Privacy Policy

Overview

Long Beach Places ("we", "our", "the app") helps users discover places in Long Beach, California. This policy explains what we collect and why.

Information We Collect

• Authentication identity: If you choose to sign in, our authentication provider supplies a unique user identifier and, depending on your account settings, your email address. We never receive your password.

• Name: Your sign-in provider may share your name during initial account setup. We store it only to personalize the app. You can decline to share it when available.

• Profile photo: If you choose to add one, it is stored so it can be shown back to you in the app. Optional.

• Favorites: The list of places and events you mark as favorites. This is stored locally on your device while signed out. After sign-in, it is stored with your account in Supabase.

• Push notification data: If you opt in to notifications, we store your device's push token and your notification choices so we can send the updates you selected. Push notification data is associated with your device and, when you sign in, may be associated with your account.

• Contacts access: If you choose Add to Contacts for a place, the app requests device Contacts access so it can present and save that place as a contact. We do not read, upload, or store your existing contacts.

• Calendar access: If you choose to add an event to your calendar, the app requests write-only Calendar access. We cannot read your existing calendar events, and we do not upload or store your calendar data.

Information We Do Not Collect

We do not collect location data, existing contacts, existing calendar events, analytics, advertising identifiers, or any information beyond what is listed above. Contact and calendar details are used only to create the place contact or event entry you request on your device and are not sent to our servers.

How We Use Your Information

We use data to save and sync favorites, send the notification categories you enable, personalize your profile if you provide a name or photo, and create a place contact or calendar event on your device when you request it. We do not sell, rent, or share your data for marketing.

Third-Party Services

• Authentication provider: handles account sign-in and identity verification.

• Supabase: hosts account, favorites, and profile photo data. Supabase's privacy policy also applies: supabase.com/privacy

• Expo Application Services: delivers push notifications through Apple Push Notification service when you opt in. Expo receives the push token and notification payload needed to deliver those messages.

Data Retention & Deletion

If you sign in, your account data (favorites, name, photo, and associated notification preferences) is kept until you delete your account. You can permanently delete your account and associated data at any time from Profile > Delete account in the app. If you never sign in, favorites and device notification data stay only on your device and are removed when you uninstall the app or turn notifications off.

Children's Privacy

This app is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy. The "Last updated" date shows the latest version.
