Our privacy promise
Privacy starts with the defaults. These are the commitments we check before a release.
Last-active sharing starts off
Sharing your last-active information requires your choice. This limits presence information shown to other members. Someone may still infer activity from messages or other information you choose to share.
Read receipts are off by default
Sharing read receipts requires opt-in. You can read at your own pace without sending a read indicator by default.
Typing indicators are off by default
Sharing typing indicators requires opt-in. The default does not broadcast that you are writing or revising a message.
Location starts broad
The app uses supported city or area choices. Distance visibility starts vague. We do not need your street address or device coordinates for that choice.
A broad label cannot hide an address, workplace or identifying detail that you put in a profile, photo or message.
Profile-view tracking starts off
Profile-view tracking requires the relevant opt-in. By default, profile visits do not create a view history for another member to browse.
Your response time is not a public rating
We do not publish your average response time or response rate to other members. Reply at a pace that works for you.
Trust signals stay internal
Internal behavioral signals can influence matching. We do not display them as a trust score, tier or badge on your profile. These signals can be wrong; they are not a certificate of character or safety.
No screenshot monitoring or notifications
We will not add screenshot monitoring or screenshot notifications. A recipient can still take a screenshot, remember what you shared or copy it with another device. Disappearing media cannot prevent those copies.
Phone-contact discovery requires your choice
Northgiven does not currently provide phone-contact discovery. We will not make members discoverable through imported phone contacts without their explicit opt-in.
What these commitments cover
These controls limit sharing with other members. Northgiven still processes data needed for the features you use, account security and safety requests. Encrypted storage does not mean the service cannot access data.
Read the Privacy Policy for data uses, recipients and retention, and use account deletion or support when needed. Deleting data from the active service does not immediately erase every backup copy.
This beta is still being prepared. Policies and privacy checks must be finalized before invitations are issued.
We are preparing an invite-only beta for adults who live permanently in Florida, starting in St. Petersburg. Requests are reviewed before an invitation is issued.
