NearTics User's App Privacy Policy

Effective Date: Jan 01, 2025

1. Commitment to Privacy

NearTics is designed with privacy-first principles, ensuring users have full control over their data while receiving relevant offers. We collect only minimal information necessary to enhance user experience while prioritizing security and transparency.

2. Data Collection

• User Information: NearTics does not collect highly sensitive personal data. The only required detail is a valid email, used for reporting invalid offers. Registration is optional, and users may skip it if preferred.
• Location Data: NearTics requires a base location to provide relevant offers and retrieves your current location upon app opening to display nearby exclusive deals. This data is used strictly to enhance user experience, not for tracking purposes.
• Vendor Information: Only government-verified vendors can join NearTics. We collect publicly available vendor details to maintain authenticity and trust.

3. Data Usage

3.1 User Control

NearTics users have full control over their data. They can manage preferences, opt-in or opt-out of features, and choose whether to register or engage anonymously.

3.2 Local Data Storage

NearTics prioritizes user control by storing most data directly on the user's mobile device, rather than external servers. This ensures maximum security and full ownership of user data, minimizing third-party exposure.

3.3 Aggregated and Anonymized Data

We may share aggregated or anonymized data with third parties for statistical analysis, research, or service improvement. This data never includes personally identifiable information.

3.4 Legal Compliance

NearTics may disclose user information when required by law or in good faith belief that such action is necessary to:

• Comply with legal obligations
• Protect NearTics’s rights or property
• Investigate potential misconduct within the platform
• Ensure user and public safety

3.5 Age & Demographic-Based Offer Visibility

Certain offers are only visible to users aged 21 and above, ensuring responsible content delivery. Additionally, NearTics respects user preferences by tailoring notifications and advertisements based on language and demographic settings, ensuring users receive only the most relevant and meaningful updates.

3.6 Third-Party Services & Advertisements

NearTics may collaborate with third-party advertising and analytics providers to improve user experience. These providers follow strict privacy guidelines, and NearTics ensures that no personally identifiable information is shared without user consent.

4. Data Security & Retention

NearTics implements industry-leading security measures to protect personal data from unauthorized access, misuse, or disclosure. While we strive for maximum security, no method of electronic storage is 100% risk-free, and users are encouraged to stay vigilant.

4.1 Data Retention

NearTics retains collected user data only for as long as necessary to provide its services. Users may request data deletion at any time by contacting our support team.

5. Your Rights

• Access & Updates: Users can access, update, or correct their personal information by contacting our support team.
• Opt-out Option: Users can opt out of marketing communications at any time via the provided instructions or by reaching out directly.
• Request Data Deletion: Users have the right to request deletion of their personal data at any time.

6. Children's Privacy

NearTics is rated Google Play (3+) and Apple App Store (4+). While the platform is designed for general audiences, certain features may require parental guidance based on individual app store recommendations. NearTics does not knowingly collect data from users who do not meet the minimum age requirement of these platforms.

7. Policy Updates

We may revise this Privacy Policy periodically. Changes will be posted with a revised effective date. We encourage users to review this policy to remain informed.
