Privacy Policy

1. Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how PubSearch (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, and protects information about you when you use our website and related services (collectively, the “Service”).

By using PubSearch, you agree to the practices described in this Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

2.1 Information you provide to us

  • Account details such as name, email address, and password.
  • Profile information, including owner / business information if you claim a venue.
  • Content you submit, such as comments, ratings, or photos.

2.2 Information collected automatically

  • Log data such as IP address, browser type, and access times.
  • Device information, such as operating system and screen size.
  • Approximate location in some cases (see “Location data” below).

3. How we use your data

4. Cookies & tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember your preferences, and understand how people use PubSearch. You can control cookies through your browser settings, but disabling them may affect how the site works.

5. Location data

When you choose “Use my location”, your browser may share an approximate location so we can show nearby venues. We use this once for that purpose and do not store precise location coordinates tied to your identity by default.

You can turn off location sharing at any time using your browser or device settings.

6. When we share data

We do not sell your personal data. We may share information with:

  • Service providers who help us run PubSearch (hosting, analytics, email).
  • Law enforcement or regulators where required by law.
  • Other parties in connection with a merger, acquisition, or similar corporate event, where permitted by law.

7. Your rights & choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete your personal information, or object to certain processing. We will honour these rights in line with applicable law.

You can also:

  • Update your account details from your profile.
  • Request account deletion by contacting us.
