inside.live is operated by Shoroye Studios Limited, trading as inside.live (CRO 778011, Dublin, Ireland). This notice explains what we collect, why, and your rights, including under UK and EU data-protection law (GDPR). Contact us any time at info@inside.live. For help with your page or a night, start at inside.live/help.
It matters which one you are, because we're responsible for different things in each case.
To support you and keep inside.live running, a small number of named people at inside.live can open your studio and see and change your account the way you can: your pages, events, photos, profile and settings, and what your studio shows you about your guests and crowd, including their names and email addresses. We do this to fix problems, including ones you haven't reported yet, to help when you ask, and to keep the service working and secure. We don't ask you first or tell you each time.
They use their own sign-in, never yours. They can't see your sign-in codes, or anything that is only on your device, like edits that haven't saved yet. They don't delete your account, change your link, your email or how you sign in, sign you out, download or copy your guest list, send messages in your name, deal with billing, or agree to anything on your behalf. A change they make reaches your guests the same way yours would (if a night is marked cancelled, for example), so before making one they're shown who will hear about it and confirm it themselves. We still don't ask you first.
Every time one of them opens your account we record who it was, when, which page, why and what changed, with a copy of your page from just before each change so it can be put back. If you or an automatic update later change something we changed, we note that too, and keep our version for 90 days so either can be put back. That record is internal and isn't shown in your studio. You can ask us for what it holds about you, like any other data we hold about you.
This is the section the previous version was missing, and it's the one to read if you've just opened someone's page.
We use PostHog (EU region) to understand how pages are used. On a published page (anything at inside.live/someone), PostHog does two things: it stores an identifier on your device so repeat visits are recognised, and it automatically records the taps and interactions you make with the page. It does not capture a replay of your session. Alongside that it receives your IP address, an approximate location worked out from it (roughly city level), your device and browser type, and which page you were on.
On our own marketing pages (the homepage, sign-up and sign-in) it's set up differently and deliberately more lightly: PostHog stores nothing on your device.
Once you are signed in and setting up your page, the steps you take are tied to your account (your account id and email) so we can see where setting up stops and get in touch if it stalls. PostHog keeps nothing on your device beyond the browser tab you are using, and that goes when you close the tab.
In your inside.live studio we record how you use it. The studio is everything after you sign in: building your first page, your hub and the page editor. We record what is on screen, your taps and scrolls, the pages you open, and technical details such as error messages and the addresses of the requests the page makes. We do it so we can see what went wrong when something breaks and help you. Each recording is linked to your account, so we know whose it is. What you type into a box is hidden from the recording, though what your page then shows is not: an event name you type still appears where your page displays it. Your fans' names, emails and phone numbers are always hidden. Recordings are kept for 30 days, and PostHog (EU) holds them. None of this happens on a published page or on our homepage, sign-up and sign-in pages.
We don't sell any of this, and page owners see aggregate numbers about their page rather than a list of who visited. Advertising measurement happens in two places, and only for people who say yes to it: on our own homepage, sign-up and sign-in pages for people who came from one of our ads (the next section), and on a page whose owner has added their own Meta Pixel (A page owner's Meta Pixel).
We advertise inside.live to event promoters on Instagram and Facebook. If you arrive from one of those ads, the sign-up page has a box you can tick: "Let Meta know which ad brought you". It is never ticked for you. If you don't tick it, or you didn't come from one of our ads, none of what follows happens: Meta's Pixel doesn't load, nothing is stored for Meta on your device, and nothing about you is sent to Meta for advertising.
When you arrive from one of our ads, Meta adds a click id for that ad to the link you tapped. We pass it along in our links to the sign-up and sign-in pages, in the page's address. It isn't stored on your device or sent to Meta unless you tick the box; if you do, we keep it in your browser tab so your sign-up can be matched to the ad.
If you tick it, Meta's Pixel loads on our sign-up and sign-in pages, and on our homepage when you next arrive from one of our ads. It sets Meta's cookies on your device and tells Meta when you view those pages (including their address), that you entered your Instagram handle, and when you create an account. When you create an account we also tell Meta from our server, so the sign-up is counted even if your browser blocks the Pixel. That message carries a scrambled (hashed) copy of your email address and of your account id, your IP address, your browser's details and Meta's cookie ids. Meta uses it to match the sign-up to the ad and to measure and improve our ads, under Meta's Business Tools Terms.
This section is about people signing up to inside.live. On a page whose owner has added their own Meta Pixel, visitors are asked separately, for that page, as the next section explains. Nothing about people who sign up to a mailing list, RSVP or talk to Ini is sent to Meta for advertising. (Separately, when you type an Instagram handle into our homepage, the profile picture we show you is loaded from Instagram's servers, which see your IP address and browser details, as any image from them would.)
We do this only with your consent. To change your answer, untick the box, or : the box will be unticked the next time you see it. To remove Meta's cookies, clear inside.live's cookies in your browser.
Some page owners advertise their events on Instagram and Facebook and add their own Meta Pixel to their inside.live page, so they can see which of their ads work. On those pages we ask you first, in a bar that names the page owner and Meta. If you say no, or don't answer, nothing of Meta's loads and nothing is sent to Meta.
If you say yes, Meta's Pixel loads on that page. It sets Meta's cookies on your device and tells Meta, for that page owner's Pixel only: that you viewed the page, which events you looked at, and whether you tapped a ticket button, the Ini button or RSVP'd. With it go your IP address, your browser's details and the page's address. If you arrived from one of the page owner's ads, the ad's click id is also added to the ticket link you tap, so their own Pixel on the ticket site can match a purchase to the ad. Meta uses this under its Business Tools Terms to measure and improve that page owner's ads.
Who is responsible. For collecting this data on the page and sending it to Meta, inside.live and the page owner are joint controllers (Article 26 GDPR): we show the question, keep your answer and publish this notice; the page owner decides to use the Pixel and is responsible for what happens in their Meta account. Meta is responsible for what it does with the data once it has it. You can contact either of us about it; we'll pass on a request that is the page owner's to answer.
What we never do. Your yes on one page owner's page counts for that page only. We don't load a page owner's Pixel on a page its owner has marked as being about a sensitive community, or on a page with an event whose name says something personal about the people who go (sexuality, religion, health or ethnic origin), and no personal details you give an RSVP or Ini are sent with it. Meta's cookies are set on inside.live, so the same Meta cookie id is seen by every page owner's Pixel you've said yes to.
We keep your answer on your device for six months, then ask again. To change it, tap Cookies at the bottom of the page's drawer. Saying no after a yes stops the Pixel on that page and removes Meta's cookies from your browser.
Some pages have a subscribe bell that invites you to join the page owner's mailing list. If you use it, your email address is stored in our database, tagged to that page, along with the time, your IP address and the wording you were shown, as a record of your consent. The page owner is notified that someone signed up. The point of the bell is that the page owner can email you later, so treat it as giving your address to them, not to us. We don't email you ourselves when you use it.
To be taken off a list, use the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any email we deliver for it. If you can't, email us at info@inside.live and we'll remove you.
Ini is inside.live's assistant on WhatsApp, and Ini is an AI: Ini's replies are written by an AI model from the details of the events on inside.live and from public event listings around Dublin. The Ini button on an event page opens WhatsApp with a message typed out for you. Nothing is sent until you send it, and nothing on the page links your visit to your WhatsApp account.
If you message Ini, we keep:
Your messages go to an AI model provider (currently Google's Gemini API) so it can write Ini's replies. Page owners don't get your number or your name from Ini. If you ask something the event's details don't answer, Ini passes the question on to the page owner so they can fill the gap: a short version of what you asked, with any phone number or email address taken out of it. They see that and how many people asked it, never who. When they answer, Ini sends you their answer, because you asked, quoting your own question and nobody else's. The page owner can also put their answer on the event's page, with the question in their own words: your message itself never goes on the page. STOP ends it, like everything else, and so does "stop reminders".
Ini can also tell you what's on around Dublin from public event listings. When Ini looks up what's on for you, in those listings or among the nights on inside.live, we keep the question you asked in a separate log, with your number, email address, any @handle or profile link, an Eircode, a house number and street, your WhatsApp name and a name you give ("I'm …") taken out. Anything else you type stays in it as you wrote it. Each question is kept under a code that is the same every time you ask, so we can count how many different people asked. The code isn't your number or your name, but we can work out which one is yours, and we will if you ask us to delete your questions. We use the log to count what people look for, and to tell hosts how many people asked Ini about their events: a number, never who, and never the question.
When you show Ini a night you're into, Ini may message you about it, for up to three nights at a time. A countdown to it, the host's news about it, word of the host's next night, or of tickets coming back. Say "stop" any time and everything from Ini ends at once, until you message Ini again later. Say "stop reminders" (or use one of the other ways in To stop it below) and all of these end, for every night; only Ini's messages about other nights on inside.live (below) carry on, until you say "stop".
Ini doesn't ask first, and doesn't say so in the chat: this notice is where it's written. When you show Ini you're into a particular night (with the Ini button on its page, by picking it from Ini's suggestions or opening its link, by saying it looks good or asking how to get in, or by saying you're going), Ini sets this up for you, for the three nights you've shown the most interest in, unless you've told Ini to stop in the same conversation (see To stop it below). A night you came to Ini about from its page comes first. If another night overtakes one, Ini stops messaging you about the one it overtook, unless it's starting within two days, you came about it from its page, or you said you're going. If you tell Ini a night isn't for you, Ini stops messaging you about it, unless you've said you're going. Asking Ini to remind you, to tell you when a host's next night is up, or to put you on a waitlist is your own request: it always counts, and it isn't one of the three. For each of the three:
A night you only opened from one of Ini's suggestions (one she sent when you said hi or asked what's on, never the ones after her answer about a night you came to her about from its page) gets one message, on its day, and none of the host's updates.
We're moving everyone to the three over the coming days, starting with a few people. Until you're moved over, Ini sets this up for any particular night you message Ini about (with the Ini button on its page, say, or by asking about it), for up to three countdowns and three heads-ups at a time, and a countdown can also have a message a week before; everything else in this section is the same. When you're moved over, a night Ini set up that way still finishes as it was set up.
We keep Ini's reply exactly as Ini sent it, with the message you sent or the suggestion you tapped, as the record of what you showed Ini, and how that night ranked among yours at the time. The messages Ini sends you later don't each repeat how to stop, but stopping always works, whatever you're replying to.
Ini does this once for each night (again if it comes back into your three, or if you stop it and later show Ini it again), and those messages carry only the night's own details, the host's updates about it, or the host's next night (never a night that says something personal about the people who go). Ini's own reminders and heads-ups set up this way never come between 10pm and 10am or more than once a day, the day of the night included, and are never more than four in a week, the day of the night itself aside. A host's updates about the night have their own limits (at most three a day and six in all for one night), and on the day of the night itself, from six hours before it starts, one comes straight away, as in Plans below. Ini doesn't do any of this for a night that says something personal about the people who go (see What Ini remembers about your taste) unless you ask Ini to remind you, or for anyone who has told Ini they're under 18. Page owners aren't told who Ini messages, only how many people Ini is reminding about each of their nights (the people a host's update would reach) and how many a host's update reached.
To stop it, tell Ini to stop, any time. STOP, and the everyday ways of saying it ("stop", "stop messaging me", "leave me alone", "unsubscribe me", "i don't want these messages"), stop everything at once. Answer Ini with "i'd rather you didn't", or one of Ini's reminders with a no ("no thanks"), or say "don't message me about…" in a longer message, and every reminder, host's update and heads-up ends, and Ini won't message you first about other nights on inside.live until you message Ini again later (see the next part); Ini still answers when you message, and tells you that STOP ends the rest. Say "stop reminders" (or tap it), "no reminders" or "turn off reminders" and every reminder, host's update, plan's news, answer still to come from a page owner, and word of a next night or of tickets ends, for every night (and so does "don't remind me about that one": Ini reads it as being about her reminders); the messages about other nights below carry on until you send STOP. Since 15 October 2026 the same is true when you say "stop checking in" (or "stop following up"), when you answer one of her check-ins or her weekend's nights with a no ("no thanks", "no more of those", "i'd rather you didn't"), and when you complain plainly about her messaging you, wherever you do ("how did you get my number?", "why are you messaging me?", "i never signed up for this"): these end her check-ins and follow-ups too (see If you've messaged Ini), and Ini tells you what has ended ("no bother, no more reminders, heads-ups or check-ins from me. if you'd rather i went quiet altogether, just say stop."). If you tell Ini some other way that you'd like fewer messages from her, or none, nothing ends: she tells you how, "if you'd rather i didn't message you, just say stop." "no more suggestions" said on its own, other than in answer to one of her check-ins or her weekend's nights, is about her suggestions (see What Ini remembers about your taste), never the reminders you asked for. Say you can't make it, and that night's messages end, and Ini says so; Ini won't count you down to that night on its own again, now or later, unless you ask Ini to remind you. For the rest of that conversation Ini won't set any of this up for you on its own again, and if you ask Ini to remind you about a night, that's your own request, and Ini does just that. If you message Ini again later, six hours or more after you told Ini to stop, Ini can set up reminders about the nights you show Ini you're into, or, for a night that's over, cancelled or sold out, word of its host's next night (and of tickets coming back), just as it would for anyone, and without saying so in the chat. Saying stop again ends them again. The messages about other nights on inside.live and brands' offers are next.
When you first message Ini about a night, Ini's reply tells you that Ini will also message you now and then about new nights on inside.live, and that you can reply STOP at any time. We keep that sentence exactly as Ini sent it, with your message, as the record. After that Ini may message you first about inside.live's own nights: a new night from a host you asked about, nights like the ones you're into, or asking how a night you went to was. Some of those nights are backed by a brand, and those messages say sponsored. Every one of these messages tells you how to stop them, and Ini sends no more than two a week.
Offers and discounts from other brands only come if you say yes when Ini asks you, which Ini does once on a page you message Ini about, until you say yes. We keep Ini's question and your answer. Say no, or say nothing, and you won't get them.
Reply STOP and all of it stops at once, and the notes on your taste, and the note of your plans, are deleted. After you tell Ini to stop, if you message her again later (six hours or more after), she can send you inside.live's and brands' offers again on the yes you gave before. That means a message of your own, not another stop or a complaint about being messaged. Saying stop again ends it, at once. Until you message her again, nothing starts again, and Ini doesn't ask you about offers either. Nights that say something personal about you and being seen by your crew are different: they need a fresh yes from you.
If you take up one of Ini's suggestions, Ini may now and then message you first when something comes on that fits what she's learned about you. Taking one up means picking one (tapping it or naming it), opening its link, saying one looks good or that you're going, asking for more of a kind ("more comedy"), or answering her question about what you're into. Then, when a night comes on, on inside.live or in the public listings around Dublin, that is new since, starts two to ten days later and fits what you're into, Ini may send you one message about it: the night, its date and her reason, a fact about the night itself (an afrobeats night, say), never what she knows of your taste or which links you opened. WhatsApp files it as marketing. It has two buttons: "Sounds good", and Ini sends you the night with its link; "Not for me", and Ini notes that one isn't for you, and nothing else changes (though two in a row count like two she got no answer to, below).
Ini does this at most once a week, never between 10pm and 10am, never within three days of your last message to her, never the day after another message she started or the day before one of her reminders, never within 30 days of you telling her "no more suggestions", and not at all for a month after two in a row go unanswered or get a "Not for me" (after three unanswered, not until you message her again). It counts towards the four messages a week Ini may start on her own, never goes on a day she has already started one, and never in the same week as her one message about a night you only opened. It is never about a night that says something personal about the people who go, and never for anyone who has told Ini they're under 18. Only suggestions Ini sends you from the day we started this count: nothing from before.
We keep, as the record of why Ini may check in with you, her suggestions message you took up exactly as Ini sent it and the message of yours it answered (never anything Ini wrote in its place), for as long as it's in use and 24 months after it ends, then we delete it. Page owners and brands never see it, and it is never used for brands' offers.
To stop it, say "stop checking in" any time, or answer one with "no more of those", "no more suggestions" or just "no thanks", and they end, and since 15 October 2026 so do her reminders and countdowns, the plans' news, a host's updates and answers still to come, and word of a next night or of tickets, as "stop reminders" ends them ("no more suggestions" turns Ini's suggestions off as well, and "no thanks" also tells her that night isn't for you). Ini's messages about other nights on inside.live (When Ini messages you first) end only on STOP. A complaint about her messaging you in plain words, in reply to one or anywhere else, ends the same (see the next part). STOP ends them with everything else, and so do "stop reminders" and "don't message me about…". If you tell her some other way that you'd like fewer messages, or none, she tells you to say stop. If, in a later conversation, you take up one of Ini's suggestions again, she may check in with you again, and saying "stop checking in" ends it again.
Ini may also follow up with anyone who has messaged her, whether or not they took up a suggestion: see the next part.
If you've ever messaged Ini, she may now and then message you first with a night you might like, or a few nights on that weekend, at most once a week, unless you've told her to stop or asked her not to. She doesn't ask you first, and you can stop it any time (below).
It is one of two things. If she knows enough about what you're into, it's a check-in like the ones above: one night, on inside.live or in the public listings around Dublin, that has come on since she last suggested anything to you and starts two to ten days later, with her reason, a fact about the night itself, never what she knows of your taste, and the same two buttons. If she doesn't know enough yet, on a Thursday or a Friday she may send you two or three of that weekend's nights in Dublin instead, each with its day ("a few nights on in dublin this weekend: … want the details on any of them?"). Reply with the one you want, by its name or as "the second one", and she sends you its details and link; "more like that" gets you more like it, and "none of these" tells her none of them are for you. One of those nights that's backed by a brand says sponsored. WhatsApp files both as marketing.
The limits are the check-ins' (above), and the two share them: at most one of these a week, a check-in or the weekend's nights, whichever it is; never between 10pm and 10am; never within three days of your last message to her; never on a day she has already started a message, the day after one, or the day before one of her reminders; and not at all for a month after two in a row go unanswered or are passed on ("none of these", "Not for me"; after three unanswered, not until you message her again). They count towards the four messages a week Ini may start on her own and her one marketing message a week. Never a night that says something personal about the people who go, never for anyone who has told Ini they're under 18, and never for anyone we have blocked from Ini at any time since 15 October 2026.
We keep, as the record of why Ini may follow up with you, the first message you sent her, word for word and in full, even when an ad or her page's button wrote it out for you, and when you sent it: never a button you tapped (its words are Ini's, not yours), a sticker, a photo or a voice note. Nor the words of one of the questions WhatsApp offers you to tap when you first open a chat with Ini ("what's on this weekend?", "anything on tonight?", "something cheap to do?", "surprise me"): a tap on one reaches us exactly as if you'd typed it, and we can't tell the two apart, so those words are never kept as the record, even when you typed them yourself. And if that first message was only a stop or a complaint, asked her not to message you, or said something personal about you of the kind below, it's the first one after it that was none of those. Before she follows up with anyone, the messages sent to Ini before 13 October 2026 are checked again for a STOP or a complaint, the way she reads them today, and if one of yours was a STOP she missed then, she won't follow up with you. We keep it from your first message, whether or not Ini ever follows up, for as long as it's in use and 24 months after it ends, then we delete it, and it isn't written again from anything you said before that. Page owners and brands never see it, and it is never used for brands' offers or for the messages about other nights in When Ini messages you first.
To stop it, say "stop checking in" (or "stop following up") whenever you like, even before she has ever followed up with you, or STOP. Answering one of these messages with a no ("no thanks", "no more of those", "no more suggestions", "i'd rather you didn't") does the same, and so does complaining plainly about her messaging you, wherever you do ("how did you get my number?", "why are you messaging me?", "i never signed up for this"). Any of these ends them for good: Ini won't follow up with you this way again. Since 15 October 2026 they also end her reminders and countdowns, the plans' news, a host's updates and answers still to come, and word of a next night or of tickets, exactly as "stop reminders" does, and Ini tells you what has ended: "no bother, no more reminders, heads-ups or check-ins from me. if you'd rather i went quiet altogether, just say stop." STOP does more: it ends everything, the messages in When Ini messages you first included, and "i'd rather you didn't" also stops her messaging you first about other nights until you message her again (see When you show Ini a night you're into). The others aren't a STOP: Ini's messages about other nights on inside.live and brands' offers end only when you send STOP. "stop reminders" or "don't message me about…" holds these back as long as it holds (see When you show Ini a night you're into). "no more suggestions" said on its own, other than in answer to one of these messages, holds them back for 30 days, as it does her suggestions. Saying you can't make one night, or "forget about the next one", is about that night and doesn't end these. If you tell her some other way that you'd like fewer messages from her, or none, nothing ends: she tells you how, "if you'd rather i didn't message you, just say stop." Only the words above end anything, and only when typed (she can't read a photo's caption or a voice note); Ini's AI model never decides whether something ends.
So the nights and offers Ini sends you are ones you'd actually want, Ini keeps a record of what you ask Ini about: the nights, venues, artists, areas and kinds of music. Brands that pay to reach people on inside.live choose the kind of crowd they want (people into techno, say), and we send their message to the people that fits. A brand is only ever told how many people that is, never who you are, and nothing from it goes to a page owner or to our analytics.
When Ini suggests nights, we keep which ones Ini suggested and which you picked, opened, passed on or said weren't for you, what you said about them, and what you told Ini you're into or not (a kind of night or music, a day, a time, a budget), to choose the next ones. This record is separate from the one above: it is never used for brands or offers, never goes to a page owner or our analytics, never holds a night that says something more personal about the people who go past the conversation you asked for it in unless you say yes (below), and uses only the last 180 days. A page owner sees only totals for their own nights: how many people Ini suggested a night to and how many picked or opened it (never under 20), and how many are getting reminders from Ini about it, never who. STOP deletes it, and so does telling Ini "forget what i like", which deletes this record only (the record above goes when you send STOP, or when you ask us). Say "no more suggestions" and Ini stops suggesting nights (and her check-ins and follow-ups end, as If you've messaged Ini says; the reminders you asked for don't); she still keeps this record, and notes which of her earlier suggestions you open, so her suggestions are right if you ask for them again, until "forget what i like" or STOP deletes it. Your messages and Ini's replies themselves are kept as your conversation (above).
Now and then, when it helps her pick, Ini may ask you what you're into: what kind of thing, which night or how late, with a few answers you can tap, at the end of her suggestions or, when none of them were for you, on its own. She doesn't have to, and never asks the same way twice running. We keep the question she asked and your answer, tapped or typed, in the record above, where your answer counts towards what you're into; it is used, kept and deleted like the rest of that record.
So Ini can pick up where you left off, Ini also keeps a short note of what you've told Ini about your plans, such as a night you were deciding on or a trip coming up, and rewrites it every few messages. It is written to leave out how you feel (a rough week included), your health, money, relationships, anyone else by name, and anything that says something more personal about you (below). It never goes to a page owner, a brand or our analytics, and STOP deletes it.
Some nights say something more personal about the people who go, such as a queer night or a night tied to a religion, a health condition or a nationality. Ini never adds those to your record unless you say yes when Ini asks, which Ini does once for each kind (a question you left unanswered aside, below) and never after you've told Ini to stop, and a no is final. Telling Ini to stop ends that yes, and messaging Ini again later doesn't bring it back: it needs a fresh yes from you. Say "forget that" and Ini deletes that kind and keeps the rest. We only ever use the last 180 days.
Ini suggests one of those nights only when you ask for that kind of night yourself in the conversation ("any queer nights?"), or you've said yes to her remembering it. Until you say yes, we keep that suggestion, and whether you picked or opened it, for that conversation only: once the conversation is over (six hours after your last message, within the hour after), it is deleted, and it never counts towards what you're into. If you pick one, Ini may ask you once in that conversation whether to keep that kind of night in mind when she picks nights for you, never in her first message to you. Say yes in that conversation (tap "Yes, do", or reply with just a yes) and we keep her question exactly as she sent it and your answer, as the record of your yes; that conversation's suggestions of that kind stay in your record and count towards what you're into, and her suggestions may include that kind of night from then on, whether or not you ask for one. That yes is for her suggestions only: it never lets a brand or inside.live send you offers about that kind of night. Say no (tap "No thanks", or reply with just a no), even later, and that's final: we keep her question and your no as the record, so she never asks about that kind again, and that kind's suggestions are deleted. Anything else you reply ("looks class", "no more reminders") is read as what it says, never as an answer to her question. If you don't answer, what she asked is cleared from the record of your taste with the conversation, and she may ask again another time you ask for that kind of night. Your messages and Ini's replies themselves are kept as your conversation (above), like any others.
We don't keep any of this for anyone who tells Ini they're under 18: when you tell Ini you're under 18, any yes or no you gave her about a kind of night like this is deleted at once, with what she suggested of that kind.
Ini can give you a link to send to your friends for a night. If a friend messages Ini through your link, the two of you are linked as crew on Ini, and Ini tells you their first name, so you know it worked. Your crew's size decides who gets limited offers first, when a brand puts a limit on one.
If you say yes when Ini asks whether you want to see which of your crew are going to a night, then your crew who've also said yes can see your first name and whether you're interested in or going to the nights you ask Ini about, and you can see theirs. It works both ways or not at all. It never shows anyone's number or messages, it never shows a night that says something personal of the kind above, and it never shows anyone under 18. Say "hide me", or STOP, and it stops straight away, and messaging Ini again later doesn't turn it back on: it needs a fresh yes from you. Ini asks you this once, ever.
Ini can start a plan for a night: a card you drop in your group chat, with the night's details on it. When a friend taps it, they send Ini a message saying they're in your plan, and they're in. Everyone in that plan can see the first names of the others in it and that they're in, and the person who started it is told as people join or drop out. We keep the message each person sent when they joined. Joining a plan also links you as crew with whoever started it. Hosts don't see plans: not who is in one, and not how many. No one under 18 can start or join a plan.
The card's link is our own (inside.live/in/…), and so is every link Ini sends you: a night's tickets or its page, another host's page, or any other site. Each takes you straight on to where it goes. The only exceptions are WhatsApp's own links and the links in Ini's safety messages, which go exactly as written. When someone opens one of our links, we count that it was opened, when, the page and night it was sent about, and whether on an iPhone, an Android phone or a computer. For most links we don't record who opened it: no name, no number, no IP address. The links in Ini's suggestions are the exception: each is yours, so when you open one we note which suggestion you opened and when, and whether on an iPhone, an Android phone or a computer, linked to you. We use it to choose your next suggestions and, for one of the three nights you've shown most interest in, to remind you about it once, on the day. If one of your suggestion links is opened on a second kind of device, we stop counting that message's links as yours. We never store your IP address with it (opening it reaches our hosting provider, Vercel, whose own technical logs of requests see the address it came from, as for every page on inside.live), and STOP deletes it. A link preview that WhatsApp or another app builds isn't counted. A plan card's count is deleted with the plan.
Joining or starting a plan switches on its countdown and its news (the plan's page says so before you hop in; Ini doesn't repeat it in the chat). Ini then messages you a few times before the night (up to two weeks, a week, three days and one day before, and on the day), never between 10pm and 10am and at most once a day, and tells you when someone in that plan can't make it. Ini also passes on any update the night's host sends about that night, such as a new door time or the set times, in the host's own words and marked as coming from them. Those messages say only the night's own details, the host's updates about it, how many are in, and a first name. We keep Ini's reply as Ini sent it and the message you joined with, as the record that you joined. Tap "Can't make it" or say you can't make it, and you leave that plan and its countdown. Say "stop reminders" (or tap it), or tell Ini in any other words that you don't want her messages, and the reminders, the plan updates and the host's updates stop, with every heads-up Ini set up for you (see When you show Ini a night you're into); the messages about other nights on inside.live carry on until you send STOP. Send STOP on its own to end everything.
You don't need a plan for a countdown. Tell Ini you're going to a night, ask Ini to remind you about one, or simply show Ini you're into it (When you show Ini a night you're into), and Ini counts you down to it in much the same way, at the same hours (one Ini sets up because you showed Ini the night is one of your three, on the days that section gives, and keeps to 10am to 10pm and one message a day on the night's own day too), with the night's own details and nothing about anyone else, and passes on the host's updates about that night. We keep Ini's reply as Ini sent it and your message (or the suggestion you tapped), as the record that you asked or showed Ini the night. Say you can't make it to end that night's countdown and its updates, "stop reminders" (or "stop checking in", or a no to one of her check-ins or weekend's nights) to end them all, or STOP on its own to end everything. If you've said you can't make a night, saying you're going again or messaging Ini about it won't restart its countdown; asking Ini to remind you will. If you ended it with "stop reminders" or STOP, showing Ini it again later can (see When you show Ini a night you're into).
On the day itself, from six hours before the night starts until it ends, an update from the host comes straight away, whatever the time and even if Ini has already messaged you that day, because a new door time is no use the morning after. Everything else keeps to the hours and the once a day above. A host only ever sends updates about their own night, never offers, and is told how many people Ini sent one to, never who.
Ini never passes on what you say to anyone else (a host's update is the host's own words, sent to the people going, and says it is from them). If you ask Ini to tell your group something, or to ask for a lift, Ini writes the message and gives you a link that opens WhatsApp with it typed out, for you to send in your own group chat. Ini doesn't keep a copy anywhere but your conversation with Ini.
WhatsApp doesn't let any business join a group chat that a person made, so Ini never joins yours. If you ask Ini to make a group for a plan, Ini makes one (up to 8 people, joined by its link). In a group Ini made, Ini reads and answers only messages that start with "ini", and keeps only the fact that one was sent, never what it said or who sent it. People in a WhatsApp group can see each other's numbers, as in any group. If you send Ini STOP, Ini takes you out of the groups Ini made for plans you were in.
Data-protection law asks us to name a lawful basis for each thing we do. Ours:
When you're signed in we store an auth session token in your browser's localStorage. It's necessary to keep you logged in. It isn't an advertising cookie and isn't used for tracking. If you use the editor, it also keeps a working copy of your page, photos included, in your browser's storage.
Separately, on published pages our analytics store an identifier on your device, as described above. That one isn't necessary to make the page work; it's there so we can tell a returning visitor from a new one.
If you came from one of our ads, we note that in your browser tab (it's gone when the tab closes) so the sign-up page knows to offer the Meta box, and if you tick or untick it, we remember your answer on your device so the box shows as you left it. If you ticked it, Meta's Pixel sets Meta's own cookies (see Measuring our ads). On a page whose owner added a Meta Pixel, we keep your answer for that page on your device for six months, with the time and the version of the question you saw (see A page owner's Meta Pixel).
We use a small set of processors to run the service:
Each processes data only on our instructions to provide their service.
Our database, file storage and analytics are hosted in the EU. Some of the others (payments, email, hosting, WhatsApp messaging and the AI model behind Ini) are US companies and may process data in the United States or elsewhere. Where that happens, transfers rely on the standard safeguards those providers publish, such as the European Commission's standard contractual clauses and the UK addendum to them.
You can stop direct marketing, including the record of your taste behind it, at any time and without giving a reason: reply STOP to Ini, and it stops at once. If you message Ini again six hours or more later, inside.live's and brands' offers can start again on the yes you gave before; reply STOP again and they stop again. "Hide me" stops your crew seeing your nights, and "forget that" deletes a personal kind of night from your record.
You can also object, at any time and without giving a reason, to Ini keeping you posted about the nights you showed Ini you're into: tell Ini to stop and every message Ini would have started ends at once, or say "stop reminders", or tell Ini in any other words that you don't want her messages, to end every reminder, host's update and heads-up. Either way Ini won't set them up again on its own in that conversation. If you show Ini a night later, Ini can set that night up again, and you can object again at any time.
You can object to Ini checking in with you now and then about a night you'd like, at any time and without giving a reason: say "stop checking in" (or "no thanks" to one), or STOP, and it ends, with her reminders and heads-ups.
You can object to Ini following up with you because you've messaged her, at any time and without giving a reason: say "stop checking in" (or "stop following up", or "no thanks" to one), or STOP, and it ends for good, with her reminders, heads-ups, the plans' news and a host's updates and answers still to come (If you've messaged Ini). Tell her some other way and she tells you to say stop.
Under the GDPR you can ask for access to your data, rectification, erasure, portability, or object to processing. Email info@inside.live and we'll act on it. You also have the right to complain to the ICO or your local supervisory authority (in Ireland, the Data Protection Commission).
You don't have to email us to be erased: account settings in the editor has a delete button that does it in full (pages, uploads, account, login). Our record of our team working in your account stays for two years, without the copies of your page (How long we keep things). Read Ending your account in our Terms of Service first, because it can't be undone and it cancels any paid plan on the spot.
Ini never markets to, profiles or shows to their crew anyone who tells Ini they're under 18, never sets up reminders or heads-ups for them on its own, and never follows up with them.
inside.live isn't built for children, and we don't knowingly collect data from them. If you think a child has an account or has given us their details, email info@inside.live and we'll remove it.
If this notice changes in a way that matters, we'll flag it on the site or by email, and update the date at the top.
15 October 2026. When you say "stop checking in", answer one of her check-ins or her weekend's nights with a no ("no thanks", "no more of those", "i'd rather you didn't"), or complain plainly about her messaging you, it now ends her reminders and countdowns, the plans' news, a host's updates and answers still to come, and word of a next night or of tickets, not only her follow-ups and check-ins, exactly as "stop reminders" does, and Ini tells you what has ended. It isn't a STOP: Ini's messages about other nights on inside.live and brands' offers end only when you send STOP. If you tell her some other way that you'd like fewer messages from her, or none, nothing ends: she tells you to say stop. Only those words end anything; Ini's AI model never decides it. Saying you can't make one night, or "forget about the next one", is still about that night, and "no more suggestions" on its own is still about her suggestions. See If you've messaged Ini.
14 October 2026. If you've ever messaged Ini, she may now and then message you first, even if you've never taken up one of her suggestions: a check-in with a night that fits, when she knows enough about what you're into, or else, on a Thursday or a Friday, two or three of that weekend's nights in Dublin. At most once a week, shared with her check-ins, never between 10pm and 10am, never within three days of your last message, and never a night that says something personal about the people who go. WhatsApp files it as marketing. You don't have to say yes first: say "stop checking in" (or "no thanks" to one), or STOP, and it ends for good. We keep the first message you sent Ini, word for word, even when an ad or her page's button wrote it out for you, and when, as the record of why, for as long as it's in use and 24 months after it ends. See If you've messaged Ini, Why we're allowed to and "How long we keep things".
14 October 2026. Our team now gets a short notice in its own Google Chat when someone new signs up, claims their link, or messages Ini for the first time: where they came from as far as we know, the link and Instagram handle once claimed, and for Ini their first message with any email address, phone number, @handle or link, their WhatsApp name and a name they give ("I'm …") taken out (anything else they typed can stay, a name written some other way included). We never add an email address, a phone number or a WhatsApp name to a notice. Google is listed under Who processes it.
14 October 2026. If you take up one of Ini's suggestions, Ini may now and then message you first when something comes on that fits what she's learned about you: one night, with her reason, at most once a week, never between 10pm and 10am, never within three days of your last message, never the day after another message she started, never for 30 days after "no more suggestions", and never a night that says something personal about the people who go. WhatsApp files it as marketing. Say "stop checking in" (or "no thanks" to one, or STOP) and it ends. Only suggestions Ini sends you from the day we switch it on count. We keep her suggestions message you took up and your message it answered as the record of why, for as long as it's in use and 24 months after it ends. See Now and then, a night you'd like, Why we're allowed to and "How long we keep things".
14 October 2026. Ini now keeps you posted about the three nights you've shown her you're most into, rather than every night you message her about: a night you came to her about from its page comes first and stays, then one you said you're going to, then one you picked or opened from her suggestions or said looks good. A stronger night can take a weaker one's place, unless the weaker one starts within two days, you came about it from its page, or you said you're going. Her countdown comes up to two weeks, three days and one day before, and on the day, never on the same day as or the day after another message from her about that night, except the day before and the day itself. Tell her a night isn't for you and she stops messaging you about it, unless you said you're going. Asking Ini to remind you, to tell you when a host's next night is up, or to put you on a waitlist still always works, and isn't one of the three. A night you only opened from her suggestions gets one message, on its day, filed with WhatsApp as marketing. We keep which nights you showed her and how for 30 days (STOP and "forget what i like" delete them), and how a night ranked with Ini's reply that set it up. We're moving everyone over to this in the coming days; until you're moved, Ini keeps you posted as before, about any night you message her about. See When you show Ini a night you're into, Why we're allowed to and "How long we keep things".
14 October 2026. A page owner now sees, in their insights, totals for each of their own nights: how many people Ini suggested it to and how many picked or opened it (never under 20), and how many are getting reminders from Ini about it. Never who. The record of your taste and of Ini's suggestions still never goes to a page owner. See What Ini remembers about your taste and When you show Ini a night you're into.
13 October 2026. Ini may now ask you what you're into (a kind of night, a day, how late), now and then, with answers to tap, and we keep her question and your answer in the record of your taste. She suggests a night that says something personal about the people who go (a queer night, say) only when you ask for that kind of night yourself in the conversation, and without your yes that suggestion, and whether you picked or opened it, is kept for that conversation only and deleted once it's over. After you pick one, she may ask you once whether to keep that kind of night in mind when she picks nights for you: we keep her question exactly as she sent it and your yes or no; only a yes keeps it (for her suggestions, never for offers), and a no is final. See What Ini remembers about your taste and "How long we keep things".
13 October 2026. Ini now suggests nights: her pick and two more, each with its own link, when you say hi or ask what's on. We keep which nights Ini suggested and which you picked, opened, passed on or said weren't for you, what you said about them, and what you told Ini you're into, to choose the next ones, and only ever use the last 180 days of it. The links in Ini's suggestions are yours, so when you open one we note which, when, and on what kind of device (we never store your IP address). It is never used for brands or offers and never goes to a page owner or our analytics. STOP deletes it, and so does "forget what i like"; "no more suggestions" stops the suggestions and keeps the record for when you ask again. We also keep, for 90 days, whether each message Ini sends you was delivered or failed, and when (never whether you read it). See What Ini remembers about your taste, Plans and "How long we keep things".
13 October 2026. After you tell Ini to stop, if you message her again later (six hours or more after), she can send you inside.live's and brands' offers again on the yes you gave before, and the notes on your taste can start again from what you say after that. Saying stop again ends it, at once. Nights that say something personal about you and being seen by your crew still need a fresh yes. See When you message Ini about a night and "When Ini messages you first".
12 October 2026. Telling Ini to stop still stops everything at once. What's new is what happens if you message Ini again later: Ini can keep you posted about the night you ask about (or, for a night that's over, cancelled or sold out, its host's next night and tickets coming back), as it would for anyone, and, like everything Ini sets up, without saying so in the chat. If you said you can't make a night, its countdown stays off unless you ask Ini to remind you. (Other messages about nights on inside.live and brands' offers changed again on 13 October, above.) Nights that say something personal about you end for good when you tell Ini to stop, and Ini doesn't ask about them again; Ini asks about being seen by your crew once, ever. Ini's reply when you tell it to stop says only what's true now: "done, i won't message you again unless you message me first." See When you message Ini about a night.
12 October 2026. Ini no longer says in the chat what Ini has set up for a night, or how to stop it, and the messages Ini sends later don't each repeat it: it's written here instead. When you message Ini about a night, Ini may message you about it; say "stop" any time and everything from Ini ends, for good, or "stop reminders" to end all of those messages about nights you've asked about (a countdown, the host's news, a next night, tickets coming back). Nothing else about what Ini sends, or when, has changed. See When you message Ini about a night. (What "stop" does when you message Ini again later changed the same day and on 13 October: see the two entries above.)
12 October 2026. Ini can now tell you what's on around Dublin from public event listings, as well as the nights on inside.live. When Ini looks up what's on for you, in those listings or among the nights on inside.live, the question you asked is kept in a separate log, with your number, email address, @handles and profile links, an Eircode or a house number and street, your WhatsApp name and a name you give taken out; anything else you type can stay. It is kept under a code that is the same each time you ask, which we can link back to you and will if you ask us to delete your questions. We use it to count what people look for and to tell hosts how many people asked about their events: a number, never who. The same change is in "Talking to Ini on WhatsApp", "Why we're allowed to" and "How long we keep things".
12 October 2026. Ini's short note about you is now rewritten every few messages, and as well as the kinds of nights you're into it keeps what you told Ini about your plans, so your next chat can pick up where you left off. It is written to leave out how you feel, your health, money, relationships, anyone else by name and anything more personal about you, and STOP deletes it. See What Ini remembers about your taste.
11 October 2026. When you message Ini about a night, Ini now keeps you posted about it without asking first: a countdown to a night still to come, with the host's updates, or word of the host's next night (and of tickets coming back, for a sold-out night). Ini says so in that reply, says how to stop in every message after it, and stops for good when you tell Ini to, in whatever words, or answer that message with a no. See When you message Ini about a night and Why we're allowed to.
11 October 2026. When you ask Ini something the event's details don't answer, Ini now passes the question on to the page owner, as a short version of what you asked, with any phone number or email address taken out. They see it and how many people asked, never who. When they answer, Ini sends you their answer because you asked; STOP ends it, and so does "stop reminders". The owner can put their answer on the event's page with the question in their own words, never your message. The same change is in "Talking to Ini on WhatsApp" and "Why we're allowed to".
10 October 2026. A new section, When our team works in your account: a few named people at inside.live can open your studio to fix problems and help you, and see what you see there, your guests' names and email addresses included. They never take a copy, and we record every time they do it. The same change is in "Two different roles", "Why we're allowed to" and "How long we keep things". Help with your page or a night is at inside.live/help.
