Privacy, in one paragraph.

Here&Now has no accounts, no profiles, and no tracking. When you share a moment, we keep three things: the location you tagged, the photo or video file, and a 12-hour timer. After 12 hours the row and the media file are permanently deleted — automatically, by a job running every hour. That's it.

What we store

• The moment itself — place name, coordinates you picked, optional caption and vibe, the media file. Deleted within an hour of its 12h expiry.
• An anonymous session id — a random UUID generated in your browser. It's used only so we can attribute the upload to the same browser that posted it. No email, name, IP log, device fingerprint or analytics attached.

What we don't store

• No name, email, phone, or password.
• No login. No "profile."
• No analytics or session replay.
• No behavioral tracking across visits.
• No selling, sharing, or marketing — there's nothing to sell.

Third parties

The map and place search are powered by OpenStreetMap. Map tiles and search requests go directly from your browser to OpenStreetMap's public servers (openstreetmap.org). Hosting, the moment database, and automatic face blurring run on Lovable Cloud. Face detection (used only to find faces so they can be blurred) runs through Lovable's AI gateway; the original photo is deleted immediately after, and only the blurred version is ever stored or published.

Requests and contact

Since we hold no personal data, there is normally nothing to export, correct, or erase — everything disappears on its own within 13 hours of posting. If you still have a privacy request, or believe a moment infringes your rights (for example a photo of you that should not be public), contact us at check@hereandnow.network and we will remove it promptly.
