Gather — Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 2026

Gather is a social calendar app built to help you plan time with the people you care about, without the pressure of an overfull week. This page explains what information Gather collects, how it's used, and the choices you have.

Information we collect

When you create an account, Gather collects:

• Your email address and password
• Your first and last name, and the username (handle) you choose
• A profile photo, if you choose to add one

As you use the app, Gather stores the content you create, including:

• Events you add — titles, locations, notes, links, dates, and times
• Your stated preferences, like your ideal weekly social rhythm and social energy level
• Your friend connections, and the visibility settings you choose for each friend (for example, whether they see your full event details or just that you're busy)
• RSVP responses to events you're invited to

Gather does not collect your device's location. Any location shown on an event is text you typed in yourself.

How we use this information

We use your information solely to provide Gather's core features: showing your calendar, sharing the parts of it you choose with friends, sending event invites, and gently helping you notice when your week is fuller than you'd like.

We do not use your information for advertising, and we do not sell your information to anyone.

Who we share information with

Gather uses a small number of service providers to run the app. They process data on our behalf and are not permitted to use it for their own purposes:

• Supabase — hosts our database, handles account authentication, and stores uploaded profile photos.
• Resend — delivers account-related emails, such as confirming your email address or resetting your password. Resend only receives the email address needed to send that specific message.

Beyond these service providers, your information is only shared with other Gather users according to the privacy settings you choose for each friend and event.

Your choices and controls

• You can edit your name, username, and profile photo at any time from your Account page.
• You can control what each friend sees of your calendar — from just "busy" to full details — individually, at any time.
• You can mark any event as extra private, visible only to people you've specifically invited.
• You can delete your account at any time from your Account page. This permanently removes your profile and account information.

Children's privacy

Gather is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes in a meaningful way, we'll update the date at the top of this page.
