This notice explains what Coco House collects through cocohouse.club, why, and what you can ask us to do with it. Last updated 11 November 2026.
Who we are
Coco House runs private parties in Lagos and Luz, in the western Algarve, Portugal. We decide how the details on this site are used. For anything about your data, use the contact form and choose ‘Your data’.
What we collect and why
The waiting list. When you join the waiting list for a night, we collect your name, your WhatsApp number and who brought you. We use them to offer you a place if one opens and to tell you about future Coco House nights. Reply STOP on WhatsApp and we won’t message you again.
Optional details. After you join, you can add the names of the people coming with you, your email and an answer to the ocean question. None of it is required. We use the names to keep your group together, the email to send details if a place opens, and the ocean answers may be shown on the night without names. If you tick the box, we’ll also email you about future nights. Unsubscribe in any email.
Companion details. If someone named you on their request, they may send you a private link. Through it you give us your name and WhatsApp number. We match them to the place already requested and use them only to contact you about that night.
Email about the next night, and members-club interest. Your email, to send the news you asked for. We keep these as two groups in MailerLite: ‘Next nights’ and ‘Members interest’. Registering interest in the members club is not membership. Unsubscribe in any email.
Photos and video you send us. After a night you can send us your photos and video through a private upload page. We collect the files, and your name and Instagram name if you give them. We use them to choose what to show from the night. By sending them you agree that we may share them, for example on Instagram. We credit you by name only if you tick ‘Credit me’. If you want something taken down, ask and we’ll remove it. They are kept in private storage with Vercel in the European Union, and can’t be reached by a public link. Ask us to delete them at any time.
The contact form. Your name, your email, what it’s about and what you write, so we can answer you. Each message is emailed to the house.
We don’t sell your details, use them for advertising, or share them with sponsors. A promoter who brought you in may see your first name and the initial of your surname on their private board. A WhatsApp number tells us how to reach you. It is not consent to anything else.
Our reasons in law
The waiting list: our legitimate interest in running the list, which you’d expect when you join it. Companion details and the contact form: handling a request you made. Photos and video: our legitimate interest in keeping a record of the night; sharing them: your agreement when you send them, which you can withdraw at any time by asking us to take them down. Email about the next night and members-club interest: your consent, which you can withdraw at any time by unsubscribing.
Who handles it for us
The Coco House team who run the night. Our service providers: Vercel (hosting and form storage), Google (the spreadsheets we work from, and the fonts on this site), Slack (an internal alert when a request arrives), WhatsApp (messages to you), MailerLite (the ‘Next nights’ and ‘Members interest’ email groups) and Resend (delivers contact-form messages to us). Some of them may process data outside the European Economic Area, under the safeguards the law requires.
How long we keep it
The waiting list: until you tell us to stop, and no longer than 12 months after we last contacted you. Companion details: until the night is over and settled, and no longer than 12 months after it. Contact messages: as long as needed to deal with them. Photos and video: files we don’t use are deleted within 12 months of the night; anything you asked us to delete, when you ask. Next-night and members-interest emails: until you unsubscribe.

Your rights
You can ask to see, correct or delete your details, to restrict or object to how we use them, or to receive a copy. Use the contact form and choose ‘Your data’. We’ll reply within a month. You can also complain to the Portuguese data protection authority, the CNPD (cnpd.pt).
