Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Gumoreh ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you use our mobile application, website, and related services (the "Service"). By using Gumoreh, you agree to the practices described here.

1. Information we collect

Account information

Phone number — used to create and sign in to your account via SMS one-time password (OTP).
Email address — if you sign up with email and password, or sign in with Google. If you sign up with a phone number only, we generate an internal placeholder address for your account and never contact you at it.
Profile details — display name, username, date of birth, optional bio, and optional profile photo and banner that you choose to provide.
Password — if you set one, it is stored as a salted hash. We never see or store your plain-text password.

Content you create

Short videos ("vibes"), photos, captions, likes, comments, and places you save or register.
Direct messages you send through in-app chat, including any vibes or places you share inside a conversation.

Location

With your permission, we use your device location to show nearby places, position you on the map, and surface trending spots around you. You can revoke this permission at any time in your device settings.
Check-ins and posting — when you check in to a place or post a vibe, we compare your current location against that place to confirm you are actually there, and we record that you visited it. Your check-in history is visible to you and to our administrators, and contributes to a place's popularity.
We do not continuously track your location in the background and we do not sell your location data.

Device and usage information

Device model, operating system version, app version, language, and approximate region — used to keep the app stable and to diagnose issues.
Push notification tokens, if you enable push, so we can deliver chat alerts to your device.
Product analytics — the screens and pages you open and key actions you take (signing in, posting a vibe, registering a place, checking in, submitting an ownership claim), together with the platform you used and when. If you are signed in, these events are linked to your account.

2. How we use your information

Create and secure your account.
Show you places, vibes, and people relevant to where you are.
Deliver messages and notifications you ask for.
Prevent abuse, spam, fraud, and violations of our Terms.
Improve the Service — fix bugs, measure performance, and plan new features. We review analytics in aggregate for this; our administrators can also see an individual account's activity when investigating abuse or a support request.
Comply with legal obligations and respond to lawful requests.

3. How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only in these limited cases:

With other users — your public profile, vibes, and places are visible to other users of Gumoreh by design. Direct messages are visible only to you and the person you message.
With service providers — we rely on trusted infrastructure partners who process data on our behalf under contractual confidentiality and security obligations: Neon (managed PostgreSQL database), Cloudflare R2 (photo and video storage), Google Cloud Run (website and API hosting), and Google (Sign-In and Maps, where you choose to use them).
For legal reasons — if required by law or to protect the safety, rights, or property of Gumoreh, our users, or the public.
In a business transfer — if Gumoreh is involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you before your information becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

4. Data retention

We keep your account information for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we remove your profile and the content tied to it within a reasonable period, except where we are legally required to retain certain records (for example, anti-abuse logs or tax records) or where content has already been shared with other users in a way we cannot unilaterally revoke.

5. Your choices and rights

Access and update — you can view and edit your profile, username, bio, and photo at any time in the app or on the web.
Delete your account — you can request deletion of your account and associated content from Settings → Delete account in the app, or by emailing support@gumoreh.com.
Permissions — you can enable or disable location, camera, microphone, photo library, and notifications in your device settings at any time.
Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under laws such as the GDPR or the CCPA, including the right to access, correct, port, or restrict processing of your personal data. Contact us to exercise any of these rights.

6. Children

Gumoreh is not intended for children under the age of 13 (or the minimum age required in your country for a social service). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us so we can delete it.

7. Security

We use industry-standard safeguards — including encrypted transport (HTTPS/TLS), server-side password hashing, and authenticated backend access — to protect your information. No system is perfectly secure, but we work continuously to reduce risk.

8. International users

Your information may be processed and stored in countries other than your own, including the United States and the European Union, where our service providers operate. By using the Service, you consent to such transfers.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date above and, for material changes, provide an in-app notice. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect means you accept the updated policy.
