Privacy Policy

1. What we collect

• Account data: name, email, username, profile photo and the interests you add.
• Activity data: plans you make or join, Circles, messages, posts, stories, reactions and reports.
• Approximate location: your city or area, only when you allow it, to show plans nearby.
• Payment data: handled by our payment provider; we never see or store your full card number.
• Device and usage data: basic technical logs (device type, browser, app version, crash data) to keep the Service fast and secure.

2. How we protect your location

Other members never see your exact position. Nearby features use a rounded, approximate area, and only a general area is ever public. Exact meeting points are shared only with confirmed members of a plan. You can turn location off anytime in your browser or device settings; the Service still works, but nearby features will be limited.

3. Why we use your data (legal bases)

• To provide the Service (contract): match you with people and plans, run messages, stories, streaks and notifications.
• Safety and integrity (legitimate interest): handle reports, prevent abuse, fraud and spam.
• Payments (contract and legal obligation): process paid plans and keep required accounting records.
• Improvement (legitimate interest): understand aggregate usage to make the Service better. We do not sell your personal data and we do not use advertising trackers.
• Consent: where required (for example optional location access), we ask first and you can withdraw consent anytime.

4. Who can see what

Your profile, posts and follower lists are visible to the audience you choose in your privacy settings (public, city, link-only or private). Messages are visible only to people in the conversation. Story viewer lists are visible only to the story's author. Venue partners see only aggregated, anonymous numbers — never individual members.

5. Who we share data with

• Service providers: hosting, database, payment processing and email delivery partners who process data on our instructions under contract.
• Legal requirements: where the law requires it, or to protect the safety and rights of members and the public.
• We never sell your personal data to third parties.

6. International transfers

Your data may be processed on servers outside your country, including outside the EU/EEA. Where we transfer data internationally, we use appropriate safeguards such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.

7. How long we keep data

We keep your data only as long as needed to provide the Service. Stories disappear and are deleted after 24 hours. When you delete your account, your profile and content are removed, except what we must keep by law (for example payment and accounting records) or for safety and abuse-prevention purposes, which are kept for a limited period and then deleted.

8. Your rights (GDPR)

You have the right to:

• Access, correct and export your data.
• Delete your account and data.
• Object to or restrict certain processing, and withdraw consent at any time.
• Complain to your local data protection authority (in Estonia: the Data Protection Inspectorate, andmekaitseinspektsioon).

To make a request, email privacy@thehumns.com. We reply within 30 days.

9. Cookies and storage

We use essential storage to keep you signed in and remember your preferences, and limited privacy-respecting analytics to understand aggregate usage. We do not use third-party advertising cookies or trackers. Analytics only starts after you accept it, and you can change your choice at any moment with the "Cookie settings" link in the footer of every page.

10. Children

HUMN is for adults 18+. We do not knowingly collect data from minors and we delete accounts we learn belong to anyone under 18.

11. Changes to this policy

We will tell you in the app before major changes to this policy take effect. The "last updated" date at the top always shows the current version.
