Gigly is run by Lemar Tokham, who is responsible for your data. Questions, or anything you want changed or deleted: gigly.help@gmail.com.

What we keep

  • Your email address, to sign you in with a code.
  • Your name and @username, which other people see.
  • Your stubs: the two photos you take at a gig, which gig, and who you chose to share them with (your friends, or your friends and the gig’s wall).
  • The shows you hype, the gigs you mark as going, how many flames you gave the gigs you went to, your friends, reactions, blocks and reports.
  • If you hype on the website without signing in: the hype, and a random guest ID kept in your browser. Nothing else about you.
  • A notification token for your phone, if you turn on nudges.

We don’t sell any of it, show ads, or track you around other apps and websites.

Who sees what

  • Anyone can see your name, @username, and stubs you put on a gig’s wall, including on the website.
  • Your friends see your stubs, the gigs you’re going to, and how you rated the gigs you went to. Ratings are never shown to bands, venues or anyone else.
  • Hypes count towards the chart without your name on them.
  • People you block can’t see you anywhere on Gigly, and you can’t see them.

Why we use it

  • To run Gigly for you: sign-in, your stubs, friends and the chart. You asked to use Gigly, and this is what it takes (the law calls this a contract).
  • To keep it safe: reports, blocks and removing what breaks the rules. That’s in everyone’s interest, yours included (the law calls this legitimate interests).
  • To nudge you at a gig’s shared moment, only if you say yes (consent). Turn Gigly’s notifications off in your phone’s settings to stop them.

Who helps run Gigly

  • Supabase hosts the database and photos, in Ireland.
  • Vercel runs the website.
  • Expo delivers the app and sends notifications, through Apple and Google.
  • Google sends the sign-in emails, and provides maps and venue reviews.

Expo, Vercel and Google are based in the US, so some of your data is handled there. Each of them commits to the protections UK law requires when data leaves the UK.

Gig listings come from venues and ticket sites such as Skiddle; they don’t contain anything about you.

How long we keep it

Until you delete it. Deleting a stub removes its photos. A guest who hyped without signing in and doesn’t come back is deleted after a week, once the shows they hyped have been. Deleting your account, from the You tab in the app or your page on the website, removes your account, stubs, photos, hypes, friends and everything else here, straight away.

Your rights

You can ask for a copy of what we keep about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it: email gigly.help@gmail.com. If you’re unhappy with how we’ve handled your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ico.org.uk).

Age

You need to be at least 13 to use Gigly.

Changes

If this changes in a way that matters, we’ll say so in the app before it takes effect.
