Privacy Policy

How we collect, use, and protect your information.

This privacy policy describes how Clique ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use the Clique mobile application and related services.

Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly and information generated through your use of the app:

  • Name, username, and email address
  • Profile photo
  • Age and gender (optional)
  • Location (city or neighborhood)
  • Plans and cliques you create or join
  • Messages sent in plan and clique chats
  • RSVP and attendance history

Device Permissions

The Clique app may request the following device permissions. All permissions are optional unless noted, and you can manage them in your device settings at any time.

Camera

Used to take profile photos and share images within plans and cliques. We do not store images beyond what you explicitly upload.

Photo Library

Used to select photos from your device for your profile or to share within the app. We only access photos you explicitly choose.

Location

Used to show nearby plans and events, and to associate plans with a general area. We do not continuously track your location in the background.

Contacts

Used to help you find friends who are already on Clique. Contact data is used only to match against existing Clique accounts and is never stored on our servers or shared with third parties.

Calendar

Used to add plans you are attending to your device calendar. We only write calendar events at your explicit request and do not read your existing calendar data.

How We Use Your Information

  • Create and manage your account
  • Display your profile to other users
  • Connect you with plans and cliques near you
  • Enable messaging within plans and cliques
  • Send notifications about plans you have joined or been invited to
  • Improve the app and personalize your experience
  • Respond to support requests

Email & Marketing

Clique uses two separate email systems:

  • Transactional email (sign-in codes, plan reminders, replies in your plans) — sent through Resend.
  • Marketing email (weekly newsletter with featured events, occasional product announcements) — sent through Loops.

When you sign up, your email is added to our marketing list in Loops. We send a weekly newsletter on Sundays featuring upcoming events in your area, and we may send occasional product announcements.

You can unsubscribe at any time using the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of any marketing email, or by toggling the “Weekly newsletter” switch off in the app under Settings. Unsubscribing from marketing email does not affect transactional emails.

We do not sell or rent your email address to third parties. Loops and Resend act as processors under contract with us and only use your data to deliver the emails we send.

Push Notifications

With your permission, Clique sends push notifications about plans you’ve joined, messages in your cliques, friend requests, and occasional product announcements (for example, when new features are available). You can turn these off in your device’s system settings or under the app’s notifications settings.

How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information in the following limited circumstances:

  • With other Clique users, as part of normal app functionality (e.g., your name and profile photo are visible to plan and clique members)
  • With service providers who help us operate the app (e.g., Supabase for data storage, Expo for push notifications) — these providers are contractually prohibited from using your data for any other purpose
  • When required by law or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Clique or its users

Data Retention

We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us at privacy@cliqueventures.co. We will process deletion requests within 30 days.

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. All data is transmitted over encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS).

Children's Privacy

Clique is not intended for users under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us immediately.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate data
  • Request deletion of your data
  • Opt out of certain data uses

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@cliqueventures.co.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes via the app or email. Continued use of Clique after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
