Privacy,
plainly stated.

Information you keep in ExpoGuest

ExpoGuest stores the information you enter in a local database and app files on your device. This can include event schedules, travel and reservation details, contacts, contracts, notes, sales, expenses, compensation, receipts, business-card images, and photographs.

You do not create an ExpoGuest account. ExpoGuest does not automatically upload your event database, financial records, contracts, or captured images to our servers. The app does not include advertising or third-party advertising and analytics SDKs, and we do not sell your personal information.

Sales and Square checkout

Sales, expenses, compensation, and other financial records are stored locally on your device. You can choose to export reports or a full private backup and save, email, or share it using another app or service.

ExpoGuest can optionally connect an eligible seller’s Square account and compatible Square Reader through Square’s Mobile Payments SDK to accept in-person card payments. For a Square checkout, ExpoGuest shares the checkout amount, selected business location, and information needed to authorize and process that transaction with Square. Square handles card entry and payment processing. ExpoGuest does not store payment-card numbers, bank-account information, or card credentials.

ExpoGuest stores the resulting sale amount, payment status, and Square payment reference in its local event database so the seller can reconcile and report booth sales. Connection credentials needed to keep the seller signed in are stored on the device using secure storage and can be removed by disconnecting Square in ExpoGuest. Square handles information it receives under its own Privacy Notice.

Location and place searches

If you choose Use My Location and grant permission, ExpoGuest accesses your device’s location to fill a ride pickup or destination field. ExpoGuest does not track your location in the background.

When you use place search, ExpoGuest sends relevant search text, selected place identifiers, airport codes, temporary search-session identifiers, and, where applicable, a location used to improve results to our hosted lookup service. That service requests results from Google Places. These requests do not include your financial records or full event database.

Our lookup service is hosted by Expo. Expo and its infrastructure providers may handle technical information such as IP addresses, request times, and operational logs to operate and secure the service. Our lookup handlers do not save searches to an application database. Google and Expo handle information they receive under their respective privacy policy and privacy policy.

Camera, files, calendar, and sharing

With your permission, ExpoGuest uses the camera to photograph business cards and people you meet. Captured images are stored in the app’s local files. ExpoGuest does not automatically upload them, perform facial recognition, or send them to an image-analysis service.

You may select documents and receipts to attach to records. ExpoGuest accesses only the files you select. Images and attachments may be included in a full private backup. Optional calendar features access calendars only as needed to let you select a calendar and export or update entries you choose.

Email, print, and sharing features prepare material for your review in your mail app or device sharing interface. Recipients, storage providers, and other apps receive what you choose to send or save and handle it under their own policies. Full private backups can contain sensitive records and attachments and are not encrypted by ExpoGuest; share and store them carefully.

Retention, deletion, and security

Local records remain until you change or delete them, clear the app’s data, or delete the app. Archiving an event keeps it. Some exported files, device backups, calendar entries, or copies shared with others must be deleted separately. We cannot remotely erase local records on your phone or copies held by recipients and providers.

If you contact support or privacy assistance, we receive the email address, message, and any attachments you send and use them to respond and resolve the request. Support correspondence is retained while needed for that purpose and any applicable obligation. You may request deletion of correspondence we hold at joe@expoguest.com.

If you separately ask to join the ExpoGuest updates list, we keep your email address and request so we can send occasional, meaningful product announcements. We do not send scheduled daily, weekly, or monthly updates, sell or rent the list, or use it for unrelated marketing. Joining is optional and separate from purchasing the app or sending feedback. You can unsubscribe at any time by replying to an update or emailing joe@expoguest.com. We remove your address from the list when you unsubscribe. An email delivery provider may process your address only to deliver these messages on our behalf.

We use HTTPS for ExpoGuest’s hosted lookup requests. Local protection also depends on your device’s security, permissions, and backup settings. No storage or transmission method can be guaranteed completely secure.

Children and policy changes

ExpoGuest is designed for convention guests and other people managing professional events. It is not directed to children under 13. We may update this policy when features or information practices change; this page will show the effective date.
