Privacy Policy

Tillevent is an app that helps people organize and join outings near them in Montréal. This policy explains what personal information we collect, why, how we protect it and what your rights are.

Tillevent is operated by Julien Romary, doing business as Tillevent ("Tillevent", "we"). We comply with Québec's Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector (as amended by Law 25) and applicable Canadian laws. The French version of this policy prevails in case of discrepancy.

1. Person in charge of the protection of personal information

For any question, request or complaint about your personal information, write to this address.

2. Information we collect

Your account

• Your email address, used to sign you in with a code (Tillevent does not use passwords).
• Your first name, interests and preferred language (French or English).
• The date you accepted our terms and confirmed you are 18 or older.
• If you choose to add them: a profile photo and a short bio (160 characters at most).

Outings you create

• Title, category, date and time, neighbourhood, exact meeting place, number of spots, and an optional description and photo.

Your participation and messages

• The outings you join and the messages you send in their group chats.
• When you open a partner's event or tap its “Book” button, we record it, at most once per day and per event. Nothing is recorded for outings between individuals.

Community safety

• Reports you send (reason, details, and a copy of the reported message if applicable) and the people you block.

If you apply to become a partner (Tillevent Pro)

• Your business's name and address, its neighbourhood, website, event categories and logo.
• The contact person's name, the account's email address and, if you provide them, a phone number, the Québec enterprise number (NEQ) and a message.

Technical data

• Server logs (IP address, date and time of requests), kept by our hosting provider for security and to keep the service running.

3. Why we use it

• To create your account, sign you in and keep access secure.
• To show outings and let you organize them, join them and talk with other participants.
• To protect the community: handle reports, enforce blocks, and prevent fraud and abuse.
• To review partner applications, check that a business really exists and communicate with its managers.
• To give partners anonymous, aggregate statistics about their own events.
• To send emails required by the service (sign-in codes) and, once available, notifications you can turn off.
• To meet our legal obligations.

We only use your information for these purposes. If we wanted to use it for another purpose, we would ask for your consent first, unless the law provides otherwise.

4. Who can see what

When you block someone, or someone blocks you, you no longer see each other's outings or messages. Someone who blocked you can no longer see your profile.

Sharing an outing: the share link only contains a technical identifier. The page it opens on tillevent.com shows no information about the outing or its participants: details are only visible in the app, once signed in. The share message includes the outing's title, date and neighbourhood, never its exact place.

Partners: a partner application is only visible to you and the Tillevent team. Once approved, the business's name, logo, website and address may be shown in the app. The phone number, NEQ and contact person's name are never shown publicly. Partners never see the list of people who joined their events.

Partner statistics: a partner only receives aggregate figures about their own events: number of views, sign-ups and “Book” clicks, by day and by day of the week, along with the interests and language of their audience. These figures are calculated by our database; the partner never receives names, profiles or lists. The audience profile is only shown once there are at least 5 people, and any group of fewer than 5 people is hidden.

5. Our providers and transfers outside Québec

We rely on providers to run Tillevent. They only use your information to provide their services to us.

• Supabase: database, authentication and photo storage. Your data is hosted in Canada (Canada Central region).
• Resend: sends sign-in emails. Processes your email address on servers located in the United States.
• Hostinger: hosts the tillevent.com website and domain name.
• Apple and Google: app distribution, maps (Apple Maps or Google Maps) and, where applicable, notification delivery.

Before communicating personal information outside Québec, we assess the privacy-related factors and make sure the information will receive adequate protection, as required by law.

6. How long we keep it

• Your information is kept for as long as your account is active.
• You can delete your account at any time, directly in the app (Profile > Delete my account). Your account, profile (including your profile photo and bio), outings, participation, messages, blocks and, where applicable, your partner information are then immediately erased from our databases. Automatic backup copies are erased within 30 days.
• When you change or remove your profile photo, the old photo is erased.
• A rejected partner application is kept for no more than 12 months, then deleted.
• Views and “Book” clicks recorded on partners' events are automatically deleted after 13 months.
• Reports about you are kept without any link to your identity, for as long as needed for community safety, and for no more than two years.
• Technical logs are kept for a limited period by our hosting provider.

7. How we protect it

• All communications are encrypted (HTTPS/TLS).
• Your session is encrypted on your device, with a key kept in the system's secure vault (iOS Keychain or Android Keystore).
• Strict access rules are enforced directly by the database: everyone only accesses what they are allowed to see.
• No passwords are stored: you sign in with a single-use code that expires quickly.
• Administrative access is limited to what is strictly necessary.

If a confidentiality incident occurs, we take steps to reduce its consequences, record it in a register and, if it presents a risk of serious injury, notify the Commission d'accès à l'information and the people affected.

8. Your rights

At any time, you can:

• access the personal information we hold about you;
• have it corrected if it is inaccurate or incomplete;
• get a copy in a structured, commonly used technological format;
• withdraw your consent and have your information deleted, including by deleting your account.

To exercise these rights, write to confidentialite@tillevent.com from the email address linked to your account. We will reply within 30 days. If you are not satisfied with our answer, you can file a complaint with the Commission d'accès à l'information du Québec.

9. Minimum age

Tillevent is only for people aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect information about minors. If you believe a minor is using the app, write to us and we will delete their account.

10. Cookies

The app uses no advertising cookies or advertising trackers. The tillevent.com website uses no tracking cookies.

11. Changes

We may update this policy. If we make a significant change, we will let you know in the app before it takes effect. The date of the last update is shown at the top of this page.
