Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 25, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Plezi Nightlife, LLC ("plezi," "we," "us") collects, uses, and shares information when you use the plezi consumer app, partner portal, advertising portal, and our website at plezi.net (the "Service").

Summary

The consumer app does not require an account — you can browse and save venues without one. If you create an optional account (to sync your saved venues across devices), we collect your email. The portals require an account, so we collect the information needed to manage it. We do not process or store full payment card details — advertising payments are handled by Stripe. We share information only with providers that help us run plezi, or when required by law.

Information we collect

Consumer app: an account is optional. Without one, we do not require personal information and the app stores limited preferences locally on your device (saved venues, selected city). If you create an account — using a one-time email code, or by signing in with Google or Apple — we collect your email address (and, for Google or Apple, basic profile information) and store your saved venues on our servers so they sync across your devices; you can delete your account and its data from within the app at any time. Location: with your permission, the app uses your device’s approximate location to show the city and venues nearest you. Your location is used on your device to pick the closest city — we do not store it on our servers or share it, and you can decline and pick a city manually. Partner portal: name, email, account role, and the venue info and photos you submit. Advertising portal: business name, contact name, email, phone, the venue you represent, and ad content; at checkout, our payment processor collects your payment information directly and we receive only limited transaction details. Authentication: if you sign in with Google or Apple, we receive basic profile information (such as your email). Our infrastructure and error-monitoring providers may automatically log technical data (IP, device/browser, timestamps) for security, diagnostics, and operations. In the consumer app, our error-monitoring provider (Sentry) also records a privacy-masked replay of a sample of sessions, and of sessions where something goes wrong: the screens you move through and where you tap, so we can find what is confusing or broken. In these replays all text and anything you type is hidden, images are not recorded, and chat, friends, profiles and your account screens are left out entirely; only public listings (venue names, specials and events) are shown. The consumer app and our website at plezi.net also collect usage analytics (pages and screens viewed, features used, and general device information) via Google Analytics so we can understand what’s useful and improve Plezi; we configure it without advertising features, and we do not use it to build advertising profiles of you.

Profiles: if you create a profile, we store the handle, bio, look and up to five venues you choose, together with the time you accepted the community rules and confirmed you are 18 or older. Your profile is private by default: your friends and the people you share a night with can open it. Someone you have asked to be friends sees your name, emoji and handle while the request is waiting; asking does not open the rest of your profile to them. You may choose to make your profile public, which lets any signed-in Plezi user open it, and separately choose to be findable, which lets your handle be looked up in search; both are off unless you turn them on. Being findable on its own shows your name, emoji and handle to someone who looks up your whole handle, and nothing more. Each part of the profile carries its own audience — your bio, usual spots, interests, dietary need and wish list are private until you widen them, and you can set each one to your friends or to anyone who can open the card. On your profile, your dietary need stops at your friends: it can never be made public. A night works differently, as described under “With other people” below. Your vetoes and other preferences are never shown to anyone.

Friends, nights, wish lists and checking in: we store the friend requests you send or receive and the friendships that result, the nights you organise or join and the places on them, and any wish list you build. A friend request that is not answered within 30 days is deleted; we keep only a note of any notification we sent about it, so the same person is not notified about you twice. If you heart a place on a night, we store that, and only you can see it. If you check in at a venue (“I’m here”) we store which venue and when. It is seen by the friends you share your nights out with (nobody, unless you pick some or all of your friends), by the organiser of the night you checked in on, and, only if you turn that on, by everyone on that night. They see it from half an hour before the night’s first stop (or straight away, if there is no night or no time on it) until 4 a.m. that night in the venue’s city, and the friends you share with may get a notification naming the venue. That is separate from the device location described above: what we store is the venue you tapped and the time, not a position read from your phone. Tapping “I’m good” on a night records that you did and when, and the people on that night can see it; tapped with no night, it goes to the friends you share your nights out with, until 4 a.m.

Your answer on a night and its chat: on each night you are on we store your answer — Going, Maybe or Can’t make it. Joining a night sets it to Going, and choosing Can’t make it keeps you on the night so you can change your mind. If you post in a night’s chat, we store the message, who posted it and when. Before your first message you accept the community rules and confirm you are 18 or older, and we store when you did; this applies to guests who joined by invitation link without an account too. Seven days after a night takes place (or, for a night with no date, seven days after it was made), we delete its chat, what people said they want, “I’m good” marks, its votes, its join requests and any invitations not yet answered, and unlink any check-ins from it. Anyone who answered Can’t make it is taken off the night, other than the organiser, and Maybe answers are cleared. We keep the night’s name, date, city, places and who was on it, so you can plan it again and see who you have been out with, until one year after the night, when the night is deleted. After that we keep only totals that identify no one, such as how many people a night had. If you allow notifications, a new message on a night you are on sends a notice that says who wrote and on which night, never what they wrote; several messages are grouped into one notice, none is sent between 2 and 9 a.m. in the night’s city, and you can mute any night.

How we use information

To operate and improve the Service; show you what’s nearby using your device location (with permission); create and authenticate accounts; display and keep listings current; review, run, and bill for advertising; process payments and prevent fraud; diagnose crashes and errors; communicate with you about your account, purchases, or support; and comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms.

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We share it with service providers that help us operate the Service under contracts limiting their use — currently Supabase (backend/authentication), Stripe (payments), Netlify (hosting), Google Maps Platform (mapping/geocoding), Sentry (error monitoring), Google Analytics (usage analytics for the consumer app and plezi.net), and Google/Apple (sign-in where you use them). We may also disclose information for legal and safety reasons, or in connection with a business transfer.

With other people, when you choose to: the name and emoji you set are visible to your friends, to the members of a night you join or organise, and to anyone who opens a friend invitation you send. Your name, emoji and handle are also visible to anyone you ask to be friends, while the request is waiting, and, if you are findable, to anyone who looks up your whole handle. The rest of your profile goes only to the audiences you choose. When you answer a night’s questions, your dietary need — the one saved in your preferences, or one you pick just for that night — is listed for everyone on that night without your name, whatever your profile’s dietary setting, unless you pick “Nothing to flag” or turn off “Include me in what the group sees”; in a small group, they may be able to tell it is yours. Your answer on a night (Going, Maybe or Can’t make it) and the messages in its chat are seen only by the people on that night. Anyone shown a night’s invitation preview or night card may see how many people are going; that number counts Going answers only. If you make your profile public, any signed-in Plezi user can open it; if you also make it findable, your handle can be looked up in search. Blocking hides you and the blocked person from each other, including each other’s messages in a night’s chat, ends any friendship between you, and is not disclosed to them. When someone reports a profile, a night, a name, a chat message or a wish list entry, we keep a copy of the reported text and the reporter’s account or network address, and we keep that report even if the reported account is later deleted or the message is deleted with the rest of the night’s chat. Plezi staff review reports and can remove a reported message; the organiser of a night can also remove a message posted on it.

Cookies and local storage

The consumer app uses your browser’s local and session storage to remember preferences and avoid repeating prompts. The portals use storage necessary to keep you signed in. We do not use these to build advertising profiles of you.

Data retention & security

We keep account and advertising information as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Preferences stored on your device remain until you clear them. A night’s chat and other details are deleted 7 days after it takes place (a night with no date, 7 days after it was made), and the night itself one year after it takes place, except the copy of reported text kept with its report. We use reasonable safeguards, including access controls, but no system is completely secure.

Your choices and rights

Consumer app: clear your saved venues and preferences anytime by clearing your browser/site data, and control location access in your device settings. Account holders: update your information in the portal, or contact us to request access, correction, or deletion. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights — contact us to exercise them.

Consumer app: edit or clear your profile at any time under You, change your answer on a night or leave it, mute a night’s chat notifications, block anyone from their profile, from a night or from a message, and delete your account and its data from within the app.

Children’s privacy

The Service is intended for adults and is not directed to children, nor to anyone under 18; certain features relate to venues that serve alcohol (21+ in the U.S.). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child provided us information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

Third-party links

The Service may link to third-party sites and relies on third-party services governed by their own privacy policies (including Stripe, Google, and Apple). We are not responsible for their practices.

Changes & contact

We may update this Policy; we will update the "Last updated" date and provide notice for material changes. Questions or requests? Contact us at pranplezi@plezi.net.
