Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 14, 2026

Allpinion ("us", "we", or "our") operates the Allpinion website and related services (collectively, the "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your information when you use our Service. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data in an open and transparent manner, in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable data protection laws.

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or Switzerland, Allpinion is the data controller responsible for your personal data. You can contact us using the details provided in the "Contact Us" section below.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information to provide, improve, and personalize our Service. The types of information we collect depend on how you interact with us. We collect the following categories of data:

Personal Data

When you create an account or use our Service, we may collect personally identifiable information such as your name, email address, username, profile picture, and any other details you provide in your profile or event listings.
If you contact us for support, we may collect additional information you provide, such as your messages or feedback.

Location Data

We use your device's location to center the map, show relevant local events, and enhance your experience. We request permission through your browser or device. If permission is denied, we use a default location, and you can browse manually.
We do not store your precise location history. Location data is processed in real-time and is based on consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)). You can withdraw consent at any time via your device settings.

Usage and Device Data

We collect information about how you access and use the Service, including your IP address, browser type, device identifiers, operating system, pages visited, time and date of visits, and interaction data (e.g., clicks, scrolls).
This data helps us understand usage patterns and is processed based on our legitimate interests (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)) to improve the Service.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track activity on our Service and store certain information. You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings. For more details, see our Cookie Policy (linked below if applicable).

Data from Third Parties

If you log in via third-party services (e.g., Google or Facebook), we may receive information from them, such as your name and email, subject to your privacy settings on those services.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected data for the following purposes, based on lawful bases under GDPR:

To provide and maintain the Service, including event creation, real-time updates, and interactive maps (performance of a contract - GDPR Art. 6(1)(b)).
To notify you about changes to our Service, your account, or events you've interacted with (legitimate interests - GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)).
To enable interactive features, such as RSVPs, comments, and community interactions (consent - GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)).
To provide customer support and respond to your inquiries (performance of a contract or legitimate interests).
To analyze usage and improve the Service, detect technical issues, and prevent fraud (legitimate interests).
To send promotional communications about events or features, where you have consented (consent).

We do not use your data for automated decision-making that produces legal effects or similarly significant impacts.

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal data. We may share your information in the following ways:

With Service Providers: We engage third-party companies (e.g., hosting providers, analytics tools) to perform services on our behalf. They are processors under GDPR and are bound by data protection agreements.
For Legal Reasons: To comply with legal obligations, enforce our terms, or protect rights, privacy, safety, or property (legal obligation - GDPR Art. 6(1)(c)).
In Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, sale, or acquisition, where the recipient agrees to treat your data in accordance with this policy.
With Your Consent: For any other purpose with your explicit consent.

For EEA users, if data is transferred outside the EEA, we use Standard Contractual Clauses or other approved mechanisms to ensure adequate protection.

4. Your Rights and Choices

Under GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

Access: Request a copy of your data.
Rectification: Correct inaccurate data.
Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten"): Request deletion under certain conditions.
Restriction: Limit processing in specific cases.
Portability: Receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
Objection: Object to processing based on legitimate interests, including for direct marketing.
Withdraw Consent: Where processing is based on consent, withdraw it at any time.

To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@allpinion.com. We will respond within one month. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority (e.g., in the EU, your national supervisory authority).

You can manage your account settings to update preferences, delete your account, or opt out of communications.

5. Data Retention

We retain your personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined in this policy, or as required by law. For example, account data is kept while your account is active, and usage data may be retained for up to 2 years for analytics. When no longer needed, data is securely deleted or anonymized.

6. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data, including encryption, access controls, and regular security audits. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Children's Privacy

Our Service is not intended for children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16. If we become aware of such data, we will delete it. Parents or guardians can contact us to review or request deletion.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance.
