Privacy Policy
Last updated May 2026
Who we are
queer.bar is a map-first guide to queer nightlife. This policy covers the current public site. Contact: privacy@queer.bar.
What we collect
Locally on your device (browser localStorage): venues you follow, events you save, bar hops you create, and any hen-party reports you submit. This never leaves your device unless a backend is later enabled.
Geolocation: only when you tap "Around me" or "Report hen party", and only to show nearby venues / place a report. We do not track your location in the background or store it on a server in this build.
Server logs: our host (Vercel) records standard request logs (IP, user-agent, timestamp) for security and operations.
What we do NOT do
No accounts, no advertising trackers, no third-party analytics, no selling of data, no profiling. Hen-party reports are anonymous and approximate.
Legal basis (GDPR/UK GDPR)
Local storage and geolocation are used with your consent (Article 6(1)(a)). Server logs are processed under legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f)) for security.
Your rights
Access, rectify, erase, restrict, port, and object. Because your saved data lives on your device, you can exercise access/erasure/portability instantly on the Privacy Settings page (export or delete). For server logs, contact us.
Retention
Hen-party reports auto-expire after 6 hours. Other local data persists until you clear it. Host logs follow the provider's retention schedule.
Children
Nightlife content is intended for adults (18+). The service is not directed at children.
These documents are provided in good faith and describe how queer.bar currently works. They are drafts and not legal advice; have them reviewed by a qualified lawyer before relying on them. Compliance with GDPR, the UK Data Protection Act 2018, and US/EU privacy laws is an ongoing organisational responsibility, not something software alone establishes.
