Who’s Playing Tonight

Privacy Policy

Effective August 23, 2026

Overview

Who’s Playing Tonight (“WPT”) helps people discover live jazz events and follow performers. You can browse event listings without providing login credentials. Following uses an automatically generated guest account that does not require your name, email address, or password. The optional paid Promo feature and administrative tools require the additional information described below.

Information we collect

App, browser, and device information: app or site version, operating system, device and browser characteristics, crash diagnostics, and pseudonymous identifiers used for analytics, purchase restoration, notifications, attribution, fraud prevention, and diagnostics.
Product interactions: use of listings, searches, venues, Following, purchases, notifications, promotions, announcements, and messages.
Region and location: after you choose “Use my location,” approximate location may be used on your device or in your browser to suggest a supported region. We do not store precise coordinates on our servers. Your selected region, permission outcome, and a time zone used for notification quiet hours may be processed in analytics or sent to our servers.
Notification information: if you enable alerts, we store the device token, platform, selected region, time zone, and preferences needed to deliver them.
Promo and admin data: if you use these features, we store the data needed to review, publish, pay for, and manage your submission.

Following and guest accounts

When you use Following, WPT creates a pseudonymous guest account through Firebase. We use it to store your followed performers, custom performer names, follow dates and status, subscription status, selected region, and notification preferences. A copy of your follow list may also be cached on your device so the feature loads reliably.

You can turn alerts off for individual performers, turn all Following alerts off, or deny notification permission while keeping performers followed. If enabled, Following alerts use your region and time zone to notify you about newly discovered nearby shows. We may maintain notification-processing and delivery records associated with your guest account to deliver alerts, avoid duplicates, and troubleshoot the service.

Custom performer names remain associated with your account and are not added to the public performer catalog solely because you followed them.

Promo feature

Promo data may include an authenticated Firebase user ID, artist and venue names, region, event date and time, ticket URL, contact email, submitted notes, image or logo, moderation results, status history, purchase verification, terms acceptance, performance statistics, and an optional notification token. We use this information to review and publish promotions, prevent fraud, provide support, report performance, and send status updates. Automated systems and human reviewers may review submissions.

Payments

Apple and Google process in-app purchases, Stripe processes website payments, and RevenueCat helps WPT verify subscriptions and restore eligible purchases. We do not receive or store complete payment-card details. We may retain product, transaction, checkout-session, customer, entitlement, refund, and verification identifiers needed to fulfill purchases, provide support, prevent fraud, and resolve disputes.

Advertising, analytics, and service providers

Depending on the platform and feature, service providers may process device information, IP address, advertising identifiers where permitted, app-instance identifiers, and usage data. Firebase Analytics helps us understand use of discovery, Following, subscriptions, notifications, announcements, and Promos. Following analytics may include counts and interactions such as views, follows, paywall actions, purchases, notification prompts, and notification opens.

Providers include Google AdMob, Google Analytics and Firebase, Firebase Crashlytics, Firebase Cloud Messaging, Meta for install attribution, Google Cloud, Google Gemini for Promo moderation, Mailgun for email, RevenueCat for purchase verification, Stripe for website payments, and Apple or Google for in-app payments.

How we use and share information

We use information to operate and improve schedules, Following, notifications, subscriptions, and promotions; personalize Following results; measure performance; diagnose errors; communicate with users; maintain safety; and comply with law. We share information with service providers only as needed for those purposes, or when required by law. We do not sell personal information or precise location information. Advertising and analytics practices may be treated as sharing or targeted advertising under some state laws; available platform and browser controls can limit those practices.

Retention and security

Account and Following data is generally retained while your account remains active and is deleted when you use Delete Account & Data, subject to the exceptions described here. Operational information is kept only as reasonably necessary to provide, secure, and troubleshoot WPT. Some published Promo content, transaction information, pseudonymous or aggregated analytics, hashed deletion-audit records, and records required for legal, accounting, fraud-prevention, or dispute purposes may be retained longer. Service providers follow their own retention policies.

No internet service is completely secure, but we use technical and organizational safeguards appropriate to the information we handle, including encrypted network transport and access controls.

Your choices, rights, and account deletion

Location: you can deny location permission and choose a region manually.
Notifications: you can deny notification permission, disable alerts for individual performers, disable all Following alerts, or change notification settings on your device.
Advertising: you can limit advertising tracking in device settings and use supported browser privacy controls.
Account deletion: in the mobile app, open Settings and choose Delete Account & Data to permanently delete your guest account and associated Following data, subject to the retention exceptions above.
Deletion without app access: if you cannot use the in-app deletion control, email whosplayingtonightnyc@gmail.com with the subject “Account Deletion” to request account and associated-data deletion. Because guest accounts do not contain your name or email address, we may need additional information to verify and locate the account.
Subscriptions: deleting your WPT account or uninstalling the app does not cancel an Apple or Google subscription. Cancel through your store subscription settings if you do not want billing to continue.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of personal information, or to object to or restrict processing. Contact us to make a request; we may need to verify it.

Children, international users, and changes

The service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. Information may be processed in the United States and other locations where our providers operate. We may update this policy and will revise the effective date when material changes are made.
