Privacy
Free search needs no account and we keep nothing. When you pick a category, your browser sends your approximate location (a latitude and a longitude) to our server once, so we can look up what is near you. We do not store it, and we do not keep a record of what you searched for. Opening a place in Google Maps or Apple Maps hands you to those apps, which have their own policies.
If you create an account
An account exists for two things: keeping the locations you pin, and holding credits for Paid search. We store your email address, and for each place you pin, a name and a location — nothing else. Not the address, not who lives there, not when you go.
You choose the names. If you would rather not label a place "Mum's home", call it something only you would recognise — it works exactly the same.
We do not sell or share any of it, and we do not build a profile from it. Ask us and we will delete your account and everything in it: nearitz@grandfieldmedia.com.
Paid search
Paid search sends the same latitude and longitude to Google Places, which returns live opening hours and ratings. Google's own privacy policy applies to that. We keep a line in your credit ledger saying a search happened and what it cost — the category and the day, never the results.
Payments
Payments are handled by Razorpay. Card and bank details go to them and never reach us; we keep the amount, the credits bought and an invoice number.
We email you a six-digit sign-in code when you ask for one. That is all your address is used for unless you tell us otherwise.
Who else touches it
Vercel (hosting, Mumbai region), Supabase (database, Mumbai region), Razorpay (payments, India — card details go to them and never reach us), Resend (the sign-in code email), and Google Places for Paid search only. Free search never leaves our own database.
Deleting your account
You can delete your account yourself, from Profile inside the app — no email, no waiting. It removes your account, every pinned location and your credit history immediately and for good. Any credits left are lost and are not refunded. The only thing kept is the invoices we already issued, detached from you, because Indian tax law requires us to keep them.
Children
Nearitz is not directed at children and we do not knowingly hold an account for anyone under 13.
