Introduction
At Guatevent, we are committed to protecting your personal and sensitive user data. This User Data Policy outlines our practices regarding the collection, use, and sharing of your information when you use our Android app. By using Guatevent, you consent to the practices described in this policy.
Personal and Sensitive User Data
Guatevent may collect, access, and use the following types of personal and sensitive user data:
- Personally identifiable information (e.g., name, email address)
- Authentication information (e.g., encrypted passwords)
- Phonebook and contacts
- Microphone and camera access
- Other sensitive device or usage data
Data Handling Practices
Data Limitation: We limit the access, collection, use, and sharing of personal and sensitive user data to app and service functionality and purposes that are reasonably expected by the user.
Advertising Compliance: this app is not advertised, if in the future we use personal and sensitive user data for serving advertisements, we comply with Google Play’s Ads Policy.
Data Transfer: We may transfer data to service providers or for legal reasons, such as complying with governmental requests or applicable laws, with adequate notice to users.
Data Security: We handle all personal and sensitive user data securely, ensuring that it is transmitted using modern cryptography (e.g., over HTTPS).
Runtime Permissions: We use runtime permission requests whenever available before accessing data gated by Android permissions.
No Sale of Data: We do not sell personal and sensitive user data. The term «sale» refers to the exchange or transfer of data to a third party for monetary consideration. User-initiated transfers of data (e.g., sending a file to a third party) are not considered sales.
Prominent Disclosure & Consent Requirement
In situations where our access, collection, use, or sharing of personal and sensitive user data may not align with reasonable user expectations, we adhere to the following requirements:
Prominent Disclosure
We provide an in-app disclosure of our data practices, which includes:
- The disclosure must be within the app and not solely in the app description or on a website.
- It must be displayed during normal app usage and not require navigation to menus or settings.
- It must clearly describe the data being accessed or collected.
- It must explain how the data will be used and/or shared.
- It cannot be included in a privacy policy or terms of service or combined with unrelated disclosures.
Consent and Runtime Permissions
Requests for user consent and runtime permissions will:
- Be preceded by a clear and unambiguous in-app disclosure.
- Require affirmative user action (e.g., tapping to accept or ticking a checkbox).
- Not interpret navigation away from the disclosure as consent.
- Not use auto-dismissing or expiring messages to obtain consent.
- Be granted by the user before we can collect or access personal and sensitive user data.
Example of Prominent Disclosure
- “Guatevent collects location data to enable event tracking and notifications even when the app is closed or not in use.”
- “Guatevent collects contact data to enable event invitations and organization even when the app is in use.”
Third-Party Code Integration
If Guatevent integrates third-party code (e.g., SDKs) that collects personal and sensitive user data by default, we will provide evidence demonstrating compliance with the Prominent Disclosure and Consent requirements within two weeks of a request from Google Play.

We may update this User Data Policy from time to time. We encourage users to review this policy periodically for any changes. Your continued use of Guatevent after any modifications to the policy will constitute your acknowledgment of the changes and your consent to abide by and be bound by the modified policy.
