Sharing of Information
We do not sell your personal data. We share limited data only with the processors listed below, as necessary to operate our services, and, based on your consent, with festival organisers who run a poll (see: 7. Polls and Data Transfer to Festival Organisers).
Your RSVP status ("Going," "Interested," "Not Going") may be visible to your friends

Third-party data processors
PostHog, Inc. – analytics processor. Receives pseudonymous usage events (screen views, app opens, push notification interactions). Data is stored on PostHog's EU infrastructure. PostHog's privacy policy: posthog.com/privacy
Polls and Data Transfer to Festival Organisers
Some festivals may run audience polls in the app. We process your vote to determine and display the result. We share only the aggregated result with the organiser, never your individual vote.
By casting a vote, you consent to us sharing your email address with the festival organiser running the poll, solely for the purpose of informing you of the poll result. The organiser's name is shown in the poll description. After the transfer, the organiser processes your email address as an independent data controller, solely for this purpose. The organiser may not use it for any other purpose (e.g. sending newsletters) or pass it on to third parties.
You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting team@festify.hu. In that case, we will notify the organiser, who will delete your email address. Withdrawal does not affect the validity of the vote you have cast or the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
