Privacy Policy
Short version: we collect only what we need to recommend places you'll actually like, we never sell your data, and you can wipe everything we have on you any time by emailing us. The rest of this page is the long version, written in plain English.
01 Who we are
myannai ("myannai," "we," "us") is an AI city guide and night-out planner operated from St. Petersburg, Florida, United States. This policy covers our website at myannai.app, our mobile and web apps, and any related services we offer (collectively, the "Service").
When this policy talks about "you," it means anyone who visits the site, joins the waitlist, or uses the app.
02 What we collect
Information you give us
- Waitlist signup: your email address, and the access type you selected (user, venue, both).
- Optional profile: your city and the kind of nights you're into ("solo," "date," "crew," etc.).
- Account info (once the app launches): name or username, profile photo, preferences, taste chips, saved places, plans, votes, reviews, and messages you send to Annai.
- Venue partners: business name, contact, venue details, and anything you submit through the partner flow.
- Support emails: whatever you write to us at hello@myannai.app.
Information collected automatically
- Device & usage: browser, operating system, approximate location (from IP), pages viewed, links clicked, time on page.
- Referral tracking: if you arrived via a
?ref=link, we record the referrer's code so we can credit them. - Precise location (app only, with permission): only when you grant location access, and only to recommend nearby spots. You can revoke it any time in your device settings.
03 Why we collect it
We use your information to:
- Send you waitlist updates, launch notices, and (once you're in) product updates.
- Generate personalized recommendations — the whole point of the product.
- Route plans, surface relevant venues, and improve our AI's matching quality.
- Run the referral program (track your code, credit referred signups).
- Diagnose bugs, prevent abuse, and protect the Service.
- Comply with legal obligations.
We do not use your information for automated decisions that produce legal effects on you.
04 Legal basis (GDPR)
If you're in the European Economic Area or the UK, we process your information under one or more of these bases:
- Consent — when you join the waitlist, grant location access, or opt in to marketing emails.
- Contract — to deliver the Service you signed up for.
- Legitimate interest — to keep the Service secure, prevent abuse, and improve our AI.
- Legal obligation — when required by law.
You can withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.
06 Cookies & tracking
We use a small number of cookies and similar storage technologies:
- Strictly necessary — to remember your waitlist signup, your referral code, and basic preferences. Stored in your browser's
localStorage. - Analytics — to count visits and understand which sections perform. No cross-site tracking.
You can clear cookies and local storage at any time from your browser settings. Doing so will sign you out and erase your queue position from this device.
07 How long we keep it
- Waitlist email + signup data: until you ask us to delete it, or until 24 months after the product launches in your city and you've never used the app.
- Active account data: while your account is active, plus up to 90 days after deletion for backups.
- Anonymized usage analytics: indefinitely, in aggregate, to improve the product.
- Legal & financial records: as long as required by tax / accounting / consumer protection law (typically up to 7 years).
08 Your rights
You can ask us to:
- Access a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Correct information that's inaccurate or out of date.
- Delete your data ("right to be forgotten").
- Restrict or object to processing.
- Port your data to another service in a machine-readable format.
- Withdraw consent for marketing or location at any time.
Email hello@myannai.app with your request. We respond within 30 days. If we can't honor a request (for example, because we no longer hold the data), we'll tell you why.
If you're in the EEA/UK and we don't resolve your concern, you have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.
09 California residents (CCPA / CPRA)
California residents have the rights listed above (access, deletion, correction, portability) plus the right to opt out of any "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. We do not sell or share your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
To exercise California rights, email hello@myannai.app with "California Privacy Request" in the subject. We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights.
10 Children
myannai is not intended for and not directed to anyone under 16. We don't knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has signed up, email us and we'll delete the account.
11 Security
We use TLS encryption in transit, access controls for our team, encrypted storage, and reputable cloud providers. No system is 100% secure — if we ever experience a breach affecting your data, we will notify you and any required regulators within the timelines applicable law requires (typically 72 hours for GDPR).
12 Changes to this policy
We'll update this page when our practices change. If a change is material, we'll notify you by email (if you're on the waitlist or have an account) and update the "Last updated" date at the top.
Continued use of the Service after the update means you accept the new policy.
