Molao Privacy Policy

• Your display name, profile note, selected avatar, posts, photos, comments, reactions, saved items, messages, and voice messages.
• Reports, blocks, hidden posts, and account-management requests.
• A local username and password used to open the app. The password is stored in the device Keychain and is not sent to the Molao social service.

If you choose “Use my approximate area,” the app asks iOS for location access while the app is in use. Coordinates are rounded on your device to approximately a one-kilometre area before they are sent to the service. The app uses this area to order people, posts, distances, and map markers near you.

You can instead choose a manual city area, such as Lisbon, without granting location access. Molao does not need continuous background location.

Camera, photo-library, and microphone access occurs only after you choose a related action. A photo or recording you choose to send is uploaded as part of the post or conversation. Molao does not upload the rest of your photo library or record audio in the background.

The app creates a random installation identifier so the service can associate your profile, safety choices, posts, and conversations with that installation. We and our service providers may also process app interactions, attribution information, and technical diagnostics for app functionality, analytics, fraud prevention, and reliability.

The nearby social service is hosted using Cloudflare infrastructure. Apple processes information related to downloading and operating the app under Apple’s own policies.

• Show nearby profiles, photo relays, comments, and approximate distances.
• Deliver posts and conversations between Molao members.
• Remember your selected area, account state, bookmarks, and preferences.
• Investigate reports, enforce community rules, protect members, and maintain service security.
• Measure reliability and improve the app experience.

Your public profile, posts, photos, comments, and approximate area may be visible to other people using Molao within the selected discovery range. Direct messages and attached media are shown to conversation participants. We do not sell the content you create.

We may disclose information to infrastructure, analytics, and safety service providers that process it for us; when required by law; or when reasonably necessary to protect people, rights, and the service.

Social records are retained while needed to provide the service and maintain safety. Choosing Delete Account removes your Molao profile, posts, comments, conversations, uploaded media, and local sign-in credentials, and resets connected session state on the device. A safety report may be retained without an active public profile when necessary to document abuse, comply with law, or prevent repeated harm.

You can decline location and browse a manual area, change location permission in iOS Settings, hide or save posts, block people, report content or profiles, sign out locally, and delete your account. Blocking removes that person from your discovery experience and prevents the blocked person from starting a conversation with you.

Molao is not directed to children. Do not create an account if you are below the minimum age required to use a social service where you live.

We use reasonable technical and organisational safeguards, but no storage or transmission method is completely secure. We may update this policy when the product or legal requirements change. The date above identifies the current version.
