Who Can See My Location in WheresNow?

---

When sharing your location with family or friends, it's important to know exactly who can see it. At WheresNow, location sharing is designed around privacy, transparency, and user control.

Your Location Is Only Shared With Your Circles

Your real-time location is never publicly visible. Only people who belong to your private circles can view your location.

A circle is a private group that you create or join using an invitation. Members outside your circles cannot access your location information.

You Control Who Joins Your Circle

Circle membership is controlled by invitations and join codes. This helps ensure that only trusted family members and friends gain access to shared location information.

Before adding someone to a circle, always verify that you trust them and want them to have access to your location updates.

Circle Owners Can Manage Members

Circle owners have additional controls that help keep circles secure.

Owners can:

• View circle members
• Remove members from the circle
• Manage circle settings
• Control access to shared circle features

If a member is removed from a circle, they immediately lose access to the locations and updates shared within that circle.

Pause Location Sharing Anytime

You remain in control of your location at all times.

If you do not want to share your location temporarily, you can pause location sharing directly from the app. Once paused, your circle members will no longer receive your live location updates until sharing is resumed.

This allows you to decide when and where your location is visible.

Location History Access

If your plan includes location history, only authorized members within your circle can view the history that has been shared with them.

Location history is protected using security measures designed to prevent unauthorized access.

No Public Location Sharing

Unlike social media platforms that may publicly expose location information, WheresNow does not publish your location to the internet, search engines, or public profiles.

Your location remains visible only to the people you choose.

Tips for Safer Location Sharing

To maintain privacy and security:

• Share your location only with people you trust.
• Review circle membership regularly.
• Remove inactive or unknown members.
• Use strong account passwords.
• Pause location sharing whenever needed.

You're Always in Control

WheresNow is built to help families and friends stay connected while respecting privacy. Your location is shared only with trusted circle members, and you can change your sharing preferences at any time.

Your safety and privacy remain our priority.
