Privacy Policy

Tana is a mobile app for discovering, joining, and hosting real-world events. Tana is operated by a sole proprietor based in the Philippines ("Tana", "we", "us"). This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, store, and share information when you use the Tana app and our website at tana-app.com.

If you have questions, contact us at tanaapp2026@gmail.com.

Information we collect

Depending on how you use Tana, we may collect:

• Account information: email address, password (if you sign up with email), username, name, birthday, gender, bio, phone number, profile photo, and gallery images you choose to upload.
• Sign-in with Google: If you choose Google sign-in, we receive information from Google consistent with the scopes you approve (typically openid, email, and profile), such as your name, email address, and profile picture. We use this to create or sign you in to your Tana account and to display your profile. Authentication is handled through Supabase; Google redirects to Supabase, not directly to our servers.
• Sign-in with Facebook: If enabled and you choose Facebook sign-in, we receive basic profile information from Facebook as permitted by that provider and your settings.
• Location: With your permission, device location to show nearby events and your city. You may also save location preferences for notifications (for example, nearby event alerts).
• Events and social activity: events you create or join, responses to host questions, comments, likes, reviews, friend connections, follows, invites, and reports you submit.
• Messages: text and images you send in event chat threads.
• Photos and files: images you upload for profiles, events, messages, or support requests; file answers to join questions where supported.
• Notifications: in-app notification history and your notification preferences; push notification tokens for your devices.
• Purchases: subscription status and related identifiers from Apple App Store, Google Play, and our subscription partner (RevenueCat). We do not receive your full payment card number from the stores.
• Support: information you provide in help or support tickets, including optional screenshots.
• Technical data: basic device and app information needed to operate the service, secure accounts, and deliver notifications.

How we use information

We use information to:

• Provide, maintain, and improve Tana (events, maps, chat, notifications).
• Create and manage your account and authenticate you.
• Personalize your experience (for example, nearby events and interests).
• Process subscriptions and Premium features.
• Send transactional messages (such as magic-link email when you request sign-in).
• Enforce our Terms, protect users, and respond to reports and support requests.
• Comply with law and protect our rights and users' safety.

Google user data

If you sign in with Google, our use of Google user data is limited to providing and improving Tana account and profile features described in this policy. We do not sell Google user data. We do not use Google user data for advertising. We do not allow humans to read Google user data except where necessary to provide support, comply with law, or with your consent.

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information:

• With other users according to your actions and event settings (for example, profile details visible to event hosts or participants, public event details).
• With service providers who help us run Tana under contractual obligations to protect data, including Supabase (auth and database), Cloudflare (hosting and media storage), Mapbox (maps and geocoding), Expo (push delivery infrastructure), RevenueCat (subscriptions), Apple and Google (app distribution and billing), and email delivery providers for sign-in emails.
• For legal reasons if required by law or to protect rights, safety, and security.
• In a business transfer if the Tana app or its operations are transferred to another operator, with notice where required by law.

Retention and deletion

We retain information while your account is active and as needed to provide the service, resolve disputes, and meet legal obligations. You may request account deletion in the app; we will delete or anonymize personal information in line with our deletion process (for example, replacing identifiable fields with placeholders where full erasure is not possible for legal or technical reasons).

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

Your choices

• You can update profile information in the app.
• You can control location and notification permissions in device settings.
• You can manage notification categories in Tana settings.
• You can use email sign-in instead of Google if you prefer.

Children

Tana is not intended for users below 18 to create an account in their jurisdiction. We require users to meet our minimum signup age in the app.

International processing

Our service providers may process data in countries other than the Philippines. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers.

Philippines Data Privacy Act

As a personal information controller, we process personal information in accordance with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) and related regulations. You may contact us to exercise applicable rights (such as access, correction, or objection) subject to legal limits.

Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated policy on this page and update the "Last updated" date. Continued use of Tana after changes means you accept the updated policy.
