Access is a private membership service operated by Seen.
What we collect
When you submit an application, we collect the information you provide, including your name, phone number, city, interests, links and application responses.
How we use it
We use this information to review applications, match people with relevant access, operate the service and communicate with you. We do not sell or rent your personal information.
Payments, bookings, and partner fulfillment
We use Stripe to process member payments and partner payouts, and keep a permanent booking record containing the commercial terms and policy shown at purchase. We share only the guest, delivery, or operational details reasonably needed by the authorized party fulfilling that booking. Private fulfillment instructions are not shown before purchase.
We use email for address verification and booking confirmation. Delivery providers receive the destination and message content needed to send those emails. Delivery events are retained to diagnose bounces and suppression; they are not used to enroll you in promotional email.
Text messages
We use your mobile phone number for verification, application updates, private Drop announcements, booking alerts, partner operations, and replies to messages you send to Access. Both application forms explain text participation before you select Send my code. We record consent after phone verification, including the disclosure version and the verified application session.
We do not share, sell, rent, or provide your mobile phone number, mobile information, text-messaging opt-in data, or messaging consent to third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes.
Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out at any time or HELP for help. Opting out pauses text communication and Drop eligibility until you reply START.
Your choices
You may request access to, correction of or deletion of your information by replying to the Access number or using the contact method provided in our messages.
Retention and security
Submitted applications and completed purchase records are retained as required to operate the membership, fulfill bookings, maintain financial records, handle disputes, and comply with law. Draft applications expire when abandoned. Access limits commercial records to server-side credentials and keeps fulfillment data available only to authorized operational roles.
Terms of Service
Access is an invite-only membership marketplace operated by Seen. These terms apply to applications, membership, bookings, payments, and use of the service. Contact support@worldbyaccess.com with a question about these terms or a booking.
Applications and membership
Submitting an application does not guarantee membership or access to an offering. Submitted applications are final, remain separate from an editable member profile, and may be reviewed using internal classifications that are not applicant-editable. Access may suspend or end membership for fraud, abuse, safety concerns, legal requirements, or a material breach of these terms.
Offers and booking information
Before confirming a purchase, you will see the price, quantity, expected guest count, date and timezone when known, provider or fulfillment responsibility, included and excluded items, material restrictions, the applicable policy, and the immediate next step. Exact addresses, contacts, codes, and other private fulfillment details may be revealed only after booking and may not be shared beyond the people attending or fulfilling that booking.
Charges, saved cards, and credits
Access is the merchant of record and charges in US dollars. The final review identifies the total charged by Access. A payment method is saved for future purchases only when you separately choose that option. Access Credits are not cash, are not transferable, and may be subject to stated eligibility or expiry rules. Provider fees or bank processing timing do not change the amount shown in your Access booking record.
Final sale and changes
Purchases are final sale except cancellation, non-delivery, a material date, location, or description change, a duplicate charge, an unauthorized charge, or rights required by law.
If Access or the provider makes a material change to the date, location, or description, Access will present the available accept-or-refund choice. Refunds return to the original payment method or restore eligible Access Credit. Bank posting times are outside Access’s control. Nothing in these terms limits rights that cannot lawfully be limited.
Guests, conduct, and transferability
You must provide the exact number of legal guest names requested, ensure every attendee satisfies age, identification, dress, venue, safety, and conduct rules, and use booking information only for fulfillment. A booking is non-transferable unless its final review expressly says otherwise. You are responsible for your guests and for losses caused by a deliberate or negligent violation of stated rules.
Cancellation, safety, and force majeure
Access may cancel or modify an offering where needed for safety, law, provider unavailability, venue restrictions, or events outside reasonable control. Access will communicate the available remedy under the displayed policy and applicable law. Members should contact Support promptly if an offering is not delivered or materially differs from the confirmed record.
Text and email choices
Phone verification, booking alerts, account security, and partner operational messages are service communications used to operate Access. Both member and partner applications disclose text participation next to the phone field. Selecting Send my code agrees to automated application updates and, if accepted, private Drop announcements. Consent is recorded after the number is verified. Message frequency varies and message and data rates may apply. The initial consent confirmation and HELP response explain how to reply STOP, START, or HELP. Transactional email includes verification and one booking confirmation. See the Privacy Notice for data-use details.
Disputes and unauthorized use
Contact Support promptly about duplicate or unauthorized charges so Access can investigate without delaying any rights you have with your card issuer. You may not use another person’s identity or payment method, bypass eligibility or inventory controls, resell private access, scrape private content, or interfere with the service.
Service availability and liability
Access will use reasonable care to operate the service and coordinate confirmed bookings, but does not promise uninterrupted availability. To the extent allowed by law, Access is not responsible for indirect or consequential loss. Any limitation does not apply where prohibited or to liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
Versions and acceptance
The version displayed during application or purchase is recorded with the account and purchase. Material changes require new acceptance before a later purchase. The permanent booking record preserves the policy and commercial terms shown when the purchase completed.
