The short version
- No ads and no tracking across other companies' apps or websites. We never sell your information.
- Browsing events needs no account, and most things stay on your phone.
- If you sign in to plan weekends with a group, we store your email address (or Apple sign-in), the first name you choose, your groups, and the events you star or lock in.
- We count how the app is used (for example, how many times an event's page is opened) so we can improve it. We never sell them or use them for ads.
- The website (not the iPhone app) also uses Google Analytics to measure visits, with Google's advertising features turned off. It's skipped if your browser sends a “Do Not Track” or Global Privacy Control signal.
- You can delete your account, and what's linked to it, from inside the app at any time.
What stays on your device
These are saved only on your phone or browser and are never sent to us:
- Your stars and locked-in plans when you're not signed in to a group, plus your filters and view settings.
- Your “home” spot for distances. If you tap Use my current location, your location is read once, rounded, and used on your device to show how far away events are. It is never sent to us. If you type an address, city or ZIP instead, only that text is sent to OpenStreetMap's address lookup to find it on the map (see below).
- A saved copy of the event list, so the app works without a signal.
Deleting the app (or clearing the website's data in your browser) removes all of this.
Accounts and groups (optional)
You only need an account to plan with other people. When you sign in, we store:
- Your email address, if you sign in with an emailed code. We use it only to send you sign-in codes, never for marketing.
- Your Apple sign-in, if you use Sign in with Apple. Apple gives us an account identifier and an email address, which can be a private relay address if you choose “Hide My Email”. Apple may also share your first name the first time.
- The first name you choose, shown to people in your groups next to the events you star. You can use a nickname and change it any time.
- Your groups: each group's name, its members' first names, and its join code.
- The events you star or lock in for a group, the day you locked them in, and a copy of the public event details (title, time, place, link).
People in your groups can see your first name and what you starred or locked in for that group. Anyone with a group's join code or invite link can join it, so share it only with people you plan with. A group's owner can make a new code at any time, which stops old invite links from working.
Usage counts
To understand what's useful and improve the app, we record simple events: the app being opened, signing in, starring or locking in an event, creating, joining or inviting to a group, adding to your calendar, tapping a reminder, opening an event's “More info”, “Directions”, “Tickets” or movie “Showtimes” link, tapping the App Store link, choosing a filter, and saving your interests (which kinds of events you chose to hide). Each record has the kind of event, which listing it was about, the time, whether it came from the website or the iPhone app, and:
- if you're signed in, your account (and the group you were viewing);
- if you're not, a random code created on your device. It isn't your phone's advertising identifier and isn't connected to your name or email.
We don't use these counts for advertising, and we don't combine them with information from other companies. We may share totals that can't identify anyone (for example, “120 people opened this event's page this month”) with event organizers or partners.
Older shared plans
Before accounts, shared plans used an anonymous list code, your first name as typed, and your starred events. Those plans keep working for now. When you sign in, you can move a plan into a group; its stars and locked-in days are copied over. Old shared plans will be retired in a future version.
Deleting your information
- Delete your account in the app or on the website: Our Weekend Plans → Group & account → Delete my account. This permanently removes your account, your name and your stars from every group. Groups you were in stay for their other members. Usage counts you created are kept only as anonymous totals, no longer connected to you.
- Leave a group to remove your stars from it. When the last person leaves, the group is deleted.
- For anything else, including deleting an older shared plan, contact us (below).
iPhone features
- Reminders: if you allow notifications, reminders for your locked-in plans are scheduled on your phone. Nothing about them is sent to us, apart from the usage count when you tap one.
- Add to Calendar: opens Apple's New Event screen, filled in. The app can't see or read your calendar. You choose whether to add the event.
- Invites: the share sheet sends the invite link using whichever app you pick (Messages, Mail and so on). We don't see who you send it to.
Google Analytics (website only)
The website at theweekendfetch.com uses Google Analytics 4 to understand how many people visit, how they find us (for example, from a search) and which parts they use, such as switching tabs or tapping an event's “Tickets”, “More info” or “Showtimes” link. Google Analytics sets first-party cookies and receives your browser's IP address, device and browser type, approximate location (city level), the pages and events viewed, and the page that referred you. Google says it doesn't store IP addresses for Google Analytics 4.
- We've turned off Google signals and ad personalization, so this information isn't used to show you ads or linked to your Google account by us.
- We don't send your name, email, groups or plans to Google Analytics.
- If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control or “Do Not Track” signal, Google Analytics doesn't load at all.
- You can also block it with Google's opt-out browser add-on, or by clearing and blocking cookies for this site.
- The iPhone app doesn't use Google Analytics.

Services we rely on
These companies process information for us only to run the app. Like any website, they also receive standard technical information (such as your IP address and device type) when the app or website contacts them:
- Supabase runs our sign-in and database (accounts, groups, plans, usage counts). See the Supabase privacy policy.
- Resend sends our sign-in code emails, so it receives your email address and the code. See the Resend privacy policy.
- Apple handles Sign in with Apple if you use it.
- GitHub Pages (GitHub, Inc.) hosts the website and the event list the app downloads.
- Google Fonts (Google LLC) provides the fonts.
- Google Analytics (Google LLC) measures website visits, as described above.
- OpenStreetMap Nominatim (OpenStreetMap Foundation) turns a home address you type into a map position. It receives only what you type. See the OSM privacy policy.
Links to event pages and to Google Maps directions open those sites, which have their own privacy policies.
Children
The app lists family events but is not directed at children, and we don't knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Changes and contact
If this policy changes, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
