We may share information with:

• Service providers such as hosting (e.g. Vercel), database, email (e.g. Resend), payments (Stripe), maps, media storage, and authentication partners — only as needed to run the Service
• The public — published event content and public profile details you choose to show
• Legal / safety — when required by law or to protect rights, users, or the Service

We do not sell your personal information as a standalone product.

We use essential cookies for login sessions and site functionality. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling some cookies may break sign-in or other features.

You can unsubscribe from marketing or newsletter emails using the link in those messages (when provided) or by contacting us. Transactional messages related to your account or purchases may still be sent.

We keep account and listing data while your account is active and as needed for operations, legal, and backup purposes. You may request deletion of your account by emailing us; some records may be retained where required (e.g. payment history).

The Service is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Contact us if you believe we have such information.

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information, or to object to certain processing. Email hello@theatlantacalendar.com to make a request. We may need to verify your identity.

We may update this Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of the Service after updates means you accept the revised Policy.
