Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

HouseUgps ("we," "our," or "us") operates the website www.houseugps.com and the HouseUgps mobile application (collectively, the "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our Service. Please read it carefully. By using the Service, you agree to the practices described here.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information in the following ways:

• Account information: When you sign in via a third-party OAuth provider (Google, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft), we receive your name, email address, and profile picture as provided by that service. We do not receive or store your password.
• Usage data: We collect information about how you interact with the Service, including pages viewed, events saved, searches performed, and approximate location (city/region level) when you use the "Near Me" feature.
• Event submissions: If you submit an event, we collect the event details you provide, including name, date, venue, city, state, and DJ lineup.
• Payment information: If you purchase a subscription or promotional service, payments are processed by Stripe. We do not store full card numbers or CVV codes. We retain only the Stripe customer ID and subscription status necessary to manage your account.
• Device and log data: We automatically collect standard log data such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, and referring URLs for security and analytics purposes.

3. How We Use Your Information

• To detect and prevent fraud or abuse
• To comply with legal obligations

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

4. Sharing of Information

We may share your information with:

• Service providers: Third-party vendors who help us operate the Service (e.g., Stripe for payments, cloud hosting providers). These parties are contractually obligated to protect your data.
• OAuth providers: When you sign in, your login is handled by the provider you choose (Google, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft) under their respective privacy policies.
• Legal requirements: We may disclose information if required by law or in response to valid legal process.

5. Cookies and Analytics

We use session cookies to keep you logged in. We may use privacy-respecting analytics tools to understand aggregate usage patterns. We do not use third-party advertising cookies or cross-site tracking.
