Privacy Policy – wewent.to

Last updated: 19 January 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how wewent.to (“we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, and protects personal data when you use the wewent.to website and related services (the “Service”).

We process personal data in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (the General Data Protection Regulation, “GDPR”) and applicable Dutch data protection law.

1. Data Controller

The data controller responsible for processing personal data is the wewent.to team. Contact details are provided on the website.

2. Personal Data We Collect

When you register for and use the Service, we may collect the following personal data:

• Email address
• Name
• User tag
• User-provided description (optional)
• Profile picture (optional)

The email address is used for account identification and communication. We verify only that the email address is technically valid.

We do not verify whether the name, tag, description, or profile picture correspond to a real or identifiable person. Users are free to use a pseudonym and to provide fictional or non-identifying information, as long as that such content complies with our Terms of Use.

3. Purpose and Legal Basis of Processing

We process personal data for the following purposes:

• Creating and managing user accounts;
• Providing access to the Service and its features;
• Displaying user information in the context of journeys and collaborations;
• Communicating with users regarding their account or the Service;
• Ensuring the security and proper functioning of the Service.

The legal bases for processing under Article 6 GDPR are:

• Performance of a contract (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR);
• Legitimate interests in operating and securing the Service (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).

4. User-Generated Content

Content uploaded by users (such as images, videos, GPS tracks, and descriptions) may contain personal data. Such content is processed solely at the initiative of the user and in accordance with the Terms of Use.

Users remain responsible for the personal data they choose to upload or share.

5. Cookies and Session Storage

wewent.to uses only functional cookies that are strictly necessary for the correct operation of the Service.

These cookies are used to:

• Maintain user authentication and login sessions;
• Ensure secure navigation between pages;
• Protect the Service against misuse and unauthorized access.

The Service uses server-side session management typical of a Node.js web application. A session identifier may be stored in a cookie on your device to associate your browser with an active server-side session.

We do not use cookies or similar technologies for:

• Analytics or tracking;
• Advertising or marketing;
• User profiling or behavioral monitoring.

Because these cookies are essential for the operation of the Service, they do not require explicit user consent under applicable EU law.

6. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell or share personal data with third parties.

Personal data may be disclosed only:

• Where required by applicable law or a binding legal obligation;
• To protect the rights, safety, or security of the Service or its users;
• To service providers strictly necessary for operating the Service (such as hosting or infrastructure providers), subject to appropriate safeguards.

7. Data Retention

Personal data is retained for as long as the user account remains active or as necessary to provide the Service.

Certain data may be retained for longer periods where required to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce our Terms.

8. Data Security

We apply reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, or alteration.

However, no system can be guaranteed to be completely secure, and users acknowledge this risk.

9. User Rights

Under the GDPR, users have the following rights:

• Right of access to their personal data;
• Right to rectification of inaccurate or incomplete data;
• Right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”), subject to legal limitations;
• Right to restriction of processing;
• Right to data portability;
• Right to object to processing based on legitimate interests.

Requests to exercise these rights can be submitted via the contact details provided on the Service.

10. Complaints

Users have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. In the Netherlands, the competent authority is the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The latest version will always be available on the Service.
