Privacy

A small site, with a small data footprint.

Last updated 9 November 2026. Venue Uncovered is operated by Pantherex Ltd. Privacy enquiries and requests to access or delete account data can be sent to [email protected].

What we store

Your public username, a securely hashed password, your contributions, uploaded photos, votes, confirmations and reports. We do not ask for an email address at registration or publish your password. Optional height and visit details appear with your tip. Choose a username you’re comfortable sharing publicly.

Cookies and infrastructure

We use an essential session cookie to keep you signed in and protect forms. It lasts up to 14 days, and is cleared when you sign out. We do not use advertising or analytics cookies. The site runs on our web server; Cloudflare provides DNS, TLS and traffic protection. These infrastructure services may process IP addresses and security logs to deliver and protect the service.

Photos and contributions

Photos are resized and re-encoded to remove embedded metadata before storage. Approved contributions and photos are public. Pending content is visible only to its author and moderators. Please avoid uploading other people’s personal information.

Purpose and retention

We process account and contribution data to provide the service, and security data to prevent abuse. Account content is retained while the account is in use or until removal is requested. Withdrawn posts are hidden immediately and retained for moderation review. Traffic rate-limit identifiers expire within an hour. Server access logs use the server’s log rotation policy. Backups are kept for seven days and may temporarily retain removed records.

Your choices

Browsing does not require an account. You can withdraw your posts in your account and request account or photo deletion by email. We do not sell your data. Email password reset is not available at launch; keep your password safe. You can also raise a data protection concern with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office.
