Venue Compass is a simple, discreet directory of private venues — now with optional anonymous check-ins and private chat. How it works • Type a postcode or place (e.g. “SW1A 1AA” or “Leeds”). • Choose a distance in miles. • See nearby venues on a clean list or map. • Tap a venue to check in: “I’m here” or “Going.” • Select “Here solo” or “Open to chat.” • If others are checked in and open to chat, start a private, anonymous conversation. • Chats use random usernames and expire at midnight. Features • Fast postcode & place search (UK). • Miles-based radius slider. • List ↔ Map toggle, distance badges. • “Use my location” (with permission). • Report a venue (wrong/closed/duplicate). • Optional email updates (consent-based). • New: Anonymous check-ins & midnight-expiring chats. Privacy • No accounts or login required. • No names, ages or phone numbers collected. • We don’t track your location—your device searches locally, then we forget it. • If you join email updates, we only store your email for news you’ve asked for. Important • 18+ only. • We don’t host explicit content or provide matchmaking. • Always check the venue’s website before travelling (hours & policies can change). • If something looks out of date, use “Report a venue” and we’ll fix it.
