  3. Location Information: If you indicate that you are on your way to an event and choose to approve access to location information, your live location and recent location history will be transmitted to our servers and shared with other users who both have a mutually-approved friend connection with and are permitted to access the same event. Location data is retained on our servers for approximately 12 hours and then permenantly deleted.

  2. Friends: If a user already knows your full phone number, they can send you a friend request and will then see your first and last name under their pending friend requests list. Once you approve their friend request, they will be able to see your full name and RSVP states within any events you both have access to.

  3. Event Content: Comments or other content you post to an event may be visible alongside your first name to anyone with access to that event. Your full name will only be made visible to users you have a mutually-approved friend connection with. Location data shared to an event is only ever visible to users you have a mutually-approved friend connection with.
