ThaiNightlife ("we", "us", "our") is committed to protecting your personal data. This policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, and how it is used.

Data We Collect

• Account information: name and email address (provided at registration)
• User-generated content: reviews, ratings, photos, and check-in records
• Location data: only when you actively use the Check-In feature (not stored persistently)
• Usage data: pages viewed, features used (via anonymised analytics)

How We Use Your Data

• To provide and improve the ThaiNightlife service
• To display your reviews and contributions to the community
• To send notifications about venues and users you follow (with your consent)
• To detect and prevent abuse or fraudulent activity

Data Retention & Deletion

Your account and associated data are retained for as long as your account is active. You can delete your account at any time, yourself, without contacting us: open Settings and use the Delete Account button in the Danger Zone.

Deleting your account is immediate and permanent. It removes your profile and the personal data linked to it — including your check-ins, reviews, staff reviews, follows, blocked users, notification preferences, and notifications — and signs you out. This cannot be undone.

Your contributions are removed from the platform along with your account. Limited residual copies may remain in encrypted backups for up to 30 days before being overwritten, and we may retain certain records for longer where required by law.

Third Parties

We do not sell your personal data. We use third-party infrastructure providers (cloud hosting, authentication) who process data on our behalf under appropriate data processing agreements. We may share anonymised, aggregated data for analytics purposes.

Your Rights

You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data, and to withdraw consent for processing at any time. You can delete your own account and data through Settings → Delete Account. For any other request, contact us via the Contact page.
