At WheresNow, we believe that safety shouldn't come at the cost of your privacy. Our architecture is built with privacy-first principles.

End-to-End Encryption

Your real-time location data is encrypted from the moment it leaves your device. Only members of your private circles have the keys to decrypt and view your location.

Data Retention

  • Real-time location: Never stored on our servers longer than necessary to relay it to your circle.
  • Location History: Encrypted and stored for 30 days (Premium) or as per your plan, then permanently deleted.

Your Control

You have absolute control over your visibility. You can pause sharing at any time with a single tap in the app.
