Privacy

No ads

Suumer is a free event listing. It shows no ads and uses no ad trackers. It does not sell personal data, and it does not share personal data for advertising.

No account required

You can use Suumer without an account.

This browser saves your starting town, hidden events, highlights, and “Going!” plans under the name suumer-lasting-choices-v1. cruu plans and trophies are saved in this browser too.

Hidden events and trophies are not sent. “Tell me when” alerts are not on. Interests you pick for them stay in this browser.

Your starting town is sent with a search when you open events, so the list can start near it. We do not store that town on an account.

Opening an event's outside link, highlighting a listing, or tapping “Going!” sends that event's id so we can count it. The count is not tied to a name or an account.

After an event you marked “Going!”, this browser sends that event's id to see whether a question is due. A yes or no is saved only if you are signed in.

Night notes you save only on this device stay on this device.

A listing report stores what you say is wrong, and an email only if you type one. Signed in, it also stores your account id. We use the report to review the listing.

An event you submit stores the details you typed, and an email only if you ask us to write back.

If you join the weekend email, we store your email address, the town, the page you joined from, and the words on the box and on the confirm page with when you pressed each, as our record that you asked for it. Nothing is sent until you press the link in the confirm email. It comes on Thursdays, and every one has a one-click stop link. Resend, the service that sends it, receives the address for that purpose. A stopped address is kept as stopped so it is never emailed by mistake.

A stop request from a site owner stores the site address, the email and the note sent with it, so we can check it with them.

If you turn on “Show happy hours and deals”, “Show government meetings” or “Show work trainings and conferences” in Settings, this browser keeps a small cookie (suumer_show_deals, suumer_show_gov or suumer_show_training) so lists include them. Turn it off and the cookie is removed.

If you make an account

Your email address is stored with the account and used to send the sign-in link. The link expires in 20 minutes and works once. Resend, the service that sends the link, receives the address for that purpose.

If you are signed in and you follow a venue or keep a calendar link, a “Going!” event id is saved on your account so a calendar app can follow it.

Nights out you save to your account are stored with it, including a private note.

When you hype an event or a place, how many U's you gave is stored with your account. Hypes are public in one quiet way: once three different people have hyped the same event or place within 90 days, everyone sees “Others were glad they went.” No count, no names and no email address are ever shown.

Your own list of what you hyped, Hyperactivity, is shown only to you.

Calendar links you keep are stored with the account: the venues you follow and the event ids you include.

If you ask to represent a venue, we store your name, your role and the official page you gave us, so we can check it.

A question you ask about an event is stored with the account too. It is shown on the event without your name or email address.

Signed in, your cruu (its name and plans) is stored with the account. If you share it, the cruu's name and the name you pick for yourself are seen by the people in that cruu. Your friends on Suumer see that name too. We never show them your email address.

If you invite someone by email, we store the address with the invite, only you see it, and Resend sends them the invite.

If you invite someone by text, we store the number you typed, encrypted, with the name you gave for that person. We never show the number on any page, not even to you: your invites go by that name. The only place it is used is your own Text the invite button, which puts it in your phone's messages app. We never send texts (you send the invite from your own phone) and never share the number. It stays with the invite, even after the invite is used, cancelled or expires, until you delete your account or the cruu is closed; then it is deleted.

If you report a cruu or someone in it, we store what you wrote, who or which cruu it is about, and your account id, and email it to Suumer at once, so we can review it. If someone is abusive, Suumer can turn off shared cruus for their account: they are taken out of every cruu, and cruus they own are closed. Nobody in the cruu is told who sent a report.

Signed in, the account page has a “Download my information” button. It gives you a file at once with everything kept for your account: your email, settings, cruus and invites, nights out and notes, questions, friends, follows, calendar picks and the rest. Numbers you typed for text invites stay out of it, because we never show them.

If you start a plan with friends, we keep the event, your account, the name you pick for the plan and the updates you post. Everyone in the plan sees the names in it and the updates, never an email address.

A friend with the plan's link can say “I'm in” without an account. We keep only the name they type and when, nothing else about them. This browser keeps a small cookie (suumer_plan_ and the plan's code) so it shows “You're in” and can take the name off again. The host can remove any name. If they add their email to save their spot, we send the usual sign-in link and the name moves to their account; the plan never sees the email.

We keep the account, and what is tied to it, until you delete it. A signed-in session lasts 30 days.

Supporting Suumer

If you choose to support Suumer, you pay on Stripe's own page, and Stripe collects what it needs for the payment under Stripe's privacy policy. We never see your card number.

When a monthly or yearly payment starts, stops or fails, Stripe tells us, and that notice (the plan and the amount, no card details) is kept in our server log.

Visit counting

The site counts visits with no cookies and no name. This browser remembers the first week you visited and the last week it already sent a note, and it sends one note a week. The server adds that note to a daily total. It does not save an IP address or a device id. An address is held in memory only long enough to ignore a burst of notes, and it is not written down.

When a visit starts, this browser also sends the name of the website it came from (such as google.com, never the full address) and the first part of the page address it opened (such as events). When you open a link to another website, it sends that website's name and the first part of our page address. The server adds each to a daily total. It does not save an IP address or a device id. While the tab is open, this browser keeps only a mark that the visit was already counted.

Cloudflare Web Analytics also counts page views, without cookies. Cloudflare's privacy policy.

The map in the Suumer menu also shows where people searched in the last 24 hours. It counts only the town or ZIP code a search is for (one you typed or saved, or the nearest town when you tap “Use your location”), never the town guessed from your internet address, and never a search robot. The server keeps just a ZIP code and the hour, in memory, for 24 hours, with no address, account or device id. An area only shows after 3 searches, as a glow about 6 miles wide.

Location

The website asks for your location only when you tap “Use your location”. The browser rounds it to about a kilometer and sends it for that search. We do not save it on an account. A request log can still include that search, as described below.

If you have not picked a place, the events page starts near the town your internet address points to, looked up on our own server in a free table (IP Geolocation by DB-IP). Your internet address is never saved or logged. The town is shown on the page and works like a town you typed.

Maps are drawn with map pictures from OpenStreetMap, but your browser gets them from suumer.com: our server fetches each picture from OpenStreetMap and keeps a copy, so OpenStreetMap does not see your internet address or which part of the map you look at.

Phone numbers and limits

Phone numbers in listings stay hidden behind a “Show phone number” button, so robots cannot collect them. Tapping it asks our server for that one number.

Some actions are limited per visitor, such as counting “Going!”, sending a report, submitting an event or showing a phone number. The address used for those limits is held in memory for a short time and is never saved.

Videos and posts

Some listings have a trailer or a video. It loads from YouTube's privacy-enhanced player only when you press play; until then, the page loads nothing from YouTube.

A few place pages offer a post from the place's own Instagram or Facebook page. It shows first as a "Tap to see the post" card: nothing comes from Instagram or Facebook until you tap it, and then that company gets your internet address, under its own privacy rules.

A picture from the place's own website that it agreed to share loads straight from that website when the page opens, so that website gets your internet address.

Clips in Moments load from Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat or YouTube only when you tap play.

Server logs

A request log records the method, the page address including the query string, and the site host. It does not record an IP address. Secret sign-in, calendar, and venue-action links are removed from those addresses. On the events API, a latitude and longitude in the query string are rounded before they are logged. A search place can appear in the query string.

If a “Going!” count looks like it came from a different country than the event, a warning log includes the IP address and the event id.

Logs are kept only as long as needed to run and protect the site.

Children

Accounts are for grown-ups (18+). Children are welcome at family events, but Suumer is not directed to children under 13 and we don't knowingly collect information from them. If you think a child has given us information, write to [email protected] and we'll delete it.

Family events are listed so grown-ups can plan outings with children. Some other listings are at bars.

The Suumer phone app

The app shows this website inside it, so everything above applies there too. Adult-only listings never show in the app.

The app asks for your location only when you tap “Use where I am now” on its Location tab, to fill in your ZIP code. It uses an approximate location, never your exact spot and never in the background. Your exact position stays on your phone; only the ZIP code is kept.

The places you save on the Location tab (a name and an address, town or ZIP code), your distance, map app and travel choices are kept on your phone. The chosen place and distance are sent with the events search, like a town you type on the website. Directions open in the map app you chose, which then has the venue's address. "Getting there" buttons (ride, parking and transit apps) open that app with the venue and the event's time filled in; only the app you tap gets them, and nothing about you is added. Your ride, parking and travel choices for those buttons stay on your phone or in this browser.

Your “Going!” plans and the optional reminders (the evening before, and two hours before) are kept on your phone. We do not receive them. Removing the app or clearing its data removes them.

Suumer inside AI assistants

AI assistants such as ChatGPT can look up events in Suumer through our add-on (suumer.com/mcp). A search reads only the town, the day and the kind of event. Anything else the assistant sends is dropped before it is read, and none of it is logged. If no town is given, the add-on uses the rough town the assistant shares (city and state), for that one search only. The search itself is logged like a search on this website, as described under Server logs.

If you tell the assistant a listing is wrong, it can send us a report that holds only the listing and which part is wrong, picked from a short list. It carries no note, name, email or account, so nothing in it points to you. We keep it to check the listing against its source.

Your choices

To get a copy of everything kept for your account, sign in and press “Download my information” on the account page. To delete your account and everything tied to it, use the delete account page, or email [email protected] from the address you signed up with and we'll delete it within 7 days. For anything else, including removal of a listing, email [email protected].

Outside companies

Every outside company a visit to Suumer can touch, what it does for us, and what it gets.

No ad networks, no data brokers, and nobody else.
