BELLO
Privacy Policy
Effective Date: August 13, 2026
For users aged 18 and older worldwide
Privacy Contact: service@bello.website
This Privacy Policy explains how Bello collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects Personal Data when adults discover events, post community content, join Night Rooms, and communicate through the service.
Please read the full Policy. Feature availability and data practices may vary by region, device, and the choices you make.
Policy Structure
The Policy is organized into seven parts. Each part contains four principal clauses so the document can be reviewed in clear groups of four.
Part I Scope and Ground Rules | Clauses 1-4
Part II Information Bello Collects | Clauses 5-8
Part III Sources and Uses of Information | Clauses 9-12
Part IV Legal Bases, Visibility, and Disclosure | Clauses 13-16
Part V International Processing and Data Stewardship | Clauses 17-20
Part VI Rights, Age Protection, and UGC | Clauses 21-24
Part VII Account Lifecycle, Updates, and Contact | Clauses 25-28
Bello is the controller or business responsible for Personal Data as described here, except where a third party independently determines how it processes information.
Clauses 1-4 | Who this Policy covers and the rules that apply
This Privacy Policy applies to the Bello mobile application, related websites that link to this Policy, customer support, safety operations, and associated features collectively referred to as the "Service." Bello is a nightlife community for adults that may allow users to discover events and venues, save plans, view attendance signals, publish posts, react and comment, join invite-based Night Rooms, and exchange direct or group messages.
References to "Bello," "we," "us," or "our" mean the developer or legal entity identified as the seller or publisher of Bello in the applicable app store listing. That entity determines the purposes and means of processing described in this Policy unless a notice presented at collection states otherwise.
This Policy does not govern independent venues, event organizers, ticketing providers, map services, social sign-in providers, external websites, or other third parties. Their privacy practices are governed by their own notices, even if Bello displays their information or links to them.
Bello is intended only for people who are at least 18 years old and legally able to use an adults-only nightlife community in their location. By creating or using an account, you confirm that you meet this requirement. Some events, venues, or local laws may impose a higher minimum age, such as 19 or 21, and users remain responsible for satisfying those rules.
We may request a date of birth, age range, confirmation of adult status, or other proportionate age-assurance information. Where legally required or reasonably necessary for safety, we may use a specialized service provider to assess or verify age. We seek to retain only the result or minimum evidence needed rather than a full identity document whenever feasible.
We may restrict, suspend, or close an account if we reasonably believe the user is underage or has provided inaccurate age information. Instructions for reporting suspected underage use appear in Clause 23.
The following terms help explain this Policy and should be read consistently throughout it.
"Personal Data" means information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or can reasonably be linked to an individual or household. Depending on local law, equivalent terms may include personal information or personally identifiable information.
"Processing" means any operation performed on Personal Data, including collection, organization, storage, access, analysis, moderation, disclosure, transfer, deletion, or anonymization.
"User-Generated Content" or "UGC" includes profile content, event listings, photos, videos, audio, posts, captions, comments, reactions, venue information, and other material submitted by users. "Public Areas" are areas designed to be visible to other users or visitors, such as profiles, attendance indicators, event listings, and community posts.
Where consent is required, Bello will request it in context, such as through an operating-system permission prompt for location, photos, camera, microphone, or notifications. Refusing an optional permission will not prevent access to unrelated features, although the feature that needs the permission may not work. When practical, Bello may offer an alternative, such as entering a location manually.
You may change device permissions in system settings and may withdraw other consent through in-app controls or by contacting service@bello.website. Withdrawal does not affect processing that was lawful before withdrawal and may limit features that depend on the information.
You should keep your account information accurate and avoid providing information about another person unless you have authority or a lawful basis to do so. If you upload an image, event, or message involving others, you are responsible for respecting their privacy, publicity, and intellectual property rights.
Clauses 5-8 | Account, social, content, location, device, and usage data
When you create an account, we may collect an email address, phone number, authentication credential or token, username, password hash, account identifier, date of birth or adult-status confirmation, and sign-in method. If you use Sign in with Apple or another supported sign-in provider, we receive the information that you authorize that provider to share, which may include a name, email address, provider identifier, or relay email address.
You may provide a display name, handle, profile photo, biography, interests, nightlife preferences, city, preferred event categories, languages, and other details. Some profile fields are optional. Information shown in your profile may be visible to others according to the feature design and your available settings.
We maintain account status, settings, consent records, blocked-user lists, verification state, reports, appeals, support history, and records needed to authenticate you, prevent duplicate or abusive accounts, and administer deletion requests.
We collect actions such as events viewed, searched, filtered, liked, saved, added to a night plan, created, shared, or marked as attended or planned. We may also process venue selections, event categories, dates and times, invite codes, Night Room membership, and aggregated attendance counts.
We collect follows or similar connections, reactions, comments, replies, reports, blocks, invitations, and interactions with posts, profiles, venues, and recommendations. These signals help operate community features, order content, prevent abuse, and improve relevance.
We may infer likely interests, preferred event types, approximate home market, language, or recommendation categories from your activity. We do not treat these inferences as verified facts, and we do not intend to infer highly sensitive traits such as health status, religion, or sexual orientation.
Bello may collect and store photos, videos, audio recordings, event details, captions, comments, replies, profile text, venue submissions, and other UGC. Files may contain metadata, such as capture time or location, unless you remove it or Bello strips it during upload.
We process the content and metadata of direct messages and Night Room group chats, including sender, recipients, room membership, timestamps, delivery status, attachments, voice messages, reports, and safety actions. Messages should be treated as private to their participants, but do not assume they are end-to-end encrypted unless Bello expressly labels a conversation as end-to-end encrypted.
Automated systems and authorized personnel may access content when needed to deliver messages, investigate a report, detect spam or illegal content, protect users, enforce rules, comply with law, or resolve a technical issue. Reports may include relevant excerpts and contextual information so that we can assess the complaint.
Free-form fields and media may allow you to disclose sensitive information. Bello does not require you to reveal health, biometric, financial, political, religious, sexual, or other highly sensitive details to participate in ordinary community features. Please avoid sharing information that could put you or another person at risk.
With permission, Bello may collect precise or approximate device location to show nearby events, venues, local feeds, safety information, or relevant recommendations. We may also infer coarse location from an IP address or a city you select. Bello does not collect background precise location unless a separate notice clearly explains the feature and you grant the required permission.
We may collect device model, operating system, app version, language, time zone, network type, IP address, device or installation identifiers, notification token, and security signals. Advertising identifiers are collected or used only when applicable law and platform rules permit and any required permission has been obtained.
We may collect app launches, screens viewed, taps, searches, feature use, referral information, session timing, crashes, performance metrics, error logs, and similar diagnostics. We use this information to maintain the Service, analyze adoption, fix problems, and protect account integrity.
Clauses 9-12 | How data arrives and why Bello processes it
Most information comes from you when you register, edit a profile, choose interests, create or save an event, join a Night Room, upload UGC, send a message, contact support, report content, or exercise a privacy right.
We receive device, network, usage, diagnostic, and permission-based location information when you interact with the Service. Some information is produced by security, anti-spam, content-ranking, and moderation systems.
Other users may mention you, upload content involving you, invite you, report your conduct, or provide event information. We may also receive data from sign-in providers, venue or event partners, publicly available organizer sources, app stores, fraud-prevention providers, analytics vendors, and service providers acting under our instructions. We do not compile personal profiles from unrelated public databases without permission.
Bello uses Personal Data to deliver the features you request and maintain the community infrastructure.
• Create, authenticate, secure, and administer accounts.
• Display profiles, community posts, events, venues, attendance signals, saved plans, and Night Rooms according to the feature's audience.
• Deliver direct messages, group messages, invitations, comments, reactions, notifications, and support responses.
• Process location choices to show relevant nearby or selected-area content.
• Maintain availability, diagnose errors, back up data, and prevent data loss.
If Bello later enables event reservations, tickets, subscriptions, or other transactions, we may process the information necessary to complete the request, verify status, prevent fraud, and maintain legally required records. Payment card details may be handled directly by Apple or another payment provider and may not be received by Bello. A feature-specific notice will explain any materially different processing.
We may use city, location choice, saved events, event categories, follows, reactions, searches, viewing history, and similar signals to rank feeds, recommend events or communities, suggest people or rooms, and reduce repeated or irrelevant content.
Where available, you may change interests, location, notification preferences, follows, blocks, or recommendation settings. You may also clear or limit certain activity signals. Personalization is intended to improve discovery, not to determine access to employment, credit, housing, insurance, education, or other legally significant opportunities.
We may use aggregated or de-identified trends to understand which event categories, locations, and features are useful. We do not attempt to re-identify data that has been properly de-identified, except to test whether our de-identification safeguards are effective where law permits.
We use information to detect fake accounts, spam, scams, harassment, threats, impersonation, harmful event listings, prohibited sexual content, suspected underage use, unsafe meetups, and violations of our terms or community standards. We may review reports, preserve evidence, restrict features, block devices, and coordinate with appropriate authorities when required or justified.
We analyze feature performance, audience size, retention, search quality, content relevance, crash patterns, and moderation outcomes. Results may be used to test and improve design, accessibility, reliability, safety, and new functionality.
We may send essential messages about account security, policy changes, moderation decisions, event or chat activity, and support. With any consent required by law, we may also send product news, local event highlights, or promotional messages. You can opt out of marketing communications, but not essential service notices.
Clauses 13-16 | Why processing is lawful and when information leaves Bello
Where a law such as the GDPR or UK GDPR requires a legal basis, Bello relies on one or more of the following, depending on the context.
We process account, profile, event, UGC, messaging, and technical information as necessary to provide the Service you request, authenticate you, deliver communications, and administer your account.
We may process information for interests such as securing Bello, preventing abuse, moderating content, improving features, understanding performance, protecting legal rights, and operating a sustainable community. We balance these interests against the impact on users and apply safeguards, particularly for sensitive content and private communications.
We rely on consent for optional device permissions, certain marketing, any tracking that requires platform authorization, and other processing where law requires consent. You may withdraw consent as described in Clauses 4 and 21.
We process information when necessary to comply with law, respond to valid legal process, maintain required records, protect a person's vital interests, or address a credible emergency. Where processing involves special-category data, we also rely on an applicable additional condition under local law.
Your username, display name, profile photo, biography, public posts, event listings, comments, reactions, and attendance indicators may be visible to other users or the public, depending on the feature and settings. Search engines or external services may index information made available on the open web.
Night Room content is shared with current room participants. Direct messages are shared with the selected recipient. Participants may save, copy, forward, photograph, or report content, so you should share only what you are comfortable disclosing to them. Blocking a user limits future interaction but may not remove content already delivered or independently saved.
We disclose information when you use a share sheet, invite code, external link, sign-in connection, or other feature that directs us to send data to a person or third party. Review the audience and destination before sharing.
We may provide Personal Data to vendors that host infrastructure, deliver messages or notifications, store media, support authentication, provide maps or location functions, analyze performance, prevent fraud, moderate content, provide age assurance, process support requests, or assist with legal compliance. They may process data only for authorized purposes under appropriate contractual, confidentiality, and security obligations.
If you choose to reserve, join, or interact with an event operated by a third party, we may share information necessary to fulfill the request, such as attendance status, reservation reference, or information you direct us to provide. The organizer may act as an independent controller and should provide its own privacy notice.
We require third parties processing Personal Data on our behalf to provide protection that is the same as or materially equivalent to the safeguards described in this Policy and required by applicable platform rules and law. We remain responsible for selecting and overseeing our processors as required.
Bello does not sell Personal Data for monetary consideration. Bello does not use cross-context behavioral advertising or share Personal Data for targeted advertising unless a future feature clearly discloses the practice and provides any consent or opt-out required by law and platform rules, including Apple's App Tracking Transparency framework where applicable.
We may preserve, access, or disclose information when we reasonably believe it is necessary to comply with applicable law, a court order, subpoena, or other valid process; respond to an emergency; protect the rights, safety, and property of users, Bello, or others; investigate fraud or abuse; or enforce our agreements. We review requests for validity and seek to limit disclosure to what is necessary where permitted.
Personal Data may be disclosed in connection with due diligence, financing, reorganization, merger, acquisition, asset sale, insolvency, or transfer of all or part of Bello. Recipients must use the information consistently with this Policy unless users receive notice of a materially different practice and any required choices.
We may report apparent child sexual abuse material, credible threats, trafficking, exploitation, or other serious unlawful conduct to competent authorities or designated reporting organizations, and may preserve related evidence as required or permitted by law.
Clauses 17-20 | Transfers, retention, security, and automated systems
Bello is offered to users around the world. Personal Data may be processed in countries other than the country where you live, including locations where Bello, its affiliates, or service providers maintain operations. Those countries may have different data-protection laws.
Where required, we use recognized transfer mechanisms such as adequacy decisions, standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission, the UK International Data Transfer Addendum or Agreement, contractual and technical safeguards, or another lawful basis. Users may contact us to request information about the applicable safeguard, subject to lawful redactions.
No transfer mechanism can eliminate every risk. We assess providers and transfer circumstances proportionately, use data minimization and access controls, and challenge overbroad government requests when we have a lawful basis to do so.
We retain Personal Data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including providing the Service, maintaining security, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements, and satisfying legal, tax, accounting, and regulatory obligations. Retention varies by data type, sensitivity, user expectations, legal limitation periods, and technical requirements.
• Account and profile data is generally retained while the account remains active and for a limited period after closure to complete deletion and address fraud or disputes.
• Public UGC and messages are retained while needed to provide the feature and are deleted or de-identified after account deletion, subject to legal, safety, backup, and recipient-copy exceptions.
• Security, access, and moderation logs may be kept longer when necessary to prevent repeat abuse, document enforcement, or comply with law.
• Backup copies are isolated from ordinary use and expire through scheduled overwrite cycles unless preservation is legally required.
We may retain aggregated or de-identified information that no longer reasonably identifies an individual. We maintain safeguards designed to prevent re-identification and use such information for analytics, research, safety, and service improvement.
We use administrative, technical, and organizational measures appropriate to the nature and risk of the information. Measures may include encryption in transit and at rest where appropriate, least-privilege access, authentication controls, logging, secure development practices, vendor review, backups, employee confidentiality, and incident-response procedures.
No service is completely secure. Protect your credentials, use a strong unique password, keep your device and app updated, review room invite codes before sharing, and notify us promptly if you suspect unauthorized access. Bello will never ask you to send your password through chat or email.
If a security incident affects Personal Data, we will investigate, contain, remediate, and notify affected users or authorities when required by law. Notices may be delivered in the app, by email, or through another appropriate channel.
Bello may use automated systems to rank content, recommend events, detect spam, identify potentially prohibited material, estimate risk, prioritize reports, and protect account security. These systems may analyze text, images, audio, metadata, device signals, and patterns of behavior.
Automated systems can make mistakes. Material enforcement decisions may be subject to human review where appropriate, and users may appeal certain moderation or account actions through the available in-app process or by contacting service@bello.website.
Bello does not intend to make decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal effects or similarly significant effects concerning users. If this changes, we will provide the notice, explanation, safeguards, and rights required by applicable law.
Clauses 21-24 | Privacy choices, regional notices, CSAE protection, and content rules
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to know or access Personal Data; obtain a portable copy; correct inaccurate data; delete data; restrict or object to processing; withdraw consent; opt out of certain sale, sharing, targeted advertising, or profiling; and appeal a refusal to act on a request. You may also have the right to complain to a data-protection authority.
Use available profile, privacy, permission, block, notification, and account-deletion controls, or email service@bello.website with the subject "Privacy Request." Describe your request and the account information needed to locate your record. We may ask you to verify identity and authority using information already associated with the account.
Where law permits an authorized agent, we may request proof of authorization and direct confirmation from the user. We will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising a privacy right, although deleting or restricting necessary data may make certain features unavailable.
We respond within the period required by applicable law. We may deny or limit a request when an exemption applies, such as protecting another person's rights, preserving evidence of abuse, securing the Service, or meeting a legal obligation. When required, we will explain the reason and available appeal method.
Users in these regions may exercise the rights described in Clause 21 and may object to processing based on legitimate interests, including certain direct marketing. The controller is the Bello publisher identified in the applicable app store listing. You may lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority, but we encourage you to contact us first so we can address the concern.
Applicable state laws may grant rights to know, access, correct, delete, obtain portability, opt out of sale or sharing, opt out of targeted advertising or certain profiling, limit use or disclosure of sensitive personal information, and appeal. The categories Bello may collect are identifiers, customer records, protected age information, commercial or event activity, internet or electronic activity, approximate or precise geolocation, audio-visual content, account credentials, UGC, and inferences. Bello uses and discloses these categories for the business purposes described in Clauses 10-16. Bello does not sell Personal Data for monetary consideration and does not knowingly sell or share Personal Data of people under 18.
Residents of Brazil, Canada, Australia, Japan, South Korea, and other jurisdictions may have additional rights under local law. We will interpret and apply this Policy consistently with mandatory local requirements. If a local requirement conflicts with this Policy, the local requirement controls to the extent of the conflict.
Because mobile and web standards continue to evolve, Bello may not respond to legacy browser Do Not Track signals. Where legally required and technically supported, we will honor recognized opt-out preference signals for the browser or device from which the signal is sent.
Bello is not directed to, designed for, or knowingly offered to anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect Personal Data from a child through the Service. If we learn that an underage person has created an account, we may promptly suspend access, investigate, and delete the account and associated data, subject to safety and legal preservation obligations.
A parent, guardian, or any concerned person may report suspected underage use to service@bello.website with the subject "Underage User Report." Do not send unnecessary identity documents or intimate content. We may request limited information needed to verify the report and locate the account.
Bello has zero tolerance for Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation, including child sexual abuse material, grooming, sexual solicitation of minors, sextortion, trafficking, coercion, or content that sexualizes or endangers a child. Such content and conduct are strictly prohibited, even though Bello is an adults-only service.
We may use automated detection, user reports, hash matching where lawful and available, and trained human review to identify apparent CSAE. We may immediately remove or restrict content, preserve evidence, suspend accounts and devices, and report apparent child sexual abuse material or exploitation to competent authorities or designated reporting organizations, including the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children where applicable. We may cooperate with lawful investigations.
Use Bello's reporting tools or email us to report suspected CSAE. Do not download, copy, or redistribute illegal material for the purpose of reporting it. If a child is in immediate danger, contact local emergency services or the appropriate child-protection authority.
You retain ownership of UGC to the extent you hold rights in it. By submitting UGC, you grant Bello a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, adapt for technical formatting, distribute, display, and otherwise process the content solely as reasonably necessary to operate, secure, promote within the Service, and improve the features you use, subject to our terms and your privacy settings.
Bello may use filters, automated tools, reports, and human review to identify content that is illegal, unsafe, infringing, deceptive, sexually exploitative, hateful, threatening, harassing, or otherwise prohibited. We may reduce distribution, add warnings, remove content, limit features, suspend accounts, or preserve evidence. Users can report content and block abusive users through available controls.
Deleting UGC removes it from active display within a reasonable period, but copies may remain in backups, legal preservation, safety records, reports, or content independently saved or reshared by others. We may retain a limited record of removed material or its hash to prevent repeat uploads and document enforcement.
To report alleged infringement, email service@bello.website with identification of the protected work, the specific Bello content or location, your contact information, a good-faith statement, a statement of accuracy and authority, and your physical or electronic signature. We may forward a complaint to the affected user and process a valid counter-notice where applicable law provides one.
Clauses 25-28 | Deletion, permissions, policy changes, and support
If Bello supports account creation, users may initiate deletion of the entire account from the in-app account or privacy settings. We may require reauthentication or a proportionate confirmation step to prevent accidental or unauthorized deletion. Deactivation, if offered, is optional and is not a substitute for permanent deletion.
After a valid deletion request, we close the account and delete or de-identify associated Personal Data, including profile data and UGC, unless retention is permitted or required for legal compliance, safety, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, or another documented exception. Content already received or independently saved by other users may remain outside Bello's control.
Deletion may require a reasonable processing period. We will communicate material steps or delays and, where appropriate, confirm completion. Backup copies expire through scheduled cycles and are not returned to active use except for disaster recovery or legal necessity.
If you used Sign in with Apple, Bello will revoke associated tokens as required. Account deletion does not automatically cancel a subscription billed by Apple or another provider; users must manage cancellation through the relevant store or provider.
Camera, photo library, microphone, location, and notification access are optional unless needed for the feature you choose. You can review or revoke permissions in device settings. Bello should request access only when relevant and should use system pickers or limited-access options when practical.
You may control push notifications through in-app preferences, if available, and device settings. You may unsubscribe from marketing email using the link in the message. Security, account, moderation, and transaction notices may still be sent when necessary.
Bello websites and embedded web views may use cookies, local storage, pixels, or similar technologies for authentication, preferences, security, analytics, and consent management. Where required, a consent tool will provide choices for non-essential technologies.
Links to maps, venues, ticketing, social platforms, or external websites take you to services not controlled by Bello. Review their privacy notices before providing information. Bello is not responsible for an independent third party's data practices.
We may update this Policy to reflect new features, vendors, laws, safety practices, or operational changes. The revised Policy will display a new effective date and will be made available in the app or on the relevant website.
If a change materially affects how we collect, use, or share Personal Data, we will provide additional notice appropriate to the circumstances, such as an in-app message, email, or prominent website notice. We will request consent before applying a materially new use when consent is required by law.
Where practical or legally required, prior versions or a summary of material changes may be retained. Continued use after the effective date means the updated Policy applies to subsequent processing, but it does not override rights or consent requirements under applicable law.
For questions, complaints, appeals, data-rights requests, or concerns about this Policy, contact Bello at service@bello.website. Include enough information to understand the issue, but do not send passwords, full identity documents, payment card details, or illegal content.
Use the in-app reporting and blocking tools for content or user-safety issues whenever available. For suspected underage use or CSAE, follow Clause 23. For an immediate threat to life or safety, contact local emergency services first.
You may have the right to complain to a privacy, consumer-protection, or data-protection authority in the place where you live or work. Contacting us first is not required, but it may allow us to resolve the issue more quickly.
END OF PRIVACY POLICY
