隱私權政策
最後更新：2026 年 10 月 18 日
NearbyNow 由 Kadrew J. Lai 提供，本政策中的「本 App」指 NearbyNow，「我們」指 Kadrew J. Lai。本政策說明我們收集哪些資料、為什麼收集、怎麼使用、和誰分享，以及你可以怎麼管理自己的資料。使用本 App，代表你了解本政策的內容。
1. 我們收集的資料
你提供的資料
- 帳號資料：email、密碼（只以加密雜湊方式保存，我們看不到原始密碼）、暱稱、使用者 ID、大頭照、是否為私密帳號。使用 Apple 或 Google 登入時，我們只取得該服務提供的 email（Apple 可能提供隱藏的轉寄 email），不會取得你的 Apple 或 Google 密碼。
- 你發佈的內容：圖釘（標題、描述、分類、表情符號、照片或影片、位置）、留言及留言中的照片影片、對圖釘和留言的反應。
- 私訊：你和其他使用者之間的訊息、照片與影片。
- 互動紀錄：追蹤、追蹤請求、封鎖、收藏、足跡（你按過讚的圖釘）、訊息靜音設定。
- 檢舉：你檢舉的內容或帳號、檢舉原因及你填寫的說明。
- 商家認證資料（僅申請商家認證時）：商家名稱、類別、地址、位置、電話、網站、營業時間、證明照片（僅管理員可見）、公開的店家照片，以及你投放的廣告內容。
- 意見回饋：你寄給我們的 email 內容。
使用本 App 時自動產生的資料
- 位置：
- 你的精確位置只在手機上使用，用來把地圖移到你所在的地方、計算附近的內容。
- 為了寄送「附近發生的事」的推播，App 在你開啟時會把四捨五入到約 100 公尺的大略位置傳到伺服器，並記錄更新時間。超過 3 天未更新的位置不會用來寄送附近推播。
- 你發佈的圖釘會帶有你放置它的位置，並依位置判斷所在國家。
- 本 App 不在背景持續追蹤你的位置。
- 推播：裝置的推播識別碼（由 Apple 提供）、你的通知設定與 App 語言。
- 裝置識別碼：檢舉圖釘時，會附上一組本 App 專用的裝置識別碼，只用來防止同一支手機重複檢舉。
- 訂閱狀態：你在 App 內訂閱 NearbyNow Pro 或商家方案時，付款完全由 Apple 處理，我們不會取得你的信用卡資料；我們只保存 Apple 簽署的交易資訊（方案、到期日、是否自動續訂、交易編號），用來判斷你的訂閱是否有效。
- 商家數據：商家圖釘和廣告被開啟、點擊的每日總次數。這些統計不會記錄是誰點的。
我們不使用第三方廣告追蹤或分析工具，不追蹤你在其他 App 或網站的行為，也不出售你的個人資料。
2. 哪些內容是公開的
- 你的暱稱、使用者 ID、大頭照，以及你發佈的圖釘、留言和反應，其他使用者都看得到。
- 圖釘的位置會顯示在地圖上。發佈前請想清楚：在住家、學校或工作地點放圖釘，可能讓別人知道你常出現的地方。
- 設為「私密帳號」時，只有你同意的追蹤者看得到你的圖釘；你的暱稱、ID 和大頭照仍可被搜尋到。
- 私訊只有對話雙方看得到。
- 商家的店名、類別、地址、電話、網站、營業時間和店家照片是公開的；商家廣告會標示「贊助」。
3. 資料的用途
- 提供本 App 的功能：登入、地圖、發佈與互動、私訊、推播、訂閱、商家與廣告。
- 顯示和你相關的內容：依距離、熱門程度、你選的分類和 App 語言排列內容；依你的大略位置決定顯示哪些附近商家廣告。
- 安全與內容管理：處理檢舉、審核內容、凍結違規帳號、防止濫用。
- 寄送與帳號有關的 email（例如驗證碼、重設密碼）。
- 回覆你的詢問與意見回饋。
4. 和誰分享
我們只在提供服務必要的範圍內，把資料交給下列服務商處理：
除此之外，只有在法律要求、或為了保護使用者與他人的安全時，我們才會提供資料給主管機關。
5. 保存期間與刪除帳號
- 圖釘到期後會從地圖消失，但資料仍會保存，讓你在「足跡」「收藏」和「熱門地區」中找到；人氣極高的圖釘會成為「典藏」，永久留在地圖上。
- 刪除帳號：在 App 的「設定 > 帳號管理中心 > 刪除帳號」即可刪除。刪除後：
- 你的個人資料、大頭照、追蹤與封鎖關係、反應、收藏、足跡、檢舉紀錄、通知、推播識別碼、大略位置與訂閱紀錄會被刪除。
- 你發佈過的圖釘和留言會保留，但作者會顯示為「帳號已刪除」，不再和你連結。
- 你傳給別人的私訊會留在對方的對話中，寄件人顯示為已刪除的帳號。
- 已上傳的照片與影片檔案目前不會立即刪除。
- 使用 Apple 登入的帳號，刪除時會一併撤銷本 App 的 Apple 登入授權。
- 刪除帳號不會取消 Apple 的訂閱扣款，請到 iPhone 的「設定 > Apple 帳號 > 訂閱項目」取消。
- 刪除自己的圖釘和留言：打開自己的圖釘按垃圾桶、在「發佈過的圖釘」往左滑，或長按自己的留言。刪除後其他人就看不到；已經有人回覆的留言會顯示「此留言已刪除」。為了處理檢舉，被刪除的內容會保留一份只有管理員看得到的紀錄，照片與影片檔案也不會立即刪除。
- 想刪除特定內容或檔案，可以寫信給我們（見下方）。
6. 你的權利
依台灣《個人資料保護法》及你所在地區的法律（例如歐盟 GDPR），你可以向我們請求查詢、閱覽、取得副本、更正、停止蒐集處理利用，或刪除你的個人資料。大部分資料可以直接在 App 裡修改或刪除；其他請求請寫信到 [email protected]，我們會在確認你的身分後儘快處理。你也可以隨時在 iPhone 設定中關閉本 App 的定位或通知權限。
7. 資料安全與存放地點
資料存放在 Supabase 位於日本東京的伺服器，透過加密連線傳輸。資料庫以權限規則限制每個人只能讀寫自己被允許的資料；私訊的照片與影片存放在不公開的空間，只有對話雙方能取得。沒有任何系統能保證百分之百安全，但我們會持續採取合理的保護措施。
8. 兒童
本 App 不適合未滿13歲的兒童使用，我們也不會在知情的情況下收集兒童的個人資料。如果你發現兒童提供了個人資料給我們，請聯絡我們刪除。

Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 18, 2026
NearbyNow (the "App") is provided by Kadrew J. Lai ("we", "us"). This policy explains what we collect, why, how we use it, who we share it with, and how you can manage your data. By using the App you acknowledge this policy.
1. Information we collect
Information you provide
- Account: email, password (stored only as a secure hash — we never see it), nickname, user ID, profile photo, and whether your account is private. With Sign in with Apple or Google we receive only the email that service provides (Apple may give a private relay address); we never receive your Apple or Google password.
- What you post: pins (title, description, category, emoji, photos or video, location), comments and their photos or videos, and your reactions.
- Messages: messages, photos and videos you exchange with other users.
- Activity: follows, follow requests, blocks, saved pins, footprints (pins you reacted to), and muted conversations.
- Reports: the content or account you report, the reason and any note you add.
- Merchant verification (only if you apply): business name, category, address, location, phone, website, opening hours, a proof photo (seen only by our administrators), public shop photos, and the ads you run.
- Feedback: the emails you send us.
Information created when you use the App
- Location:
- Your precise location is used on your phone only — to center the map on you and work out what is nearby.
- To send "something is happening near you" notifications, when you open the App it sends your location rounded to about 100 m to our server, with the time. A location older than 3 days is not used for nearby notifications.
- Pins you post carry the location where you placed them, which is also used to determine the country.
- The App does not track your location in the background.
- Notifications: your device's push token (provided by Apple), your notification settings and App language.
- Device identifier: when you report a pin, an App-specific device identifier is attached, used only to stop one phone from reporting the same pin repeatedly.
- Subscriptions: payments for NearbyNow Pro and merchant plans are handled entirely by Apple — we never receive your card details. We keep only Apple-signed transaction information (plan, expiry, auto-renew status, transaction ID) to know whether your subscription is active.
- Merchant statistics: daily totals of how often a shop pin or ad was opened or tapped. They do not record who tapped.
We do not use third-party advertising trackers or analytics, do not track you across other apps or websites, and do not sell your personal information.
2. What is public
- Your nickname, user ID and profile photo, and the pins, comments and reactions you post, are visible to other users.
- A pin's location is shown on the map. Think before you post: pins at your home, school or workplace may reveal where you often are.
- With a private account, only followers you approve can see your pins; your nickname, ID and profile photo can still be found in search.
- Messages are visible only to the two people in the conversation.
- A merchant's shop name, category, address, phone, website, hours and shop photos are public; merchant ads are labelled "Sponsored".
3. How we use it
- To run the App: sign-in, the map, posting and interactions, messages, notifications, subscriptions, merchants and ads.
- To show relevant content: ordering by distance, popularity, the categories you chose and your App language; choosing which nearby merchant ads to show from your approximate location.
- Safety and moderation: handling reports, reviewing content, freezing accounts that break the rules, preventing abuse.
- Sending account emails (such as verification codes and password resets).
- Answering your questions and feedback.
4. Who we share it with
We share data with these service providers only as needed to run the App:
Otherwise we disclose data to authorities only when required by law or to protect the safety of users and others.
5. Retention and deleting your account
- When a pin's time runs out it leaves the map, but it is kept so you can find it in Footprints, Saved and Trending; very popular pins become "Archived" and stay on the map permanently.
- Deleting your account: Settings > Account Center > Delete Account in the App. After deletion:
- Your profile, profile photo, follows and blocks, reactions, saved pins, footprints, reports, notifications, push tokens, approximate location and subscription records are deleted.
- Pins and comments you posted remain, shown as from a "Deleted account" and no longer linked to you.
- Messages you sent stay in the other person's conversation, from a deleted account.
- Uploaded photo and video files are not deleted immediately at this time.
- For Sign in with Apple accounts, the App's Apple sign-in authorization is revoked.
- Deleting your account does not cancel an Apple subscription — cancel it in iPhone Settings > Apple Account > Subscriptions.
- Deleting your own pins and comments: open your pin and tap the trash button, swipe left in "Posted pins", or long-press your comment. Others can no longer see it; a comment that already has replies shows as "Comment deleted". To handle reports, a copy of deleted content is kept that only administrators can see, and photo and video files are not deleted right away.
- To have specific content or files removed, email us (below).
6. Your rights
Under Taiwan's Personal Data Protection Act and the law where you live (for example the EU GDPR), you may ask us to access, obtain a copy of, correct, stop processing, or delete your personal data. Most data can be changed or deleted directly in the App; for anything else email [email protected] and we will respond after verifying your identity. You can turn off the App's location or notification permission in iPhone Settings at any time.
7. Security and where data is stored
Data is stored on Supabase servers in Tokyo, Japan, and sent over encrypted connections. Database access rules let each person read and write only what they are allowed to; photos and videos in messages are kept in non-public storage that only the two people in the conversation can access. No system is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable measures to protect your data.
8. Children
The App is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child has given us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
9. Changes and contact
When this policy changes we update the date at the top; significant changes are announced in the App. Questions about this policy:
