Welcome to SeenU (“SeenU,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). We built SeenU to help people discover and connect with others nearby in real life. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Summary: We collect account details you provide (like email and phone number), device and usage information, and approximate proximity signals (e.g., Bluetooth) to enable nearby discovery features. We do not sell your personal information.
1) Information We Collect
a) Information you provide
- Account info: email address and phone number (both required at sign up), password or auth tokens.
- Profile & content: name, photo(s), status/mood, school or job, age (shown for privacy and clarity), comments you post.
- Support: messages you send us.
b) Information we get automatically
- Device & usage data: app version, device type, OS, language, time zone, crash logs, and interactions with features.
- Approximate location & proximity: Bluetooth/nearby signals and similar technologies that enable you to discover people close to you. We do not continuously track precise GPS location for this feature.
- Cookies & similar tech: on our website to keep you signed in, remember settings, and measure traffic.
c) Information from others
- Contacts and other users: if a user interacts with you or mentions you in a comment.

3) Sharing of Information
- With other users: your profile elements you choose to make public (e.g., name, photos, mood/status, school/job, age, online indicator) may be visible to users nearby.
- Service providers: we share information with vendors who help us run the app (hosting, analytics, messaging, authentication) under contracts that require them to protect it.
- Safety, legal, and rights: we may share information if required by law, to enforce our terms, or to protect anyone’s safety.

5) Data Retention
We keep your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide SeenU and comply with legal obligations. You may request deletion at any time; we may keep limited records as required by law or for legitimate business purposes (e.g., security logs).
6) Children’s Privacy
SeenU is not intended for children under 14, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. Users under 18 need a parent or legal guardian’s consent to use the service where required by law.
7) Data Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure; risks remain.
8) International Users
We are based in the United States. By using SeenU, you understand your information will be processed in the U.S. and may be transferred to other countries with different data protection laws.
9) Do Not Track
Your browser may send “Do Not Track” signals. We currently do not respond to these signals.
10) Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we’ll notify you in the app or on our website. The “Effective date” above reflects the latest version.
