Introduction
Welcome to Jerry. Jerry is a mobile platform for the coordination of artists (Performers) and show producers (Producers). It enables the creation and management of shows, the booking of performance slots ("Spots"), and the communication between all parties involved.
We are committed to protecting your personal data and respecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have. It applies to all users of the Jerry mobile application, available on iOS and Android.
This policy complies with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (EU) 2016/679 and is designed to meet global best practices.

The data controller responsible for the processing of your personal data is the operator of the Jerry application. For any questions regarding this Privacy Policy or your personal data, please contact us at:
privacy@jerry-app.comWhat Data We Collect
We collect personal data in the following categories, depending on your role as a Performer or Producer.
3.1 Account Data (all users)
- Full name
- Email address
This data is provided during registration and is required to create and manage your account.
3.2 Profile Data (Performers)
- Gender / FLINTA identity (optional, self-disclosed)
Performers may optionally indicate their gender or FLINTA identity. This information is used solely to control visibility of certain shows or spots reserved for specific groups. This is a voluntary, self-determined setting that can be changed or removed at any time.
3.3 Show Data (Producers)

The list of participants in a show is not publicly visible. Once a show ends, it is archived and no longer visible to non-participating users.
3.4 Experience Level Ratings
Producers may optionally assign an experience level to individual Performers. This rating:
- Is entirely subjective and defined by each Producer individually (custom scale)
- May differ between Producers for the same Performer
- Is used to filter show and spot visibility for Performers
- Can be changed or removed by the Producer at any time
3.5 Booking & Participation Data (Performers)
- Spot requests submitted by the Performer (stored and archived)
- Shows the Performer has participated in (archived)
- Personal availability dates set by the Performer
3.6 Communication Data
- Messages sent in show-specific chats
- Real-time show updates sent by Producers to participants
Each show has a chat accessible only to its participants. After the show ends, the chat is archived and remains accessible to participants for 24 months, after which it is permanently deleted.
3.7 Push Notifications
The App sends push notifications as a core part of the user experience. You may disable these in App settings or via your device settings at any time. We store your notification preferences as part of your account.
3.8 Technical Data
- Device type and operating system (iOS/Android)
- App version
- Crash logs and error reports (used solely for bug fixing)
