What We Collect
We collect the minimum data needed to make the app work:
- Location — used only to show nearby bars and verify you're physically at a bar when checking in. We do not store or sell your location history.
- Anonymous user ID — a randomly generated ID (via Firebase Anonymous Auth) so your check-ins and posts are linked to your session. No name, email, or phone number required.
- Check-ins and vibes — the bar you checked into, the vibe tags you selected, and any activity posts you submit. These are public within the app.
- Device info — basic device and OS data collected automatically by Firebase for crash reporting and analytics.
How We Use Your Data
- To show live bar activity and vibes to other users
- To enforce check-in rules (distance verification, cooldown timers)
- To improve app performance and fix bugs
- To display tonight's bar deals
We do not use your data for advertising. We do not sell your data to third parties. Ever.
Data Retention
- Check-ins expire automatically after 2 hours
- Vibe reports expire after 2 hours
- Activity posts expire after 24 hours
- Anonymous user IDs are not permanently stored on our end

Age Requirement
BuzzedUp is intended for users who are 21 years of age or older. By using this app, you confirm that you meet the legal drinking age requirement in your jurisdiction. We do not knowingly collect data from users under 21.
Your Rights

If you have concerns about data associated with your device, contact us and we will address it promptly.

We may update this Privacy Policy as the app evolves. We will update the effective date at the top of this page. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
