Rave Finder — Privacy Policy

Last updated: 25 June 2026 · Controller: STOIC AS, Oslo, Norway · Contact: privacy@stoicholding.no

Rave Finder helps a group of friends find each other at events. Your live location is sensitive personal data, and we treat it that way. This policy explains exactly what we collect, why, and your rights under the GDPR.

What we collect

• An anonymous account. You don't give us an email or phone number. We create an anonymous ID and you choose a display name and colour.
• Your live location, only while you choose to share it. It is shared only with the members of the group(s) you join — enforced at the database level, not just in the app.
• Group membership (which groups you're in) and short status/alert messages you send.
• A device push token (optional) so the app can notify you of an SOS from your group.

What we do NOT do

• We never sell or share your location with advertisers or any third party. Ever.
• We do not keep a history/track of where you've been — your location row is overwritten with your latest position only.
• We do not send your location to analytics or error-tracking tools.
• There are no ads.

Why (legal basis)

We process your location on the basis of your explicit consent, which you give by turning on sharing and which you can withdraw at any time (in-app: set sharing to off/ghost, or leave the group). Showing your group to each other is the core service you ask for.

How long we keep it

• Location: last position only, overwritten continuously; cleared when you stop sharing or leave.
• Groups & posts auto-expire after the event (groups expire roughly 7 days after creation).
• You can delete your data at any time (see below).

Your rights

Under the GDPR you have the right to access, correct, export, and delete your data, and to withdraw consent. To delete your account and all associated data, leave your groups and stop sharing in-app, or email privacy@stoicholding.no and we will erase it. You may also lodge a complaint with the Norwegian Data Protection Authority (Datatilsynet).

Emergency / SOS

The SOS feature alerts the members of your group only. It is not connected to, and is not a substitute for, emergency services. In a real emergency, call your local emergency number (112 in the EU/Norway).

Security

Access to every location, group, and alert is restricted to that group's members by row-level security on our database (Supabase, hosted in the EU). Traffic is encrypted in transit.

Children

Rave Finder is not intended for children under 16.

Changes

We'll update this page if our practices change and revise the date above. Questions: privacy@stoicholding.no.
