Share link visits: how many times a day a shared party or post link is opened, as a count
only; we don't record who opened it.
We don't sell your data, show ads, or use advertising trackers.
Why we use it
To run the service you asked for (your account, feed, map, chat and notifications), to keep it safe
(checking photos and captions for harmful content, handling reports, preventing abuse), and to fix problems.
Under GDPR the legal basis is performing our agreement with you, and our legitimate interest in keeping the
community safe.
Who else handles it
- Supabase (database and sign-in), hosted in Ireland, EU.
- Render (our server), hosted in Frankfurt, EU.
- Cloudflare R2 (photo storage and delivery).
- OpenAI (automatic moderation of photos and captions; not used to train their models through this API).
- Google Firebase Cloud Messaging (delivering notifications), and Google sign-in if you choose it.
- Sentry (crash and error reports, stored in the EU; these hold technical details and your account ID, not your posts or messages).
- PostHog (usage statistics, stored in the EU, with IP addresses discarded).
They process data only on our behalf. Some may process it outside the EU under standard contractual clauses.
How long we keep it
As long as your account exists. Deleting a post deletes its photos. Deleting your account deletes your profile,
posts, photos, events, RSVPs, messages, likes, follows and reports straight away, and the photo files shortly after.
Server logs are kept for a short time to fix problems.
Deleting your account
In the app: Profile, the ⋮ menu, Delete account. You can also email mateojoelrodriguezmarcalla@gmail.com and we'll do it for you.
Your rights
You can see and correct most of your data in the app. You can ask us for a copy of your data, its deletion,
or to stop or limit processing, and you can complain to your data protection authority.
Age
PartyNearMe is for people aged 18 and over. We delete accounts we learn belong to anyone younger.
Changes
If this policy changes in a way that matters, we'll say so in the app before it takes effect.
