Effective Date: October 25, 2024
I am a real person, Franklin, writing this to you. I like to treat others the same way I like to be treated. I hate how the internet tracks people, and uses their information to sell them stuff and/or to manipulate them. I don't do that. I might start putting ads on here someday to help fund the project, but that will be the extent of that sort of thing. There are costs associated with making this website function, so that needs to be addressed somehow, and there are college loans to pay off.....Those are my thoughts. Someday I will have a comment system so you can share your thoughts as well. Be safe and have fun! - Franklin.
Your privacy is important to us. This page outlines the limited information we collect and how we use it to understand traffic patterns and improve the functionality of our website.
We collect a minimal amount of information to help us monitor site performance and understand general usage. This information is stored in a secure manner and is only used for analytical purposes:
The information we collect is used purely for internal purposes:
We do not sell, rent, or otherwise share your information with third parties.
This website does not ask for or collect any personal data that can identify you, such as your name, email, or contact details. Your visits to our website are anonymous, and any information we collect is general in nature, focused on understanding website traffic trends.
At this time, we do not use cookies or other tracking methods that store data on your device. Our analytics are based on the information collected in real-time during your visit.
To enhance your experience on NearbyLens, we temporarily use GPS coordinates when you access location-based features on our website. This feature helps us show you relevant points of interest, amenities, and other local information based on your current location.
How GPS Data Is Used: The GPS coordinates are used solely to help display nearby locations in real-time. They enable us to filter and present information that is specific to your surroundings. This data is not stored in our databases and is only used temporarily during your browsing session.
No Personal Data Collection: We do not collect, retain, or use GPS coordinates to identify you personally. The information is used solely for immediate display purposes and is discarded as soon as the session ends. This means that we do not save any location history or personal identifiers linked to your GPS data.
Your privacy is our priority, and we’ve designed NearbyLens to be a tool for discovery without compromising your personal information or privacy. You can use location-based features with the confidence that your data is treated responsibly.
