Last Updated: January 1, 2026

Effective Date: January 1, 2026

IMPORTANT NOTICE. Procks is a location-based application. By using the Service, you share your precise geographic location with Procks LLC and, depending on your settings, with other users. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully to understand how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your information.

1. Introduction

Procks LLC (“Procks,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) provides the Procks mobile application and related services (collectively, the “Service”), a location-based platform that allows users to share their geographic location, view other users in proximity, share content, and exchange messages with users nearby.

This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information about users of the Service (“you” or “User”). It applies to all individuals who access or use the Service. By using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read and understand this Privacy Policy. Your use of the Service is also governed by our Terms and Conditions, which are incorporated by reference.

If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, you must not access or use the Service.

2. Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to information we collect through the Service, including the Procks mobile application, our websites, customer-support communications, and any other Procks-branded interfaces that link to this Privacy Policy. It does not apply to (a) information collected by third parties, including third-party websites, services, or applications you access through the Service; (b) information collected by other users of the Service; or (c) information you choose to make publicly available through the Service.

3. Information We Collect

We collect information in three principal ways: information you provide directly, information collected automatically, and information from third parties.

3.1 Information You Provide

Account Information: When you register, we may collect your username, email address, phone number, password, profile photo, date of birth (for age verification), and other information you choose to provide.
Profile Information: Information you add to your profile, such as bio, interests, photos, and other details visible to other users in proximity.
User Content: Messages, posts, photos, comments, and other content you submit, share, or transmit through the Service. This includes any information shared visibly with other proximate users.

Payment Information: If you make purchases, our third-party payment processors collect payment information. We do not store full payment-card numbers on our servers.

3.2 Information Collected Automatically

Precise Location Data: The Service requires access to your precise geographic location (GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and cellular data) to function. We collect this location data continuously while the Service is in use, and, with your permission, in the background to enable proximity-based features.
Device Information: Device model, operating system and version, unique device identifiers (including advertising identifiers such as IDFA and AAID), mobile network information, browser type, language, time zone, and hardware settings.
Usage Data: Information about your interactions with the Service, including features used, content viewed, search queries, click data, session duration, frequency of use, crash data, and performance logs.
Log Data: IP address, access times, pages and screens viewed, and referring URLs.
Cookies and Similar Technologies: We and our third-party partners use cookies, web beacons, SDKs, pixels, and similar technologies to collect information about your use of the Service and to provide, personalize, and analyze the Service. See Section 11 for more details.
Sensor Data: With your permission, we may access motion sensors, accelerometer data, gyroscope, magnetometer, and other device sensors to support proximity and location features.

3.3 Information from Third Parties

Social Sign-In: If you log in using a third-party account (e.g., Apple, Google, Facebook), we receive information from that provider, such as your name, email, and profile picture, in accordance with the provider’s settings.
Service Providers: We receive information from analytics, fraud-prevention, advertising, and infrastructure providers about your use of the Service and your devices.
Other Users: Other users may provide information about you, such as when they tag you, mention you, or report your conduct.
Public Sources: We may obtain information from publicly available sources to help verify identity or prevent fraud.

4. Special Notice Regarding Location Data

PRECISE LOCATION DATA IS THE CORE OF THE SERVICE AND IS INHERENTLY SENSITIVE. By using the Service, you expressly consent to our collection, use, processing, transmission, storage, and disclosure of your precise location data as described in this Privacy Policy.

You acknowledge and accept the following risks associated with sharing precise location:

Other users may identify your home, workplace, routines, or physical whereabouts;
Other users may screenshot, record, or otherwise capture your location and any associated content;
Once shared, location and content may be impossible to fully retract;
Aggregated or de-identified location data may, in some circumstances, be re-identifiable;
Location data may be subject to disclosure pursuant to legal process.

You may disable location access at any time through your device settings or within the Service. Disabling location access will substantially limit or disable Service functionality. You can also delete your account at any time as described in Section 9.

5. How We Use Your Information

We use information we collect for the following purposes:

Provide the Service: Operate, maintain, and provide the Service, including matching you with other proximate users, displaying content from nearby users, and enabling messaging.

Personalization: Customize content, recommendations, and features based on your location, preferences, and behavior.
Communications: Send service-related messages, updates, security alerts, and administrative notices, and respond to your inquiries.

Analytics and Improvement: Analyze usage patterns, perform research, develop new features, and improve performance, security, and user experience.
Safety, Security, and Fraud Prevention: Detect, prevent, investigate, and address fraud, abuse, security incidents, harmful or illegal activity, and violations of our Terms or policies.

Aggregated and De-identified Data: Create aggregated, anonymized, or de-identified data, which we may use and share for any purpose without restriction.
With Consent: For any other purpose disclosed to you and to which you consent.

We may share your information in the following circumstances:

6.1 With Other Users

The core function of the Service is to share information with other users in your geographic proximity. By design, the following information is or may be visible to other users: your username, profile information, photos, location (in approximate or precise form, as applicable), User Content, messages you send to proximate users, and any other information you choose to share. You acknowledge that anything visible to other users may be copied, screenshotted, or further shared by them, and we have no control over such use.

6.2 Service Providers

We share information with third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf, such as cloud hosting, data storage, analytics, customer support, payment processing, fraud prevention, communications, mapping, and advertising. These providers are contractually obligated to use information only as necessary to perform services for us.

6.3 Advertising and Analytics Partners

We may share information with advertising networks, analytics providers, and measurement partners to deliver and measure advertising, including ads that may be tailored based on your interests, location, or activity. These partners may use cookies, SDKs, and similar technologies to collect information about your activities over time and across services.

6.4 Business Transfers

If Procks is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you of any such transfer and any choices you may have.

6.5 Legal Requirements and Safety

We may disclose information when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary or appropriate to: (a) comply with applicable law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request; (b) enforce our Terms or other agreements; (c) detect, investigate, prevent, or address fraud, security, or technical issues; (d) protect the rights, property, or safety of Procks, our users, or others; or (e) respond to claims that any User Content violates the rights of third parties.

We may share information with third parties when you direct us to or otherwise consent.

6.7 Aggregated or De-identified Data

We may share aggregated, anonymized, or de-identified information that does not reasonably identify you for any purpose.

7. Data Retention

We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, and for other legitimate business purposes.

Specific retention periods vary based on the type of information, the purpose for which it is processed, and applicable legal requirements. Location data is generally retained for the period necessary to provide the Service and for analytics, safety, and legal purposes. We may retain certain de-identified or aggregated information indefinitely.

When information is no longer needed, we will delete or anonymize it, unless we are required by law to retain it longer.

8. Data Security

We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. These safeguards may include encryption in transit and at rest, access controls, monitoring, and personnel training.

HOWEVER, NO METHOD OF TRANSMISSION OR STORAGE IS 100% SECURE. We cannot and do not guarantee the absolute security of your information. You provide information at your own risk. If you have reason to believe that your account or information is no longer secure, please contact us immediately.

9. Your Choices and Controls

9.1 Account Information

You may review, update, or correct your account information at any time through your account settings. You may delete your account by following the deletion instructions within the Service or by contacting us. After deletion, we may retain certain information as required by law or for legitimate business purposes.

9.2 Location Permissions

You can enable, restrict, or disable location access at any time through your device settings. Disabling location access will significantly limit or disable Service functionality.

9.3 Communications Preferences

You may opt out of promotional emails by following the unsubscribe link in those messages. You cannot opt out of service-related communications (such as security alerts and account notices) while you maintain an account.

9.4 Push Notifications

You can manage push notifications through your device settings or in-app settings.

9.5 Cookies and Tracking

You can manage cookies through your browser settings and limit ad tracking through your device’s privacy settings (e.g., Limit Ad Tracking on iOS, Opt Out of Ads Personalization on Android).

9.6 Do Not Track

Some browsers transmit “Do Not Track” signals. Because there is no industry-standard interpretation of these signals, the Service does not currently respond to them.
