Effective date: June 15, 2026
NearbyGrid ("NearbyGrid," "we," "us") operates the NearbyGrid service and the "Grid — Meet Nearby" mobile app and website (the "Service"). NearbyGrid is operated from the United States; by using the Service your information is transmitted to and processed in the United States.
The Service is for adults only. You must be 18 years or older (or the age of majority where you live, if higher). We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.
Required to create an account: email and/or phone; date of birth (age validation); where required by law or for safety, age assurance via video selfie and/or government photo ID processed by a third-party provider (e.g., FaceTec), involving biometric processing solely to confirm age/identity (raw selfie not retained beyond verification).
Profile information (optional; PUBLIC where shown): display name, photos, bio; gender(s), pronouns, sexual orientation; body type, height/weight, role/position preferences, interests/lifestyle tags, activity tags, availability, hosting/logistics, relationship intent. Optional anatomy/body fields are opt-in and individually shown or hidden by you; we never infer anatomy from your gender. Couples/linked accounts: linking requires each member's explicit, revocable consent.
Sensitive information (only if you choose): self-reported sexual-health information, precise location, and information revealing sexual orientation. Health fields are not searchable/filterable by other users.
Automatically collected: location/distance; message content and media; device/technical data; cookies and SDKs (web).
From third parties: payment/subscription processors (Apple, Google, RevenueCat), analytics/crash providers (Firebase, Sentry), age-assurance and content-moderation providers, authentication partners.
To provide and personalize the Service and support; power the map, discovery, presence, chat, and private albums; safety, trust, and moderation (automated image/text scanning, human review, fraud/bot detection, age assurance, enforcement); process subscriptions; improve the Service, analytics, and crash diagnosis; comply with law and protect users. We do not use sexual-health information for advertising or to train AI/ML, and never sell it.
The Service shows approximate, obfuscated location only. Your true coordinates are stored securely and are never sent to other users; the app emits only coarsened coordinates and rounded distances, and you control your distance-precision setting. You can reduce precision, hide distance, go invisible, or disable location at any time.
Public surfaces (profile photos, bio, bubble) must be non-explicit (SFW); images must be of you. In private albums and chats you may share nude images of yourself only through consensual, grant-based access; you approve each viewer and can revoke access at any time. Sharing images of another person requires their explicit, enthusiastic consent. Album access is always free — content is never sold, and we never charge to unlock a specific person's images.
With other users: your public profile and content you choose to share. Service providers (processors): cloud hosting and CDN; RevenueCat (subscriptions); Firebase (analytics); Sentry (crash/error monitoring); content-moderation vendors (e.g., Hive/Spectrum); age-assurance vendors (e.g., FaceTec); Apple/Google (in-app purchases). Legal and safety and business transfers as needed. We do not sell or share sensitive personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising; sexual-health information is shared only with necessary providers, never advertisers.
NearbyGrid is adults-only. Suspected accounts of minors are removed immediately. We have zero tolerance for child sexual abuse material (CSAM); we use detection tooling, remove such content, terminate offending accounts, and report to NCMEC and law enforcement as required.
Consistent with the U.S. TAKE IT DOWN Act, any identifiable individual (or authorized representative) may request removal of nonconsensual intimate visual depictions, including AI-generated "deepfakes." Upon a complete, valid request we will remove or disable access within 48 hours and make reasonable efforts to remove known identical copies. Submit requests to [email protected].
We keep information only as long as necessary. On account deletion, your profile is generally deleted within ~28 days (we may retain limited data longer for safety, fraud/security, or legal obligations). Limited device/log identifiers may be retained up to 2 years. Inactive accounts may be deleted after 2 years.
You can access, correct, or delete your profile and delete your account in the app. Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access/portability, correction, deletion, opt out of "sale"/"sharing"/targeted advertising, and limit use of sensitive personal information. California (CCPA/CPRA): rights to know, delete, correct, opt out; we do not sell/share sensitive PI for cross-context advertising. Washington "My Health My Data" / Nevada: consumer-health-data rights. Colorado and other states: corresponding rights. Contact [email protected]; you may appeal by replying to our response.
We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the data. No method is 100% secure; the Service is provided on an "as-is" basis with respect to security.
We use first- and third-party cookies, SDKs, and similar technologies for authentication, analytics, and (with consent) advertising. Manage preferences via in-app controls, browser settings, and recognized opt-out signals (e.g., Global Privacy Control). Mobile users can use iOS App Tracking Transparency and Android ad-settings controls.
The Service is not directed to and may not be used by anyone under 18. If we learn we collected information from someone under 18, we delete it and terminate the account.
The Service is operated from the United States and, at launch, intended for users in the United States. If you access it from elsewhere, you consent to processing in the US.
We may update this Policy; we will revise the effective date and, for material changes, provide additional notice. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
