3. Analytics and Tracking

We use analytics tools to understand how users interact with our App. This helps us improve features, fix issues, and provide a better experience. Analytics data is collected anonymously and does not directly identify you as an individual.

5. Data Sharing and Third Parties

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We may share information in the following circumstances:

Service Providers

We work with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating the App, including services for authentication, data storage, analytics, maps, and app distribution. These providers are contractually obligated to protect your data.

Aggregated Data

We may share aggregated, anonymized analytics with venue partners (e.g., total impressions, click-through rates) that cannot identify individual users.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose information when required by law, legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Haven, our users, or others.

6. Data Storage and Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information:

• Data is stored on secure cloud servers
• All data transmission uses TLS/SSL encryption
• Data at rest is encrypted
• Authentication is handled through secure third-party providers
• We regularly review and update our security practices

While we strive to protect your information, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Data Retention and Account Deletion

We retain your personal information based on the following guidelines:

Active Accounts

Your account data is retained while your account remains active. You can update or delete your information at any time through the app settings.

Account Deletion

When you request to delete your account, the following process occurs:

• Your account is immediately deactivated and you will no longer be able to access the App
• Your personal data (profile information, email, favorites, check-in history, and gamification progress) will be permanently deleted from our servers within 30 days of your deletion request
• During this 30-day period, your data is retained solely to allow for account recovery if the deletion was accidental
• After 30 days, all personal data is permanently and irreversibly deleted
• Aggregated, anonymized analytics data that cannot identify you may be retained for business analysis

Legal Retention

In some cases, we may be required to retain certain data for longer periods to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce our agreements.
