Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 14, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how See The World Closer (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and shares information when you use seetheworldcloser.com and related services (the “Service”). By using the Service, you agree to this Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Information We Collect

• Account information. When you sign up, our authentication provider processes your email address, name, username, and password credentials. We receive your account identifier, display name, username, and profile image.
• Profile information. Any bio, location, links, and avatar you choose to add.
• Content you provide. Posts, photos, videos (“Peeks”), captions, comments, likes, saves, and follows.
• Usage and device data. Log data such as IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, and interactions, collected automatically when you use the Service.
• Cookies and similar technologies. Used to keep you signed in and to operate and improve the Service.
• Advertising data. When ads are shown, our advertising partners may collect or receive information through cookies and similar technologies — such as your IP address, device and browser information, and interactions with ads — to serve, measure, and (where permitted) personalize advertising.

2. How We Use Information

• to provide, operate, maintain, and improve the Service;
• to authenticate you and keep your account secure;
• to display your content and profile to others as part of the Service;
• to communicate with you about the Service, including service-related notices;
• to detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, security, and technical issues;
• to comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.

3. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only as follows:

• Publicly. Your profile, posts, Peeks, comments, and related activity are visible to others by the nature of a public social platform. Do not post anything you wish to keep private.
• Service providers. With vendors who process data on our behalf to run the Service — including authentication, cloud hosting, database, and file-storage providers — under agreements that limit their use of the data.
• Advertising partners. With third-party advertising providers that display and measure ads on the Service. These partners may use cookies and device identifiers as described in the Advertising section below.
• Legal reasons. When we believe disclosure is necessary to comply with law, legal process, or lawful government requests, or to protect the rights, safety, and property of our users, the public, or us.
• Business transfers. In connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, subject to this Policy.

4. Content You Make Public

The Service is a public platform. Information you post can be viewed, copied, and shared by others and may be indexed by search engines. We cannot control how others use content you make public.

5. Data Retention

We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service and for legitimate business or legal purposes. You may request deletion of your account and associated personal data as described below; some information may persist in backups or where retention is legally required.

6. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or port your personal information, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to withdraw consent. You can edit much of your information in your settings. To exercise other rights, email hello@seetheworldcloser.com. We will respond as required by applicable law. This includes rights under the EU/UK GDPR and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA) where applicable; we do not “sell” or “share” personal information as those terms are defined by the CCPA.

8. Children’s Privacy

The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

9. International Users

We may process and store information in countries other than where you live. By using the Service, you consent to the transfer of your information to such countries, which may have different data-protection laws than yours.

10. Advertising

The Service is supported by advertising. Ads may be served by us or by third-party advertising partners, who may use cookies, device identifiers, and similar technologies to deliver, measure, and — where permitted by law and your choices — personalize ads based on your activity over time and across sites. We do not sell your personal information. You can limit ad personalization through your device and browser settings, and, where available, through industry opt-out tools such as the Digital Advertising Alliance (optout.aboutads.info) or Your Online Choices (youronlinechoices.eu). The privacy practices of advertising partners are governed by their own policies.

11. Third-Party Links and Embeds

The Service may link to or embed third-party content (for example, videos hosted on external platforms). Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, and we are not responsible for them.

12. Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” signal. Because there is no common industry standard, we do not currently respond to these signals.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. We will update the “Last updated” date and, for material changes, provide additional notice where appropriate. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
