Overview
Summit Scene collects information needed to create accounts, show local events, support community features, review business accounts, moderate reports, and keep the app working.
Information We Collect
- Account information, such as name or business name, email address, password hash, role, town, profile details, avatar, selected languages, interests, social links, email verification status, and business verification status.
- Public content, such as event posts, community posts, buddy or plan posts, replies, public profile information, likes, interests, attendance choices, saved event choices, and business information you choose to share.
- Optional location data, if you grant permission, to help show nearby events and map features. You can deny or disable location permissions through your device settings.
- Safety and moderation data, including reports, blocks, moderation notes, and admin review actions.
- Technical and support data, such as device/app diagnostics, request logs, server errors, support emails, bug reports, and security-related records.
- Authentication and account recovery data, such as email verification tokens, password reset tokens, and email change confirmation records. These tokens are temporary and stored in protected form where applicable.
How We Use Information
- To provide accounts, profiles, events, community posts, maps, replies, saved events, and plan features.
- To review business and organizer accounts.
- To respond to reports, block requests, moderation issues, support requests, and bug reports.
- To improve app safety, reliability, and performance.
- To comply with legal, safety, and platform review obligations.
Service Providers
We may use service providers for hosting, database storage, address lookup or geocoding, authentication, social login, analytics, support, and app operations. These providers process information only as needed to support Summit Scene.
Security Safeguards
No app or online service can guarantee that hacking, unauthorized access, data loss, or misuse will never happen. Summit Scene uses reasonable safeguards to reduce risk and protect accounts.
- Passwords are not stored as plain text. They are stored as password hashes.
- Login sessions use authentication tokens, and password changes invalidate older sessions.
- Email verification, password reset, and email change tokens are temporary and are not intended to be reusable.
- Database access and administrative tools should be limited to people who need access to operate, secure, support, or moderate Summit Scene.
- We use service providers that offer security controls for hosting, database storage, and app operations.
- Users should protect their own account by using a strong unique password, keeping email access secure, and logging out on shared devices.
Developer and Administrator Access
Summit Scene is operated by a developer/admin team. Developer or administrator access to user data is limited to purposes such as running the app, fixing bugs, investigating security issues, responding to support requests, reviewing reports, enforcing community rules, verifying business accounts, and complying with legal obligations.
Developers and administrators should not access, copy, disclose, sell, or use personal information for unrelated personal reasons. Passwords cannot be viewed because the app stores password hashes rather than plain-text passwords.
Public Content
Profiles, events, community posts, replies, business information, and similar content may be visible to other users. Do not post private information you do not want others to see.
Optional profile choices, including community interests, languages, social links, or LGBTQ+ related interests, may reveal personal or sensitive information. Only add details you are comfortable sharing with other users.
Retention and Deletion
You can request account and data deletion. Deletion removes the account and associated app data, except where limited retention is needed for security, abuse prevention, dispute handling, backups, or legal compliance.
Children
Summit Scene accounts are intended for users who are at least 18 years old. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us.
