The data controller is YEPPO, reachable at info@yeppo.it.

2. Data We Collect

We collect the following categories of data:

  • Voluntarily provided data: email address, venue name, phone number, owner/company name — provided through the sponsor registration form at /business.
  • Anonymous session data: a random identifier generated locally (localStorage) to associate swipe sessions. We do not collect names, emails, or other identifying data from regular app users.
  • Location data: approximate geographic location (latitude/longitude) is used solely to find nearby places and is never persistently stored linked to the user.
  • Payment data: payment data is processed exclusively by Stripe, Inc. and does not transit through or get stored on our servers. We refer to the Stripe Privacy Policy.

3. Purpose and Legal Basis

  • Service provision (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR): we use data to deliver the requested service.
  • Contractual and legal compliance (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR): for sponsors, data is necessary for contract execution and legal obligations.
  • Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR): aggregate analysis to improve the service, abuse prevention.

4. Data Retention

Sponsor data is retained for the duration of the contract and for the subsequent 10 years as required by applicable tax regulations. Anonymous session data is automatically deleted after 90 days of inactivity.

  • Supabase, Inc. — database infrastructure (EU servers).
  • Stripe, Inc. — payment processor.
  • Vercel, Inc. — web application hosting.
  • Google LLC — Google Maps/Places API for nearby place search.

All providers operate as Data Processors under Art. 28 GDPR with adequate contractual safeguards.

6. International Transfers

Some providers (Stripe, Vercel, Google) may transfer data to third countries. Such transfers occur in compliance with Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission (Art. 46 GDPR).

We do not use profiling or marketing cookies. For more information see our Cookie Policy.

9. Security

We adopt appropriate technical and organisational measures (TLS encryption, role-based access control, monitoring) to protect personal data from unauthorised access, loss or disclosure.
