Privacy

The short version: we keep the event, not the message.

What we store

The event itself — what it is, when, where, who's hosting, and a link back to where it was announced. That's the part that's useful to someone looking for something to do.

What we don't keep

The original message. When someone posts an event in a public group, we read it to pull out the details — then the message is deleted once the event has been reviewed, and in every case within 30 days. That deadline is written into the code, not a setting someone can turn up.

The one thing we do keep

If an organizer posted a flyer or poster and we published the event, we keep that image, because it IS the event's picture on the site. It's the thing the organizer made to be seen. If we didn't publish the event, the image is deleted along with the message.

Your data

We never sell your personal data, and we never share it with advertisers or data brokers. Some companies handle parts of it to run this service for us — for example, the AI services described below and the companies that host the site and its database.

Software that reads flyers for us

To turn a flyer photo or an announcement into a listing, we send the image or the text to Anthropic, whose AI model, Claude, reads it, drafts the listing and translates it. For an event with no picture of its own, a moderator can ask Google’s AI model, Gemini, to draw one from the event’s title and description. A person checks every listing before it is published. Flyers you send are read this way, and creating an account means agreeing to it.

Signing in

With Google, with Apple, or with an email address and a password. The website needs an account for anything beyond its front page and each event's summary; in the app an account is optional, because a membership bought there works without one. An account lets you send in events and save the ones you like, and keeps a membership with you across devices.

Paying for a membership

On the website, Stripe takes your payment on its own page: we never see or store your card. We keep a Stripe customer number and the state of your membership — which plan, whether it renews and when it ends — and Stripe emails your receipts, tells you if a payment fails, and reminds you before a free trial becomes a paid membership and before a yearly renewal. In the app, the App Store or Google Play takes the payment and RevenueCat records the purchase for us; we keep the same state of your membership. If you buy in the app without an account, RevenueCat keeps the purchase under a random number your phone made up, and we store nothing about it until you create an account. If you accept a gift link, we record which link and when. Deleting your account cancels a website membership first; it does not cancel a subscription you pay through the App Store or Google Play — cancel that in your store account settings.

Counting visits

We count visits ourselves. There is no Google Analytics, no advertising pixel and no third-party tracker anywhere on this site, and nothing about your visits is sent to another company. To tell a returning visitor from a new one we set one cookie of our own, mtmv_vid, which lasts about 13 months. It records which pages and events were opened and which outbound links were followed — only the site a link points to, never the full address, and never anything you type into a search box. The detailed records are deleted after 180 days; after that only anonymous daily counts remain.

If you are signed in

Once you sign in on a browser, that visit cookie is linked to your account and stays linked — including after you sign out, because it is the same browser. So an administrator can look up the pages one named person opened. We think you should know that rather than have to guess it. Deleting your account breaks the link: the traffic history survives as anonymous counts, with nothing in it that points to you.

Your signed-in devices

Each time you sign in, we keep a record of that session: the network address it came from and a short description of the browser or phone. It is there so you can recognize a device you do not remember on the Sessions screen and sign it out. That record is deleted with the session — when you sign out, when you sign out everywhere, when it expires, or when you delete your account — and it is never used for analytics.

Location

If you tap “near me”, your browser asks your permission and the answer is used on your device to work out which towns are close. Your coordinates are never sent to us. The weather panel is the one exception: so it can remember where you want the forecast for, we store a deliberately blurred location, rounded to roughly an 11 km square. That names a valley, not a house.

Deleting your account

You can delete your account yourself — on the website from the menu under your avatar, in the app from Account → Account & security — no email, no form, no asking us. Be plain about what happens: your saved events, your feed preferences, your weather location, your sign-in methods and every signed-in device are removed, and your name and email are scrambled rather than erased from the records we have to keep, so moderation and audit history survive with nothing in them that points to you. If you signed in with Apple, we also tell Apple to forget the sign-in. Events you submitted stay on the site. They belong to the people who organized them, and they are credited to a deleted account.

Age
