The app

Scenester doesn't have accounts and doesn't track you. Your saved shows, followed venues, artists, genres and settings stay on your iPhone.

• Music libraries. If you import from Apple Music or Spotify, Scenester reads the artist names in your library on your phone to match them with shows. For Spotify, a read-only access key is kept in your phone's keychain so the app can check for new artists about once a week; you can disconnect it anytime on the You page. Artist names aren't sent to us.
• New show alerts are worked out on your phone and delivered as local notifications.
• Suggestions and feedback you send from the app go to Scenester through Apple's iCloud, including any email address you choose to add and the app and iOS version, so we can follow up.
• Listings are downloaded from our public listings feed; this works like visiting any website.

This website

When a venue uses the List your venue form, we keep what's entered (venue details and the contact's name, email and role) to verify the venue, add its shows and get in touch about the listing. We send confirmation emails through Resend. Cloudflare Turnstile checks that form senders aren't bots. We don't sell or share this information.
