Privacy & Cookies

Last updated: June 2026

Sponto helps you discover and create events and venues — on this site and over WhatsApp. We try to collect as little as possible to make that work, and we never sell your data. This page explains what we keep, why, and how to get it removed.

Who we are

Sponto is operated by [legal entity name], [registered address], Belgium (company/VAT number [BE0…]). For any privacy question, email contact@sponto.eu.

What we collect

  • Location. Your approximate or precise location, so we can show what's happening near you. You're always in control — you can browse without sharing it.
  • WhatsApp messages. When you message Sponto, we process your phone number and the content of your messages to answer you and surface events.
  • Account details. If you create an account or list a venue, we keep your email and the events/venues you manage.
  • Payment data. Subscriptions are handled by Stripe. We never see or store your full card details — Stripe does, under their own privacy terms.
  • Usage & device data. Basic analytics (pages visited, rough region, device type) to understand what's working.

Cookies & analytics

We use a small number of cookies to keep your session and remember your location preference. We also use Google Analytics to measure how Sponto is used. Analytics cookies are not essential — you can block them in your browser, and Sponto will keep working.

Why we're allowed to use it

We process your data to provide the service you asked for (showing and creating events), on the basis of your consent (location, analytics) and our legitimate interest in running and improving Sponto. We keep it only as long as we need it for those purposes.

Your rights

Under the GDPR you can ask to see, correct, export or delete your data, and you can withdraw consent at any time. You can delete your account from your settings — we soft-delete it immediately and permanently remove it after a short grace period. To exercise any right, email contact@sponto.eu. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Belgian Data Protection Authority (gegevensbeschermingsautoriteit.be).

Sharing

We share data only with the providers that make Sponto run — for example Stripe (payments), our messaging and hosting providers, and Google Analytics — and only what they need to do their job. We don't sell your data to anyone.

Changes

We may update this page as Sponto evolves. When we make a meaningful change, we'll update the date at the top. Questions? Reach us at contact@sponto.eu.
