Privacy Policy
Last updated August 2026
Your trust matters as much on the data side as it does on verification and payments. Here's exactly what we collect, why, and the choices you have.
1. Overview
This Privacy Policy describes how Eventa collects, uses, and shares information when you use our website, apps, and services (the "Platform"), whether you're browsing as a client or listing as a host.
2. Data we collect
Account information: name, email, phone number, password (stored as a hash, never in plain text), and profile photo if you add one.
Verification data: for hosts, identity documents processed through our payment processor's KYC flow (these are handled by our processor and not stored on Eventa's own servers), plus business documents (registration, licenses, insurance) you upload for review.
Booking and payment data: booking details, messages between clients and hosts, and payment metadata (we never see or store full card numbers — those are handled directly by our payment processor).
Usage data: pages viewed, searches made, device and browser information, and approximate location derived from IP address, collected automatically as you use the Platform.
3. How we use it
- Operate the marketplace — matching searches to listings, processing bookings and payouts;
- Verify host identity and business claims, per our Trust & Safety standards;
- Communicate booking confirmations, receipts, and account notifications;
- Detect and prevent fraud, duplicate listings, and policy violations;
- Improve the Platform through aggregated, de-identified usage analysis.
6. Data retention
We keep account and booking data for as long as your account is active and for a period afterward to meet legal, tax, and dispute-resolution obligations. Verification documents are retained per the requirements of the jurisdictions we operate in and are never made public.
7. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data, and to object to or restrict certain processing. You can manage most of this directly from your account settings, or contact us to make a request.
If you're in the European Economic Area or UK, you have rights under the GDPR/UK GDPR. If you're a California resident, you have rights under the CCPA. We honor these rights regardless of where you're located.
8. Children's privacy
Eventa isn't directed at anyone under 18, and we don't knowingly collect data from children.
9. International transfers
Eventa operates across multiple countries. Your data may be processed in a country other than the one you live in; where required, we use appropriate safeguards for these transfers.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be notified through the Platform or by email before they take effect.
