In this policy, “Boredom,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the legal operator of the platform.

This policy applies to the Boredom mobile apps, website, authentication flows, profiles, activities, friend connections, chats, notifications, and support interactions.

Third-party websites or services linked from Boredom have their own privacy policies and are not covered by this document.

Boredom may automatically collect:

• Device type, operating system, app version, and language
• IP address, approximate region, time zone, and session identifiers

This policy does not assume advertising identifiers or precise device identifiers unless those practices are later implemented.

Preferred location

A city, neighborhood, or place selected manually by the user.

Approximate location

A broad area used to show nearby people and activities.

Precise device location

Collected only when a user grants device location permission and uses a feature that requires it.

Users may deny location permission, enter a location manually, change permissions in device settings, and update preferred location in their profile.

Location may be used for nearby discovery, distance calculations, map display, activity locations, and safety or fraud prevention where appropriate.

For private activities, exact activity location may be hidden until approval, and unauthorized users may see only an approximate city or area.

Boredom does not need continuous background location tracking for the MVP.

Authentication providers

Boredom may receive a provider account identifier, name, email, profile image, or authentication status from configured authentication providers.

Mapping or place providers

Boredom may receive place IDs, addresses, coordinates, or place names.

App stores

Boredom may receive installation information, purchase status if payments are introduced, or crash reports.

Other users may provide information about you through messages, activity invitations, reports, reviews, or uploaded content.

• Create and manage accounts
• Authenticate users and display profiles
• Personalize recommendations and show nearby activities and people
• Calculate approximate distance and support map features

Vital interests

Where necessary to protect someone’s safety in an emergency.

Boredom does not sell personal information for money.

Depending on settings, users may see profile information, interests, approximate location, activities, friend connections, participation status, messages, and reviews.

Hosts and participants may see display name, profile image, join status, participation status, and activity chat messages.

Legal and safety disclosures

Boredom may disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with law, respond to lawful requests, enforce Terms, investigate fraud, protect users, prevent harm, or defend legal claims.

Public or discoverable information

• Activities created and public activity details
• Activity history, mutual friends, and reviews where shown

Restricted information

• Email address
• Exact device location

Users should avoid sharing sensitive information publicly.

• Direct and group messages are visible to conversation participants.
• Messages are stored to provide chat history.
• Activity chat access depends on participation status.
• Approved participants may gain access to activity chat.
• Leaving an activity may affect future access.
• Blocking a user may prevent new messages.
• Previously sent messages may remain visible to other participants.

Reported messages and limited surrounding context may be reviewed for moderation, safety, support, or legal reasons. This policy does not claim that all messages are actively monitored or that end-to-end encryption is implemented.

Boredom may send new message notifications, friend request notices, activity invitations, join request updates, reminders, activity changes, safety notices, security messages, product updates, and marketing messages where permitted.

Users may manage push notifications, email notifications, certain categories in Settings, and device-level permissions. Essential security, legal, and transactional communications may still be sent.

The website may use local storage, session storage, or essential cookies for core functionality. Analytics cookies may be introduced later if implemented.

This policy does not claim use of cookies or browser storage categories that are not currently implemented.

Boredom may collect usage and diagnostic data to understand feature usage, improve performance, fix crashes, measure reliability, and prevent abuse.

Boredom may introduce privacy-conscious analytics in the future.

Boredom retains data only as long as reasonably necessary for service operation, account management, safety, fraud prevention, legal obligations, disputes, and backups.

• Account information: while the account is active and for 90 days after deletion
• Messages: while needed to provide chat and subject to deletion and legal obligations
• Security logs: for a limited period
• Reports: as needed for safety, enforcement, and legal claims
• Backups: deleted on a delayed cycle

Users may delete their profile through Settings → Delete my account.

Deletion may remove profile details, friend connections, preferences, access to chats, and activity participation data.

Some data may remain in backups for a limited period, in messages already delivered to other users, where required by law, for fraud or security investigations, in anonymized or aggregated form, or in records needed to resolve disputes.

Depending on applicable law, users may have rights to:

• Access personal data
• Correct inaccurate data
• Delete data
• Restrict processing
• Object to processing
• Withdraw consent
• Data portability
• Appeal certain decisions
• Lodge a complaint with a data protection authority

Rights may vary by location. Identity verification may be required before fulfilling a request.

Request contact: privacy@getboredom.app

If California privacy law applies, users may have rights to know, delete, correct, and limit certain uses of personal information.

Boredom does not sell personal information for money. Boredom must separately review whether any future practice could qualify as “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Service providers may process data outside the user’s country. Where required, Boredom may rely on standard contractual clauses, adequacy decisions, or other lawful transfer mechanisms.

Country of processing: Morocco

Boredom uses reasonable technical and organizational safeguards that may include encryption in transit, access controls, authentication, row-level database security, secure service providers, monitoring, backups, and least-privilege access.

No online service can guarantee complete security.

Users are responsible for protecting their account credentials.

Boredom may process data to detect fake accounts, detect spam, investigate suspicious activity, review reports, enforce restrictions, and protect users.

Trust signals such as email verification, profile completeness, activity history, mutual friends, and reviews may be displayed to other users.

These signals do not guarantee identity or safety.

Boredom is not intended for children under 18.

Boredom does not knowingly collect personal information from children below the minimum age. If such information is discovered, Boredom may delete the account and related data.

Boredom may use automated systems to rank activities, suggest people, calculate match scores, recommend nearby content, and detect spam or suspicious behavior.

These systems may use interests, location, mutual connections, activity history, profile completeness, and recent platform activity. Recommendation outputs may be imperfect.

This policy does not claim that automated systems make legally significant decisions.

This policy may change over time. For material updates, Boredom may update the last-updated date, provide reasonable notice, and request consent where legally required.

Users should review the policy periodically.
