To operate the service — showing events, coordinating group attendance around shared event experiences, and facilitating group chats connected to events. We do not use your information to build romantic or dating profiles.
Your name and consented RSVP information may be shared with an event organizer only when you choose to share it. We do not sell your personal information. Aggregate, de-identified data may be used for analytics.
Group chat messages are visible to members of that group. We may retain messages for safety investigations and to enforce our policies.
If you report a safety concern, we use that information to review and take appropriate action. Reports may be retained after resolution for safety and policy enforcement.
You can update your display name in your profile and delete your saved events and ratings. You can contact us to request deletion of your account and data, subject to legal retention requirements.

If you voluntarily provide your mobile phone number, Gather may use it to send SMS communications you have specifically opted into, including event updates, reminders, organizer communications, and related Gather messages. Your mobile number and SMS opt-in/consent information will not be shared, sold, rented, or provided to third parties or affiliates for their marketing or promotional purposes. Gather may use service providers, such as telecommunications providers, solely as necessary to deliver the requested messaging services. Message frequency varies depending on your subscriptions, RSVPs, events, and communication preferences. Message and data rates may apply. You may opt out at any time by replying STOP to any message, or reply HELP for assistance. You may also manage your SMS preferences at any time in Gather's communication settings. Organizers communicate through Gather and do not receive or see your private phone number.
We may update this policy. Material changes will be reflected in a new version.
