Eventmapster is operated as a personal project at eventmapster.com. We're a community-driven map for discovering and sharing local events — holiday light displays, food trucks, yard sales, neighborhood markets, and similar happenings. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and your rights.

If you have questions about this policy, contact us at [email protected].

What we collect

When you sign in with Facebook, we receive your name, email address, profile picture, and Facebook user ID from Facebook.

When you use the service, we store the listings you submit (event title, description, address, dates, photos), photos you upload, and any host profile details you create.

Automatically, we collect your browser-reported geolocation only when you grant permission, and we use it to center the map on you. We do not store geolocation. We also receive basic device and browser information through normal server logs (e.g., IP address, request times). One HttpOnly authentication cookie is set on your browser when you log in.

How we use it

We use this information to:

• Display listings on a public map and in search results.
• Authenticate you and keep you signed in.
• Show your host profile to other users so they can find your events.
• Run the import-from-URL feature when you trigger it.

Third-party processors

We share data with the following providers, each of which handles data per its own policies:

• Cloudflare — hosts the website (Cloudflare Pages), stores listing photos (R2), and serves images via CDN at cdn.eventmapster.com.
• Railway — hosts the backend service and the Postgres database.
• Facebook (Meta) — provides OAuth login.
• Anthropic — Claude API extracts event details from images you choose to import.
• Google — Places API geocodes addresses you submit and validates locations.

We do not sell your personal information.

What's public

Listings, host profiles, and listing photos are visible to anyone who visits the site — that's the point of the service. Your email address and Facebook user ID are not displayed publicly.

Cookies

We use one strictly-necessary cookie: an HttpOnly authentication cookie that keeps you signed in. We do not use advertising or analytics cookies.

Your rights

You can:

• View and edit data tied to your account through your profile page.
• Delete your account, which soft-deletes the listings you submitted.
• Email [email protected] to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your data.

Children

The service is not directed to anyone under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.

International users

Eventmapster is operated from the United States, and your data is processed in the United States.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we'll change the "Last updated" date at the top.
