Privacy

The short, honest version

We store the plans you make and the RSVPs people give them, and we use that data to run and improve ImGoing — including, someday, to make money. We do not sell your personal information, we do not run ads, we never text your friends for you, and we never touch your contacts. If you want out, you can delete everything.

What we collect

  • Account: your name, email, and a securely hashed password. Your first name appears on invites you send.
  • Plans: title, time, timezone, location, meeting point, description, and the emoji you picked.
  • RSVPs: the name someone types, their answer, and any note they leave.
  • Basic technical data: normal server logs — IP address, browser, timestamps.
  • Product analytics: which pages you visit, what you click, and key moments — a plan created, an invite link opened, an RSVP submitted. Recorded with the plan's short ID, never with what any individual answered.

Cookies, analytics, and session replay

We use PostHog to understand how ImGoing is used. This is product analytics — working out which parts of the product confuse people — not advertising. Concretely, it means:

  • A cookie (and equivalent browser storage) holds a random ID so we can tell a returning visit from a new one. It is not tied to your name unless you have an account.
  • Page views and clicks are recorded automatically, including on invite pages — so this applies to your friends too, not just account holders.
  • Session replay: we may record a playback of how a page was used, to see where people get stuck. Everything you type is masked — names, emails, plan details and passwords are hidden in the recording.
  • If your browser sends a Do Not Track signal, we honour it and record nothing.

We do not use any of this to advertise to you, and we do not follow you to other websites.

What we do with it — this is the broad part

You grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive licence to host, store, reproduce, analyse, adapt, and display the content you submit, for the purposes of:
  • operating the service — showing your plan to the people you send the link to;
  • improving it — understanding what makes plans succeed or fall apart;
  • building new features, including ones that don't exist yet;
  • producing aggregated and de-identified statistics and insights, which we may publish or commercialise.

That last one is how a free product eventually pays for itself. To be specific about the limit: anything we publish or sell is aggregated or de-identified, so it doesn't identify you, your friends, or any individual plan.

What we don't do

  • We don't sell your personal information to data brokers or advertisers.
  • We don't send text messages. You invite people yourself, from your own phone.
  • We don't upload, store, or read your contacts.
  • We don't require your friends to make an account or install anything.
  • We don't run behavioural ad tracking, and we don't show ads.
  • We don't follow you to other websites or build a cross-site profile of you.
  • We don't record what you type — session replay masks every input.

People who RSVP

Anyone with a plan's link can RSVP by entering a name. Whoever created the plan sees every name and every answer.

Other guests can see who's going — seeing that your friends are in is a large part of what makes people show up. But if you answer maybe or can't, only the person who created the plan sees that. A no is never broadcast.

Deleting your account

Sign in, ask us to delete your account, and we'll delete it along with the plans you created — no retention trick, no thirty-day purgatory, no “are you sure?” maze. Email hi@imgoing.me from your account address. Backups roll off within 30 days. Aggregated, de-identified statistics that no longer identify you may remain.

Where your data lives

A Postgres database hosted by Neon in the United States, served through Cloudflare. Authentication is handled by Neon Auth. Product analytics are sent from our server to PostHog in the United States. If you're outside the US, your data is processed in the US.

Children

ImGoing isn't for anyone under 13 and we don't knowingly collect their information. If you believe a child has given us data, email us and we'll remove it.

Changes

If we change this materially, we'll update the date above and, for anything significant, tell account holders by email.
