Privacy Policy

Information You Provide Directly

• Account Information: When you create an account, we collect your email address and password.
• Payment Information: If you subscribe to a paid plan, payment is processed by our third-party payment processor, Stripe. We do not directly collect or store your credit card number or full payment details — Stripe handles this securely. We do receive limited information from Stripe, such as your subscription status and billing history.

Information Collected Automatically

• Location Data: SLIDESHOW uses your device's location (with your permission) to find restaurants and venues near you. Location data is used to query Google Places API and is not stored longer than necessary to serve your request, except where retained temporarily for app functionality (e.g., calculating distance to venues you've saved).
• Usage Data: We collect information about how you interact with the App, including venues you view, save ("Love"), or pass on, filters you apply, and features you use (such as "Decide For Me"). This helps us operate and improve the App.
• Device Information: We may collect basic device and technical information, such as device type, operating system, and app version, for the purpose of debugging and improving compatibility.

Information from Third Parties

• Google Places API: Venue information, photos, ratings, and related data displayed in the App are sourced from Google Places API. Use of this data is subject to Google's own privacy practices.
• Stripe: Subscription and payment status information is provided to us by Stripe as our payment processor.

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, operate, and maintain the App's core features (venue discovery, saving favorites, personalized recommendations)
• Process subscription payments and manage your account tier
• Communicate with you about your account, subscription, or support requests
• Improve and develop new features
• Detect, prevent, and address technical issues or fraudulent activity
• Comply with legal obligations

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

We share information only in the following circumstances:

• Service Providers: With third-party vendors who help us operate the App, including Google (for location and venue data via Google Places API), Stripe (for payment processing), and our backend infrastructure provider (Supabase/Lovable Cloud), each of whom is bound to handle your data securely and only for the purposes we specify.
• Legal Requirements: If required to do so by law, or in response to valid legal requests by public authorities.
• Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to standard confidentiality protections.

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you the App's services. If you delete your account, we will delete your personal data, including your saved venues and profile information, except where retention is required for legal, tax, or accounting purposes (such as records of payment transactions).

• Account Deletion: You may delete your account at any time directly within the App, under Account settings. This will permanently delete your personal data and cancel any active subscription.
• Location Permissions: You can enable or disable location access for SLIDESHOW at any time through your device's system settings. Note that some features of the App may not function properly without location access.
• Access and Correction: You may contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data.

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or California, you may have additional rights under GDPR or CCPA/CPRA, including the right to request a copy of your data or object to certain processing. Contact us using the information below to exercise these rights.

SLIDESHOW is not intended for use by children under the age of 13 (or the relevant minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected such information, we will take steps to delete it.

We take reasonable measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

The App may contain links to third-party services (such as Google Maps for directions, or a venue's phone number for calling). This Privacy Policy does not apply to those third-party services, and we encourage you to review their respective privacy policies.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy, and, where appropriate, through additional notice within the App.
