Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how Gatherings LLC dba Gaytherings ("Gaytherings," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, discloses, and otherwise processes Personal Information in connection with your access to and use of our platform, website, and related services (collectively, the "Services").

Gaytherings provides a platform that connects Organizers and Attendees for events that may involve sensitive, personal, or identity-related topics. We are committed to protecting your privacy; however, your use of the Services may involve sharing information with other Users or making information publicly available, and you should carefully consider what information you choose to provide.

This Privacy Policy explains your privacy rights and choices and how we handle your Personal Information. Capitalized terms not defined below have the meaning given to them in our Terms of Service.

Acceptance. By accessing or using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read and understand this Privacy Policy and agree to the collection, use, and disclosure of your Personal Information as described herein. If you do not agree, you must not access or use the Services.

Updates. We may modify this Privacy Policy at any time by posting an updated version on the Services. If we make material changes, we may provide notice through the Services or by email, at our discretion. Your continued use of the Services after the effective date of any updates constitutes your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

"Personal Information" means information that identifies, relates to, or could reasonably be linked to an individual or household, such as name, email address, transaction history, usage data, or other similar information.

We collect Personal Information as necessary to provide, operate, and improve the Services. The types of Personal Information we collect depend on how you interact with the Services and generally include information you provide directly, information collected automatically, and information received from third parties.

Gaytherings is a platform that connects Attendees and Organizers. Personal Information shared between Users through the Services is provided directly by Users and is controlled by the receiving party. Gaytherings does not control how Users independently collect, use, store, or disclose Personal Information obtained through the Services. Users act as independent controllers of such information and are solely responsible for ensuring that their use complies with applicable laws. Personal Information shared through the Services may be visible to other Users and used by them outside our control. To the extent applicable under data protection laws, Gaytherings acts as a service provider or processor with respect to certain Personal Information and as an independent controller with respect to other Personal Information.

1.1 Personal Information We Collect Directly From You

We collect Personal Information that you provide to us when you create an account, use the Services, communicate with us, or otherwise interact with the Services. We limit the Personal Information we collect to what is reasonably necessary to provide and improve the Services. Depending on how you use the Services, the Personal Information you provide may include:

• Contact Information. Name, email address, mailing address, billing address, telephone number, and profile image.

• Business Information. Business name, contact details, website, and related profile information.

• Membership Information. Information submitted in connection with membership, invitation-only, waitlist, or application-based features made available through the Services, including application responses, questionnaire or form submissions, invitation status, approval or denial status, membership preferences, and related communications.

• Payment Information. Payment information is collected and processed by our third-party Payment Processor. We may receive limited transaction details, such as your name, transaction amount, and transaction status.

• Account Information. Email address used for sign-in, display name, account preferences (including your saved location and community preferences, as described in Section 1.2), and account activity. We use email-based one-time passcode authentication; we do not use or store account passwords.

• Communications. Information contained in communications you send or receive through the Services.

• Content and Submissions. Information, data, text, images, videos, files, feedback, and other content you upload, create, or make available through the Services, including content you provide on behalf of others.

• Testimonials. Testimonials or feedback you choose to provide for publication, subject to your consent.

• Support Information. Information you provide when requesting customer support, including support requests and related attachments.

If you provide Personal Information about other individuals, including Attendees, you represent and warrant that you have the right to provide such information and that your collection and use of such information complies with applicable laws.

Certain information you provide, such as your User name or Event-related content, may be visible to other Users. You should not provide Personal Information that you do not wish to be shared or made visible through the Services.

1.2 Sensitive Personal Information

We do not require you to provide sensitive Personal Information in order to use the Services. However, due to the nature of the Services and Events, you or other Users may choose to share information that could be considered sensitive. This may include, without limitation, information revealing racial or ethnic origin, sexual orientation, sex life, gender identity, religious or philosophical beliefs, political opinions, health information, or membership in a trade union, as well as other personal information such as identity, personal preferences, affiliations, or community participation. You acknowledge that any information you choose to share may be visible to other Users and that you do so at your own discretion and risk.

Location and community preferences. The Services allow you to browse Events by location and by community focus. If you create an account, you may choose to save these preferences so that the Services show you relevant Events by default. A saved community preference may reveal or suggest information about your identity, orientation, or community participation. We use saved location and community preferences solely to personalize the Events shown to you within the Services. We do not sell this information, do not share it with third parties for advertising, and do not use it for any form of targeted advertising. You can change or clear your saved preferences at any time in your account settings, and you can use the Services without saving any preferences at all.

Participation in certain Events, including application-based, invite-only, or membership-related features, may indirectly reveal information about your interests, affiliations, or community participation.

You are responsible for any sensitive Personal Information that you choose to provide, upload, submit, or share through the Services, including through profiles, Event participation, forms, applications, communications, or other content. You should carefully consider whether to share such information through the Services.

Gaytherings does not intentionally collect or process sensitive Personal Information for purposes beyond providing and operating the Services. We do not require, and you should not provide, sensitive Personal Information that is not necessary for your use of the Services or interest in any Event. To the extent sensitive Personal Information is processed through the Services, such processing is based on your voluntary submission of the information and your use of the applicable Services or features.

1.3 Information We Automatically Collect From You

When you access or use the Services, we may automatically collect certain information about your device and usage of the Services, including:

• Usage Information. Pages viewed, features used, actions taken, timestamps, and general interaction data.

• Device Information. IP address, browser type, operating system, device identifiers, and network information.

• Approximate Location. General location derived from your IP address. Location information may be associated with Events or activities on the Services. You should use discretion when accessing or interacting with Events and consider your privacy preferences when enabling location features.

• Technical and Log Data. Access logs and other technical data related to your use of the Services.
  

We use this information to operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Services, including to analyze usage trends, detect and prevent fraud, and ensure the proper functioning of the Services. This information may be considered Personal Information under applicable law. We do not use automatically collected information for targeted advertising.

We take steps to limit how automatically collected information is associated with individual Users. In general, such information is maintained in a de-identified or aggregated form and is segregated from account information or other data that directly identifies you. We also use encryption and other safeguards designed to protect this information and reduce the risk of unauthorized access or re-identification. However, you acknowledge that no method of data handling or transmission is completely secure, and that information that does not directly identify you may, in some circumstances, be capable of being associated with you or your account when combined with other information. While our practices are designed to reduce this risk, we cannot guarantee that re-identification will never occur.

1.4 Cookies

Organizers may also provide information to Gaytherings regarding Membership Events, invitation workflows, application reviews, approvals, denials, waitlists, or other Event-related activities.

In certain circumstances, Gaytherings may process Personal Information on behalf of Organizers in connection with the Services, including Membership Events, application workflows, invitation-based Events, communications, ticketing, or other Organizer-managed activities.

Where applicable under data protection laws, the applicable Organizer may act as the "controller" (or similar designation under applicable law) of certain Personal Information processed through the Services, and Gaytherings may act as a "processor" or "service provider" on behalf of the Organizer with respect to such processing activities.

Gaytherings processes such Personal Information according to the Organizer's instructions as reflected through the functionality of the Services, the applicable agreements between Gaytherings and the Organizer, and our Global Data Processing Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Gaytherings may independently collect, use, retain, and process Personal Information as a separate controller for purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

Users who have questions regarding an Organizer's use of Personal Information should contact the applicable Organizer directly.

2. Sharing and Posting Personal Information on the Services

The Services may allow you to share Personal Information with other Users or make information publicly available, including through profiles, Event participation, or communications. You are solely responsible for any Personal Information that you choose to share through the Services. Once shared, such information may be accessed, collected, copied, or used by other Users or third parties beyond our control. You should not share Personal Information that you wish to keep private or confidential.

While Users are required to comply with the Terms of Service, Gaytherings does not control or guarantee how other Users will use or protect the Personal Information you share with them. Gaytherings may, but is not obligated to, monitor, review, or remove User-submitted content, including Personal Information, at its discretion. If you believe that Personal Information has been improperly posted on the Services, you may contact us, and we may, in our discretion, review and take appropriate action.

• Legal Requirements and Protection of Rights. We may disclose Personal Information if required to do so by law or if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to comply with legal obligations, enforce our Terms of Service or other agreements, or protect the rights, property, or safety of Gaytherings, our Users, or others.

5. How We Secure Your Personal Information

We implement commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect Personal Information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These safeguards are appropriate to the nature of the information and the risks associated with its processing. Access to Personal Information is limited to authorized personnel and service providers who require such access to perform their duties and who are subject to confidentiality and security obligations.

You are responsible for maintaining the security of the email account you use to sign in to the Services, since one-time passcodes are delivered to that email address, and for taking appropriate steps to protect your devices and accounts from unauthorized access. No method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. Accordingly, while we take reasonable measures to protect Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. In the event of a security incident involving Personal Information, we will take reasonable steps to investigate and, where required by applicable law, notify affected individuals and authorities.

If you have questions about security, you may contact us at support@gaytherings.com.

6. Retention of Your Personal Information

We retain Personal Information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to provide and operate the Services, facilitate Events, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Retention periods vary depending on the nature of the information, how it is used, and applicable legal or contractual requirements. For example:

• Account Information. Retained while your account is active and for a reasonable period thereafter.

• Transaction and Event Information. Retained as necessary for Event facilitation, payment processing, and compliance with legal, tax, and accounting obligations.

• User Content and Communications. Retained as necessary to provide the Services and support User interactions.

We may retain Personal Information for longer periods where required or permitted by applicable law, including for compliance, dispute resolution, and enforcement purposes. When Personal Information is no longer required for these purposes, we take reasonable steps to delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it, subject to applicable legal requirements.

7. International Data Transfers

Gaytherings is a company based in the United States. We store Personal Information on servers located in the European Union. Your Personal Information may be accessed, processed, or transferred to the United States or other jurisdictions where we or our service providers operate. Where required by applicable law, we rely on appropriate safeguards for cross-border data transfers, such as standard contractual clauses or other lawful transfer mechanisms. We take reasonable measures to protect Personal Information and to ensure that it is handled in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

By using the Services, you acknowledge that your Personal Information may be transferred to and processed in jurisdictions outside your country of residence, including the United States. Data protection laws in these jurisdictions may differ from those in your country of residence, and we cannot guarantee that they will provide the same level of protection.

9. Third-Party Websites

The Services may contain links to third-party websites or services that are not owned or controlled by Gaytherings. This Privacy Policy does not apply to such third-party websites or services. Inclusion of a link does not imply endorsement of the third-party website or its practices. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party websites. If you access a third-party website through the Services, you do so at your own risk and are subject to the terms and privacy policies of that third party. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party websites before providing Personal Information.

10. Collection of Payment Information

Certain features of the Services, including Events and other paid offerings, require payment processing. All payments made through the Services are processed by our third-party Payment Processor. When you make or receive a payment through the Services, your payment information is collected and processed directly by the Payment Processor. Gaytherings does not store full payment card numbers or bank account details.

The Payment Processor's collection and use of your Personal Information is governed by its own terms and privacy policies. Gaytherings does not control and is not responsible for the Payment Processor's privacy or security practices. We may receive limited information from the Payment Processor, such as transaction identifiers, payment status, and confirmation of successful or failed transactions, which we use to operate the Services, facilitate Events, and maintain transaction records.

If we become aware that a child under 13 has used the Services or provided Personal Information, we will take reasonable steps to delete such information. If you believe that a person under the age of 18 has provided Personal Information through the Services, please contact us at support@gaytherings.com.

12.4 Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information

We do not sell your Personal Information, and we do not share your Personal Information for cross-context behavioral advertising. We use analytics tools solely to understand how Users interact with the Services and to improve performance and functionality. We configure these tools to limit their use of Personal Information and do not use them for targeted advertising purposes.

If you are a California resident, you have the right to request that we not sell or share your Personal Information. Because we do not sell or share Personal Information, there is currently nothing to opt out of. If our data practices change in the future in a way that would constitute a "sale" or "sharing" under applicable law, we will update this Privacy Policy and provide any required rights and opt-out mechanisms, including recognition of opt-out preference signals, before such practices take effect. Questions may be directed to support@gaytherings.com.

12.5 California Minors

The Services are not available to individuals under 18. If, notwithstanding this restriction, a California resident under 18 has publicly posted content or information through the Services, they may have the right under California Business and Professions Code Section 22581 to request its removal. This right applies only to content that the minor personally posted and does not guarantee complete or comprehensive removal, as certain content may be retained as required or permitted by law. To request removal of such content, please contact us at support@gaytherings.com. We may require verification of identity and, where appropriate, may require that such requests be submitted by a parent or legal guardian.

12.6 Browser Privacy Signals

Some web browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting. There is no widely accepted standard for responding to DNT signals, and the Services do not currently respond to them. Because we do not sell or share Personal Information, opt-out preference signals such as Global Privacy Control (GPC) currently have no sale or sharing to act upon. If our practices change, we will honor applicable opt-out preference signals as required by law.

12.7 California's Shine the Light Law
