Privacy Policy

Last updated: 28 September 2026

I Will Find You ("the app") lets you write a message, send it out into the world, and hear back from a stranger who finds it. This page explains what we collect to make that work and what we don't.

What we collect

• Profile info you provide: a display name, an optional one-line bio, your age, your general location (city/country — never precise GPS), and an optional, private gender field that is never shown to other users.
• Content you create: bottle messages, chat messages (including voice clips, if you record one), and Harbor wall posts.
• Coin balance and purchase history, once real purchases are available.
• Advertising identifiers, once AdMob is integrated, used the same way any app using Google's ad network uses them — to show and measure ads.
• Basic usage activity (added 2 September 2026; broadened 28 September 2026): which screens you open (e.g. Discover, Write, Harbor) and which buttons/features you use (e.g. throwing a bottle, waving, joining a chat), each with a timestamp, your IP address, and your device/browser's user-agent string. As of 28 September 2026, this also includes a basic record that the page was loaded at all, sent the moment it starts loading — before you've chosen to do anything — so we can tell how many visits make it past the loading screen. This is recorded automatically — it is not something you submit — and it's how we understand which parts of the app are actually being used so we can improve them. We also keep a record of the most recent IP address and the most recent time each account was active.

What we don't collect

We don't collect precise GPS location, your real name (unless you choose to use it), or your device contacts.

How it's used

To operate the core features — matching your thrown bottles with other users, running chat, showing the Harbor wall, and tracking your coin balance. Your general location is shown alongside content you post (e.g. "from Lisbon, Portugal") so the exchange feels real; it is never precise enough to locate you. Usage activity and IP addresses (see above) are used only for understanding how the app is used and for security/abuse prevention — never shown to other users, never sold, and not used for location-based features (your general location field, which you provide yourself, is what powers those).

Blocking, reporting, and moderation

You can block any user and report any message or post. Reported content is reviewed and automatically hidden once it receives multiple reports. We keep a record of reports and blocks to enforce this.

Children's privacy

I Will Find You is an 18+ product and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18; accounts are rejected at signup if the stated age is under 18.
