Privacy Policy

Your privacy matters. This policy describes how Near Me's collects, uses and protects information. What we collect: - Account information you provide when you sign up (such as your name and email). - Listing content and photos you post, and messages you send through the platform. - Technical and security records: your IP address, browser/device details and the time of your visit, captured when you register, sign in or search. These records support fraud prevention, moderation and legal compliance. - Aggregate usage analytics (for example, searches performed and listings posted) that help us understand how the platform is used. How we use it: - To operate the marketplace: showing your listings, delivering messages and notifications. - To keep the platform safe: spam and fraud prevention, moderation, audit records, and cooperation with law enforcement where required. - To improve the service using aggregate analytics. Cookies and similar technologies: - We use cookies, local storage and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember your preferences (such as your location and search filters), keep the site secure, and measure aggregate usage. You can manage cookies in your browser settings at any time; essential cookies are required for the site to function. What we do NOT do: - We do not publicly display your private email or phone number unless you explicitly choose to show a phone number on a listing. - We do not sell your personal information. - Internal risk scores and moderation data are visible only to authorized administrators. Your controls: - You control whether your phone number appears on listings, and which notifications and email alerts you receive — adjust them anytime in your account and alert settings. - You can delete your listings, saved searches, city follows and favorites at any time. - To request a copy of your data or delete your account, contact us through the app. Email communications: - We send transactional emails (such as verification codes) as needed to operate your account. Optional alerts and digests are sent only while enabled in your preferences, and every alert email includes a way to opt out. Contact and legal notices: - Email: support@nearmes.org - Copyright complaints: see our DMCA policy. We may update this policy; material changes are announced in the app.
