Privacy Policy
Last updated: 26 September 2026
Socializing Events and Media F.Z.E (“we”, “us”), known as Socializing UAE, operates the Socializing mobile app and this website. This policy explains what information we collect, why we use it, and the choices you have.
This website
The website does not offer accounts or login. It loads the public events list from our API and shows event details such as title, description, date, location, host name, image, topics, and price. The Join button only opens the Google Play or Apple App Store so you can download the app. We do not use advertising cookies on this site.
Information the app collects
- Account. Name, email address, and a hashed password. If you continue with Google, we store the Google account identifier needed to sign you in.
- Profile. Photo, bio, country, city, gender, date of birth, and interests, when you choose to add them.
- Location. If you allow it, approximate location is used to show events in the nearest city and to set a venue. We do not continuously track your location in the background.
- Events and tickets. Events you host or join, attendance, ticket details, and check-in scans.
- Messages. Chat content you send to other users.
- Payments and points. Ticket purchases, points balance, and related records. Card payments are processed by Stripe. We do not store your full card number.
- Photos and camera. Used only when you upload a profile photo or an event image.
- Notifications. A device token so we can send event reminders and updates if you allow notifications.
- Security. If you turn on an authenticator, we store an encrypted secret and hashed backup codes.
How we use information
We use this information to run the app: create accounts, show events, sell and scan tickets, deliver messages, award points, send the notifications you allow, process payments, prevent abuse, and reply to support requests.
Who we share it with
Other users can see the profile details and event activity the app is designed to show, such as your name on an event you host. We also use service providers that process data for us, including Stripe for card payments, Cloudinary for images, our email provider for account messages, Google for sign-in, and Firebase for push notifications. We do not sell personal information.
How long we keep it
We keep account and event data while your account is active. You can delete your account in the app, or follow the account deletion page if you no longer have the app. Deletion removes your account and the related data the app controls, including events you organized, tickets, and messages you sent. Stripe may keep payment records where tax, accounting, or fraud-prevention laws require it. Photo files you uploaded may remain with our image provider, Cloudinary, after they are no longer linked to your account.
Children
Socializing is not directed at children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. Contact us if you believe a child has created an account.
Your choices
You can update profile details in the app, turn location and notifications off in your phone settings, and delete your account from Settings. The account deletion page lists the steps, what is deleted or kept, and how to ask us to delete some data without closing your account. You may also email us to ask about the personal information we hold.
