Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 29, 2026

mōtive (“we”) builds a small social app for organizing in-person activities. This page explains what we collect, why, and what we do with it.

For the complete privacy notice — including state-specific rights (California, Utah, etc.), retention periods, subprocessor list, and biometric-information handling — see the Full Privacy Policy. This summary is the practical version; the full document controls if anything conflicts.

What we collect

When you sign up, we collect the email address associated with your account and (if you sign in via Google) your Google profile name and photo. Inside the app, we store anything you put on your profile (display name, age, city, bio, interests, photo, optional phone and Instagram handle). We also store the events you create or join and the messages you post in event group chats or in direct messages with friends.

What we do with it

We use it to make the product work — to show you events near you, to let attendees see who's going, and to deliver messages to the people you're chatting with. We don't sell your data. We don't share it with advertisers. Phone number and Instagram handle are visible only to people you've accepted as friends.

Verification selfie

At signup we ask you to take one quick selfie (with a silly face — it's on purpose; Mo demos the pose). We compare it to your profile photo to confirm a real person matching the profile is creating the account. The selfie is stored privately in our Supabase storage. Only our team sees it during review. We don't use it for training, marketing, or sharing — it exists only to verify your account. Approved selfies are deleted 90 days after review; rejected selfies are deleted 14 days after review. The decision (approved / rejected) stays on file as an audit record.

Where it lives

Data is stored on Supabase (Postgres + Storage) in the United States. Authentication runs through Supabase Auth, with optional Google sign-in via Google OAuth.

Your controls

You can edit or delete most of your data from inside the app: edit your profile, delete events you created, leave events, unfriend people, or block users. To permanently delete your entire account, see our account deletion page.

Cookies

We use a small number of essential cookies to keep you signed in. We don't use tracking or advertising cookies.

Analytics

We use PostHog to measure how the app is used, in aggregate. We track a small set of events — sign-in, wizard steps, event views, and RSVPs — to find where new users get stuck. We send your first name so we can recognize who's who when we look at the data. We do not send email addresses, last names, phone numbers, birthdays, photos, or message content.
