Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 13, 2026

Vynce LLC ("Vynce," "we," "us," or "our") operates Vynce: Campus Nightlife, an app for iPhone, Android, and the web that helps verified college students discover, RSVP to, and share nightlife and campus events. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. The same policy applies on every platform.

By creating an account or using Vynce, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy and to our Terms of Service.

How to Delete Your Vynce Account

You can delete your account and the data tied to it at any time:

  1. In the app: open Settings from your Profile tab, scroll to the Danger Zone at the bottom, and tap Delete My Account, then confirm. This permanently deletes your account and cannot be undone.
  2. Without the app: submit a request at vynce-thecollegenightout.base44.app/delete-account, or email vynceheadquarters@gmail.com from the address on your account with the subject "Delete my account," and we will delete it for you.

What gets deleted: your account and profile (name, .edu email, school affiliation, profile photo, phone number, and date of birth) and the content tied to it, such as RSVPs, crowd reports, comments, stories, and messages.

What may be kept: we delete or anonymize your personal information within a reasonable period after your account is deleted, except for records we are required to keep for legal or safety reasons, such as transaction records for purchases. See Section 8 (Data Retention).

1. Information We Collect

Information you provide to us

  • Account information: your name, .edu email address, school or campus affiliation, and profile photo.
  • Profile information: bio and preferences you choose to add.
  • Date of birth: used to confirm you are 18 or older and whether you are 21 or older (see Section 5).
  • Phone number, if you choose to enable SMS notifications.
  • Content you post: events, RSVPs, check-ins, crowd reports, comments, event stories, photos, videos, messages, and reactions.
  • Social data: friends and the people and organizations you follow.
  • Payment information: Vynce Pass subscriptions and promotions bought in the app are processed by Apple (App Store) on iPhone and Google (Google Play) on Android, and managed through our subscription provider, RevenueCat. Event tickets are processed by Stripe. We never store your full card number.
  • Customer support communications, if you contact us for help.

Information collected automatically

  • Location, while the app is in use, to show nearby events on the Live Map. Precise location is only used on your device and, briefly, to verify you are at a venue when you post a crowd report or story; it is never stored.
  • Device identifiers, such as a push notification token, to deliver notifications.
  • Usage data, such as which events you view, RSVP to, or report crowd data for, used to improve the app and personalize your feed.
  • Crash and performance data, used only to find and fix technical issues.

2. Device Permissions and How We Use Them

Vynce only uses each permission for the purpose described here, and only after you allow it.

  • Camera: to take photos and videos for event stories, profile pictures, and event cover images. Vynce never uses your camera without your action.
  • Photo library: to upload existing photos and videos when you choose to.
  • Location: to show events near your campus, display the Live Map, and enable proximity-based event visibility. Location is only accessed while the app is in use, and your precise location is never shared with other users and never stored: it is used on your device, and briefly to verify you are at a venue when you post a crowd report or event story (only a yes/no at-venue result is saved with that post). The only location we store is the name and center point of the town you pick as your notification area (see Push Notifications below), and it is cleared when you switch back or turn location off.
  • Notifications: to send push notifications about events you RSVP'd to, organizations you follow, and your account. On first launch, your device presents the standard system notification permission dialog automatically. You can turn push off at any time in your device settings. If you decline, the app never re-triggers the system prompt — in-app buttons take you straight to your device settings instead.

3. How We Use Your Information

  • App functionality: verifying your .edu email, showing your profile, displaying nearby events, processing purchases, and sending notifications.
  • Social features: connecting you with friends and organizations on your campus.
  • Personalization: recommending events and organizations based on your school and activity.
  • Analytics: understanding which events and features are popular, improving crowd-meter accuracy, and building anonymous, aggregated campus leaderboards and trend rankings.
  • Customer support: responding to your questions or issues.
  • Safety and verification: confirming .edu status and age to keep Vynce a verified, adults-only campus community.

We do not sell your personal information. We do not use your data for third-party advertising, and we do not track you across other companies' apps or websites.

4. How We Share Information

  • Other users: your name, profile photo, school, and RSVP or attendance status may be visible to other verified users, organizations, or event hosts, depending on the event's visibility settings.
  • Organizations and event hosts: when you RSVP, buy a ticket, or follow an organization, that organization can see your name and email. Hosts may also see aggregate attendance.
  • Aggregated data: we may share aggregated, non-identifiable data with partner organizations for analytics (for example, "68% of RSVPs are 21+").
  • Service providers: we share limited data with vendors who help us run Vynce, such as cloud hosting, push notification delivery (OneSignal), payment processing (Apple, Google Play, RevenueCat, and Stripe), and customer relationship tools. They may only use your data to provide services to us. With OneSignal we also share your notification preference settings and whether you are 21 or older, as labeled tags on your notification user record, so it can deliver the notifications you have opted into.
  • Legal reasons: we may disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights, safety, or property of Vynce, our users, or the public.

5. Age Data

We collect date of birth to confirm you are 18 or older, and to decide whether you can see alcohol-related promotions or receive alcohol-related notifications (21+ only), in line with industry self-regulatory guidelines on alcohol marketing. Date of birth is never shared with venues or third parties except in aggregate, non-identifying form.

6. Push Notifications and Your Preferences

When you first install the app, your device presents the standard system notification permission dialog automatically. If you decline, the app never re-triggers that system prompt — our in-app explainer may be offered again on later launches (at most three times per device), and any "enable notifications" button or banner in the app takes you straight to your device settings, where you can turn notifications on or off. The system location prompt only appears after you tap a button in the app. Your live location is used on your device while the app is open. When you travel, the app may offer to switch your notification area to the town you are visiting: the town is identified entirely on your device against a built-in list of US places (your coordinates are never sent to a third-party mapping service), and if you accept, we store only that town's name and center point so we can send you nearby event notifications. That stored town is replaced the next time you switch, and it is cleared when you switch back or turn location off. You can manage notifications in Settings → Notifications, where each category can be turned on or off: event reminders, new events from organizations you follow, alcohol promotions and 21+ specials (only ever sent to users who are 21+), app updates and announcements, and marketing and offers. A master switch turns off all push except critical account-security alerts. Your preference choices (and your 21+ status) are shared with our push provider, OneSignal, as labeled tags on your notification user record, and are used only to deliver the notifications you have opted into. Every send is also checked against your preferences on our own servers before it goes out.

Transactional notices tied to your own activity, such as RSVP confirmations, purchase receipts, and cancellation or time-change notices for events you RSVP'd to, are not marketing and may still be sent while push permission is on.

7. Your Choices

  • Edit or delete your profile information at any time in the app.
  • Turn off location or notification permissions in your device settings.
  • Permanently delete your account in Settings → Danger Zone → Delete My Account.
  • Contact us at any time to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, or a copy of your data.
  • Manage or cancel a Vynce Pass subscription in your Apple App Store or Google Play account settings.

8. Data Retention

We keep your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the app. Event stories expire automatically. If you delete your account, we delete or anonymize your personal information within a reasonable period, except where we must keep it for legal or safety reasons.

9. Age Requirement and Children's Privacy

Vynce is only for users 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has registered, contact us and we will remove the account. Our child safety standards are published in our Community Guidelines.

10. Your Regional Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights under laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) or the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), including the right to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your personal information, and the right to opt out of certain data sharing. To use these rights, contact us using the details below.

11. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will tell you by email or in the app before they take effect. Continuing to use Vynce after changes take effect means you accept the updated policy.
