Last updated: 19 October 2026
1. Controller and contact
Lunafox, the provider of Barhops and based in England and Wales, is the controller of your personal data. For privacy requests or questions, email data@lunafox.org.
2. Data we collect
We collect account information; public profile information; friends; crawls, events, attendance, invitations, ratings, reviews, favourites, visits and check-ins; photos, captions and other user content; device and app information; push-notification tokens; purchase information needed to provide entitlements; and support or report information. We collect precise location only when you permit it, to find nearby bars, support route planning and navigation, and verify check-ins. We may process venue names, location context, route preferences and vibes when you use AI features.
3. How we use data and our legal bases
We process account, crawl, group, content, purchase and support data to perform our contract with you. Location, camera, photo library and notification access use consent where required. Safety, moderation, fraud prevention, security, service improvement and analytics support our legitimate interests. We process data where necessary for legal obligations and use marketing only where permitted by law.
4. Who can see your information
Username, bio and avatar are public. Reviews and ratings are public. Individual visits are visible to friends, while aggregate visit data may be public. Crawls and their photos are visible to friends and people who attended that crawl.
5. Service providers and international transfers
We use providers including Supabase, Cloudflare R2, Expo, Apple, Google, mapping and venue-data providers, and Google Gemini. Where providers process data outside the UK, we use applicable transfer mechanisms and contractual safeguards. We do not sell personal data.
6. Retention and deletion
We keep data only as long as needed, generally while your account is active and for a reasonable period afterwards for deletion, disputes, fraud, security and legal obligations. Deleting an account removes personal data from active systems, subject to backups, lawful retention and anonymised statistics.
