Only with your permission, while the app is open
We ask through your phone’s own permission prompt and say what it is for. We never ask for background location and don’t collect it while the app is closed.
Your privacy choices
Zivvy runs on location, and location is some of the most sensitive data there is. This page shows how we use your location, what you control in the app and how to use your rights over your data.
How we treat your location
A venue, not coordinates
Friends never see you as a dot on a map; they see which venue you are at, and only the people you allow in your privacy settings.
Venues don’t see you individually
Businesses only get combined, anonymous numbers, such as how many people came today or saved them.
We don’t sell your data
There are no ad networks or ad trackers in the app or on the site. Your data is shared only with the providers we work with to run the service, under contracts and confidentiality duties.
No sensitive places
Zivvy only lists cafés, restaurants, bars, dessert places and nightlife. Hospitals, places of worship, schools and similar places aren’t listed, so nobody can check in there.
Extra care for young people
Zivvy isn’t meant for anyone under 16. People under 18 don’t see bars, nightlife or deals involving alcohol.
What you control in the app
All under Profile → Privacy settings in the app; changes apply at once.
Ghost mode
While on, nobody sees your location or check-ins, and you leave no trace on profiles you view.
Hide at set hours
Switch to ghost mode automatically at the hours you choose, every day.
Hide from some friends
The people you pick can’t see where you are, and they aren’t told.
Who sees what
Choose for each detail whether your friends or people outside your list can see it.
Friend requests and search
You decide who can send you requests and whether people can find you by username.
Turning location off
Take back the permission any time in your phone’s Settings → Zivvy → Location. Nearby venues and check-ins don’t work without it.
Your rights under KVKK
You can ask whether we process your data, get information about it, and have it corrected or deleted, or object to its use (KVKK Art. 11). We answer within 30 days at the latest.
