This Privacy Policy describes how Gatheround LLC ("Gatheround," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you use our catering management platform and related services (the "Services"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices.
We collect information you provide directly when you use the Services, including:
When you use the Services, we automatically collect certain information, including:
We may receive information from third-party services you connect to your GATHEROUND account, such as payment processors, calendar integrations, and communication tools. We only collect the information necessary to provide the requested integration.
We use the information we collect to:
We do not sell your personal information. We do not use your data to serve advertisements. We do not use your business data for any purpose other than providing the Services to you.
When you use the QuickBooks Online integration, we use data obtained through the Intuit API solely to provide synchronization services between GATHEROUND and your QuickBooks account. This data is never used for analytics, advertising, or any secondary purpose. Our use of data obtained from Intuit APIs complies with Intuit's API Terms of Service and data use policies.
GATHEROUND offers an optional integration with Intuit QuickBooks Online ("QBO") to help catering businesses synchronize their financial data. This section describes how we handle data accessed through that integration.
When you connect your QuickBooks Online account to GATHEROUND, we request access to the following data through Intuit's authorized API:
We access only the data necessary to provide the synchronization features you have enabled. We do not access payroll data, employee records, or any QBO data outside the scopes listed above.
QuickBooks data accessed through the integration is used solely to:
We do not use your QuickBooks data for advertising, profiling, or any purpose unrelated to providing the Services to you. We do not sell, rent, or share QuickBooks data with third parties except as described in this policy or as required by law.
QuickBooks connection credentials (OAuth tokens) are encrypted at rest using industry-standard encryption. We store only the minimum data necessary to maintain your connection and perform synchronization. If you disconnect your QuickBooks account, your OAuth tokens are deleted immediately and no further data is accessed. Synchronized records already imported into GATHEROUND are retained according to our standard data retention policy and may be deleted upon account closure.
You may disconnect your QuickBooks Online account at any time from the Integrations section of your GATHEROUND Settings. Upon disconnection:
You may also revoke GATHEROUND's access directly from your Intuit account at accounts.intuit.com under Connected Apps.
Your use of QuickBooks Online is also governed by Intuit's Privacy Policy, available at intuit.com/privacy. GATHEROUND is not affiliated with Intuit Inc. QuickBooks is a registered trademark of Intuit Inc.
Information you enter into the platform is accessible to other authorized users within your organization based on their assigned roles and permissions. Operators control who within their organization has access to what data.
When Operators share event information through the client portal, certain event details become accessible to the associated clients. Operators control what information is visible to their clients through portal settings and sharing permissions.
We share information with third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf, including hosting, analytics, payment processing, and customer support. These providers are contractually obligated to use your information only for the purposes of providing their services to us.
If you have connected your QuickBooks Online account, we transmit data to Intuit's QuickBooks Online API on your behalf to create and update records as directed by your use of the Services. This transmission is performed at your explicit direction and is subject to Intuit's terms of service and privacy policy.
We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, or if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, protect our rights or safety, prevent fraud, or respond to a government request.
In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your information may be transferred to the acquiring entity. We will notify you of any such change in ownership or control of your personal information.
We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Services. If you close your account, we will delete or de-identify your personal information within 90 days, except where retention is required by law or necessary to resolve disputes.
Aggregated, de-identified data that cannot be used to identify you may be retained indefinitely for analytics and product improvement purposes.
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information, including encryption in transit (TLS/SSL), encryption at rest, access controls, and regular security assessments. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We encourage you to use strong passwords, enable available security features, and promptly report any suspected security issues to us.
You have the right to access the personal information we hold about you. You may request a copy of your data in a portable, machine-readable format by contacting us.
You have the right to request correction of inaccurate personal information or deletion of your personal data. You can update most information directly through your account settings, or contact us for assistance.
You may opt out of non-essential communications at any time by using the unsubscribe link in our emails or by updating your notification preferences. Service-related communications (security alerts, billing notices, Terms updates) cannot be opted out of while your account is active.
If you are a California resident, you have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to know what personal information is collected, the right to delete personal information, and the right to opt out of the sale of personal information. We do not sell personal information.
Georgia residents may have rights under applicable state privacy laws. We comply with all applicable Georgia data protection requirements.
The Services are not intended for use by individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 18, we will take steps to delete that information promptly.
The Services may contain links to third-party websites or services that are not operated by us. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you access through our platform.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify you by posting the updated policy on this page and updating the "Effective Date" at the top. We may also notify you by email for significant changes. Your continued use of the Services after the effective date of any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
