Effective July 17, 2026
Nearby does not collect, store, or share any personal data. There are no accounts, no servers, and no tracking. This page explains what that means in practice.
Nearby has no servers and requires no account, phone number, or email address. We have no way to see who you are, who you talk to, or what you say — none of it ever reaches us.
Messages and photos travel directly between phones over Bluetooth and peer-to-peer Wi-Fi. They are stored only on your device and the devices of the people you chat with. Deleting the app deletes your chats.
The name and emoji you pick are stored on your device and shared only with people in range when your status is set to visible. You can go invisible at any time.
Nearby asks for a few iOS permissions, used solely to make the app work:
None of these are used for tracking or location. Nearby never accesses your GPS location, contacts, or files.
Nearby contains no analytics, no advertising SDKs, and no third-party services of any kind.
Because Nearby collects no data from anyone, it collects no data from children either.
If this policy ever changes, we will update this page and the effective date above.
