Last updated: March 19, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how MX Interactive, LLC d/b/a Gayborhood Global ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you visit gayborhood.com (the "Site") or create an account.

Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information:

  • Account information — your name, email address, and profile details when you create an account.
  • Authentication data — if you sign in via Google, Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, or X, we receive your name, email, and a unique identifier from that provider. We do not receive or store your third-party password.
  • Trip plans & queries — trip plans you create, travel queries you submit, and preferences you provide.
  • Venue feedback — reviews, ratings, and comments you share about destinations and venues.
  • Email subscription — your email address when you subscribe to our mailing list.
  • Usage data — standard web analytics (pages visited, referring site, browser type, device type). We do not use this data to personally identify you.

How We Use Your Information

  • To create and maintain your account.
  • To process and respond to your travel queries using AI-assisted tools.
  • To enable trip plan sharing between users you authorize.
  • To display venue feedback and reviews on the Site.
  • To send you safety briefings, destination updates, and travel intelligence you subscribed to.
  • To notify you when new features or services launch.
  • To improve our AI models and content quality using aggregated, de-identified data.
  • To understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve it.

How We Share Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share data in the following circumstances:

  • With other users — trip plans are shared only with users you explicitly choose to share with. Venue feedback may be displayed to other users on the Site.
  • Authentication providers — we exchange limited data with Google, Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, or X as necessary to facilitate sign-in.
  • Service providers — we share data with providers who help us operate the Site (e.g., email delivery, hosting, analytics), but only as necessary to provide those services.
  • Legal requirements — we may disclose information if required by law, subpoena, or legal process.

Data Retention

Account data is retained while your account is active. You may delete your account at any time — we will delete your personal data within 30 days, except as required by law or for legitimate business purposes.

Venue feedback may be retained in anonymized form after account deletion to preserve the integrity of community reviews.

  • Authentication — session cookies to keep you signed in.
  • Preferences — cookies to remember your settings.
  • Analytics — minimal analytics cookies to understand Site usage.

We do not use advertising cookies or cross-site tracking.

Account Security

We use industry-standard security measures to protect your data. Third-party authentication (Google, Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, X) is handled by those providers under their own security practices.

You are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure. If you suspect unauthorized access to your account, notify us immediately at [email protected].
