2. How We Use Information

• Provide, operate, maintain, and improve the Services

3. Location-Based Features

NightOwl may use location information to provide features such as:

You control whether NightOwl can access precise location through your device or browser settings. You may also manually select a city or location where supported.

If you disable location access, NightOwl may still use your selected city, IP-derived approximate location, or other non-precise location signals to provide general city-level functionality.

NightOwl does not sell precise location information. NightOwl does not use precise location information for third-party advertising networks unless we provide additional notice and obtain any consent required by applicable law.

4. Check-Ins, Heat Maps, and City Signals

NightOwl check-ins are designed to help users understand where people are actually going, what venues are gaining momentum, and what is happening in a city in real time or near real time.

When you check in, NightOwl may use your check-in information to:

• Show your activity to other users or friends, depending on available privacy settings
• Improve venue recommendations
• Power crowd, vibe, momentum, and heat map features
• Detect venue trends and city activity
• Help prevent fake, abusive, or manipulated activity
• Improve NightOwl’s understanding of venue quality and relevance

NightOwl may aggregate or de-identify check-in activity to show broader city trends. For example, NightOwl may display that a venue or area is gaining activity without showing every individual user who contributed to that signal.

Users must not submit fake check-ins, automated check-ins, venue-manipulated check-ins, misleading activity, or content intended to distort NightOwl’s recommendations or city signals.
