Here Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 12, 2026

Here is an adults-only location-based social app. It lets people discover what is happening nearby, share posts, find people to join an activity, offer help or services, send waves, add friends, chat, receive activity notifications, discover city users, subscribe to City benefits, interact with merchants, and pay for offer-related orders.

1. Age Requirement

Here is intended for users who are 18 years of age or older. The app asks users to confirm that they are at least 18 before accessing social and business features. We store the confirmation status and timestamp so the service can enforce this requirement.

2. Information We Collect

Depending on how you use Here, we may collect and process the following information:

3. How We Use Information

We use information to:

4. Location and Visibility Controls

Location is central to Here. We use it to calculate distance, show nearby posts and people, update city discovery, and decide whether content should appear within a configured radius. You can adjust discovery radius and location sharing in privacy settings. If location sharing is disabled, your own posts may remain visible to you while being excluded from public nearby discovery, according to the app's current behavior.

5. User Content, Messages, and Safety

Posts, comments, profile content, merchant content, uploaded media, friend interactions, and messages are processed so they can be shown to intended recipients or relevant nearby users. Reports and safety-related records may be reviewed to enforce our rules, remove content, restrict accounts, preserve evidence, or respond to lawful requests.

6. Payments, Subscriptions, and Orders

Google Play processes subscription purchases. PayPal processes offer-related payments. Here stores the records needed to validate subscriptions, create and capture orders, display order status, maintain merchant and promotion records, provide support, prevent fraud, and meet accounting or legal obligations. We do not store full payment card numbers.

7. Advertising and Mediation Partners

Here may show ads through Google AdMob. AdMob may use mediation partners configured for the app, including Unity Ads and Pangle. These partners may receive device, app, ad request, diagnostic, and measurement data needed to load, show, measure, and protect ads. Ad availability, test mode, mediation groups, and partner configuration are controlled through the app's release configuration and the AdMob dashboard.

8. When We Share Information

We may share information in these situations:

9. Retention

We keep information for as long as needed to provide the service, maintain account and safety records, support orders and subscriptions, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, and enforce our terms. Some content may be deleted or hidden from the app while retained in backups, logs, moderation records, or transaction records for a limited period where necessary.

10. Your Choices

11. Security

We use technical and organizational measures designed to protect user information, including authenticated API access, token storage protections on Android, server-side permission checks, and moderation controls. No internet service can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

12. International Processing

Your information may be processed in countries or regions where Here, our infrastructure providers, payment providers, advertising partners, or other service providers operate. Data protection rules may differ from those in your location.

13. Children

Here is not intended for children or teenagers under 18. If we learn that an under-18 user has created an account or accessed social features, we may restrict or remove the account and related content.

14. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as Here changes. The updated version will be posted at the public privacy URL used by the app and app store listing.

15. Contact

For privacy, safety, account, or data requests, use the Support or safety reporting entry available in the app. Production deployments should keep this page and the child-safety standards page reachable from the URLs submitted to Google Play and other app stores.
