Data Safety

Last updated: 11 October 2026 · Companion to our Privacy Policy

This page summarises, in plain language, what the Nearby app is designed to collect and share - mirroring the categories used in Google Play's Data Safety section, so it is easy to cross-check.

Pre-release draft. Nearby has not been released yet. This page describes how the app is designed to handle data and will be reviewed and finalised before the app is published. If anything changes - for example a new third-party service - this page will be updated first.
