Account and ticket information. When you buy a donation ticket or receive App access, we may process your name, email address, ticket type, and a unique access code used to sign in to the App. Ticket purchases are processed by our ticketing provider (currently Humanitix); we receive ticket and contact details needed to operate PorchFest and the App.
App sign-in and device binding. When you sign in with an access code, we store a device identifier on your ticket record so the same code cannot be used on multiple devices at once. Signing out (or an organizer reset) can clear that binding.
App usage content. The App loads festival content from our servers (for example lineup, porch/map locations, updates, and donor deals). If you redeem a deal, we record that redemption against your ticket so it cannot be redeemed twice.
Information stored on your device. The App may store preferences locally on your device (for example favorited artists). That data stays on your device unless you clear app data or uninstall.
Website analytics. Our website may use standard web analytics (such as Google Analytics) to understand aggregate traffic and improve the site. Analytics providers may set cookies or similar technologies according to their own policies.
Communications. If you email us or submit a form, we receive the information you provide (such as name, email, and message content).
What we do not collect via the App. The App does not request access to your phone’s GPS/precise location permission. The map shows festival porch and venue locations we publish; it does not track your personal whereabouts.
