Effective October 7, 2026; updated October 22, 2026. Open Mic Finder is made by PARqore. Questions: support@parqore.com.
Open Mic Finder helps you find music open mics and jams near you. It has no accounts, no ads, and no analytics or tracking tools. We do not sell or share your data for advertising.
The app only reads your location when you tap "Use my location" and allow it. It then sends those coordinates to our finder server to look up nearby nights and measure the distance to each one. The server does not save your coordinates. Like most web servers, our hosting provider keeps short-lived request logs, which can include the coordinates of a search. Those logs are not linked to your name or any account, and we do not use them to track you. The app never uses your location in the background.
If you would rather not share location, type a city or ZIP instead. The server looks that place up with OpenStreetMap's Nominatim service to find its map point. It keeps the place you typed and its map point for up to 30 days, so the same search is faster next time. That is only the city or ZIP you typed, never your phone's location, and it is not linked to you.
Your saved venues, reminder settings, and last search area are stored only on your device. Deleting the app deletes them.
If you add a night with the Add form, we store the venue details you enter, plus any notes or contact you choose to include, so we can review the listing. If you report wrong information, we store the report and any contact you include. Approved nights are shown to other users; your contact details are never shown in the app.
A venue owner can choose to connect their venue's Facebook Page at our venue page. They pick which Pages to share in Facebook's own dialog. We then store a Facebook access key for those Pages and read only those Pages' own posts. We keep a post only if it looks like an open mic or jam, so a person can check it before it is listed. We do not read personal profiles, friends, messages, or comments, and we never post anything. The owner can stop at any time by removing Open Mic Finder in Facebook's settings or by emailing us; we then delete the Page connection and the posts we kept.
Open Mic Finder is meant for adults. Many listed venues are bars. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.
To remove a night you added or a report you sent, email support@parqore.com with the venue name and we will delete it.
If this policy changes, we will update this page and the date above.
