Privacy policy

Last updated: November 14, 2026

Lobby Events helps people find, create and go to events: parties, club nights, concerts, shows, stand-up, festivals, meetups, workshops and more. This policy explains what information Lobby Events (the app and events.golobby.app) collects, why, and the choices you have.

What we collect

• Account details: your email address, first and last name, username, and your password (stored only as a secure hash, never in readable form).
• If you sign in with Google: your Google account ID, email address and name, as Google shares them with your permission.
• Your profile: a profile photo, your date of birth, your gender and an Instagram or Facebook username, which every profile needs so other guests know who they are meeting, plus a few optional words about yourself. Your date of birth is also used to check the age limit an organizer sets for an event.
• What you do in Lobby Events: the events you create (including their details, such as the venue, date, price, ticket link, age limit and guest limit), the events you say you're going to or ask to join, the invites you send and receive, the people you follow and block, the messages you send, and any reports you send us about other users.
• Your approximate location, only when you choose to use it. When you sort events by "Closest", your device's location, rounded to about 1 km, is sent with that search and is not saved to your account. If you turn on "New events nearby", the area you choose (your rounded location, or a place you pick) and its distance are saved with your settings until you change them or delete your account; they are used only while that notification is on.
• Notifications we show you inside the app (for example, when someone you follow creates an event, or when someone joins your event).
• Technical information our servers record to keep the service running and secure, such as IP addresses and error details. These logs are kept only for a short time.

We do not collect your contacts, your precise location, or anything else from your device beyond what you choose to enter or upload.

How we use it

• To run your account and sign you in.
• To show events in your feed, let you RSVP or ask to join them, let organizers approve guests and message them, and let people message each other.
• To show the closest events first and tell you about new events near you, when you ask for that.
• To send you emails the service needs, such as the link to confirm your email address.
• To keep Lobby Events safe, for example by limiting repeated sign-in attempts and by checking event age limits.

We do not sell your information, show ads, or use it to track you across other apps or websites.

Google user data

If you choose "Continue with Google", Lobby Events asks Google only for basic profile access (the openid, email and profile scopes). From Google we receive your Google account ID, your email address and whether Google has verified it, and your name.

• We use this data only to create your Lobby Events account or sign you in to it, and to fill in your name and email address on it.
• We do not use Google user data for advertising, do not sell it, and do not share it with anyone, except the hosting providers named below that store it for us.
• We do not request access to your Gmail, contacts, calendar, Drive or any other Google data.
• You can disconnect Lobby Events from your Google account at any time at myaccount.google.com/permissions. Deleting your Lobby Events account deletes the Google data we stored.

Lobby Events' use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

What other people see

Other Lobby Events users can see your name, username, profile photo, gender, age (worked out from your date of birth), Instagram or Facebook username, what you wrote about yourself, the events you organize or are going to, and who you follow and who follows you. The organizer of an event can see who is going or has asked to join. If your account is private, only followers you approve see your events, bio, age and lists; anyone can still see your name and photo. Messages are visible only to the people in that conversation. Your email address, your date of birth and your location are never shown to other users; when an event has an age limit, it is checked against your date of birth, and others only ever see your age.

Where it is stored and who processes it

Your information is stored on servers run by Amazon Web Services (AWS) in Frankfurt, Germany. Emails are sent through Amazon Simple Email Service. If you use Google sign-in, Google handles that sign-in under its own privacy policy. We share information with these providers only so they can run the service for us, or when the law requires it.

How long we keep it

We keep your information while your account exists. When you delete your account, your profile, photo, the events you organized, your places in other events and your messages are deleted right away. Copies may remain in our encrypted backups for up to 30 days, after which they are deleted too.

Your choices

• You can see and change your name, username and photo on your profile at any time.
• You can delete your account and its data from Settings → Account → Delete account.
• You can contact us to ask for a copy of your information or for help with any of the above.

Children

Lobby Events is not meant for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we will update the date at the top of this page. For significant changes we will also let you know in the app.
