WITH LOGIN PROVIDERS

When a user chooses to sign in with Google, the data needed for login is also processed according to Google's policies.

BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS

In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or transfer of assets, personal data may be transferred provided that the processing remains protected by equivalent terms.

  1. LOCATION, PRESENCE, AND SOCIAL PRIVACY

Location-based features are central to the NiteSeek experience, but they depend on user permission.

Location may be used to sort results by proximity, show nearby venues, calculate distances, and update presence or check-in status when the user is within the configured radius of a venue.

Users may adjust preferences such as showing online status, showing last venue, allowing friend suggestions, displaying social profiles, and sharing location according to the options available in the app.

If location permissions are disabled in iOS, proximity-based features may not work correctly.

  1. PHOTOS, CONTENT, AND PUBLIC DATA

Photos, images, descriptions, venue names, events, addresses, contact details, and other content submitted to NiteSeek may be displayed in the app when related to public or shared features.

Users should only upload content they have the right to use and that does not violate the privacy, image, or rights of third parties.

  1. COOKIES, SDKs, AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES

In the mobile app, we may use technical identifiers, authentication tokens, local storage, error logs, and SDKs required for login, maps, security, notifications, diagnostics, and service operation.

On web pages associated with NiteSeek, cookies or similar technologies may be used for security, sessions, preferences, measurement, and experience improvements.

  1. LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING

Where applicable law requires a legal basis, we process personal data based on one or more of the following grounds:

• Performance of a contract or pre-contractual steps.

• Consent.

• Legitimate interests.

• Compliance with legal or regulatory obligations.

• Regular exercise of rights.

• Protection of the safety of users, the app, and third parties.

  1. RETENTION AND DELETION

We keep personal data for as long as necessary to operate the account, provide app features, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent abuse, and protect our rights.

When data is no longer needed, we may delete it, anonymize it, or aggregate it so that it no longer identifies the user.

Users may request access, correction, or deletion of data through the contact listed in this policy.

Some information may be retained for an additional period when necessary for legal compliance, security, auditing, fraud prevention, or preservation of rights.

  1. SECURITY

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, alteration, improper disclosure, and misuse.

These measures include access controls, authentication, protected passwords, technical monitoring, security logs, and infrastructure best practices.

No system is completely risk-free.

Users should also protect their devices, passwords, verification codes, and access to the email or phone number used for their account.

  1. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

Infrastructure, authentication, maps, email, diagnostics, or storage providers may operate in other countries.

When international data transfers occur, we seek to use appropriate protection mechanisms, contracts with trusted providers, and measures compatible with applicable law.
