Nomad uses third-party service providers. They only have access to the platform users' information they need to provide their services.
Related companies
Nomad may share your information with its related companies, including affiliates, subsidiaries or joint ventures, who have their privacy policies.
Protection and legal purposes
We may use your information to protect the safety, rights and property of our users, Nomad or others; to prevent, detect and counter illegal activity, security and/or technical issues on our services; and to respond to applicable laws or regulations, to legal process, or to government requests.
Nomad may share or sell your information and any company acquiring it will assume the rights and obligations set out in this privacy policy.
Safety and security features
Block and report options
You can use our block feature to manage the users with whom you communicate.
If you find chats or posts that portray pornographic and/or disturbing content to minors, or have misleading tags, contain spam, infringe copyright, make a call to violence and/or have illegal content, you can report it to Nomad.
Data protection
Nomad stores, uses and maintains information employing procedures aimed at limiting its loss, theft, unauthorized access, use, modification, copying or disclosure. Users are responsible for helping to protect the security of their information and for having a strong password that hasn't been used in other websites.
Despite these efforts, we cannot completely eliminate security risks associated with information.
Deleting data
-Accounts
You can delete your account and doing so permanently removes access to it, including contacts, chats, and messages. This action cannot be undone.
-Messages
When you delete a message, it gets deleted from the chats message history.
Children
We believe that protecting the privacy and safety of children is highly important. Hence, children under the age of 13 are not allowed to create a Nomad account or use our services. As a result, we don't knowingly collect, use or disclose personal information from children under 13, and if we learn that we have collected said information, we will take measures to delete it as soon as possible.
When this policy applies
Our privacy policy applies to all of the services offered by Nomad and its affiliates. It does not apply to services offered by other companies or individuals, including products or services that may be displayed to you in search results or on Nomad optimized web pages.
Data transfers
Our servers and our service providers may be located in different countries and, as a result, users' personal information may be available to their governments. The laws of those countries regarding your personal information may be less strict than the ones where you live.
