AfterHours keeps only what it needs to run a night safely, deletes addresses when the night ends, and never sells or shares your data for advertising. There is no analytics, no advertising, no behavioural tracking and no third-party software development kit in the app.
You sign in with Apple. Apple gives AfterHours an identifier that is unique to this app and, the first time, the first name you choose to share. We never ask for your email address. Your first name and how your past nights went are shown to hosts when you ask to join, and to guests when you host.
The server keeps your account, a hashed copy of each sign-in session, the afters you host, your requests to join afters, the people you have blocked, the ratings you give and any reports you send or that are made about you. For an after you host, that means its name, area, address, door notes and exact location, and for a request, how many people are coming, the host's answer and when you checked in.
Addresses, door notes and exact locations are deleted from the server at midday. Afters and requests are deleted three days later, once the window for rating has closed and nobody can still be waiting on an answer. Ratings stay with the host's record until either account is deleted. Reports stay so they can be dealt with, and a report you sent loses your name if you delete your account.
When you look for afters, the app sends a position rounded to about a kilometre so the server knows which city you're in. Distances are worked out on your phone. When you host, the app sends your after's exact location, which is kept until midday and given only to guests you say yes to. Everyone else sees an area of a few streets.
Your trusted friend's name and number never leave your phone. Neither do your safety texts, which go from your own Messages app only when you tap send. The phone also keeps your profile, your settings and, until midday, any address a host shares with you, in a file that is protected while your phone is locked and left out of iCloud and computer backups. It's yours alone. When you choose a trusted friend from Contacts, the app receives only the one number you tap.
AfterHours runs on Cloudflare, Inc., which hosts the service and stores the database in its Eastern Europe region. Cloudflare keeps request logs for a few days so problems can be fixed. They record the web address of each request, which includes the rounded position above, and not what you post. Apple handles Sign in with Apple under its own privacy policy.
AfterHours is for people aged 18 and over. Setup asks you to confirm your age, and an account reported as belonging to someone under 18 is suspended.
Settings in AfterHours has a "Delete account and data" control. It deletes your account and everything the server holds for it, including the afters you host and your requests, then removes your profile, trusted friend, saved addresses and settings from this phone. Deleting the app removes what is on the phone but not your account, so use the control first.
The controller of the personal data described here is Joao Vitor Humenhuk Achutti, a sole trader, 38 Allenby Street, Tel Aviv-Jaffa 6332512, Israel. You can ask what is held, ask for it to be corrected or deleted, or complain, by writing to afterhours@humenhuk.com. You can also complain to the Israeli Privacy Protection Authority or to the data protection authority where you live.
