12. Location

We may collect and use your device’s location information to enhance your experience with our platform.

Why We Collect Location Data:
We access your location to:

  • Accurately present events happening near you
  • Help you explore and discover nearby events based on your geographical area
  • Personalize content and improve relevance of event suggestions

Location usage:

  • We use the user’s location—either selected manually or obtained through device permissions—to show events that are nearby or specific to their area. This helps ensure the events displayed are both accessible and relevant to the user.

How We Use Your Location:

  • Location data is used solely for displaying events in your vicinity.
  • We do not share your precise location with third parties without your explicit consent.
  • Your location data is processed securely and only while the app is in use (if permission is granted).

Your Control:
You have full control over your location permissions:

  • You can enable or disable location access at any time through your device settings.
  • Disabling location access may limit some features, such as viewing nearby events.
