CTWOME PRIVACY POLICY
Last Revised: 2025-09-12
This privacy policy applies to information we collect when you use or access our website, application, or interact with us. We may change this privacy policy from time to time. Whenever we make changes, the new version becomes effective once posted. We encourage you to review this policy regularly to stay informed about our practices and your choices.
1. Collection of Information
1.1 Information You Provide to Us
We collect information you provide directly to us, such as when you create an account, update your profile, participate in features, request support, or otherwise communicate with us.
Examples include:
- Name, email address, and profile information
- Photos, posts, or other content you choose to share
- Contact details you submit voluntarily
1.2 Information We Collect Automatically
When you access or use our services, we may automatically collect certain information including:
Log Information: Usage data such as access times, pages viewed, IP address, and referring page.
Device Information: Information about your device, operating system, and app version.
1.3 Location Information
CTWOME uses location data to enable features that help users discover people and activity in their surrounding area.
When a user activates the Live Radar feature, the app may access the device’s location to determine nearby users and update the user’s approximate presence within the network.
Location data may be collected while the app is running in the background or when the device screen is locked, but only while the user has enabled the Live Radar feature.
This supports features such as:
- Live Radar ("Who is around")
- Networking in daily life
- Heatmap
- Treasure Hunt & Rewards
- Notifications
To protect privacy: Location sharing is optional, users must explicitly enable Live Radar, precise locations are not displayed, and updates occur only upon significant movement.
1.4 Cookies and Tracking
We may use cookies or similar technologies to improve functionality, analyze usage, and enhance the user experience.
1.5 Information From Other Sources
We may combine information from external services (such as authentication providers) with information collected through CTWOME.
2. Use of Information
We use collected information to provide, maintain, and improve CTWOME; enable nearby discovery features; process rewards and treasure hunt mechanics; send technical notices and support messages; and personalize the user experience.
3. Sharing of Information
We may share personal information with trusted service providers, if required by law, to protect security, or in connection with business transactions. We may also share aggregated or anonymized information.
4. Third-Party Analytics
We may allow third parties to provide analytics services. These services may use cookies or similar technologies to collect information about how you interact with our services.
5. Security
We take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect your information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
6. Your Information Choices
6.1 Location Information
If you allow background location access, CTWOME may continue receiving location updates while the app is running in the background. You may stop collection at any time by pressing the Stop button or changing permissions in device settings.
6.2 Additional User Controls
You remain in control: use the Stop button, block/ignore users, or enable Ghost Mode to hide from the radar and heatmap.
6.3 Cookies
You may disable cookies in your browser settings, though this may affect certain features.
6.4 Promotional Communications
You may opt out of promotional emails at any time.
