Last updated: June 2026
1. Introduction
Clapp Labs Inc. ("Clapp", "we", "us") operates the Clapp mobile application and the website clapp.world. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and what your rights are regarding your personal data.
By using Clapp, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Information you provide directly

- Content you post: photos, videos, text, comments and any other material you upload to the App
- Communications: messages you send through event chats or other App features
2.2 Information we collect automatically
- Location data: when you grant location permissions, we collect your real-time geographic location, even when the App is running in the background, to detect your attendance at events via GPS. This is a core feature of the App
- Usage data: pages visited, saved events, followed artists, usage time, clicks and other interactions within the App
- Device information: device type, operating system, App version, unique device identifiers and IP address
- Attendance data: records of the events you attended, automatically detected through geolocation

2.3 Information from third parties
If you connect your Clapp account with third-party platforms such as Spotify, SoundCloud or Instagram, we may receive information from those platforms according to the permissions you grant. This information may include your username, profile photo and music preferences.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information collected to:
- Provide the service: register your account, detect your attendance at events, show you a personalized feed and allow you to interact with other users and artists
- Personalization: recommend events and artists based on your location, musical tastes and attendance history
- Data for venues and artists: generate anonymous and aggregated audience statistics for venues and artists using our B2B platform
- Communications: send you notifications about events, App updates and service-related communications
- Security: detect and prevent fraud, abuse and unauthorized activity
- Product improvement: analyze usage patterns to improve the App
- Legal compliance: comply with applicable legal obligations
4. Sharing Your Information
We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We may share your information in the following cases:
4.1 With venues and artists (aggregated and anonymous data)
We share attendance statistics and audience data with venues and artists in aggregated and anonymous format. This means we never share your name or personally identifiable information with a venue. We only share metrics such as "X people attended this event" or "your audience has these musical interests."
4.2 With service providers
We work with technology providers who process data on our behalf, including cloud services (AWS), analytics and communications. These providers are contractually obligated to protect your information and use it only for the purposes we specify.
4.3 With third-party platforms
If you connect your account with Spotify, SoundCloud or other platforms, their own privacy policies apply. We recommend reviewing them.
4.4 By legal requirement
We may disclose your information when required by law, court order or competent authority.
4.5 In case of corporate transfer
In the event of a merger, acquisition or asset sale, your information may be transferred to the new holder, who will be bound by this Privacy Policy.
5. Location Data: Important Information
Automatic event attendance detection is a core feature of Clapp and requires access to your background location. Specifically:
- The App may access your location even when you are not actively using it
- We use algorithms to determine whether you were present at an event based on your location and the time you spent in the area
- We never share your exact real-time location with third parties
- Location data is used to record attendance, personalize recommendations and generate audience statistics
- You may revoke location permissions at any time from your device settings. If you do so, we will not be able to automatically record your attendance
6. Data Retention
We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account:
- Your profile and public content will be deleted within 30 days
- Historical attendance data that already forms part of aggregated statistics may be retained in anonymous form
- We may retain certain information when required by law or to resolve pending disputes
7. Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, loss or alteration. However, no security system is infallible and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information.
8. Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you
- Correct inaccurate or incomplete information
- Delete your account and personal data
- Portability: request a copy of your data in a readable format
- Object to the processing of your data for marketing purposes
- Withdraw your consent at any time
