Location-Based Searches with Privacy in Mind
FERGIE can help find events near you or near a location you enter. If you choose to share your precise location, it can improve nearby results. If you do not, FERGIE uses Darwin as the default location.

Your search request, and your location if you choose to share it, are only used to help find relevant events. We do not send account details or payment information to the AI service.
