WB°Club

Wuhan Bat Club helps digital nomads find people with shared interests. This page explains what we collect, why, and what you can do about it.

What we collect

Your email address, to sign you in. If you continue with Google, Google also shares your name and profile photo address with us.
What you add to your profile: your name, a short bio, an optional photo, the interests you pick, and if you choose, the city you're in and until when. When you pick a city we check you're there, once: by your phone's location if you allow it, otherwise by the rough location of your internet connection. We keep only the city and which way it was checked, never your position.
Your request to join: your answers to the questions we ask when you request to join, when you asked, whether and when a moderator let you in, and whose invite link you came through, if any.
Your connections: requests you send and receive, and whether they were accepted or declined.
Plans: plans you start (including the exact spot you enter), the seats you ask for, messages you write in plan chats, and when you checked in. If you check in by location, your phone's position is read once, when you tap Check in; we keep only how far you were from the spot and how accurate your phone said it was, never the position itself.

If you turn on notifications, we store the address your browser gives us for delivering them. Notifications show a member's first name and the plan or message they're about, a new plan in the city you're roosting in, or that someone there is free now, which may appear on your lock screen. Turn them off on the Me screen; signing out turns them off for that device.

We count page visits with Vercel Web Analytics, which uses no cookies and doesn't identify you.

To measure our ads, the home page and the sign-up pages use Meta's pixel, except for visitors in the UK, the EU and Switzerland. It tells Meta which of those pages you visited, and when you create an account or ask to join, along with your device's IP address and browser. The pixel is never used inside the members' app, and Meta doesn't see your profile or anything you do there.

Who can see it

Other members can see your name, bio, photo, interests and city, and how many plans you've hosted and been to (not which ones). Signed-out visitors and people who haven't been let in yet can't see any profiles.
While you're asking to join, only the club's moderators and admins can see your profile and your answers. They keep being able to see your answers after deciding.
Your email address is never shown to other members. The club's admins see it on your request to join, so they can get in touch about it.
A connection request is visible only to the two people involved.
Anyone who opens your invite link sees your first name and photo. If someone asks to join through it, you see their name and photo and whether they've been let in, and moderators see that you invited them. Once they're let in, you're in each other's colony.
If you say you're free now, members roosting in the same city see what for, the neighbourhood and until when, until it ends or you tap Done.
Every member can see a plan's title, details, neighbourhood, time and how many seats are taken. The exact spot and the list of who's going are only shown to the host and the people they admit. Only the host sees who asked for a seat.
A plan's chat is visible only to the host and the people they admit, including messages written before someone joined. If you leave or are removed, you lose access, but what you wrote stays until the plan is cancelled or you delete your account.

Services we use

We don't sell your data. We use these providers to run the app:

Supabase stores your account, profile and photos (hosted in Europe).
Vercel hosts the website and counts page visits.
Google, only if you choose to continue with Google.
Meta measures our ads, from the home page and sign-up pages only, and not in the UK, the EU or Switzerland.
Resend sends our emails: sign-in links, and the email telling you you've been let in (servers in Europe).
Your browser's push service (Apple, Google or Mozilla) delivers notifications, only if you turn them on.

Cookies

We use cookies that keep you signed in, and one that remembers an invite link you opened until you ask to join. Outside the UK, the EU and Switzerland, Meta's pixel also sets cookies on the home page and sign-up pages, so Meta can tell which ad you came from.

Your choices

You can edit or remove your bio, photo, city and interests at any time from your profile. You can delete your account yourself from the Me screen (or, while you're asking to join, from the request screen): everything is removed straight away, including your request to join. For a copy of your data, email info@wuhanbat.club and we'll handle it within 30 days.
