Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 1, 2026

nowucme ("the app") lets you share your live location with people you choose. This policy explains what we collect and why.

What we collect

• Precise location (latitude and longitude), only while you have turned sharing on. This includes while the app is in the background.
• An anonymous user ID created automatically when you first open the app (Firebase Anonymous Authentication). It is not linked to your name, email, phone number or contacts.
• Timestamps: when your location was last updated and when your sharing ends.
• Friend IDs and nicknames you add by opening a link or typing a name. These are stored on your device only.
• An optional name you type for yourself. It is placed inside the link you send (not stored on our servers) so your friend can see who shared it. You can leave it blank.

We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, contacts, photos, advertising identifier or browsing activity. The app contains no advertising and no analytics or tracking SDKs.

How we use it

Your location is used only to show it on the map of the people who have your link, for the time you chose. Nothing else. Estimated travel times and directions are calculated on your device with Apple Maps.

Who can see it

Anyone who has your share link can see your location while sharing is on. Share the link only with people you trust. We do not sell your data, and we do not share it with advertisers or data brokers.

Where it is stored

Location data is stored in Google Firebase Realtime Database (Google LLC), in the europe-west1 (Belgium) region. Google processes it on our behalf under its Firebase privacy terms. As with any internet service, Google may process technical data such as your IP address to deliver the connection. Maps are provided by Apple Maps. In-app purchases are handled by Apple; we never see your payment details.

How long we keep it

• When you tap Stop sharing, your location is deleted from our servers immediately.
• When a timed share ends, friends' apps stop showing you right away, and the stored location is removed the next time the app runs.
• Location is overwritten with each update, so we keep only your latest position, not a history.

Your choices

• You can stop sharing at any time in the app, or turn off location access in iOS Settings.
• You can delete your data by emailing us. We will remove the data tied to your anonymous ID.
• Uninstalling the app removes the data stored on your device.

Children

nowucme is designed for parents and families to share locations openly with each other. It is not marketed to children, and it has no advertising, no tracking and no social features beyond the links people choose to send. Sharing is always visible to the person sharing, who can see the time left and stop at any moment. If a child under 13 uses the app, a parent or guardian should set it up and agree to this policy. A parent can ask us to delete the data tied to a child's anonymous ID at any time by emailing us.

Changes

If this policy changes we will update the date above and, for material changes, notify you in the app.
