Privacy policy
Version 1, 7 October 2026. This policy describes what the Valego app actually does today. When the app changes, this page changes with it, and the version number goes up.
1. Who is responsible
Valego is published by Jovana Jovic, self-employed (autónoma) in Spain, Carrer del Perú 186 bis, 08020 Barcelona. Questions about your data: hola@valego.app.
2. Who the app is for
Valego is for parents and guardians, who must be adults. It is not directed at children. Information about children is entered by their own parent or guardian, and only what is described below.
3. What we store, and why
| Data | Why | Who can see it |
|---|---|---|
| Your account: email address; if you sign in with Apple or Google, the name and email they share with us. | To sign you in (a one-time code by email, or Apple / Google sign-in) and to recover your account. | Only you and us. |
| Your profile: display name, optional photo, languages, app language, city. | So the parents you are connected with know who you are, and so the app speaks your language. | Parents you have connected with, by QR code or link. Nobody can search for you. |
| Your children: a name or nickname, year and month of birth, and the things they dislike or fear (for example loud places). | To suggest places and events that fit their age and to plan outings they will enjoy. | Parents you are connected with see the name and age when you plan something together. |
| A child's safety card (optional): allergies, medical notes and an emergency phone number. | So the parent hosting a party or sleepover your child goes to knows what matters. This is health data; the app asks for your explicit consent before you fill it in. | Only the host of a gathering your child is attending, and only while it lasts. Never public, never used for anything else. |
| Your plans: outings, invitations, answers, lists of what to bring, gift pools and who gives a lift. | That is the point of the app. | The parents invited to that plan. |
| Your ratings and reviews of playgrounds, parks and venues, and photos of places you add. | To help other families choose a place. | Public, with your display name. Please do not photograph children; we remove such photos when we see them or when they are reported. |
| Notification token (if you turn notifications on). | To tell you about invitations, changes and reminders. | Only us. |
We do not collect your phone contacts, your location history, or anything for advertising. There is no advertising in Valego and no analytics or tracking software from third parties inside the app.
4. What stays on your phone
- Location. The app uses your location, with your permission, to show how far places are and to sort them. It is used on the phone and is not stored on our servers.
- Camera. Only to scan another parent's QR code and to take a photo of a place you want to share.
- Photos. Only the picture you pick to add to a place.
- Calendar. Only to add a plan you confirm to your own calendar, on your phone.
5. Translation
Valego works in Spanish, English, Catalan and Russian. Text that other parents write (a review, the title of a plan, a message) may be translated into your language. For that, the text is sent to a translation service run by Anthropic (the makers of Claude) and the result is cached so the same text is not translated twice. Only the text is sent, never your name, email or your children's details. Anthropic processes it under a data processing agreement; where data leaves the European Economic Area, the EU standard contractual clauses apply.
6. Where your data lives, and who helps us
- Supabase hosts the database, sign-in and photo storage, in the EU (Frankfurt, Germany).
- Hetzner (Germany) hosts this website and the daily import of public event data.
- Apple and Google, if you choose to sign in with them, and for notifications.
- Anthropic, for translation (section 5).
Playground, park and event information comes from public sources: OpenStreetMap and the open data of the Ajuntament de Barcelona. That is information about places, not about you.
7. How long we keep it
For as long as you have an account. You can delete your account inside the app (Profile → Delete account); your profile, your children's data, your safety cards and your photos are deleted at once. Ratings you wrote may remain without your name. Backups are overwritten within 30 days.
8. Your rights
You can see, correct, export (Profile → Export my data) and delete your data at any time, object to or restrict a use of it, and withdraw a consent you gave (for example the safety card). Write to hola@valego.app. You can also complain to the Spanish data protection authority, the AEPD.
9. Legal bases (GDPR)
Providing the service you asked for (art. 6.1.b) for your account, profile, children's basic details and plans; your consent (art. 6.1.a and 9.2.a) for the safety card, location, camera, photos, calendar and notifications; our legitimate interest in keeping the service safe and working (art. 6.1.f) for technical logs.
10. Changes
If this policy changes in a way that matters, the app tells you before the change applies.
