TL;DR

We collect only what we need to run the party. Face Matching sends scan frames to our servers solely to create an irreversible FaceVector, then discards the images. Your location is checked when you use nearby/discover or check in — not tracked continuously. You own your photos. We never sell your data. Mobile numbers and SMS consent are never shared with third parties for their marketing. Event hosts and venue partners never see your email address or phone number.

Last updated: September 18, 2026

1. Who We Are

PXIStudio ("PXI," "we," "us," "our") is a Social Media Studio combining event photo-sharing, ticketing, gamification, and analog-emulative media creation into one platform. We are operated by PXI LABS LLC, headquartered at 5850 Town and Country Blvd Suite 403, Frisco TX 75034, USA.

Our Services include: (i) event discovery and ticketing, (ii) spatially-grouped event photo albums, (iii) the Odyssey gamification system, (iv) the Analog Engine media creation suite, (v) real-time event social features, and (vi) tools for event hosts and venue partners. These Terms apply to all of these Services collectively.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Account & Identity Data

When you create a PXI account, we collect: Phone number (E.164 format; used for OTP/account verification and, where you separately opt in, for the PXI SMS Program described in Section 2.8; we do not store passwords), Display name and username, Date of birth (for age eligibility verification; birth year is never shared with other users), Optional: profile photo, biography, and social media handles, Optional: email address (for account recovery and legal notices).

Authentication: PXI uses PASETO v4 (public) tokens signed with Ed25519 for all session management. Tokens are cryptographically signed and encode your userId, role, and isVendor/isStaff status. No raw session UUIDs or passwords are stored server-side. Local encryption of sensitive payload data uses XChaCha20-Poly1305 with a 192-bit nonce.

2.2 Location Data — The Event Lock

To unlock event-specific photo albums and show nearby events, PXI may request your location while you use the app (when-in-use). Location is used to check your latitude and longitude against a ~1km Haversine radius around the event venue (for example at ticket scan / check-in) and to rank nearby events in Discover. We do NOT request Always/background location permission and we do NOT continuously track your location when the app is closed. Aggregate spatial metadata may be retained for safety and fraud prevention for up to 90 days.

2.3 Biometric Data — BIPA Disclosure (Illinois)

PXI's Face Matching feature (also called "Find My Shots") uses facial geometry vector scanning ("FaceVector") to identify your photos within shared event albums. This feature is subject to the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CPRA Sensitive Data provisions), and analogous state laws.

  • If you opt in, guided capture frames from your camera are transmitted securely (TLS) to PXI servers solely so we can derive your FaceVector. Frames are held in memory during processing and permanently discarded immediately after vector extraction — we do not store raw biometric images or face crops from enrollment.
  • The FaceVector is a mathematical list of numbers that cannot reasonably be reversed into a photo. Only this vector is retained on PXI servers, encrypted in transit (TLS) and encrypted at rest.
  • The stored vector is used strictly to (a) match you in event photos you attend and (b) send you a "you're in a photo" alert. It is never used for advertising, identity verification for login, law-enforcement watchlists, or any purpose beyond photo matching.
  • A distinct, upfront Biometric Consent Screen with plain-language explanation is required before this feature is activated — affirmative opt-in only.
  • Photos uploaded to event albums are scanned to derive per-face vectors so opted-in attendees can be matched to their photos. We store vectors only — never face crops created solely for this matching process.
  • Web guests without the app may run a one-time face scan to find themselves in an event gallery. The scan frame is sent once over an encrypted connection for that single gallery match; the frame is discarded after embedding and is not stored as an enrollment profile unless you separately opt in to Face Matching in the app.
  • You may revoke consent at any time via Settings > Apps > Face Matching.
  • Upon revocation, your server-stored enrollment vector is deleted immediately; previously matched photo tags remain visible until manually removed by you.
  • We NEVER sell, lease, rent, trade, or profit from biometric data.
  • Biometric data is never shared with third parties except: (i) infrastructure and cloud storage providers strictly as necessary to store and process the encrypted vector, and (ii) as required by valid legal process.

Retention: Enrollment vectors are retained until the earliest of: (i) revocation of your consent, (ii) deletion of your account, or (iii) three (3) years following your last interaction with the Services.

2.4 Media & Content Data

We collect content you actively create or upload: Photos and videos uploaded to Event Albums, The Wall, The Vault, or The Circle. Voice notes you record in direct messages, group chats, or event album threads (audio files and duration metadata; typically capped at about 60 seconds). Metadata: upload timestamp, event association, media type, file size. Analog Engine processing parameters: ZSL (Zero Shutter Lag), Halation, Film Grain shader settings applied at render time. These parameters are PXI's proprietary aesthetic layer; the underlying raw photo remains yours. Captions, comments, reactions, and text messages you post. Number of retakes before posting (used to improve camera experience, not stored permanently). Uploaded media may be scanned by automated systems (for example NSFW safety classifiers) to enforce Community Standards.

2.5 Usage, Engagement & Gamification Data

App interactions: album joins, ticket scans, photo uploads, reactions, shares, comment posts, messages sent. Odyssey/Gamification data: XP earned per action, Stamp tier achieved, Leaderboard position, event attendance history. Event-specific behavior: Hype Gate activity, Grace Time uploads, Circle content views, check-in confirmations. Device and network data: device type, OS version, browser/app version, IP-based approximate location (city-level), and push notification tokens. PXI does not use the advertising identifier (IDFA/GAID) for tracking. Crash logs, error diagnostics, and performance monitoring data. When you take a screenshot within the app (we may notify the relevant album host).

2.6 Event & Ticketing Data (Attendees)

Ticket purchase records and order history. RSVP and attendance status. Payment confirmation numbers (NOT full card details — those are held by Stripe). Event check-in timestamp and location confirmation. Contacts: with your permission, we may read your device contacts on-device to suggest people you may already know on PXI (Circle suggestions) and to help you invite friends. We do not upload or permanently store your full address book on PXI servers; only the connections or invites you choose to act on create server-side records.

2.7 Vendor, Host & Organizer Data

If you register as a Tier 3 Vendor/Host, we additionally collect: Legal name, business name (DBA), address, EIN/tax identification number. Bank account/payout information (processed via Stripe Connect; PXI does not store raw bank details). Government-issued ID (when required for identity verification for high-volume payouts). Event proceeds history, fee records, chargeback history. Staff delegation records (who you assigned as Co-host, Photographer, Promoter, or Bouncer). Messaging Service communication logs (for SMS/event blast compliance).

2.8 SMS / Mobile Messaging Data (A2P 10DLC)

If you provide a mobile number and opt in to text messages, we collect and process: your mobile phone number; SMS/MMS opt-in and opt-out status and timestamps; message delivery logs (sent, delivered, failed); and keyword replies such as STOP and HELP. This data is used solely to operate the PXI SMS Program (transactional event notifications, account/security alerts, and — only with separate marketing consent — promotional messages sent by PXI on behalf of Event Hosts and Venue Partners).

  • Non-sharing of mobile information: We do not sell, rent, or share your mobile phone number or SMS opt-in consent with third parties, affiliates, or partners for their own marketing or promotional purposes. Mobile numbers are shared only with our SMS delivery provider (currently Twilio) as a processor necessary to send messages you consented to receive, or as required by law.
  • Message frequency: Message frequency varies. You may receive recurring messages related to events you join or host; typical volume is up to several messages per event you attend or organize, plus occasional account or marketing messages if you opted in. Exact frequency depends on your activity and preferences.
  • Rates: Message and data rates may apply. Your carrier's standard messaging rates apply to messages sent to you and from you.
  • Consent: Providing a phone number for account verification is not the same as SMS marketing consent. Marketing texts require a separate affirmative opt-in. Consent to receive texts is not a condition of any purchase.
  • Opt-out: Reply STOP to any PXI SMS to unsubscribe, or manage SMS preferences in Settings. Reply HELP for assistance, or email support@pxispace.com. Full program terms are in Terms of Service §12.

2.9 In-App Messaging & Voice Notes

PXI includes direct messages, group chats, and event album threads. When you use these features we process: message text; voice notes (audio recordings you create with the microphone, typically up to about 60 seconds) and their duration; shared media, GIFs, stickers, and event cards you attach; conversation participant IDs; delivery/read metadata; and report/block actions.

  • Voice notes and chat media are stored on our cloud storage providers (for example Cloudflare R2) so recipients can play them, subject to the retention rules in Section 5.
  • Messages are visible to conversation participants. Event album threads may be visible to other attendees of that event.
  • You can block or report users. We review reports under our Community Standards and may remove content or restrict accounts. Automated classifiers may scan uploaded images for prohibited content; voice notes and text are primarily moderated reactively via user reports.
  • This section covers in-app chat. SMS/text messages with carriers are covered separately in Section 2.8 and Terms §12.

2.10 Music Match (Apple Music)

Music Match is an optional feature. It uses the sound you pick in the app and the events you save, join and attend. If you also connect Apple Music, we receive your library songs, recently played and heavy rotation (artists, genres and related metadata) solely to score how well your taste overlaps with events. Apple Music data is never used for advertising, never shared with organizers or other third parties, and never used to identify you. We do not change anything in your music library. Spotify connections made before October 6, 2026 are treated the same way until you disconnect them; new Spotify connections are no longer offered.

  • Connecting Apple Music is an affirmative opt-in through Apple's own authorization, after PXI shows what it reads.
  • You may disconnect at any time; disconnecting deletes your Music Match profile/taste data stored by PXI.
  • Music providers process your account data under their own privacy policies when you authorize the connection.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your information for the following purposes:

  • Providing and operating the Services (account creation, event access, album grouping, photo matching, ticketing, payouts).
  • Running the Event Lock: computing your Haversine proximity to an event venue to unlock albums.
  • Biometric photo matching: identifying photos you appear in at events you attend (opt-in only; enrollment frames processed to create vectors that are stored; raw enrollment images discarded after processing).
  • Operating in-app messaging, including voice notes you send to other users.
  • Music Match: ranking events by the taste you pick in the app and, if you connect it, Apple Music.
  • Running the Odyssey gamification system: awarding XP, Stamps, and Leaderboard rankings.
  • Processing ticket purchases, distributing payouts to vendors via Stripe Connect.
  • Personalizing your feed, event recommendations, and suggested connections based on attendance history.
  • Venue analytics: giving venue partners aggregate figures about events held at their venue, such as attendance, check-in times and photo volume. These figures never identify an individual. See Section 4.2.
  • Audience insights: combining your activity on PXI (events you attend, the price band of the tickets you chose, music taste you choose to connect, the accounts you follow, and engagement) to recommend events to you and to estimate, in aggregate, how many people an event may draw. This uses your information only if you have not opted out of personalized sharing. Hosts and venue partners never see this profile. See Sections 4.2 and 6.1.
  • Safety, fraud prevention, and abuse detection (e.g., detecting spoofed GPS, fake tickets, account manipulation).
  • Sending transactional communications: ticket confirmations, event reminders, payout notifications, and (where consented) SMS/MMS event and account alerts.
  • Sending marketing communications by email or SMS (only with your explicit opt-in for that channel; unsubscribe available at any time via email Unsubscribe links or by replying STOP to SMS).
  • Complying with legal obligations, responding to law enforcement requests, enforcing our Terms.
  • Improving the platform through aggregated, anonymized analytics and A/B testing.

4. How We Share Your Information

4.1 With Other Users (by Design)

  • Your profile photo, display name, and Odyssey rank are visible to users in shared event albums you join.
  • Photos you upload to an Event Album are visible to other verified attendees of that event.
  • The Wall (public archive): visible to all PXI users.
  • The Vault: private (visible only to you).
  • The Circle: ephemeral (visible only to your Circle contacts; auto-deleted after 24 hours).
  • Hype Gate content: visible only to ticket-verified pre-event attendees.
  • Photos you are tagged in remain visible to album participants even after you leave the album. You may request removal by contacting privacy@pxispace.com.
  • Screenshots: we may notify the relevant album host when another user takes a screenshot within a private album.

4.2 With Event Hosts and Venue Partners

Event hosts (the organizers of events) and venue partners (venues where events on PXI take place) are held to the same privacy standard. Neither ever receives your email address or phone number.

  • What they can see about you: your display name, username, profile photo, how many of their events you attended, when you last checked in, the ticket tier you chose, and your Odyssey engagement tier. A host sees this for its own events. A venue partner sees it for events held at its venue, whoever organized them.
  • When you are not shown by name in audience lists: if you opt out of personalized sharing (see Section 6.1), or you are in a region where we need your permission first and have not given it, you are counted in totals but your name, username and photo are not shown in the audience lists and insights that hosts and venue partners use.
  • At the door: when your ticket is scanned, the host and their door staff see your name, username and profile photo so they can check you in. This applies only to tickets for their own event and is not affected by your sharing choices, because it is needed to let you in.
  • Aggregate analytics for venues: venue partners also see totals for events at their venue: attendance, tickets sold, photo and video volume, check-ins by hour of day, the share of first-time and returning guests, and age bands and cities. They also see where in the venue photos were taken and which entrances guests were scanned at, drawn as a heat map of the room and as entrance totals across events. All of these are totals: they never identify who took a photo or who came through which door. Age and city figures are withheld when too few people attended for them to stay anonymous.
  • Contacting you — the masked relay: hosts and venue partners cannot see or export your contact details, and cannot send you anything themselves. When one of them wants to reach their past guests, they write the message and choose an audience; PXI sends it, from PXI's own systems, to the people who opted in. They are told how many people it reached, never who. Every message says "Sent via PXI on behalf of" the host or venue, carries PXI's postal address, and carries a one-click unsubscribe link (email) or the STOP keyword (SMS) that stops the channel immediately. Your address and number never leave PXI.
  • Venues and events held there: a venue partner's audience is everyone who attended an event held at that venue, including events that happened before the venue joined PXI, and whoever organized them. PXI attaches a past event to a venue only when PXI staff confirm the match. Nothing about you moves between venues: a night you spent at one venue is never visible to another.
  • No revenue to venues: venue partners do not receive ticket prices paid, revenue, payouts or fees for events at their venue.
  • How venue access is granted: a venue partner receives access only when PXI staff grant it. It cannot be requested or taken from within the app, and when PXI withdraws it, access ends immediately.
  • Hosts and venue partners are contractually bound by PXI's Vendor Agreement, may use this information only in connection with their events and venue, and may NOT sell or license your personal data to third parties.

4.3 With Sub-Licensed Parties (Vendor Sub-Licensing)

When you grant PXI a license to your content, PXI may sub-license that content to: a) Event Vendors/Hosts: for the specific event album you participated in; b) Staff delegated by the Host (Co-hosts, Photographers) under a sub-license tied strictly to that event; c) PXI's service providers (Cloudflare, cloud storage) as technically necessary to deliver the Services.

Limitations: Sub-licenses to Vendors are SCOPED and expire when the event album closes or the Vendor's account is terminated. Vendors may NOT sub-license your content to unaffiliated third parties (e.g., ad agencies, data brokers). Vendors may NOT use your content for purposes beyond event documentation and promotion without your separate written consent. PXI does NOT sub-license your content for advertising or AI training purposes without separate explicit consent.

4.4 With Service Providers

Stripe, Inc. (payments), Cloudflare (Edge middleware, CDN, R2 storage for photos, videos, and voice notes), facial geometry processing on PXI servers for Face Matching, Analytics providers (aggregated, non-PII data only), Apple's Apple Music API when you connect Apple Music to Music Match, and SMS/Push notification providers (including Twilio, Inc., which processes mobile numbers and message content solely to deliver messages on our behalf).

SMS consent & mobile numbers — no third-party marketing sharing: Mobile phone numbers collected for SMS/text messaging, and the associated opt-in consent records, will not be shared, sold, rented, or otherwise disclosed to third parties, affiliates, or any other entities for those parties' marketing or promotional purposes. We share mobile numbers only with our SMS delivery provider as a data processor necessary to transmit messages you requested, or when required by applicable law.

4.5 Legal Obligations & Business Transfers

We may disclose your information: (i) as required by law, court order, or valid legal process; (ii) to protect the safety of users or the public; (iii) in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets (with reasonable prior notice to users).

4.6 Advertising Partners & “Sharing”

We advertise PXI on Google, Meta (Facebook and Instagram), TikTok and X. To measure which ads work, and to show PXI ads to people who have already visited us, we share a limited set of information with those companies. This happens only with your consent, and only two kinds of information are involved:

  • From your browser or the app: the page or screen you viewed, the ticket value, and an advertising cookie or device identifier. Never your name, email address or phone number.
  • From our servers, when a ticket purchase completes: a SHA-256 hashed, irreversible version of your email address, phone number and PXI user id, so the sale can be matched to the ad that led to it. The plaintext never leaves PXI and the hash cannot be turned back into your details. If you have opted out, nothing is sent at all.

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act this counts as “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising, and several other US state privacy laws treat it as targeted advertising. It is not a sale: we never receive money for your personal information.

To opt out, use the Cookie settings link in the footer of any page — it works in every state and country, whether or not you were shown a banner. We honour the Global Privacy Control signal automatically. On iOS, declining the App Tracking Transparency prompt stops advertising identifiers being collected in the app. The Cookie Policy lists the exact cookie names.

Biometric data, precise location, and the contents of your messages are never shared with advertising partners, in any form, hashed or otherwise.

4.7 No Sale of Personal Data; Mobile Information

We do not sell personal information. We do not sell, rent, or share mobile phone numbers or SMS consent data with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Message and data rates may apply to SMS communications. Message frequency varies as described in Section 2.8.

5. Data Retention

  • Account data: Until account deletion + 30-day grace period.
  • Event album photos (The Wall): Indefinite (public archive) unless deleted by user.
  • The Circle content: 24 hours from upload (auto-deleted).
  • The Vault content: Until manually deleted by user.
  • Hype Gate content: Deleted at event start time.
  • Biometric vectors: Until consent revoked, account deletion, or 3 years from last interaction — whichever is earliest.
  • In-app messages & voice notes: Retained for the life of the conversation or until deleted by participants / account deletion, subject to legal holds and safety investigations.
  • Music Match taste profiles: Until you disconnect Music Match or delete your account.
  • Audience insight profiles: Refreshed regularly. Deleted when you opt out of personalized sharing or delete your account.
  • Location data (Event Lock): Deleted after proximity / clustering computation; aggregate metadata up to 90 days.
  • Payment and ticketing records: 7 years (tax/legal/compliance requirements).
  • Usage and analytics data: 24 months rolling.
  • Odyssey/XP/Stamp data: For the life of your account; deleted upon account deletion.
  • Vendor payout and chargeback records: 7 years.
  • SMS/messaging logs: 3 years (TCPA compliance).

6. Your Privacy Rights

6.1 All Users

Access and download a copy of your data: Settings > Privacy > Download My Data. Correct inaccurate profile data at any time within Settings. Delete your account and associated data: Settings > Account > Delete Account. Revoke biometric consent: Settings > Apps > Face Matching. Disconnect Music Match from the Music Match / music connect screen or Settings. Opt out of marketing email: Settings > Notifications > Marketing, or click Unsubscribe in any email. Opt out of SMS at any time by replying STOP to a PXI text message, or via Settings > Notifications > SMS; reply HELP for SMS help. Opt out of personalized sharing, which stops you being shown by name in the audience lists of event hosts and venue partners (door check-in is not affected) and stops audience insight profiling: use the Cookie settings link in the footer of any page, send a Global Privacy Control signal, or email privacy@pxispace.com. You will still be counted in totals. Report content or request removal of tagged photos: In-app report button or privacy@pxispace.com.

6.2 California Residents (CCPA / CPRA)

California residents have the right to: Know, Access, Delete, Correct, Opt-Out of Sale/Sharing, and Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Data. We do not sell personal data for money. We do use advertising cookies from Google, Meta, TikTok and X for remarketing and conversion measurement, which counts as “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising under the CPRA. To opt out, use the Cookie settings link in the footer of any page, or send a Global Privacy Control signal from your browser — we honour GPC automatically. Biometric data is Sensitive Personal Data under CPRA, is collected only with explicit consent, and is never used for advertising. Submit any other request to privacy@pxispace.com with subject line: CCPA Request.

6.3 EU / UK Residents (GDPR)

EU/UK residents have rights to: Access, Rectification, Erasure, Restriction of Processing, Data Portability, Objection, and the right to lodge a complaint with your local Supervisory Authority. Legal bases for PXI's processing: contractual necessity, legitimate interest, and consent. Contact privacy@pxispace.com or our EU/UK data representative.

7. Payment Security

All payment data is processed directly by Stripe, Inc. PXI does not store raw credit card numbers, CVV codes, full bank account numbers, or payment method data on its servers. PXI uses Stripe Connect Destination Charges, meaning funds flow from the consumer to Stripe directly, with automated reconciliation and payout to Vendors. By using ticketing features, you also accept Stripe's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

8. Children's Privacy

PXI is not directed to children under 16 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal data from users under 16. If we become aware of such collection, we will delete it promptly. Age eligibility is verified at account creation via date of birth. Users between 16 and 17 require parental/guardian consent. Contact privacy@pxispace.com if you believe a minor's data has been collected.
