What information do we collect?

 

When you use Buddy, we collect the following types of information from you:

 

• Personal information: This includes your email, password, name, and birthday.

• Profile information: This includes your profile picture, nickname, bio, and number of friends. We use this information to display your profile to other users who may want to connect with you.

You can control who can see your profile information by adjusting your privacy settings in the app.

• Event information: This includes the event name, event location, event time, and invited people for each event that you create or join. We use this information to facilitate the events and to notify you and the other participants about the event details. We store this information on our servers and on your device's storage. We do not share this information with anyone who is not a member of the event. If the event owner deletes the event after it is completed, the other participants will still be able to see the event details on their device's storage.
