How Lymme collects, uses, and protects information.

1. Scope and overview

Lymme is an event platform built for the Black community. Depending on which part of the service you use, we may help you join Lymme, create an account, authenticate through a supported social provider, host events, RSVP as a guest, buy tickets, post to the public Vibe Feed, or receive event and product updates.

This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, when we share it, the choices you have, and how public event features work.

2. Information we collect

Information you give us

• Join information, including your email address and the community you select.
• Account and identity information, including your name, username, profile photo, social provider identifier, and related information returned by Facebook, Google, Instagram, or X when you choose to connect a provider.
• Organizer information, including organization details, event details, messaging content, ticketing setup, and theme selections.
• Guest and event participation information, including RSVP status, ticket selections, invite responses, guest management tokens, and support inquiries.
• Content you submit, including profile content, event descriptions, public Vibe Feed posts, reactions, uploaded media, and other content you choose to share.
• Transactional and communications data, such as messages we send you, your communication preferences, and your responses to those messages.

Information we collect automatically

• Device, browser, app, and log information such as IP address, request metadata, timestamps, approximate location derived from IP, and usage diagnostics.
• Session, cookie, local storage, and similar technical data used to keep you signed in, secure the product, prevent abuse, remember preferences, and operate the app.
• Interaction data such as the pages or screens you view, links you click, events you open, and features you use.

Information from third parties

• Social sign-in providers when you connect Facebook, Google, Instagram, or X.
• Payment and infrastructure providers when ticketing, subscriptions, notifications, hosting, support, or communications features are used.
• Organizers, inviters, or collaborators who invite you to an event or add you to an organization workflow.

3. How we use information

• Operate, maintain, and improve Lymme and the event tools we provide.
• Create and manage accounts, authenticate users, link social identities, and secure sessions.
• Process community signups, RSVP flows, event invites, ticketing, and other organizer or guest actions.
• Send transactional messages, product updates, reminders, welcome emails, and support responses.
• Moderate content, detect abuse, investigate fraud, and protect the safety, security, and integrity of the platform.
• Analyze product usage, debug issues, measure performance, and plan future features.
• Comply with law, enforce our Terms of Service, and protect rights, property, and users.

4. Public features and visibility

Some parts of Lymme are designed to be public by default. Public event pages, public Vibe Feed posts, public reactions, event titles, organizer names, public guest counts, event archives, and similar event-facing content may be visible to other users, guests, search engines, and the general public depending on the event settings and product mode.

If you post to a public event surface or create an event intended for public access, do not include information you do not want shared publicly. Organizers are responsible for the content they publish and the event settings they choose.

5. How we share information

• With event organizers, collaborators, and guests when needed to run the event, process RSVPs, manage attendance, or display event content.
• With vendors and service providers that help us provide hosting, authentication, communications, customer support, analytics, payments, fraud prevention, and infrastructure services.
• With connected third-party platforms when you choose to authenticate or otherwise link an external account.
• When required by law, legal process, or a good-faith belief that disclosure is necessary to protect rights, safety, or the platform.
• In connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, subject to appropriate confidentiality and notice practices.

We do not sell personal information in the ordinary meaning of the word sell. If we ever engage in a practice that applicable law treats as a sale or as sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising, we will provide any notices and choices required by law.

6. Cookies, local storage, and similar technologies

We use cookies, local storage, pixels, session identifiers, and similar technologies to operate the service, keep you signed in, remember preferences, secure flows such as social authentication, understand product performance, and support diagnostics and fraud prevention. Some browsers let you limit or block certain technologies, but parts of the service may not function correctly if you do.

7. Data retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including to provide the service, maintain event records, protect the platform, comply with law, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Retention periods vary based on the feature, the sensitivity of the information, whether the content is public, and legal or operational requirements.

8. Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live and the way you use Lymme, you may have the right to access, know, correct, delete, or receive a copy of certain personal information, and you may have rights relating to sale, sharing, targeted advertising, or the use of sensitive personal information. We also will not discriminate against you for exercising rights that apply to you.

To make a request, contact us at hello@lymme.fun. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request.

9. Children's privacy

Lymme is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without legally required parental consent. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 in a way that requires deletion, we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

10. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. International use

Lymme is currently operated from the United States. If you access the service from outside the United States, you understand that your information may be processed and stored in the United States and other jurisdictions where our service providers operate.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will post the updated version here and update the effective date. Where required by law, we will provide additional notice.
