This Privacy Policy describes how evenin.gs ("we," "us," or "our") handles information when you use the evenin.gs app for iPhone and Android (package gs.evenin.app) or visit the evenin.gs city pages it shows: Gainesville, Indianapolis, Phoenix, and Salt Lake City (the "Service"). The app is a window onto those pages: it shows what is happening tonight at bars, restaurants, and live-music venues in the city you pick.
We do not have user accounts, sign-ups, or login. We do not ask for or collect your name, email address, phone number, contacts, photos, or any other personally identifying information. The exceptions are the rounded, anonymous location described under "Location" below, the location the map uses on your phone only (see "Location"), and the venue, busyness level, platform, time, and short-lived scrambled network keys described under "Live Busyness" for crowd reports. We do not show advertising, we do not use advertising identifiers, and we do not sell or share your information with anyone.
Location is optional. With your permission, the app uses your precise location on your device to sort venues by how close they are and to show where you are on the map. You can decline, or turn location off later in your device's settings or the app's Settings, and everything else still works.
While the app is open and location is allowed, we also record your position rounded on your device to about 150 meters (a grid of 0.0015 degrees, roughly one to two city blocks), at most once an hour for each area of that size you are in, and once more when venues are sorted by distance. Your exact position never leaves your device. Each rounded point is kept with the hour, roughly how accurate your phone said that position was, whether it came from the app or a browser, and whether it was taken while sorting by distance. Nothing else: no IP address, no device identifier, no cookie. We use these anonymous points to see which areas people use the Service from and to improve it for those areas. They are kept for four months in a form that cannot identify you. (Google Play lists a position this fine as "precise location" in the app's data safety section; this rounded point is what that refers to.)
The map shows a blue dot where you are using your location on your phone only. The map itself never stores or sends it, and it stops using it when you close the map.
If you have allowed location, the app can tell when you are at a venue and ask how busy it is. That check happens on your phone. A report stores only the venue, the level you picked, whether you used the app (iPhone or Android) or a browser, and the time. To stop repeat voting we also keep two scrambled keys: one made from your network address and your screen size (so two phones on the same Wi-Fi count as two people), and one made from your network address alone (so one connection cannot send an unlimited number of reports). Neither your address nor your screen size is stored as it is, the keys are deleted within the hour, and the secret used to make them is deleted every morning. We also keep a running total of how many reports came in that night, with nothing about who sent them, so the app can show it. Your device keeps its own count of the reports you have made, to show you; those counts stay on your device and are never sent. When your phone has been at a venue for 5 minutes, it also sends our analytics one anonymous line naming that venue (at most once a day per venue). Your exact location is never sent; the only position we keep is the rounded one described under "Location".
Notifications are optional. If you save venues (the heart on a venue), the app can give you a 5pm heads-up on days one of them has something going on. Those alerts are scheduled by the app on your phone; your saved list is never sent to us.
The app can also subscribe your device to notification topics, such as app news, through Google Firebase Cloud Messaging. Firebase issues a notification token for your device, a random identifier used solely to deliver the notifications you opted into. It is not linked to your identity, we have no accounts to link it to, and we do not use it to track you. Delivery is handled by Google Firebase Cloud Messaging and is subject to Google's Firebase Privacy and Security and Google's Privacy Policy. You can turn notifications off at any time in the app's Settings or in your device's notification settings.
We use analytics to understand aggregate usage of the Service, such as which pages are viewed and which features are popular. Our analytics tool is Puls, which we run ourselves on our own hosting at evenin.gs/_puls/. It sets no cookies and does not store IP addresses. To tell visits apart it uses a code made from your IP address and browser plus a random value that is deleted at the end of each day, so afterward a visit cannot be traced back to you, not even by us. It records the page, the browser and device type, the language your device asks for (which it also uses to guess the country), and in-app actions such as opening the map or saving a venue. It contains no personal data, and nothing in it is shared with anyone.
So the app loads quickly, your city, display preferences, and notification preferences are stored locally on your device. The venues you save are also kept on your device only: they are never sent to us, they do not follow you to another phone, and clearing the app's data or removing the app deletes them.
When you open the map, the page loads the map library from cdnjs (run by Cloudflare) and map images from OpenStreetMap (run by the OpenStreetMap Foundation). They receive your IP address, standard request information, and the area of the map you are viewing. Nothing is loaded from them until you open the map. The Service also links to venue websites, ticketing platforms, social media, and Google Maps; we are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to review their privacy policies.
We do not set any cookies. Our analytics is cookieless, we run no advertising, and nothing in the Service tracks you across other apps or websites.
evenin.gs lists bar, restaurant, and nightlife events and is intended for a general adult audience. It is not directed to children.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
