Last updated 12 November 2026. This covers Tokyo by Locals and its 18+ section, After Hours.

What we collect

• What you type into a booking request or a question: the name for the booking, your email, the date, time and party size, and any notes or preferences you add.
• The country your request came from, and a scrambled (hashed) form of your IP address, which we use only to stop spam and abuse.

You can browse the site without giving us anything. There is no account and no app.

What we use it for

Only to arrange the booking you asked for and to answer you by email. We do not send newsletters or advertising, and we do not sell or rent your details.

Who sees it

• The venue or shop you asked us to book, which receives the details it needs to take the booking, such as the name, time, party size and your stated preferences. We do not give venues your email address unless a booking requires it and you agree.
• Our service providers: Cloudflare, which hosts the site and stores requests, and our email and messaging providers, which carry the request to our desk.
• Stripe, if you pay a booking fee. Card details go directly to Stripe. We never see or store your card number.

Cookies

We do not use advertising or tracking cookies. After Hours remembers that you confirmed your age for the current browser session only.

How long we keep it

We keep booking requests for as long as needed to handle the booking and any follow-up, and for our accounting records where a fee was paid. Ask us and we will delete your request details unless we are required by law to keep them.
