Privacy Policy

After8 (“After8,” “we,” “us”) is operated by [After8 Inc./LLC]. This policy explains what information we collect from travelers who use After8 at after8.app to find and bid on same-night hotel rates, and how we use and share it.

• Location you search. The latitude/longitude or area you search so we can show nearby hotels. We use it to run your search; we don’t track your location in the background.
• Booking details. The name, phone number, and email you provide when you make an offer or confirm a booking, plus a phone verification code we send to confirm it’s you.
• Negotiation messages. The chat messages you exchange with a hotel’s front desk.
• Booking outcomes. The offers you make, rates you confirm, and the status of each stay (for example, arrived or no-show).
• Account information. If you create an account, the email you sign in with (and, for social login, the basic profile your provider shares).
• Technical and usage data. Standard server logs (such as IP address and browser type) and cookies that keep your session and, if you log in, your account signed in.

We do not collect or store payment card numbers. You pay the hotel directly at check-in, so no card data passes through After8.

• Show you nearby hotels and route your offers and chats to them.
• Verify your phone number and confirm your bookings.
• Track reliability (such as no-shows) to keep the network fair.
• Provide support, prevent abuse, and keep the service secure.
• Understand how the product is used so we can improve it, and send you messages about your bookings.

We don’t sell your information. We share it only with the hotels you choose to make offers to, and with the service providers that help us run After8:

• Hotels. The hotel you’re negotiating with sees the name, offers, and chat messages you send, and the phone/email needed to hold your booking.
• Supabase — hosts our database and handles authentication.
• Vercel — hosts and serves the application.
• Google — provides maps and places data for search.
• Twilio — sends the SMS code used for phone verification.
• Resend — sends account and booking emails.
• OpenAI — generates suggested negotiation replies for hotel staff from the chat messages in a negotiation. OpenAI does not use API data to train its models.

We may also disclose information if required by law, or as part of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

We use a session cookie to keep your negotiations tied to your device, and — if you log in — an authentication cookie to keep you signed in. We don’t use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.

We keep your booking, negotiation, and account data for as long as needed to provide the service and to meet legal obligations. If you close your account, we delete or de-identify your data within a reasonable period.

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information by emailing us at hello@after8.app. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under local law. We’ll respond to reasonable requests.

We use industry-standard safeguards to protect your information, including encrypted connections and access controls. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we can’t guarantee absolute security.

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we’ll revise the effective date above, and we’ll let you know if the changes are significant.
