Thescenezone Policies

Launch Policies

Company / legal

• Publishable Privacy Policy, Terms of Use, and Refunds/Cancellations (esp. for tickets).
• Implement in-app account deletion and a web URL for account/data deletion.
• Ensure compliance with India’s DPDP Act 2023 (data protection contact)

Payments and Tickets

• Use third-party payments (Stripe/Razorpay) that includes apple pay
• If you pay out artists/venues, use a marketplace processor (e.g., Stripe Connect) to handle KYC/AML, payouts, and tax forms. Don’t build this yourself.

User-generated Content (UGC) photos upload

• Add report/block, moderation, content filters, and an EULA / house rules (no abuse/illegal content).

Privacy and Data

• Fill Apple’s App Privacy (privacy “nutrition labels”) and Google Play’s Data Safety truthfully (SDKs, data types, purposes, sharing).
• App Store Review Guidelines: read end-to-end; focus on 1.2 (UGC), 5.1 (Privacy), Sign in with Apple, account deletion (initiate inside app).
• If you use ad tracking or certain SDKs, implement App Tracking Transparency (ATT) prompts on iOS.

Permissions

• Location (foreground; background only if truly necessary for “nearby events” even when app is closed; otherwise avoid).
• Notifications (Android 13+ needs runtime permission; iOS requires user consent).
• Photos/Media, Camera, Contacts only if you actually use them—explain the purpose in-app.

Build targets

• Android: meet Play’s target API deadline. New apps/updates must target Android 15 (API 35) from Aug 31, 2025.
• iOS: support current iOS; include Sign in with Apple if you offer third-party logins (policy keeps shifting, but adding it avoids friction)

Store Assets

• Play: app icon 512×512 PNG, feature graphic 1024×500, compliant screenshots.
• App Store: required iPhone (6.7″ or 6.5″) + iPad screenshots (check current spec table).

Observability and Reliability

• Crash reports (sentry/firebase crashlytics)
• Logging Metrics and Google Analytics.
