What The Twelve keeps about you

You sign in with Google, and we keep your Google name, email address and the address of your profile photo. We keep the twelves you save. We use a single cookie to remember that you are signed in; there are no analytics, advertising or tracking cookies.

Your account is stored with Neon (a Postgres database) in Frankfurt. It is not sold or shared with anyone. Google learns that you signed in to The Twelve, as it does with any app.

Opening a twelve someone sent you needs no account. A twelve is just a link: the pubs are in the address itself, and nothing about you is stored. Building one, or asking to join someone’s night, needs you to sign in.

When you ask to join a twelve, we keep that you asked and whether the host said yes, so the host can see who is coming and you are put in the group when the night starts. The host sees your first name. Take back your request and it is gone.

If you turn alerts on, we keep the address your phone’s browser gives us for sending them (from Apple, Google or Mozilla). It is used for this twelve and its night only: someone asking to join, the host saying yes, the night starting, the group moving on. The live server keeps a copy for the night while it runs. Turn alerts off in your phone’s settings and they stop.

The name you join with, and your location only if you turn sharing on, are held by the live server while the night runs. Your location is shared with that group only, and only while The Twelve is open on your phone. Everything the live server holds about a night is deleted 18 hours after anything last happened in it.

If you host or join with an account, we also keep a note that you were in that night, so it shows on your account page afterwards. Your phone keeps a short summary of the night too (how many pubs you got to), so it can show you how far you got. The note stays until you delete your account.

Choose Delete my account on your account page and your account, your sign-in, every saved twelve, your requests to join, your alerts and your group night notes are removed straight away.

Pub data and the map come from OpenStreetMap contributors and OpenFreeMap. Your phone asks them for map tiles when you open a map, as it would for any web map.
