Privacy policy

Last updated 8 November 2026

The short version

Spotyoo shows where mobile businesses are right now and helps customers follow them. We store the live spot a vendor chooses to publish. We do not store a history of where you or your customers have been. We do not sell location data. We do not run third-party ad tracking.

Location

Customers: location is requested while using the app, after an in-context explanation. It is used to centre the map, sort vendors by distance and decide whether a followed vendor going live is near enough to warrant a notification. If you deny permission, city and map-pan browsing still work. Vendors: location is used once at Go Live to place a fixed pin. We do not track vehicles or request background location.

No location history

There is deliberately no location-history collection. A live session stores the current public pin and its expiry. When the session ends, the pin is no longer published.

What we collect

Account details you provide, such as your display name, email address, profile photo and account identifier. Your follows and notification preferences. Saved places and any home area you choose. A device notification token if you enable alerts. Vendor profile content, photos and menu items you upload. Limited usage information, such as a profile view, directions tap or search, and crash reports without advertising identifiers.

How we use it

We use this information to operate Spotyoo, show nearby vendors, deliver the alerts you ask for, keep accounts and vendor profiles working, prevent abuse, understand which features are used and respond to support requests. We do not sell personal information.

Who sees it

Vendor profiles, live pins, upcoming stops and public profile pages are public. Followers can see their own follows. A vendor can see the number of its followers and, only where you explicitly opt in when following, the display name and contact details you choose to share. Access to private information is limited to authorized personnel.

Notifications

Push delivery is limited to at most one go-live push per vendor per follower in 20 hours, five pushes per day by default, and quiet hours of 10pm to 8am. Inbox entries are still written when a push is withheld. You can mute a vendor, change the radius, change quiet hours, choose digest-only, or disable notifications in your device settings.

Retention and deletion

We keep information for as long as needed to provide Spotyoo and meet legal obligations. Usage information is aggregated and kept only as long as needed for reporting. You can delete your account in the app from Profile, then Delete account. That removes your account, profile, follows, reminders, notifications and, with your confirmation, any vendor profiles and media you own. Some records may be retained where required for fraud prevention, safety or legal obligations.

Photos and content

Photos and content you upload are stored securely and shown in the app and on public profile pages where you choose to publish them. Do not upload images you do not have the right to use. Vendor profiles and notes are user-generated content. Use the in-app Report action for anything unsafe, fake or inappropriate.

Children

Spotyoo is not directed to children under 13. Age-restricted vendor categories are flagged and hidden from under-18 web views where required. Do not create an account for a child under 13.

Security

We use industry-standard safeguards to protect information in transit and at rest, limit access to authorized personnel and review our practices as the service grows. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. If you believe you have found a security issue, contact hello@spotyoo.com.
