Effective Date: 25 September 2026
Last Updated: 25 September 2026
These Terms govern your use of the BTLR app and services (“BTLR”, “the
Service”). By creating an account you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not
use the Service.
1. What BTLR is
BTLR is a lifestyle personalisation platform. You record what you like; BTLR
shares what you choose with venues, butlers and experiences so they can serve
you better.
The Service includes:
- Preferences — your personal preference graph, built from what you tell us.
- Spaces — participating venues. Owners register a Space, place BTLR
beacons, and configure touchpoints.
- Presence detection — Bluetooth beacons and geofences that recognise you
at a Space.
- Butlers — individuals you can book for a session.
- SocialMatch — optional introductions to other guests at a venue.
- Tokens and gifts — promotional rewards described in §8.
We may change, add or remove features. Where a change materially reduces what
you have paid for, we will tell you and you may cancel.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 to use BTLR, and old enough to form a binding contract
where you live.
If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you are treated as a
minor: some features are restricted, and SocialMatch requires the verified
approval of an adult guardian given through the app.
You must give accurate information and keep it current. Your date of birth
cannot be changed once set, because age gating depends on it — contact support
if it is wrong.
3. Your account
You are responsible for your account and anything done through it. Keep your
credentials and PINs secret, and tell us promptly at Admin@btlr.vip if you
suspect unauthorised use.
Alias profiles. You may create additional personas under one account,
protected by a PIN. Aliases share your account’s email, country and date of
birth. They are for separating contexts — not for impersonating anyone or
evading a restriction, suspension or block.
An alias that goes unused for an extended period is deleted along with its
preferences. We warn you first and you can keep it.
4. Subscriptions and payment
Personal subscriptions. BTLR offers free and paid tiers. Paid tiers renew
automatically for the period you selected until cancelled.
Space subscriptions. Space owners subscribe per Space. A Space is only
created once payment succeeds.
How billing works.
- Prices are shown in your local currency before you commit, and include
applicable taxes where we are required to show them.
- Payment is taken by Stripe. Their terms apply to the payment itself.
- Upgrades take effect immediately and are charged pro rata. Downgrades take
effect at the end of the current period.
- Renewals continue until you cancel. Cancel any time in the app; you keep
access until the period you have paid for ends.
- Where you purchase through Apple, Apple’s billing terms and refund process
apply and cancellation is managed in your Apple account settings.
Refunds. Statutory rights always apply. Beyond those, subscription fees are
generally non-refundable for a period already begun. Butler bookings follow §6.
Non-payment. We may suspend paid features if a payment fails, after telling
you.
5. Spaces (for venue owners)
If you register a Space, you additionally agree that:
- You are authorised to act for that venue.
- The details you provide — address, geofence, contact, tag — are accurate.
- You will use guest data only to serve that guest at your venue, in line with
the permission they gave, and in compliance with data-protection law. You
are a separate controller of any guest data you use for your own purposes.
- You will not attempt to identify a guest beyond what BTLR shares with you, or
combine BTLR data with other sources to do so.
- Beacons supplied or allocated to you remain associated with your Space and are
to be used only for it.
- You are responsible for your staff’s conduct in the Service.
We may suspend or remove a Space that breaches these Terms or puts guests at
risk.
6. Butler bookings
Booking. You select a time, place and duration. A booking is confirmed once
payment succeeds and a butler accepts. Long bookings may be covered by more than
one butler in sequence; the chat and context carry across the handover.
Before the session. A confirmed butler can message you in advance. You can
reply once the pre-session window opens, or earlier if the butler enables it.
Until the session begins, a butler has access to that conversation only.
Cancellation. You may cancel up to the cancellation cut-off shown on the
booking for a refund of the amounts indicated. After that cut-off the booking is
generally non-refundable, because the butler’s time has been committed. If BTLR
or the butler cancels, you are refunded in full.
Tips are voluntary, go to the butler, and are non-refundable.
Butlers are independent. They are not employees of BTLR unless we say so in
writing. We vet and allocate them and we take conduct seriously, but we do not
control every aspect of the service they provide. Report any problem to
Admin@btlr.vip.
Conduct. Treat butlers with respect. Harassment, discrimination, threats or
demands outside the agreed scope end the session immediately with no refund, and
may end your account.
7. SocialMatch
SocialMatch is off unless you turn it on, and you can turn it off at any
time.
When on, other guests at the same venue may be introduced to you on the basis of
shared interests. You control the persona used and what is shared. Contact
details are never shared automatically.
You agree not to use SocialMatch to harass, solicit, advertise, or make anyone
uncomfortable, and not to share what you learn about another guest outside the
Service. We may withdraw access for any of these, without notice.
Minors require verified guardian approval, and matching is age-bracketed.
8. Tokens, gifts and discounts
BTLR may issue tokens granting access to features, discounts or complimentary
butler time, whether from us, a venue, a butler or another member.
Tokens:
- have no cash value, cannot be exchanged for money, and are not
transferable except through the gifting features we provide;
- expire, and are subject to caps and eligibility rules shown at the time;
- can be withdrawn or voided if obtained by error, abuse or misrepresentation.
Nothing here creates an entitlement to a token, or to any particular number.
9. Acceptable use
Do not:
- break the law, or use BTLR to harm, harass, defraud or discriminate;
- impersonate anyone, or misrepresent your association with a venue or business;
- interfere with the Service — probing, scraping, reverse engineering, defeating
rate limits or access controls, or attempting to reach another account’s data;
- tamper with, move, spoof or interfere with BTLR beacons;
- submit content you have no right to submit, or anyone else’s personal data
without a proper basis;
- resell or commercially exploit the Service without our written agreement.
10. Your content
You keep ownership of what you put into BTLR. You grant us a licence to host,
process and display it as needed to run the Service for you — including
generating AI summaries and sharing what you have chosen to share.
You are responsible for having the right to submit what you submit.
11. Availability
We aim to keep BTLR available but do not guarantee uninterrupted service.
Maintenance, outages, third-party failures and connectivity problems happen.
Beacon detection additionally depends on your device, its permissions, Bluetooth
being enabled, and local conditions.
12. Suspension and termination
You may close your account at any time in the app. Closure deletes or anonymises
your personal data except records we must keep by law.
We may suspend or end your access if you breach these Terms, if required by law,
or to protect users, and we will tell you why unless we are prevented from
doing so.
13. Disclaimers and liability
The Service is provided “as is”. We do not warrant that it will be
uninterrupted, error-free, or that preferences and recommendations will be
accurate or suitable.
BTLR is a facilitator. Meals, stays, experiences and services are provided
by venues and butlers, not by us. We are not responsible for their acts or
omissions beyond what the law requires.
Nothing in these Terms excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by
negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded.
Subject to that, our total liability for any claim is limited to the greater of
the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, or £100.
We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for lost profits, data
or opportunity.
Consumers: you always keep your statutory rights, and nothing here overrides
them.
14. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms. Where a change is material we will tell you in the
app before it takes effect. Continuing to use BTLR after that means you accept
the change; if you do not, close your account.
15. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of
England and Wales have jurisdiction — except that if you are a consumer in
another country, you keep the protection of your local mandatory law and may
bring proceedings where you live.

Effective Date: 25 September 2026
Last Updated: 25 September 2026
BTLR (“we”, “our”, “us”) operates a lifestyle personalisation and guest
experience platform. You tell BTLR what you like; BTLR helps venues, butlers and
experiences serve you accordingly, and only ever on terms you control.
This policy explains what we collect, why, who sees it, and what you can do
about it. It applies to the BTLR mobile app and the services behind it (the
“Service”).
1. Who we are
BTLR is the controller of the personal data described here. For anything in
this policy, including data-subject requests, contact Admin@btlr.vip.
Where a venue (“Space”) uses your data for its own purposes beyond serving you
through BTLR, that venue is a separate controller and its own privacy notice
applies.
2. What we collect
2.1 Account and identity
Name, preferred name, salutation, email address, phone number, country of
residence and country of birth, date of birth, language preferences, your BTLR
tag, and a profile photo if you add one.
Alias profiles. You may create additional personas under one account. An
alias has its own name, photo, tag and preferences, and is protected by a PIN.
Aliases let you keep contexts separate; they are not anonymity from us, and they
inherit your account’s email, country and date of birth.
2.2 Preferences and the preference graph
The things you tell us you like, dislike, need or avoid — food, drink,
hospitality, travel, entertainment, home, accessibility needs and so on. You
can provide these by typing or speaking to the in-app assistant, by uploading
photographs, or by accepting suggestions.
We store these as a structured graph rather than free text, so that a venue can
be told “seafood, no shellfish” without being handed your conversation.
2.3 Special category data
Some preferences reveal information that data-protection law treats as
sensitive — for example dietary requirements that imply a religion, allergies
or health conditions, accessibility needs, or preferences that imply sexual
orientation.
We process this only with your explicit, separate consent, which you give
and can withdraw in the app at any time. Withdrawing it stops further
processing and queues the erasure of the affected data from our systems,
including the AI knowledge graph. See §4.
2.4 Location, Bluetooth and presence
With your permission, the app uses Bluetooth beacons and geofences to detect
when you arrive at, move around within, and leave a participating venue.
Concretely, this means we collect: the identifiers of BTLR beacons your device
detects and their signal strength, your device’s approximate position when a
detection occurs, which touchpoint (bar, spa, reception, table area) you are at
or near, and the times you arrive and leave.
This is the core of how BTLR works — it is what lets a venue know you have
arrived without you announcing yourself. You can refuse or revoke location and
Bluetooth permission at any time in iOS Settings. Venue detection stops; the
rest of the app continues to work.
We do not track your location when you are not near a participating venue, and
we do not build a general movement profile of you.
2.5 Communications
Messages you exchange with the in-app AI assistant, with a butler, with venue
staff, and — if you use SocialMatch — with other guests. Also voice input you
choose to record, which is transcribed on your device.
Messages are not end-to-end encrypted. We analyse the content of your
conversations to extract preferences, because that is the product. They are
encrypted in transit and at rest, and access is restricted as described in §5.
2.6 Bookings and payments
Butler bookings, subscriptions, gifts, tips and their history.
Card details are collected and stored by Stripe, our payment processor. We
never see or store your full card number. We retain the transaction record,
amount, currency, and Stripe’s reference.
2.7 Device and technical data
Device type, operating system version, app version, a device identifier used to
bind your session, push-notification tokens, IP address, and diagnostic logs
(access times, errors, feature usage).
3. Why we use it, and our legal basis
| What we do | Legal basis (UK/EU GDPR) |
|---|
| Create and run your account | Performance of a contract |
| Store your preferences and build your preference graph | Performance of a contract |
| Process special category preferences | Explicit consent (Art. 9(2)(a)) |
| Detect your presence at a venue via beacons | Consent (device permission), then contract |
| Share preferences with a venue or butler you are engaging | Performance of a contract, on your instruction |
| Introduce you to other guests via SocialMatch | Consent — off by default |
| Take payment, bill subscriptions, issue refunds | Performance of a contract |
| Send service and booking notifications | Performance of a contract |
| Send marketing | Consent, withdrawable at any time |
| Keep the platform secure and prevent fraud | Legitimate interests |
| Improve the Service and fix faults | Legitimate interests |
| Meet legal, tax and accounting obligations | Legal obligation |
Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time without affecting
processing already carried out.
4. Automated processing and AI
BTLR uses artificial intelligence to read what you tell it and turn it into
structured preferences, to summarise your preferences for a venue or butler, and
to suggest experiences.
- Your content is processed by AI models operated by us and by third-party model
providers acting as our processors under contract.
- We do not make decisions with legal or similarly significant effects about
you by automated means alone. Nothing in BTLR decides your credit, your
employment, or your access to a service without a human involved.
- Summaries shared with venues use a pseudonymous identifier, not your name.
Your real name is revealed only where you are dealing with that venue or
butler directly.
You can ask us for a human review of any automated summary that you think
misrepresents you, and you can edit or delete any individual preference.
5. Who we share it with, and what they see
Venues (Spaces) you engage with. When you are at, or booked into, a
participating venue, it may see the preferences relevant to serving you and the
fact of your presence. It sees a pseudonymous identifier and the preferences you
have shared — not your whole graph. You choose what is shared, per venue, and
can change it.
Butlers. A butler you have booked can see the preferences relevant to your
session and can exchange messages with you. A butler’s access is limited to the
booking: before the session starts they can message you and nothing more; the
wider view of your engagements opens only once the session begins, and closes
when it ends.
Other guests, via SocialMatch only. SocialMatch is off unless you turn it
on. When on, other guests at the same venue may be shown that you share an
interest, and may be introduced to you. They see the persona you are using and
what you have agreed to share — never your contact details.
Service providers (processors). Cloud hosting and databases, AI model
providers, Stripe for payments, push-notification delivery, email delivery,
error monitoring. They act on our instructions under contract.
Others. Where the law requires it, to protect rights and safety, or as part
of a merger or acquisition (we will tell you if that happens).
We do not sell your personal data, and we do not share it for third-party
advertising.
6. Children and young people
BTLR is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect
their data.
Users under the age of majority in their jurisdiction are treated as minors in
the Service. A minor cannot enable SocialMatch without the verified approval
of an adult guardian, given through the app. Certain features are restricted
for minors regardless of consent.
If you believe a child has given us personal data, contact Admin@btlr.vip
and we will delete it.
7. How long we keep it
| Data | Retention |
|---|
| Account and profile | While your account is open |
| Preferences and preference graph | While your account is open, or until you delete them |
| Special category data | Until you withdraw consent, then queued for erasure |
| Venue engagement and presence records | Condensed into summaries after a rolling window, then deleted |
| Chat messages | Retained for the conversation’s lifetime, then archived or deleted per the surface |
| Inactive alias profiles | Deleted after a period of non-use; we warn you first and you can keep it |
| Bookings, payments, invoices | As required by tax and accounting law (typically 7 years) |
| Diagnostic logs | Short rolling window |
When you close your account we delete or irreversibly anonymise your personal
data, except where we must keep records by law — financial records in
particular.
8. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you have the right to: access your data; correct
it; delete it; restrict or object to processing; withdraw consent; receive your
data in a portable format; and complain to your data-protection authority (in
the UK, the ICO; in the EU, your national authority).
Most of these you can exercise directly in the app — view and edit preferences,
control per-venue sharing, withdraw special-category consent, delete an alias,
or close your account. For anything else, contact Admin@btlr.vip. We respond
within one month.
9. Where your data is held
BTLR operates regionally. Your data is held in the region associated with your
country of residence wherever we can do so.
Some processing necessarily crosses borders — for example when you travel and
engage a venue in another region, or where a processor operates globally. Where
that happens we rely on appropriate safeguards, such as UK/EU standard
contractual clauses, and we minimise what crosses by sharing pseudonymised
summaries rather than raw data wherever possible.
10. Security
Encryption in transit and at rest; row-level access controls in the database so
one account cannot read another’s; restricted and audited staff access;
device-bound sessions; and support for passkeys instead of passwords.
No system is perfectly secure. If a breach affects your rights we will notify
you and the relevant authority as the law requires.
11. Changes to this policy
We will update this policy as the Service changes. Where a change is material we
will tell you in the app before it takes effect. The “Last Updated” date above
always reflects the current version.
Email: Admin@btlr.vip

If you are in the UK or EU and are unhappy with our response, you may complain
to your data-protection authority.
