At Eventecho, we are committed to maintaining the trust and confidence of our visitors to our web site and users of our mobile applications, applications and related services. In particular, we want you to know that Eventecho does not sell, rent or trade your personal information with other companies and businesses for marketing purposes or any other purposes unrelated to Eventecho. In the remainder of this document, we outline in detail, when and why we collect your personal information, how we use it, the limited conditions under which we may disclose it to others and how we keep it secure.
This privacy policy discloses the privacy practices of Eventecho, the website located at https://www.eventecho.com, the Eventecho mobile applications, and the related services, applications, and websites owned or operated by Eventecho Inc., and its corporate affiliates (collectively, "Eventecho", "we", "our", "us" or the "Service").
We collect information directly from individuals and automatically through Eventecho service. The types of information that we collect fall under two general categories:
Personally Identifiable Information (PII), which consists of any information which can be used to specifically identify you as an individual, such as your name, email, username, or a photo displaying you.
Non-personally identifiable information (non-PII), consists of aggregate information or any information that does not reveal your identity.
When you create an account and profile on Eventecho, we collect your username, name, and email address. Your username, photo and other information that you add to your profile will be available for viewing to users of Eventecho. Once you become a user on Eventecho, other users will be able to see your profile information and activity on Eventecho, such as your bio and the events and crews your create. The amount of information shown is dependent on your profile's privacy setting as shown below in Privacy Controls.
We collect and store the information and media content that you post to Eventecho, including your events, crews, photos, video and comments. The visibility of your content and information is controlled by your Privacy Controls. If your content visibility is set to 'public', it is viewable by all users of Eventecho and viewers not on Eventecho and may be indexed by search engines and be republished elsewhere on the Internet.
We may maintain a record of your communication if you contact us through email, phone, through Eventecho platforms, or otherwise.
On Eventecho you are allowed to sign in with Apple, Google, or Microsoft. These are your email service providers. We use them to provide a secure means of signing in or signing up to Eventecho. We only collect and store the basic profile information (i.e. email address and name) shared from these service providers.
We require an email address from you when you register for the Service. We use your email both for transactional purposes (e.g., activity updates such as notices that a user invited you on the Service) and for promotional purposes (e.g., newsletters, new product offerings, event notifications, special third-party offers). Email messages we send you may contain code that enables our database to track your usage of the emails, including whether the email was opened and what links (if any) were clicked. If you would rather not receive promotional emails from us, please see the section below labeled "Choice/Opt-Out". We reserve the right to send you certain communications, such as service announcements and administrative messages, without offering you the opportunity to opt out of receiving them. We may also contact you by text message (including to any wireless number you may provide to us) solely in connection with the Service. If you would rather not receive text messages from us, you may change or delete your number from your "Account Settings" page, or ask to be removed from our contact list if you receive a call or text message from us. We fully comply with the requirements of the U.S. CAN-SPAM Act.
Demographic data is also collected by Eventecho. We use this data to tailor our visitors' experience, showing them content that we think they might be interested in, and displaying the content according to their preferences.
We may periodically conduct voluntary member surveys. We encourage our members to participate in such surveys because they provide us with important information regarding the improvement of Eventecho. You may also volunteer for certain surveys that we may offer to our users, and any additional rules regarding the conduct of such surveys will be disclosed to you prior to your participation.

On Eventecho, we respect the privacy of your personal information and the content you post. As such, we devised controls that sets the amount of visibility information or content may have. These visibility controls are categorized as: Public, Private, Secret, Crew-Visible.
For most content that you will post, you may set its visibility to 'public', 'private', or 'crew-visible'. If it is set to 'public', anyone on or off Eventecho may view it. If an event is 'private', only the guests of the event may view it. Similarly, if a crew is 'private', only the members of the crew or approved followers may view it. When content is set to 'crew-visible', the members of the crew you are in may view it. Only an event can be secret. If it is set to 'secret', a pass-phrase will be needed to view the event.
Any sub-content (comments, photos, video or other media) posted to an event or crew or other parent content is subject to the parent's visibility setting.
In the case of an invitation sent via a link, unless its content was set to 'public', the invitation will request its viewer to sign in to Eventecho to fully evaluate their ability to view the content. While care must be taken when inviting people to events, crews, etc. via link from Eventecho, it is possible to make an invitation's shared link invalid, by tapping "Revoke Link".
