Privacy Policy

Where Are You Now? · Last updated June 2026

Where Are You Now? (“the app”) helps you see which country your invited friends are in. We designed it to collect as little data as possible.

What we collect

• Name — the display name you choose at sign-up.
• Country and time zone — derived from your device location about once per day. We store your country, not your precise GPS coordinates.
• Passkey credential — a cryptographic key stored on your device and a matching public key on our servers so you can sign in without a password.
• Country history — when your country changes, we keep a log of past countries so friends can see your travel history.

What we do not collect

• No email address, phone number, or postal address.
• No precise location (street, building, or coordinates).
• No advertising identifiers or tracking across other apps.

Who can see your data

Only people you connect with via an invite link can see your name, country, time zone, and country history. We do not sell your data.

Location

The app requests location permission to determine your country. Location is checked periodically in the background (about once per day). You can revoke permission in your device settings; the app will stop updating your country.

Data storage

Data is stored in Google Firebase (Firestore) in the United States. Connections use encrypted HTTPS.

Deleting your data

Sign out and delete the app from your device. To request full account deletion, contact us at the address below.

Children

The app is not directed at children under 13.
