This Privacy Policy describes how the Gǎybor App and Web (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and shares information when you use our mobile application (“App”) and website (“Web”) (collectively, the “Services”).

1. Information We Collect

We collect information about you in a few ways:

• Information You Voluntarily Provide: This includes data you submit when creating an account, such as your name, email address, and optionally, a profile picture. If the Services include features like user-submitted reviews or event listings, we collect that content as well.
• Location Information: With your explicit permission, the App may collect your precise or approximate location data (e.g., via GPS or Wi-Fi) to provide location-based features, such as showing nearby points of interest or events. You can disable location tracking at any time through your device settings.
• Usage and Device Information: We automatically collect data about your use of the Services, including:
  • Device Information: Your IP address, device type, operating system, unique device identifiers, and browser type.
  • Usage Data: The pages or screens you view, the time spent on those pages, navigation paths, and interactions with features (e.g., clicking on a business listing).
  • Cookies and Tracking Technologies: We use cookies and similar technologies (like beacons and local storage) to maintain your session, remember your preferences, and analyze how you use the Services.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for the following purposes:

• To Provide and Maintain the Services: To operate the App and Web, create and manage your account, and fulfill your requests (e.g., providing directions, saving favorites).
• To Improve and Personalize the Services: To understand usage trends, diagnose technical problems, and customize the content and features you see (e.g., suggesting relevant local businesses or events).
• For Communication: To send you service updates, security alerts, and, if you opt-in, marketing or promotional emails related to Boystown events or businesses.
• For Safety and Security: To prevent fraud, enforce our terms and conditions, and protect the security of our users and the Services.
• For Analytics and Research: To monitor and analyze usage and activity trends to better understand how users engage with the Services.

3. Sharing Your Information

We only share your information in the following limited circumstances:

• With Service Providers: We engage third-party companies and individuals to perform services on our behalf, such as hosting, data analysis, and marketing assistance. These providers have access to your information only to perform these tasks and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.
• For Legal Reasons: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, protect and defend the rights or property of the Explore Boystown App and Web, or protect the personal safety of users or the public.
• Business Transfers: If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your Personal Information may be transferred. We will provide notice before your Personal Information is transferred and becomes subject to a different Privacy Policy.
• With Your Consent: We may share your information for any other purpose with your explicit consent.
• Aggregated or De-identified Data: We may share information that has been aggregated or de-identified so that it cannot reasonably be used to identify you.

4. Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the information we collect from accidental, unlawful, or unauthorized destruction, loss, alteration, access, disclosure, or use. However, no security system is impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your data.

5. Your Data Protection Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your data:

• Access: The right to request copies of your personal data.
• Rectification (Correction): The right to request that we correct any information you believe is inaccurate or complete information you believe is incomplete.
• Erasure (Deletion): The right to request that we erase your personal data, under certain conditions.
• Objection: The right to object to our processing of your personal data, under certain conditions.
• Withdraw Consent: Where the processing of your personal information is based on consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time.

You can manage your account information directly within the App or Web settings. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the contact details provided below.

6. Children’s Privacy

Our Services are not intended for use by anyone under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 18. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with Personal Information, please contact us.
