Owner/legal review required before public mobile release. This draft is based on the app's current product behavior and is not legal advice.
This Privacy Policy explains what data the Outsies app collects, why it is used, and the choices you have. Outsies stores account, profile, activity, membership, chat, safety, and public meeting-location data to operate and protect the service.
Information we handle
Account information
To create an account you provide identifying information such as an email address and a display name. You must be at least 18 and provide accurate account information.
Profile information
Your profile may include a display name, a short bio, and an avatar. Avatars are stored privately and only shown to people you can communicate with.
Public activity locations
Activities you create include a location. Locations must be public meeting places such as parks, plazas, or venue entrances. Home addresses are not permitted. The location you choose is shown so other people can find the meetup.
Device location and city search
Device location is used only after you grant permission, and only to center nearby discovery. Typed city searches may be sent to the map-search provider to return results, without sending your device coordinates.
Event RSVPs and memberships
When you RSVP to an event or join an activity, that membership is stored so hosts and accepted participants can coordinate. Open and approval-required meetups work through this membership record.
Group chat and direct messages
Group chat is restricted to the host and accepted participants. Direct messages are available between people who share an accepted activity. Message content is stored so it can be shown to participants and, when reported, preserved as moderation evidence.
Notifications
With your permission, the app sends push notifications for join decisions, cancellations, chat activity, and upcoming-activity reminders. Push notifications are delivered through platform push services provided by Apple and Google.
Safety and moderation
Blocking and reporting
You can block other people, report activities or messages, and control who can communicate with you. Blocking applies to both discovery and communication paths.
Moderation evidence
When you report an activity or message, the reported content is kept as moderation evidence so the report can be investigated. Access to this evidence is limited to people who need it to protect the service.
Your choices
Account deletion
You can delete your account from the app. Account deletion removes identifying account data. Limited anonymized safety or moderation evidence and legally required records may be retained.
Data retention
Retention rules are being finalized before public release. This page will be updated to document exactly how long activities, messages, and other data are kept after an event ends or an account is deleted.
Service providers
Supabase
The app's backend uses Supabase for authentication, a PostgreSQL database, realtime data, storage, and edge functions. Data you provide is stored in these systems to operate the service.
Map and geocoding providers
Map tiles and city search may be provided by third-party mapping and geocoding services. Typed search text may be sent to the provider to return results.
Crash reporting
Anonymous technical logs and crash reports may be collected to detect, diagnose, and fix problems so the app stays reliable.
