Privacy Policy

Data we collect

Sign-up data (name, username, email, birth date), content you publish (reviews, ratings, photos, comments), and basic usage data to improve the app.

How we use your data

To operate the app's features (feed, profile, notifications), moderate content (including processing reports and blocks), and communicate with you about your account.

Contacts (optional)

If you use "Find friends", we request access to your address book only at that moment. Contacts are NOT uploaded or stored: the app converts each email/phone into an irreversible code (SHA-256 hash) on your device and sends only those codes to check which ones match existing Stave accounts.

You can turn off contact discoverability in your profile settings.

Location (optional)

Location is used only to sort the events in the "Search" tab by proximity. You can deny the permission and keep using the app normally, filtering by region, state and city.

Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. Public content (reviews, profile) is visible to other users according to your privacy settings (e.g. private account).

Reports and moderation

When you report a piece of content or a user, we log that report (with your id, the target, and the reason) so our team can investigate and act within 24 hours.

Your rights

You can edit your profile, delete reviews, block users, and delete your account (along with all associated data) at any time, directly in the app's settings.

Security

We use standard security practices (authentication, access-controlled database) to protect your data.
