Your privacy is important to us. This document describes how HereNow (referred to herein as "the Application," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and safeguards information when you download and interact with our mobile application and any associated services accessible via the Google Play Store (together, the "Platform"). Please read this Privacy Policy ("Policy") carefully.
By installing or continuing to use the Application, you confirm that you have reviewed and agree to the practices outlined in this Policy.
We limit our collection to information that is reasonably required to operate, sustain, and enhance the Service. By accessing or using HereNow, you consent to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
Contact and account details — information you supply when creating an account or communicating with us through in-app forms or support channels.
Support communications — messages and attachments you send to our customer support team.
When you interact with the Service, certain technical and behavioral data is collected automatically, including:
Device identifiers and technical data: IP address, device model, operating system version, and browser/app version.
Advertising identifiers: Device-level advertising IDs employed for analytics and attribution purposes.
Usage and activity data: Feature interactions, session patterns, and in-app behavior that help us understand how the Service is utilized.
Limited data may be received from third-party partners — for example, through cookies or similar tracking technologies on partner networks. The data practices of those third parties are governed by their own privacy policies, not this one.
We do not deliberately collect sensitive categories of personal data such as financial account details, medical records, or biometric data.

You may withdraw location access at any time through the app's settings or your device's system permissions.

Foreground Service & Wake Lock: Maintains active and accurate location sharing during an ongoing Live Sharing session.
Haptic Feedback: Supplies vibration feedback for in-app alerts.
Boot Receiver: Enables the service to resume after a device restart if Live Sharing was previously active.
App Inventory (Installed Apps): Used exclusively for security and compatibility verification.

Personalization: Adapting the experience to your preferences and usage patterns.
Performance and improvement: Analyzing how the Service is used to resolve issues, refine features, and develop new capabilities.
Customer support: Responding to your inquiries and addressing concerns.
Legal compliance and enforcement: Fulfilling our obligations under applicable law and enforcing our Terms of Use and other policies.

For your reference, the privacy practices of our key third-party partners are governed by their respective policies:

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, or as mandated by law.
You may request deletion of your personal data at any time by contacting us at help@fengqiyuntu.com. We will delete or anonymize your data within 30 days of a verified request, unless we are legally required to retain it for a longer period.

The Service is intended for users aged 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected data from a child under 13, we will take prompt steps to delete that information. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal data, please contact us at help@fengqiyuntu.com.
HereNow operates on a global basis. Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than the one in which you reside. Where such transfers occur, we take appropriate measures to ensure your data receives a level of protection consistent with applicable privacy laws.
We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify you — for example, by posting a notice within the app or updating the "Effective" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Service after such notification constitutes your acceptance of the updated Policy.
