Effective Date: [04/08/2025]

Last Modified: [04/08/2025]

Transparency in how your personal information is collected and used is a core value for us. We want you to understand exactly what information you are providing and what we do with that information. Under no circumstances do we sell your personal information to any third party.

This Privacy Policy explains how OutThere Collective LLC ("we", "our", "us") collects, uses, stores, protects, and shares your personal information when you use or interact with our services, including our mobile application and website (collectively, "OutThere").

INFORMATION WE COLLECT
We collect information from you when you use or access OutThere. This includes information you provide to us and information we collect automatically. We may also combine those two types of information with the same types of information that another user provides us about you.

Information you provide to us

  • Account Information. When you create an OutThere account, you provide us with your name, username, password, and email address. You may also choose to provide information about your interests or preferences in relation to our services. If you register as a business on OutThere, you may also provide your phone number.
  • Content you create. After signing up for an OutThere account, you can create and upload content to the service. For example, you can create events that are displayed in the service. When you create an event, you may provide information about the event, including when and where it is occurring, an event description, and other information about the event. You may also upload and share files that are connected to the event.
  • Actions you take in our services. We collect information about how you use OutThere and your activities on the services. This information includes which features of the services that you engage with and users, events, or communities you may interact with.
  • Other information you chose to provide. You may have the ability to submit additional information as you use our services.This additional information includes things like feedback or information that you submit to our support teams.

Information we collect automatically

  • Device information. When you access our services, we may collect information about your device such as your IP address, operating system, browser information, and information about your device settings.
  • Location information. If you choose to share your location, we derive an approximate location based on your mobile device’s GPS.
  • How you use our services. We collect log and usage information related to how and when you use our services, like how you engage with features, events, and communities.
  • Other information. When you interact with features outside our services but related to our services, we may receive information about you. For example, if you click on a shared link that takes you to an event or profile on OutThere, we may receive information about the source of that link.

HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION
We use your information to:

  • Provide, maintain, and improve our services and develop new services;
  • Personalize our services, content, and features to match your activities, preferences, and settings;
  • Ensure the safety of our services, users, and community;
  • Provide customer service;
  • Communicate with you about our services, including events and communities you have engaged with.

HOW WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION
We share your information:

  • With your consent. We may share your information at your direction. For example, if you create an event on OutThere, we publish that event in our application. The details of an event can be accessed by both users with and without an account that are in the geographic radius for an event. When you express that you are going to an event on OutThere or follow a community, your name and username are shared with the event or community host. If you have an OutThere account, you may also choose to share your profile with other users.
  • With service providers. We may provide information to third party service providers that we hire to perform specific work for us, like payment processors or cloud providers.
  • To comply with the law. We may disclose information if we believe disclosure is in accordance with, or required by, any applicable law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, including, but not limited to, meeting national security or law enforcement requirements. To the extent the law allows it, we will attempt to provide you with prior notice before disclosing your information in response to such a request.
  • In an emergency. We may share information if we believe it's necessary to prevent imminent and serious bodily harm to a person.
  • In an aggregated or de-identified form. We may disclose information that has been aggregated or anonymized such that it cannot reasonably be used to identify you. For example, we may share aggregated user statistics in order to describe our business or show how many users are attending an event.
