Privacy notice · 2026-09-22

Your data, without the fog

The Lonely Pint is the controller of personal information collected through this service. This notice explains what we use and why.

What we collect

Your email address, account and consent records, nickname, posts, photographs, comments, votes, reports, blocks, feedback, sign-in security records and limited technical information used to prevent abuse.

Why we use it

We use account information to provide and secure the community, attribute contributions, moderate content, answer privacy requests and meet legal obligations. We use optional marketing consent only to send Lonely Pint news and updates.

Our lawful bases

Providing your account and community features is necessary to perform our agreement with you. Safety, moderation and service security rely on our legitimate interests. Optional promotional email relies on your consent, which you may withdraw at any time.

Who processes it

Our hosting, database, photograph-storage and transactional-email providers process information on our behalf. We do not sell member information.

Retention

We keep an active account and its contributions while you use the service. Expired verification codes and sessions are removed routinely. Privacy and consent records are retained only as long as reasonably required to demonstrate compliance or resolve a request.

Your choices and rights

You may ask for access, correction, deletion, restriction or portability, object to certain uses, or withdraw marketing consent. You may also complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office. Account deletion is available from your signed-in account controls.

Photos and public content

Your nickname, city, photograph and contribution are public. Do not post room numbers, exact addresses, confidential work information or images of people without permission. We remove photo metadata during upload, but you remain responsible for what is visible in the image.
