Is My Privacy Safe on Currently?

Updated

Your privacy is not an afterthought on Currently. It's part of the product's core design.

Currently is built to help you stay socially aware without tracking, selling, or exploiting your data.

🔐 Privacy by Design (Not by Policy)

Most social apps say privacy matters in their policies. Currently builds privacy directly into how features work.

That's why:

  • Posts are real-time, not permanent broadcasts
  • There's no background location tracking
  • You always choose when to share
  • Nothing happens silently in the background

If you don't take an action, nothing is shared.

📍 How Location Works on Currently

Location on Currently is optional, moment-based, and user-controlled.

Important things to know:

  • Your location is shared only when you post a Moment
  • Currently does not track you in the background
  • You're never visible just because the app is installed

Location exists to add context, not surveillance.

👥 Who Can See My Moments?

Visibility depends on who you follow, your privacy settings, and where and how you post.

Generally:

  • Friends/followers can see your Moments
  • Nearby discovery shows activity, not personal details
  • You are never auto-exposed to strangers without context

You stay visible by choice, not by default.

🧾 What Data Does Currently Collect?

Currently collects only what's necessary to function:

  • Basic account information
  • Activity data for Moments and streaks
  • App usage for performance and reliability

Currently does not sell your personal data, track you across other apps, or use your content for ads without consent.

No dark patterns. No hidden monetization.

🚫 What Currently Does NOT Do

To be very clear, Currently does not:

  • ❌ Track your live location 24/7
  • ❌ Record background audio or video
  • ❌ Read your messages or contacts secretly
  • ❌ Push viral or manipulative content
  • ❌ Force public exposure

If something is visible, it's because you chose to share it.

🛑 Blocking, Reporting & Safety Tools

If you ever feel uncomfortable:

  • You can block users instantly
  • You can report Moments or profiles
  • Reports are reviewed seriously
  • Repeated misuse leads to action

Currently prioritizes safe, respectful participation.

🧠 Why Privacy Feels Different on Currently

Traditional platforms track behavior to predict you, use algorithms to influence you, and monetize attention aggressively.

Currently reflects what's happening now, avoids manipulation, and respects your boundaries.

You're not the product. Your presence is the point.

❓ Common Privacy Questions

Q: Can someone track me through the map? No. Map visibility is moment-based and optional.

Q: Can businesses see my personal details? No. They only see public activity context, not private data.

Q: Can I use Currently quietly? Yes. You control when and how you participate.

✅ In Summary

  • You control when you're visible
  • No background tracking
  • No data selling
  • Clear controls for blocking & reporting
  • Privacy built into product behavior

Currently lets you stay connected without feeling watched.
