1. Controller and contact
The service is operated by Alexander Vassilev, an individual developer based in Plovdiv, Bulgaria.
For privacy, access, correction, deletion, or other personal data requests, contact support@squadevents.eu from the email address linked to your account.
2. Data we collect
- Account and profile information such as name, email address, optional phone number, and authentication-related identifiers.
- Squad, event, attendance, invitation, and membership records created while using the service.
- Chat content, message metadata, reactions, thread references, and moderation-related records.
- Payment and treasury records connected to events, member dues, and organizer operations.
- Technical data such as IP address, device or browser details, app version, error logs, and security diagnostics needed to keep the service reliable and secure.
- Camera and media data: If you choose to use camera-related features, such as scanning a code, taking a profile photo, uploading an event image, or attaching media in the app, the app may request access to your device camera. Camera access is used only for the feature you start. Squad Events does not access the camera in the background.
3. Why data is processed
- To create and manage accounts and authenticate users.
- To operate squads, events, chats, notifications, and payment tracking.
- To respond to support requests and investigate incidents.
- To detect abuse, secure the platform, and comply with legal obligations.
- To provide camera-based features that you choose to use, such as scanning invitation codes, taking or uploading photos, or attaching media to squads, events, profiles, or chats.
4. Cookies and similar technologies
The public website does not currently include analytics, advertising, or social-media tracking cookies in its code.
If the hosting or delivery platform uses strictly necessary technical cookies or similar storage for security, routing, or availability, they are used only for those technical purposes.
If optional cookies, analytics, or marketing tools are added later, this page will be updated and consent will be requested first where the law requires it.
5. Sharing and service providers
Personal data is shared only with service providers that help run the product, such as hosting, infrastructure, notifications, support, and payment-related providers.
These providers should receive only the data needed for their role. Squad Events does not sell personal data for advertising.
If you upload images or media, those files may be processed by hosting, storage, delivery, security, and infrastructure providers that help operate Squad Events. Camera access itself is not sold, shared for advertising, or used for tracking.
6. Children and minimum age
Because Bulgarian law sets 14 as the age at which a child can consent on their own to an online service, Squad Events is not intended for direct account use by children under 14.
If we learn that personal data was submitted directly by a child under 14 without valid parent or guardian involvement, we will take reasonable steps to remove or limit that data.
7. Retention and deletion
Most account and product data is kept while your account is active and for a limited follow-up period after a valid deletion request so support, security, or operational checks can be completed.
Some records, especially financial, anti-fraud, and security-related records, may need to be kept longer when Bulgarian law or legitimate platform protection requires it.
8. Mobile app permissions
The Squad Events mobile app may request device permissions only when needed for specific features.
Camera permission may be requested when you choose to use camera-based features, such as scanning a code, taking a photo, uploading an event image, or attaching media. The camera is not accessed in the background.
You can deny or revoke camera permission at any time in your device settings. Some camera-based features may not work if the permission is disabled.
9. Your rights
Depending on the applicable rules, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or objection.
If you believe your data is handled unlawfully, you may complain to the Bulgarian Commission for Personal Data Protection or another competent supervisory authority.
