Terms of use
Convenience translation. This English version is provided for information only. It has not yet been reviewed by a lawyer. In case of any difference, the Hungarian text prevails.
1. The provider
The NightFinder mobile app (hereinafter: the “App”) and the nightfinder.bardanapp.com website (hereinafter: the “Website”) are operated by Bucsek Barnabás e.v. (sole proprietor), together with the Website’s partner portal (2836 Baj, Sport utca 2.; tax number: 92374821-1-31; e-mail: info@bardanapp.com).
2. Who can use it
The App is intended only for people who have turned 18. Before use, we check your age based on your date of birth.
3. What the App offers
The App helps you discover hospitality venues in Budapest (bars, pubs, wine bars) and late-night food spots, and helps groups decide together (Roulette). The App is free. It is currently a test version: its features and content may change.
4. Place data
Place data comes partly from the OpenStreetMap community database (© OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL), and before launch we also check some of it by hand (those entries show “Verified”). It is for information only: opening hours, prices or the character of a place may differ from reality. It is worth checking before you set out. You can report incorrect data in the App or by e-mail. How the App ranks places is described on the Why these? page.
5. Responsible consumption
The App does not encourage alcohol consumption. Drink responsibly, and do not drive after drinking alcohol.
6. Account
An account is not required. If you open one, you are responsible for your sign-in details. You can delete your account in the App at any time (Account and settings → Delete account).
7. Voting (phased out) and ratings
Group voting in the App and on the Website was phased out on 31 October 2026; no new vote can be started. We delete the data of earlier votes 30 days after they expire. Instead, Roulette in the App helps you choose: the App picks one at random from the places you select.
- A star rating should be based on your own experience. It is prohibited to influence ratings in bulk, by automated means or with false identifiers.
- We may delete a rating that violates the rules or is unlawful without warning. If you see one, you can report it by e-mail.
8. Prohibited use
It is prohibited to use the App and the Website for unlawful purposes, to send a report in someone else’s name, to submit false data in bulk, or to disrupt their operation.
9. Liability
To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for damage arising from inaccurate place data or for services provided at hospitality venues. The operator of the given place is responsible for these.
10. Privacy
Data processing is covered by the privacy notice.
11. Partner terms
These rules apply to the Website’s partner portal and to the hospitality venues registered there (hereinafter: the “Partner”), together with the points above.
11.1. Who can be a Partner
The operator of a hospitality venue, or an adult person authorised by the operator. After the application, we check by phone or e-mail that the applicant is entitled to represent the place. We may reject an application without giving reasons. After approval, the App shows the place with a “Verified partner” label.
11.2. What the Partner can edit
The place’s name and introduction, opening hours, phone number, website, Instagram, TikTok and Facebook accounts (as links; automatic linking of Instagram and Facebook is covered by point 11.8), up to six photos and the cover image, the photo and description of the entrance, a short sentence about the place (in both Hungarian and English), the offering (divided into sections, with up to three photos), days with different opening hours, payment, booking and other practical information, a short announcement visible for up to seven days, the accent colour of the profile (from predefined colours), the place’s short link (/h/name), and the place’s events, including recurring ones. The place’s address and map location come from OpenStreetMap. The App shows data supplied by the Partner with a “Set by the venue” label.
11.3. The Partner is responsible for the content
- The data provided must be true and up to date; the Partner updates the opening hours when they change.
- The Partner may upload only photos it has the right to use. If a recognisable person appears in the image, the Partner is responsible for having that person’s consent.
- The Partner may post only real events held at the place. An event may last at most 14 hours and may be advertised at most 120 days in advance.
- Neither the texts nor the photos may encourage alcohol consumption or address minors, in accordance with the rules of Hungarian Act XLVIII of 2008 on the Basic Requirements and Certain Restrictions of Commercial Advertising Activity (Grt.). The offering may be a factual list (name, short description); we display prices only in the food-type section, not drink prices. The photo of an offering may not contain a drink price, a promotion or an image showing drinking. Text encouraging drinking, a promotion or an image showing intoxication may not appear anywhere, including in the announcement and in the “when to come” sentence.
- Misleading, offensive, discriminatory or unlawful content, unauthorised use of another business’s or person’s name or trademark, and disrupting the operation of the platform are prohibited.
11.4. What we can do
We may remove content that violates the rules or is unlawful without warning, and in case of repeated or serious violations we may terminate the partnership. We notify you of this by e-mail. We do not rewrite the Partner’s content; at most, we remove it.
11.5. Licence to use
For the duration of the partnership, the Partner grants us a free-of-charge, non-exclusive licence to display the uploaded content in the App and on the Website. The content remains the Partner’s. Point 11.8 separately covers social linking.
11.6. Fees, ranking, termination
The partnership is currently free. If we were to introduce a paid package, we would announce it in advance, in writing, and the Partner would pay only after expressly accepting it. The partnership gives no advantage in the order of recommendations (see: Why these?). The Partner can terminate the partnership at any time with an e-mail to info@bardanapp.com. Upon termination, we remove the content and delete it in line with the privacy notice; the profile again shows OpenStreetMap data.
11.7. What data the Partner receives
On the partner portal you see aggregated statistics about your place, refreshed weekly: how many times its profile was opened in the App and its web place page, how many people requested a route, saved it or added it to Roulette, where it was opened from (for example Tonight, Events, a shared link, a QR code), how many times it appeared in recommendations, how your events performed, which contact links were clicked, as well as the average and the grouped distribution of ratings, the number of tags marked by guests, and on which day of the week and in which time slot people reported a place as found closed or reported incorrect data. You do not receive personal data: no name, e-mail address, account identifier, location data, exact time, individual rating, and not even the text comments of those who report. We show a number only if it comes from at least 5 different devices; if a smaller value could be calculated back, we hide or merge that too. One device counts once a day in an indicator, we do not count your own opens (if you are signed in to the App with your partner account), and only users who have not turned off the statistics count. The numbers are estimates, not booked visitors; a route request does not mean a certain visit, and a phone tap does not mean a certain call. Only you and we see the statistics, no other partner does, and they have no effect on the order of recommendations. Data processing is covered by the privacy notice.
11.8. Linking a social profile
On the partner portal, the Partner may voluntarily link the place’s Instagram account (professional account) and Facebook Page. Through the link, approved posts and 24-hour stories appear on the place’s profile in the App and on the Website. A TikTok account cannot be linked.
- We only read. In the linked account we do not post or change anything on the Partner’s behalf.
- The Partner is responsible for the content, and also for having the right to display it (image, video, text, music, the consent of people appearing in the image). The rules of point 11.3 also apply to social content: text encouraging drinking, drink prices, drink promotions, images addressing minors or showing intoxication may not appear with us. The fact that a post appeared on the social platform does not mean it may appear with us.
- Approval and filtering. By default, an item appears with the Partner’s approval. If we mark the Partner’s profile as trusted, stories may appear without approval, but posts may not. The keyword filter holds back an item containing wording that encourages drinking or promotes drink offers. We may hide or remove an item that violates the rules or is unlawful without warning, and we notify you of this by e-mail. We do not rewrite the content.
- Licence to use. The Partner grants us a free-of-charge, non-exclusive licence to display the approved items on the place’s profile, in the App and on the Website, to the extent necessary for displaying them, for the duration of the link. The content remains the Partner’s (or its rights holder’s); we do not keep it after disconnection.
- The platform’s terms also apply. The link is based on the service and terms of Meta (Instagram, Facebook). If Meta ends or changes access, the feature may stop temporarily or permanently; we do not guarantee continuous operation.
- Can be disconnected at any time. The Partner can end the link with the Disconnect button on the partner portal, in Meta’s settings under Business integrations, or by e-mail. Data processing is covered by Section 10 of the privacy notice.
12. Other
These terms are governed by Hungarian law. We will inform you of changes to the terms in the App and on the Website.
