Your privacy matters to us. Learn how we protect and handle your information.

Last updated: December 2024

In Simple Terms

We respect your privacy. Here's what you need to know in plain language:

•We will never sell your data. Your information stays with us and is used only to improve your experience on Get Out In.
•What we collect: When you post events or create an account, we collect your email address and optionally your WhatsApp number. This helps us verify your account, send notifications, and provide feedback on your event submissions.
•How we use it: We keep your information to enable repeat logins, provide feedback on posts (each event is checked before going live), and understand which sections of the site are most popular. That's it.
•Want your data removed? Just ask. We'll personally delete your information, though you'll lose access to your account, login credentials, and saved preferences.
•External links: When you click a link to another website, their privacy policy applies, not ours.
