Everything you might want to know about how Vibors works — for people who use it, brands who partner with it, and the privacy that protects everyone.

What is Vibors?+

Vibors is an influence intelligence layer built on real-world behavior. It turns where you go, how often, and what you do into a verified score and tier — used to unlock perks, discover venues, and connect with people who share your orbit.

How is Vibors different from a loyalty app?+

Loyalty apps reward what you spend. Vibors recognizes who you are. It's automatic — no swiping, no points, no scanning. Your tier is your wallet, and it works across our entire partner network.

When does Vibors launch?+

V1.0 Beta is rolling out in Q2 2026. Waitlist members get early access by neighborhood as we expand the venue network. Sign up at any time — your spot in the queue is recorded.

Where is Vibors available?+

Launching first in Dubai, then Riyadh and Abu Dhabi within 2026. Cairo, Doha, and Beirut targeted for 2027. The app works wherever there are partner venues — venues that aren't part of the network simply don't appear on the Map.

Do I need a special device?+

No — any iPhone or Android. Bluetooth needs to be enabled for auto check-in. The app uses minimal battery (less than 1% per day in normal use) because it only listens for venue-specific signals.

Is Vibors free?+

Yes. Vibors is free for users — always. We don't sell premium tiers or paid status. Brands and venues pay to participate; users never do.

How does my score change?+

Your score (300–1000) is updated daily based on four metrics: venue diversity (40%), brand loyalty (25%), social network depth (20%), and lifestyle category reach (15%). Consistency matters more than volume — going to your favorite café 3× a week beats hopping new venues every day.

What if I take a break?+

Your score has gentle decay built in — about 2% per inactive month — but it's fully reversible. The moment you re-engage, points come back fast. Life happens. We're not punishing it.

Can I see my friends' tiers?+

No. Tier visibility is private. Your circle sees overlap (you visit similar venues, share rhythms), but exact scores and tiers are only seen by you.

Can I game the system?+

The model is designed to resist gaming. Random hopping doesn't beat real consistency. Bot patterns get filtered. Buying check-ins is impossible — every signal is verified at the venue beacon. The only real way to climb is to live it.

How long does onboarding take?+

One week, end to end: apply (Day 0), verification visit (Day 2–3), configuration (Day 4–5), live (Day 7). No POS integration required. We install one beacon at the door.

Do I need any tech setup?+

No. The beacon is battery-powered (lasts ~2 years). Optional: an iPad-style tablet for staff to see incoming guest tiers — discreet and hospitality-first.

What can I do with the dashboard?+

See verified visit counts, tier mix, repeat rate, vibe match, neighborhood density, and trends over time. Schedule perk distribution, brand drops, and tier-gated activations. All in real time.

How much does it cost?+

Three tiers: Local Venue ($240/mo), Network ($1,400/mo for up to 12 venues), and Enterprise (custom). All plans include the dashboard, perk distribution, and Map presence. See brands.html for the full breakdown.

Can I see individual user data?+

Never. Brands access aggregated, anonymized segments only — tier mix, vibe profile, neighborhood density, repeat rate. Vibors is a privacy wall between venue and user, in both directions.

What data does Vibors collect?+

Verified check-ins (which beacon, which time), basic device hash, and your derived score & tier. No GPS history. No background location tracking. No contacts. No photos. No purchase history unless you opt in to a partner program.

Who can see where I've been?+

Only you. Your circle sees venue-level overlap (e.g. "3 of your tribe were at Sound Bar tonight") — never your individual stops. Brands see aggregate signals at their venue, never tied to identity. Vibors employees can't query individual histories.

Can I delete my data?+

Yes. One tap in settings wipes your check-ins, score, circles, and any aggregate signals tied to you. Done. Forever.

Is my data sold?+

No. We don't sell user data. Ever. Brands pay for aggregated dashboards and perk distribution — not for your file. There is no user file to sell.

Where is my data stored?+

In encrypted, region-resident infrastructure (UAE for our launch market). Data at rest is encrypted with AES-256; in transit with TLS 1.3. We follow GDPR-equivalent protections regardless of jurisdiction.
