Welcome to Crowli!

Crowli is an event-based social networking and communication application that helps people connect around events and shared experiences. Users can discover events, participate in event communities, communicate with other participants, share photos and posts, and interact with content. Events may include college festivals, weddings, concerts, parties, public gatherings, protests, and other community activities.

This Privacy Policy explains how Crowli ("we," "our," or "us") collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects personal information when you use the Crowli mobile application and related services.

By using Crowli, you acknowledge that you have read this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

The information we collect depends on the features you use and the permissions you grant.

1.1 Account and Profile Information

When you register for or use Crowli, we may collect:

• Name or display name.

• Email address and/or phone number.

• Profile photograph and other profile details you choose to provide.

• Account identifiers and authentication information.

• Account preferences and settings.

If you sign in using a third-party authentication provider, that provider may share certain account information with us according to your sign-in choices and its privacy policy.

We do not need access to your third-party account password when authentication is handled by an external provider.

1.2 Event Information

When you create, organize, join, or participate in an event, we may collect:

• Event name, description, category, date, and time.

• Event venue and address.

• Event cover images, posters, and other event-related media.

• Event organizer information.

• Event membership, participation, and attendance information.

• Event-related announcements, comments, and interactions.

Event information may be visible to other users according to the event's visibility settings and the features available in Crowli.

1.3 Messages and Conversations

Crowli supports communication between users and within event communities.

We may process and store:

• Messages sent between users.

• Messages posted in event groups or conversations.

• Message timestamps and delivery or synchronization status.

• Sender and recipient identifiers.

• Attachments or other content shared through messaging features.

Messages are processed to deliver communications, synchronize conversations across devices where supported, maintain service functionality, and address reports of abuse or security incidents.

Offline messaging: Where offline messaging is supported, messages may be stored temporarily on your device and synchronized or delivered when an internet connection becomes available. Offline functionality does not necessarily mean that messages are transmitted without a network connection.

Messages may remain available in conversation history until deleted, removed under our retention practices, or otherwise handled according to this Privacy Policy.

1.4 Photos, Posts, and User-Generated Content

Crowli allows users to share photos, posts, event updates, and other content.

When you upload or share content, we may process:

• Photos and images you select or capture.

• Captions, descriptions, comments, and posts.

• Files and attachments you choose to share.

• Likes, reactions, and other interactions.

• The date and time content is created or uploaded.

• Information associated with the event or conversation where content is shared.

Content shared in public or broadly accessible event communities may be visible to other users. Content shared in restricted communities may be visible to members who have permission to access that community.

Please do not share passwords, financial information, identity documents, private contact details, or other sensitive information unless it is genuinely necessary and you understand who may be able to access it.

1.5 Device and Technical Information

When you use Crowli, we or our service providers may collect technical information needed to operate, maintain, and secure the application, including:

• Device type and operating system version.

• App version and technical configuration.

• IP address and general network information.

• Device or installation identifiers, where available.

• App performance, crash reports, and diagnostic information.

• Security logs and error information.

• Notification tokens used to deliver push notifications, if enabled.

The precise information collected depends on the app implementation, operating system, and third-party services used.

1.6 Location Information

Crowli may use event venue information or location-related features to help users understand where an event is taking place.

If a feature requires your device's location, we will request the relevant permission where required by the operating system. Location access should be limited to the functionality that needs it.

If Crowli does not request or collect your device's precise or approximate location, this section does not mean that such information is collected.

You can manage location permissions through your device settings.

1.7 Contacts, Camera, and Photo Library

Depending on the features you use, Crowli may request access to your camera or selected photos and videos to enable profile images, event posts, and media sharing.

If a contact-discovery or contact-invitation feature is implemented, the app may request access to relevant contacts with your permission.

We use these permissions only for the functionality described to you when access is requested. You can manage permissions through your device settings.

1.8 Information from Third-Party Services

If Crowli integrates third-party services such as authentication providers, cloud hosting, media storage, push notification services, analytics tools, or crash-reporting platforms, those services may process certain information on our behalf or under their own privacy policies.

The applicable services and information processed will depend on the integrations used in the released version of Crowli.

2. How We Use Information

We use information for legitimate purposes related to operating and improving Crowli, including to:

• Create and manage user accounts.

• Authenticate users and maintain account security.

• Create, display, organize, and manage events.

• Allow users to join event communities.

• Deliver messages and synchronize conversations.

• Enable users to publish photos, posts, updates, and comments.

• Display likes, reactions, and other interactions.

• Send event-related announcements and notifications.

• Support offline message queuing and synchronization where available.

• Provide customer support and respond to user requests.

• Detect spam, harassment, fraud, unauthorized access, and misuse.

• Investigate reports and enforce our community rules.

• Diagnose technical problems and improve application reliability.

• Comply with applicable legal obligations.

• Protect the rights, safety, and security of users and the service.

We will not use personal information for purposes incompatible with this Privacy Policy without providing any notice or obtaining any consent required by applicable law.

3. How Content Is Shared

Crowli is designed to help people communicate and share information around events. As a result, some information is intended to be shared with other users.

3.1 Public Events and Posts

Information and content posted in public events or public areas of Crowli may be visible to other users and may be copied, saved, or shared by them.

3.2 Restricted Events and Conversations

Content shared in restricted events or private conversations is intended to be accessible only to users authorized to participate, subject to the app's actual access controls and applicable legal requirements.

No online service can guarantee that recipients will not copy, capture, or redistribute content they can access.

3.3 Event Organizers

Event organizers may receive access to information necessary to manage their events, such as event membership, participation, or content submitted to the event.

The information available to organizers depends on their permissions and the features implemented in Crowli.

3.4 User Interactions

Likes, reactions, comments, and other interactions may be visible to other users depending on the event and content visibility settings.

Before posting, joining, or interacting with an event, consider whether the information you share is appropriate for the intended audience.

4. When We Share Information

We do not share personal information indiscriminately. We may disclose information in the following circumstances:

4.1 Service Providers

We may share information with service providers that help us operate Crowli, such as providers of:

• Cloud hosting and databases.

• Authentication and account management.

• Image and file storage.

• Push notifications.

• Application monitoring, analytics, and crash reporting.

• Security, technical support, and infrastructure services.

These providers may process information to perform services on our behalf, subject to applicable contractual and legal requirements.

4.2 Other Users

We share information with other users when you choose to publish a profile, join an event, send a message, upload a photo, post an update, or interact with content.

The information shared depends on the feature and its visibility settings.

4.3 Legal Requirements and Safety

We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to:

• Comply with applicable laws, regulations, legal processes, or valid government requests.

• Investigate suspected fraud, abuse, security incidents, or violations of our terms.

• Protect the rights, property, or safety of Crowli, our users, or others.

• Establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

4.4 Business Transfers

If Crowli or its associated business is involved in a merger, acquisition, restructuring, financing, or sale of assets, relevant information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable privacy laws.

4.5 With Your Consent

We may share information for additional purposes when you request or authorize us to do so.

We do not sell personal information as a business model. If this practice changes, we will update this policy and provide any notices or choices required by applicable law.

5. Permissions and Their Purpose

Crowli may request the following device permissions depending on the features available in the installed version:

• Camera: To capture profile pictures or photos for event posts.

• Photos and media: To select and upload photos or other supported media.

• Notifications: To deliver messages, event updates, and other relevant alerts.

• Location: To provide location-dependent features, if implemented.

• Contacts: To support contact discovery or invitations, if implemented.

You can grant or deny permissions through your device settings. Denying an optional permission may limit the corresponding feature but should not affect unrelated functionality.

Crowli should access only the data necessary for the feature being used.

6. Data Retention and Deletion

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide Crowli, maintain accounts, support event communities, resolve disputes, enforce our terms, and meet legal obligations.

Retention periods may differ depending on the type of information:

• Account information: Generally retained while your account is active and for a reasonable period afterward where needed for legal, security, or operational purposes.

• Messages: Retained according to the conversation functionality, deletion controls, and applicable retention requirements.

• Photos and posts: Retained while the content remains available or until it is deleted, subject to backups and legal requirements.

• Event information: Retained as necessary to operate event features and maintain relevant event records.

• Technical logs: Retained for a limited period appropriate to security, diagnostics, and service reliability.

When information is no longer required, we will delete it, anonymize it, or securely dispose of it as appropriate, subject to applicable law and legitimate retention needs.

Deleting content from Crowli may not remove copies already saved by other users, screenshots, forwarded messages, or information retained in backups for a limited period.

Account and Data Deletion

You may request deletion of your Crowli account and associated personal information by using the account deletion option in the app, if available, or by contacting us at the email address listed in the Contact Us section.

When we receive a valid deletion request, we will take reasonable steps to delete the relevant information within the time required by applicable law.

Some information may be retained where required by law or where necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims, prevent fraud, or maintain security. Where permitted, retained information will be restricted to the relevant purpose.

If Google Play requires a dedicated account deletion web resource for the published app, we will provide an appropriate publicly accessible deletion-request page.

7. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, and disclosure.

Depending on the implementation, these measures may include access controls, authentication, secure network connections, database permissions, and appropriate safeguards for stored information.

However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

You are responsible for protecting access to your device and keeping your account credentials confidential.

8. Children's Privacy

Crowli is not intended to be directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without the required legal basis and protections.

Where applicable law establishes a higher minimum age or requires parental or guardian consent, we will follow those requirements.

If you believe a child has provided personal information to Crowli in circumstances that violate applicable law, please contact us. We will review the request and take appropriate action, including deleting information where required.

Parents and guardians should supervise children's use of online communication and content-sharing services.

9. International Data Transfers

Crowli or its service providers may process or store information in countries other than the country where you live.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, we will take steps required by applicable law to provide appropriate protection for that information.

The countries in which information is processed will depend on the infrastructure and service providers used by Crowli.

10. Your Privacy Rights and Choices

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to:

• Request access to personal information we hold about you.

• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.

• Request deletion of your personal information.

• Object to or request restrictions on certain processing.

• Withdraw consent where processing relies on consent.

• Request a copy of certain information in a portable format.

• Complain to a relevant data protection authority.

To exercise these rights, contact us using the details in the Contact Us section. We may need to verify your identity before responding.

You can also manage certain information by updating your profile, deleting your posts where supported, leaving event communities, or adjusting device permissions.

Some rights may be subject to legal limitations.

11. Push Notifications and Communications

If you enable notifications, Crowli may send alerts about messages, event announcements, participation, or other app activity.

You can disable push notifications through your device settings. You may also be able to manage notification preferences within Crowli.

If notification delivery relies on a third-party service, certain technical information, such as a device notification token and delivery metadata, may be processed to deliver the notification.

12. Analytics, Advertising, and Tracking

Crowli may use technical diagnostics, crash reporting, or analytics services if these are included in the released application. Such services may process technical or usage information to help us understand app performance, identify errors, and improve reliability.

If advertising or tracking technologies are introduced, we will update this Privacy Policy to describe the relevant information collection, use, sharing, and choices, and obtain consent where required.

The actual analytics, advertising, and tracking practices will depend on the services integrated into Crowli.

13. Third-Party Links and Services

Crowli may contain links to external websites, event pages, or third-party services.

We do not control the privacy practices of external services. When you visit an external website or use a third-party service, its own privacy policy and terms may apply.

We encourage you to review those policies before providing personal information.

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in Crowli's features, technology, data practices, or applicable laws.

When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. If changes are material, we will provide additional notice or obtain consent where required by law.

Your continued use of Crowli after an updated policy becomes effective will be subject to the revised policy to the extent permitted by applicable law.
