— THE COMMUNITY APP

Privacy Policy

Effective date: 24 May 2026

Islandwide is a community platform. We collect only what we need to provide the service, we do not sell your data, and you can request deletion of your account and data at any time. To deliver this service, we rely on industry-standard third-party providers for hosting, database, mapping, authentication, and analytics.

1. Who We Are

Islandwide is operated by Islandwide Platforms, Ltd., a company registered in The Bahamas. References to "we", "us", or "our" in this policy mean Islandwide Platforms, Ltd. You can reach us at help@islandwide.app.

2. Information We Collect

Account information. When you create an account, we collect your email address or phone number. If you sign in with Google or Microsoft, we receive your name and email address from that provider.

Location data. When you submit a community alert or event, we collect the geographic coordinates you provide or confirm on the map. When you use the location search feature to find an event venue, your search query is sent to a third-party geocoding service to return matching results. We do not continuously track your location in the background.

User-generated content. We store the reports, events, photos, and descriptions you choose to submit. This content is visible to other users of the app. When submitting an event, you may optionally provide an organiser name and an event image; these are displayed publicly alongside your event listing.

Push notification tokens. If you opt in to push notifications, we store a device token to deliver alerts to your device. You can withdraw this at any time in your notification settings.

Payment information. When you purchase a featured event placement, your payment is processed by a third-party payment processor. We do not receive or store your card number or other payment credentials — only a confirmation of the transaction and the plan purchased.

Usage data. We collect anonymised information about how you use the app (pages visited, features used, device type) through third-party analytics tools. This data does not include your name or contact information and is used solely to improve the app.

3. How We Use Your Information

5. Third-Party Services

Islandwide relies on industry-standard third-party services to deliver its features, including hosting and infrastructure, database and file storage, interactive maps and location search, authentication providers, payment processing, push notification delivery, and analytics. Each provider operates under its own privacy policy and is bound by contractual obligations to handle your data appropriately. We do not authorise any third-party provider to use your data for purposes other than those necessary to provide services to Islandwide.

6. Data Retention

We retain your account information and content for as long as your account is active. Community alerts are automatically archived after they are marked as resolved or after an extended period of inactivity. If you delete your account, your personal information is removed within 30 days, though some aggregated, non-identifiable data may be retained for analytics purposes.

Islandwide is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

10. Changes to This Policy
