Privacy Policy

Cookout · operated under Technology Solutions (TSF Inc.)

Effective: June 10, 2026

1. What this is

Cookout is a private, invite-only app a single friend group uses to organize get-togethers. It is not open to the public. Members are added by the group administrator with their permission.

2. Information we collect

• Name (the display name you choose for the group).
• Phone number — your identifier for signing in and, if you opt in, for SMS.
• PIN — stored only as a one-way hash; we never see or store your actual PIN.
• Activity you create — plans, date votes, RSVPs, "what to bring" items, signals, and any photos you upload to an event.

3. How we use it

Information is used only to run the app for your group: to sign you in, show the group's plans and activity, and — if you have opted in to SMS — to send login codes and event/group notifications.

4. SMS notifications

If you opt in to SMS, your phone number is used solely to send the messages described at cookout.scroggindaz.com/sms-consent (login codes and event/group notifications). Consent is optional, separate from creating your account, and off by default. Reply STOP to opt out at any time. Message and data rates may apply.

5. Sharing

We do not sell personal information and we do not share it for advertising. Your name and activity are visible only to members of your private group. Data is shared only with the service providers needed to run the app (server hosting and, once enabled, SMS delivery).

6. Photos

Photos you upload are re-encoded on our server (which strips embedded metadata) and are visible only to members of your group.

7. Retention

We keep your information for as long as you remain a member of the group. Ask the administrator to remove you, or contact us, to have your data deleted.

8. Your choices

You can turn SMS consent on or off at any time from your profile ("You" → Text message consent), or reply STOP to opt out of texts.
