2. Information we collect
Information you give us
- Account info: email address, or the details provided by Sign in with Apple (which may be a private relay email). Display name and profile photo if you add them.
- Content you post: live posts, Memories, Drops, Quick Posts, likes, votes, and check-ins.
- Connections: people you add to your Crew or Favorites, and people you block.
- Reports and support: content you report and messages you send us.
Information collected automatically
- Precise location: used to place your posts and show you the feed within your listening radius. With your permission, location may also be used while the app is in the background to support check-ins and nearby alerts. You can change this anytime in your device settings.
- Device and diagnostics: device model, operating system version, app version, crash logs, and performance data.
- Identifiers: an account ID and a push notification token (only if you turn on notifications).
- Usage data: basic in-app activity, such as features used, to improve the Service.
Purchases
In-app purchases are processed by Apple or Google. We never receive your full payment card details. We receive a transaction record so we can deliver what you bought.
3. What other users can see
- Your display name, profile photo, and posts are visible to people within range of where you posted, and to people using Listen to browse that area.
- A post shows others that you were near that place at that time. We do not show other users your exact coordinates.
- Memories stay at a location and can be seen by future visitors until removed.
- Crew and Favorites can see your check-ins.
Think before you post. Do not share your home address or anything you want to keep private.
4. How we use information

California "notice at collection"
In the past 12 months we collected: identifiers, precise geolocation (sensitive personal information), user content, internet or device activity, and purchase records. We use them only for the purposes in Section 4. We do not sell or share personal information, and we use sensitive information only to provide the Service.
EEA, UK, and Swiss users
Our legal bases are: performing our contract with you (running the Service), legitimate interests (safety, security, improvement), consent (location and notifications, which you can withdraw), and legal obligation. Your data is processed in the United States under appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses. You may complain to your local data protection authority.
8. Children
holr is not for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn we have, we delete it. Users 13 to 17 should use holr with a parent or guardian's permission. Parents can contact us to have a child's account removed.
9. Security
We use encryption in transit, access controls, and Firebase security rules to protect your data. No system is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
