Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

NearbyView is a platform being developed to connect people who request current videos of places with people who can film those places. This policy explains how personal information is handled when you visit the website, create an account, join the early-access network or use the platform.

2. Information we collect

• Account information, such as your name, email address, profile photo and authentication identifier.
• Profile information, including your role, country, city, filming equipment, availability and planned destinations.
• Request and delivery information, such as filming instructions, messages, uploaded footage, confirmations and transaction records.
• Technical information, including device, browser, IP address, security logs and basic usage data.
• Information you choose to provide through forms, support requests or surveys.

3. How we use information

• To create and secure your account.
• To match video requests with suitable filming partners.
• To operate profiles, planned-location status, video delivery and payment confirmation workflows.
• To communicate about your account, requests, safety, service changes and support.
• To prevent fraud, abuse and illegal or unsafe filming requests.
• To improve and measure the service and comply with legal obligations.

4. Legal bases

Where applicable, we process information to provide the service you request, based on consent, our legitimate interests in operating and securing NearbyView, and compliance with legal obligations. You may withdraw consent where processing relies on consent.

5. Service providers and sharing

We may share only the information needed with other users to complete a request and with trusted providers that support authentication, email, hosting, database, file storage, analytics, fraud prevention and payments. If you choose Google sign-in, Google processes the authentication step under its own privacy terms. We do not sell personal information.

6. Videos and public places

Users must respect privacy, image rights and local filming laws. NearbyView prohibits targeted surveillance, harassment, filming in restricted or private areas without permission, and requests that create a safety risk. Uploaded footage may be reviewed when necessary to investigate a report or dispute.

7. International processing

NearbyView is intended for worldwide use. Information may be processed in countries other than your own. Where required, appropriate safeguards are used for international transfers.

8. Retention and security

We keep information only as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described here, including account operation, safety, dispute resolution and legal compliance. We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards, but no online service can guarantee absolute security.

9. Your choices and rights

Depending on your location, you may ask to access, correct, export or delete your personal information, restrict or object to certain processing, or withdraw consent. You may also sign out or stop using the service. Identity verification may be required before a request is completed.

10. Cookies and similar technologies

The website may use essential cookies or local storage to keep sessions secure, remember language choices and operate account features. Optional analytics or advertising technologies will be used only where permitted and, when required, after consent.

11. Children

NearbyView is not intended for children under 18. We do not knowingly allow minors to accept paid filming requests or create accounts independently.

12. Contact and policy changes

Privacy requests can be submitted through the contact or support channel displayed on NearbyView. We may update this policy as the platform develops. The date at the top shows the latest revision.
