POTLUCK was created to give users a safe and convenient way to organize events and outings with their loved ones and connections. POTLUCK believes that the memories and photos of those shared experiences deserve to be secure and protected as well. We are committed to providing our users with the best possible data protection for the security and privacy of their personal relationships and shared experiences.
To use POTLUCK, you’ll need to provide your First and Last Name, email address or mobile phone number, and all information related to the event(s) you are hosting including location information. If you choose to send individual invitations via SMS text or email, you will also need to provide the First Name, Last Name, and either email address or mobile phone number of each guest that receives an invitation. In lieu of individual guest invitations, you do have the ability to share out the URL link of your event to gather RSVP's without providing guest information.
Guests will need to provide their First Name and Last Name along with either an email address or mobile phone number to RSVP to an event. This is simply so you can know who is attending, and they can receive event notifications.
No other personal data is required to use POTLUCK.
While not required, you may choose to provide additional information to customize your experience. This could include your home address or photos and event details for your guests that may or may not include personal information.
In addition to the information you provide to us, we may also collect data from your device. This might include your operating system, device ID, IP address, POTLUCK usage log, etc.
There are also a few instances where we collect information from other platforms such as analytics software that gives us performance and usage data, email software that handles notifications, and payment processing software that collects payment and membership data. Payment data including credit card numbers are not stored within POTLUCK servers.
We do not buy or sell any data. Period.
