Around Privacy Policy
Effective date: August 3, 2026
Around is a neighborhood community app that allows users to create accounts, request or offer help, publish community posts, give away items, and interact with other users. This Privacy Policy explains what information Around collects, how it is used, and the choices available to users.

How We Use Information
We use information to:
- Create and manage user accounts.

Information Visible to Other Users
Information that you publish through Around may be visible to other users. This can include your name, profile photo, posts, comments, item listings, requests, replies, and any location details you choose to include. Do not post sensitive personal information that you do not want other users to see.
Service Providers and Disclosure
Around uses third-party service providers to host, store, secure, maintain, and deliver the app. These providers may process information only as needed to perform services for Around. We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect users or the public, to investigate misuse, or as part of a merger, acquisition, financing, or transfer of the app.
Advertising and Tracking
Around does not sell personal information and does not use personal information to track users across apps or websites owned by other companies for targeted advertising.
Data Retention
We retain information for as long as needed to operate the app, maintain user accounts, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, meet legal requirements, and protect the safety and integrity of the service. Some information may remain temporarily in backups after deletion.
Your Choices and Account Deletion
You may update certain account information through the app. You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your account and personal information by using the account-deletion option in the app or by emailing antigonestark4@gmail.com. We may retain limited information when required by law or necessary for security, fraud prevention, or dispute resolution.
Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to protect information. No online service can guarantee absolute security.
Children's Privacy
Around is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us so that we can review and delete it where required.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as the app changes. The effective date at the top of this page will be revised when the policy is updated.
