Privacy Policy

Effective date: November 14, 2026

Attnd helps people follow live events (maps, schedules and updates) and helps organizers run them. We collect as little as we can. Attendees never create an account, and we don't use advertising, tracking or third-party analytics services. We don't sell or share personal information.

If you use the Attnd app (attendees)

• A random app ID. On first launch the app creates a random identifier that isn't linked to your name, email, phone number or advertising ID. We use it to remember which event you joined, your notification setting, your device type and app version, and when the app last checked for updates.
• Push notification token, only if you turn notifications on. Apple or Google gives the app this token, and we use it only to deliver updates from the organizers of the event you joined. Turn notifications off in the app's Options, or leave the event, to stop them.
• Your location, only when you look for nearby events or choose to show your position on the map. To find nearby events, the app sends your approximate position to our server for that search. We don't store it. The blue dot on the map never leaves your device.
• App and device verification. To make sure requests come from the genuine Attnd app on an unmodified device, the app uses Apple App Attest on iPhone and Google Play Integrity on Android. Apple and Google tell us whether the app and device pass their checks. We keep the verification result and a cryptographic key identifier, not personal information.
• Anonymous usage counts. The app tells us how often features are used, for example "the Map tab was opened" or "a location was viewed", so organizers can see how their event's app was used. These counts are sent without any identifier and stored only as hourly totals, so they can't be linked to you or your device.
• Camera, only while you scan an event QR code. Scanning happens on your device, and no images are sent to us.

If you organize an event (website)

• Account details: your email address and password. We store only a secure hash of the password, never the password itself.
• Event content: the details, locations, schedules, images, flyers and notifications you add, plus the websites, files and text you give our AI import tool.
• Cookies: organizers who sign in get a session cookie and a security (CSRF) cookie. We don't use tracking cookies.
• Attendee statistics: organizers see counts only, such as how many people joined, when the app was busiest and which features and locations were used. Never individual identities.

Service providers we use

We rely on a few providers to run Attnd. Each one gets only the data needed for its job:

• Heroku (Salesforce): hosting and database.
• Apple (push notifications, App Attest) and Google (Firebase Cloud Messaging, Play Integrity, Maps and Places).
• OpenAI: reads the event materials organizers submit to our AI import and refresh tools, to extract event details. Attendee data is never sent to OpenAI.
• Email delivery: account and event emails to organizers.

How long we keep data

• App records: the app ID and its push token are deleted after 12 months without use. Push tokens are also removed as soon as Apple or Google reports them invalid.
• Trial events created on our homepage and never claimed are deleted after 7 days.
• Organizer accounts and their events are kept until you delete the event or ask us to delete your account.

Your choices

You can turn off notifications, leave an event or delete the app at any time. Deleting the app removes its random ID from your device; the record on our side then expires as described above. Organizers can delete their events in the console or ask us to delete their account and data.

Children

Attnd is not directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect personal information from them.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we'll update it here and change the effective date above.
