Privacy Policy
Last updated: February 24, 2026
Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how Spotbo, Inc. ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our social meetup platform. By using Spotbo, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
1. Information We Collect
Account Information
We collect information you provide directly when you create an account, including your name, email address, profile photo, city, and interests. When you use Spotbo, we also collect information about your activity, such as meetups you attend, posts you create, and interactions with other users.
Technical Information
We automatically collect certain technical information, including your device type, operating system, browser type, IP address, and usage patterns within the app. This helps us improve the Spotbo experience and troubleshoot issues.
Location Data
Spotbo uses your location to show you nearby meetups and display distance information. We collect your approximate location based on your city selection during onboarding. If you grant permission, we may access your precise location to improve meetup recommendations and map features. You can revoke location permissions at any time through your device settings.
2. How We Use Your Data
We use your information to provide, maintain, and improve Spotbo's services. This includes personalizing your feed, recommending meetups near you, connecting you with people who share your interests, and sending you relevant notifications about upcoming events in your city.
We may also use your information to communicate with you about service updates, respond to your requests, and enforce our Terms of Service and Community Guidelines. We never sell your personal information to third parties.
3. Sharing Your Information
Spotbo relies on trusted third-party services to operate:
- Supabase — authentication and database services
- Vercel — application hosting and analytics
- Mapbox — map and location features
Each of these providers has their own privacy policies governing how they handle data. We may also use analytics services that collect anonymized usage data. These services do not have access to your personal profile information. We will never sell, rent, or trade your personal data to advertisers or data brokers.
We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, such as in response to a subpoena, court order, or other legal process, or if we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request.
4. Data Security
We take the security of your data seriously and implement industry-standard measures to protect it, including encryption in transit (TLS) and at rest, regular security audits, and access controls. However, no method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
5. Data Retention
We retain your account information for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will remove your personal information within 30 days, except where we are required to retain it for legal or legitimate business purposes (such as fraud prevention or compliance with legal obligations).
6. Your Rights
You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information at any time. You can update your profile information directly within the app. To request a full data export or account deletion, contact us at info@spotbo.com. We will respond to your request within 30 days.
If you are a resident of California, you may have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to delete it, and the right to opt out of the sale of your personal information (which we do not do).
If you are a resident of the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you may have additional rights under GDPR / UK GDPR, including the right to data portability and the right to restrict or object to certain processing of your data.
7. Children's Privacy
Spotbo is not intended for users under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 18, we will take steps to delete that information promptly.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting a notice within the app or sending you an email. Your continued use of Spotbo after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
