Template policy — review with a legal professional and adapt to your jurisdiction (e.g. South Africa POPIA / EU GDPR) before launch.
The Gruvs ("we", "us") helps you discover events, connect with other vibers, and build your talent profile. This policy explains what we collect, why, and your choices.

- Activity — events you RSVP to, vibes, reactions, reels, check-ins, follows, and content you post.

- Provide and personalise the app (recommendations, nearby discovery, your talent/career profile).
- Notifications you opt into (event reminders, messages, mentions).
