Privacy policy

Effective 2026-10-24

Summary

FestiGo does not require an account and does not collect personal information. Your data stays on your device and in your own iCloud; saved events are counted anonymously (see below).

Information stored on your device and iCloud

The app stores your saved events, checklist progress, trip dates, check-ins and badges, reminders, departure airport, language choice and the dates of your saved events (to detect schedule changes) on your device. If you are signed in to iCloud, the same data except your language choice is also kept in your own iCloud through Apple's iCloud key-value storage, so it comes back when you switch phones or reinstall. This copy belongs to your Apple Account and we cannot see it. Deleting the app removes the data on your device; you can remove the iCloud copy in your iPhone's iCloud settings.

Save counts

To show how many people have saved an event ("1,284 want to go"), the app sends which events you save, together with a random ID the app creates on first launch, to our server. The ID is not linked to your name, email, device or any other information, and is only used so the same phone is not counted twice. Only the total for each event is ever shown.

Shared lists on this website

When a friend shares a must-go list and you tap "I want to go too", this website stores a random ID in your browser and sends it with that event to our server, the same way the app counts saves. Nothing else about you is sent.

Notifications

If you allow notifications, booking reminders are scheduled on your device. No push token or notification data is sent to us.

Event data

The app downloads the public event list from our server (hosted by Supabase). This request does not include any personal identifier. Like any web request, our hosting provider may briefly log technical information such as IP address for security and reliability.

Links to partners

Links to flights, hotels, tours, eSIMs, insurance and transfers open the partner's website (for example Trip.com or KKday) inside the app. The link includes our affiliate ID so the partner can credit us for bookings. Once you are on a partner's site, its own privacy policy applies, and it may use cookies to track the referral.

Analytics and advertising

FestiGo does not use third-party analytics, advertising or tracking SDKs, and does not track you across other companies' apps or websites.

Location

FestiGo only uses your location when you tap "Check in" on an event, and only with your permission while the app is open. It reads your position once to confirm you are near the venue during the event. The comparison happens on your device; your location is never uploaded or stored, only the fact that you checked in. Your departure airport is chosen manually.

Children

FestiGo is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect information from them.

Changes

If this policy changes, we will update this page and the effective date.
