Privacy policy
Peekaroo lets you share your location with friends you both agreed on. This page explains what we store and why.
What we collect
- The account identifier from Sign in with Apple or Google, and your email if the provider gives it to us.
- Your username, display name and profile photo.
- Your precise location, its accuracy, your battery level and whether you are moving, while sharing is on.
- Your device's push notification token.
Who sees your location
Only people you have accepted as friends, and only in the way your hide mode allows. Nobody else can see it, including Peekaroo administrators. Location is never sold or used for advertising or tracking.
Maps and routes
The Map and Satellite views come from Apple Maps; the 3D view comes from Mapbox. To draw a map, your phone asks the map provider for the area on your screen, as any map app does: the provider sees that area and your device's IP address, not who you are or where your friends are. Mapbox's usage statistics are switched off in Peekaroo.
When you ask for a route to a friend, our server asks Mapbox for it with two points only, where you are and where your friend is, and no account, name or device identifier. The route and the points are not stored.
Messages from Peekaroo
We may send you news and important announcements. You can turn them off in Settings, Notifications, Messages from Peekaroo. Warnings from our moderators are always delivered.
How long we keep it
- Your latest position is kept until it is replaced or you delete your account.
- Individual location points are deleted automatically after 24 hours.
- Logs of friend requests used against spam are deleted after 24 hours.
- When you use hide mode, the period and the position you had before it are kept for 7 days, so points recorded while hidden are never shown later.
- If someone reported your account and you delete it, the report keeps only its text and a one-way fingerprint of your sign-in account, so a banned person cannot simply return. These are deleted after 90 days.
Deleting your data
You can delete your account at any time in the app (Settings, Delete account). Your profile, friends, locations and photo are erased immediately.
Where it is stored
On our server in Russia.
