KISSNEAR

Privacy notice

What KissNear uses, why it is needed and what you can control.

This beta notice explains the current product behaviour. It will be reviewed with the final legal operator details before paid public launch.
01

Optional traffic analytics

Only after you choose Allow analytics, Google Analytics measures page visits, referral source, device information and coarse geography derived by Google from network data. It uses pseudonymous browser identifiers and cookies; no account User-ID, profile data, chat text, contact details or device GPS is sent. Page URL queries and fragments are removed, and referrers are reduced to their origin. Advertising storage and personalization remain disabled. Use Analytics settings to reject or withdraw consent at any time; the choice and analytics cookies expire after six months. Google is an additional analytics service provider.

02

Data used

Account email and authentication data; profile name, age, gender, city, introduction, interests and optional WhatsApp; avatar and profile photos; approximate location data needed for nearby discovery; conversations; basic security and service logs.

03

Purposes and visibility

Data is used to authenticate accounts, save profiles, provide nearby discovery and chat, prevent abuse and answer support requests. Exact coordinates are not displayed to other users. Public profile content is limited to the fields shown in the product.

04

Retention

Chat messages are retained for 30 days and then deleted by the service retention process. Other account data is retained while the account is active or when needed for security, disputes and legal obligations.

05

Drafts and service activity

This browser stores your drafts, failed sends and read positions for recovery, separately for each account; signing out clears this local chat cache. Daily signed-in visits and successful scans are recorded to measure service use. The latest signed-in activity time is also recorded to rank nearby profiles and display recent activity. Operators see aggregate activity counts and report handling records. These activity records do not contain chat text or precise coordinates.

06

Your choices and rights

  • Pause discovery from Profile.
  • Correct profile information in the app.
  • Request access, correction, deletion, restriction or portability through Contact.
  • Object to eligible processing and withdraw consent where consent is the legal basis.
07

Photo review

Avatars and album photos are optional. When enabled, uploaded photos are privately checked using Google Cloud Vision before publication. Rejected photos are removed and technical failures remain unpublished. Photo review does not verify identity; you can use initials or a bundled illustration instead.

08

Service providers

KissNear currently uses Supabase for authentication, database and media storage, and Vercel for application hosting. Provider and international-transfer details will be maintained in the final notice.
