Rock U! by Bakewell Apps · Las Vegas, NV · info@rocku.org
Effective date: November 4, 2026
Who we are
Rock U! is a free Las Vegas local live-music finder made by Bakewell Apps. This policy explains what the app and its server collect, why, and how to delete it.
Your account
You can browse gigs without an account. If you create one, Rock U! stores your email address and name. You can sign up with an email and password (the password is stored only as a secure hash), or sign in with Google or Facebook. With Google or Facebook, Rock U! receives your name, email address, and an account ID from that provider and keeps the ID so you can sign in again. Rock U! does not get your Google or Facebook password, contacts, or posts.
Public username
You choose a username. It is public: it appears on gigs you submit, on your profile, and on the leaderboard with your rank and badges. Your email address is never shown to other users.
Saved gigs, check-ins, and badges
When signed in, Rock U! stores the gigs you save, the shows you check in to, the venues or acts you follow, your in-app notifications, and the badges and rank you earn (from Doorman to Lead Singer). Saving a gig also follows its band and venue; you can unfollow any band or venue in the app.
User-submitted gigs
If you submit a gig, Rock U! stores the details you enter (artist, venue, date, time, price, link, your name and email) and an optional flyer image. Approved gigs are shown in the app.
Venue and band claims
If you claim a venue or band page, Rock U! stores the name, email, role and message you enter, your account if you are signed in, and a one-way hash of your IP address (to limit abuse). Claims are reviewed by Bakewell Apps and are not shown publicly or shared.
Location
If you allow location, the app sends only your approximate location with the request so it can show nearby gigs and distances in miles. The server uses it only for that request and does not store it. Location is optional; the app works without it.
Feedback and screenshots
If you send feedback, Rock U! stores your message, the app version, your device model, an optional screenshot you attach, and your account if you are signed in.
Crash reports
If the app crashes, it sends a crash report with the error message and technical details, the app version, the device model, and your username if you are signed in. These are used only to fix bugs.
Push notifications
If you turn on notifications, Rock U! stores your device's push token and your notification setting so it can send gig alerts: a new gig from a band or venue you follow and, only if you opt in, a 5 PM "Tonight" digest of Las Vegas gigs. The digest does not use or store your location.
IP addresses
To stop spam and abuse, the server rate-limits crash reports, gig submissions, and address lookups by network. It stores only a one-way hash of your IP address, never the IP address itself.
No ads, no sale, no third-party sharing
Rock U! has no ads and no advertising or analytics trackers. Rock U! does not sell personal data and does not share it with third parties. Data is stored on the server that runs Rock U! (hosted on Railway) and is sent over encrypted HTTPS. If you use Google or Facebook sign-in, your sign-in is checked with that provider. Map images load from OpenStreetMap, which sees your device's IP address like any website would.
User content and safety
Gigs and usernames are user content. Rock U! has zero tolerance for objectionable content. You can report a gig or a user and block users in the app. Reports go to a review queue, and a gig with enough reports is hidden while it is reviewed. Reports you made may be kept for moderation.
Flyer scan
If you use Scan flyer when adding a gig, the app sends the image to Rock U!'s server only for that request. The server reads it in memory to draft the gig fields and does not save the flyer image to disk, the database, or object storage. Gig flyers you attach when you submit a gig are different: those are stored with the submission until you delete your account or an admin removes them.
How to delete your account
In the app, open the You tab (Account) and choose Delete account. This permanently deletes your saved gigs, check-ins, ratings and reviews, badges, follows, band ownership and pending band edits, venue and band claims, notifications, Google/Facebook sign-in links, push tokens, feedback, and sessions. It removes your email and name, retires your username, removes it from crash reports, and hides and strips the gigs you submitted (including stored flyer images). Reports you filed may be kept for moderation. The steps are also on the delete account page. You can also email info@rocku.org from the address on your account and ask for the same deletion.
Children
Rock U! is meant for adults 18 and over and is not directed at children.
