privacy

1. what we collect

• your email, to sign you in
• if you join the waitlist, just your email, to tell you the day circuit opens. ask and we'll take you off it.
• your first name, your age range, your photo or avatar, and what you write on your profile
• your plans, check-ins, messages and status
• what you save in the app: places you want to go, likes, your reviews, who you met, and the trusted contacts you add for location sharing (their name and number). it's kept with your account so it's there on any phone, and only you can see it.
• an approximate area when you share a status, if you allow location. the map also uses your location to show what's near you, on your phone only.
• if you check your photo, Dojah (our verification partner) takes a live selfie and compares it with your profile photo. circuit keeps only the result and the date, never the selfie.
• if circuit asks you for an age check, a photo of your ID. only circuit's team can see it, and it's deleted once they've checked it; we keep only the result.
• a device code to send you notifications, if you allow them

2. what other people see

your first name and face. if you set a status, an area 300–500 m from where you are, never your exact spot. your email never leaves sign-in.

3. what we never do

• sell your data
• show your exact location, or track you
• share your email or phone number with hosts or other people

4. how long we keep things

statuses end on their own, by 4 AM at the latest. your account stays until you delete it; then we delete your data, except what the law says we have to keep.

5. your choices

choose who sees your status, hide from people, block anyone. turn location off and circuit still works.

6. your rights

you can ask for a copy of your data or for it to be deleted, under data protection laws where you live, such as the NDPA in Nigeria and the GDPR in the EU. use settings, or email hello@circuitlife.app.

7. changes

if this changes in a way that matters, we'll tell you in the app first.
