Privacy Policy

Effective June 2026 · Minesocial OÜ · Registered in Estonia

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how Minesocial OÜ ("we", "our", or "the Company") collects, uses, and protects your personal data when you use the Mine mobile application. Minesocial OÜ is the data controller for your personal data.

We are committed to full compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable data protection laws.

2. Data We Collect

Account Information

  • Email address
  • First name and last name
  • Profile photo
  • Date of birth — collected at registration solely to verify you are at least 16 years old (GDPR Article 8). Stored in your profile only if you give explicit consent during onboarding; otherwise discarded immediately after verification.
  • Gender (optional) — only stored if you give explicit consent during onboarding. Not displayed on your public profile.

Location Data

  • Location is collected while the App is in the foreground.
  • Background location collection is optional and requires your explicit permission via system prompts.
  • Used solely to display real-time crowd density around events. You may deny this permission, the app remains usable with a reduced experience.
  • Location data is automatically purged after 7 rolling days.

User-Generated Content

  • Events you create or mark as attended (stored on our servers)
  • Photos and videos you upload (maximum 10 per user, when exceeded, you choose which to keep)

3. Third-Party Services

  • Google Maps SDK: map display and location rendering. We do not share personal data with Google beyond what is strictly required for this purpose.
  • Apple In-App Purchase & Google Play Billing: for the Mine Pro subscription (€19.99/month). We do not store your payment details. We retain only the minimal transaction metadata required to manage your subscription (transaction ID, product ID, purchase date, and expiry date). Raw payment receipts are never stored on our servers.

We do not use analytics, advertising networks, or social authentication services.

4. Data Storage

Your data is stored on servers located in Switzerland. Switzerland benefits from an EU adequacy decision, ensuring an adequate level of data protection equivalent to the GDPR.

5. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties.

We may share anonymous aggregated data with venue owners and merchants, for example, the total number of users who attended an event or viewed a venue profile. No names, email addresses, or identifiers are included.

6. Your Rights (GDPR)

You have the right to:

  • Access: request a copy of your personal data
  • Rectification: correct inaccurate or incomplete data
  • Erasure: request deletion of your data
  • Portability: receive your data in a machine-readable format
  • Objection: object to processing or profiling

To exercise these rights: use the in-app settings (Account → Delete Account) or contact us at support@minesocial.app.

Account deletion permanently removes your data, including events, photos, and location history. This action cannot be undone.

7. Data Retention

We retain your data only as long as necessary to provide the service, comply with legal obligations, or resolve disputes, unless you request deletion earlier.

  • Location data: automatically purged after 7 rolling days.
  • Date of birth and gender: only retained if you gave explicit consent during onboarding. If consent was not given, these are discarded immediately after age verification and are not stored.

8. Security

We implement technical and organizational measures including encryption and access controls to protect your data against unauthorized access, loss, or alteration.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. The "Effective" date above will reflect the latest version. We will notify users of material changes via in-app notice or email.
