Weekender is a mobile app that helps you find events happening near you. This policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, and how we use it.

1. Who we are

Weekender is operated by Will Gikandi, based in Australia. If you have questions about this policy, email skyfoxx@sacred.finance.

2. What we collect

• Device identifier. When you open the app for the first time we create an anonymous device user ID. This is not linked to your name, email, or any account.
• Location context. You choose a city or suburb when you set up the app. We store your selected city/suburb preference — we do not collect precise GPS location.
• Swipes and saves. We record which events you save, skip, or dismiss so we can show you a personalised feed and your saved list.
• Plans. If you create or RSVP to a shared plan, we store the plan details and the device user IDs of attendees.
• Analytics events. We log in-app interactions (e.g. feed viewed, event opened) to understand how the app is used and to improve it. These events are tied to your anonymous device ID, not to a personal identity.
• Push notification token. If you grant notification permission, we store your Expo push token so we can send you relevant event reminders. You can revoke this in your device settings at any time.

3. What we do not collect

• Your name, email address, or phone number (unless you contact us directly)
• Precise GPS or real-time location
• Payment information (we do not sell tickets)
• Data from third-party social accounts

4. How we use it

• To show you a relevant event feed for your chosen city and date
• To save and display events you've expressed interest in
• To power shared plans and RSVP flows
• To send push notifications you've opted in to
• To understand aggregate usage patterns and improve the product

5. Third-party services

We use a small number of third-party services to operate the app:

• Railway — cloud infrastructure that hosts our API and database
• Expo / Expo Push — push notification delivery
• Clerk — authentication infrastructure (device-level, no account required)
• Upstash Redis — short-term caching
• PredictHQ, Ticketmaster, Eventfinda, Moshtix, and other event data providers — publicly available event data ingestion
• Pexels — stock imagery used for event thumbnails
• ipapi.co — used on the landing page only, to detect your approximate city for the clock display. No data is stored server-side from this.

Each of these providers has its own privacy policy. We do not sell your data to any third party.

6. Data retention

Your anonymous device profile and associated swipes, saves, and plans are retained for as long as you use the app. If you would like your data deleted, contact us at skyfoxx@sacred.finance and we will remove it within 30 days.

7. Children

Weekender is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

8. Changes to this policy

If we make material changes we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
