This Privacy Policy explains how I They Near You collects, uses, stores and protects information when you use the app, website and related services.
Last updated: October 8, 2026
I They Near You is a local services platform that helps people discover service providers, understand provider information and connect when they are ready.
Primus Praetorian Tech is responsible for the I They Near You service. This policy applies to information processed through the mobile application, website and supporting services associated with I They Near You.
We aim to collect information that is relevant to providing, securing and improving the service. We do not sell personal information.
Some information is necessary to create and secure an account. Other information is collected when you use particular features, such as finding nearby providers, creating a booking or making a payment.
Depending on how you register and use the service, we may process information such as your name, email address, phone number, account identifier, authentication information, account role and verification status.
We use this information to create and maintain your account, authenticate you, communicate with you and protect the service.
I They Near You is designed around local service discovery. Where the relevant feature is used and permission is available, the service may process location information such as latitude and longitude.
Location can be used to help identify relevant service providers, support location-based searches, support service interactions and improve the accuracy of nearby discovery.
Service providers may provide business or professional information such as business name, category, description, profile information, availability, service location, verification status and service-performance information.
Information intended to appear on a provider profile may be visible to other users so they can evaluate whether to connect.
Where identity or provider verification is used, we may process verification information such as identity-document details, document images, selfie images and related verification status.
Verification information is used for purposes such as authentication, provider verification, safety, fraud prevention and moderation.
You may upload profile photos, business images, portfolio material, chat attachments or evidence associated with a dispute or support request.
Uploaded material is processed to provide the feature for which it was submitted and to support safety, moderation and dispute handling where applicable.
If you use booking functionality, we may process information associated with the service request, including the service category, description, service address, relevant location, scheduled time, booking status and related interactions.
This information allows customers and providers to coordinate services and allows us to support disputes, reviews and service history.
When you make a payment or purchase a provider subscription, we process transaction information such as payment reference, provider, amount, currency, payment status and transaction purpose.
Payments are processed through payment service providers. I They Near You does not intentionally store full payment-card details in its application database.
If you communicate through the platform, we may process messages, message metadata and attachments associated with conversations between customers and service providers.
This information is used to enable communication, provide customer support, investigate reports and support legitimate safety or dispute processes.
We may process information needed to send push notifications and verification messages, including push-notification tokens, phone numbers, email addresses and one-time verification codes.
One-time codes are used for account verification, authentication and related security functions.
We may record information about searches and service discovery, such as search terms, selected categories, approximate or precise location associated with a search, and the time of the search.
This information helps provide relevant discovery results, improve service quality and protect the platform from abuse.
Reviews, ratings, comments, reports, dispute descriptions and evidence may be processed when users interact with service providers or report an issue.
These records may be used for moderation, dispute resolution, service integrity, fraud prevention and safety.
When you contact support, we may process the information you provide in your support request, including the subject, description, messages and information needed to resolve the issue.
We use information for purposes connected to operating, securing and improving I They Near You.
We may share information with service providers when necessary to provide a feature, process a transaction, send a verification message, store media or operate the technical infrastructure.
Paystack may process payment transactions and information necessary to complete payments or subscriptions.
Termii may process phone numbers and message information needed to deliver SMS and verification codes.
Cloudinary may process uploaded images and other media used by the platform.
Cloud infrastructure and hosting providers, including Supabase and Render, may process information as necessary to host and operate the service.
Push-notification infrastructure may process notification tokens and information required to deliver notifications to your device.
We may disclose information where reasonably necessary to comply with law, respond to lawful requests, protect users, investigate fraud or abuse, or protect the rights and security of the platform.
We use technical and organizational measures designed to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration and disclosure.
These measures include access controls, authenticated application access, protected infrastructure and encrypted communications where supported by the service.
No internet-connected service can guarantee absolute security. We continuously work to identify and address security risks affecting the platform.
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the service, maintain account security, resolve disputes, prevent fraud and abuse, maintain relevant records, and meet legal or regulatory obligations.
Retention periods may therefore differ depending on the type of information and the reason it was collected.
When information is no longer required for a legitimate purpose, we aim to delete it, anonymize it or otherwise securely dispose of it, subject to applicable legal or security requirements.
Depending on where you live and applicable law, you may have rights relating to access, correction, deletion, restriction or objection to certain processing of your personal information.
You can review and update certain information associated with your account through available app features.
Notification settings may allow you to control certain push-notification preferences.
Device-level permission controls can be used to manage access to location information where supported by your operating system.
You can contact us about privacy, access, correction or deletion requests using the contact information below.
I They Near You provides an account deletion process for users who no longer want to use the service. Account deletion is separate from simply disabling or suspending an account.
Information associated with a deleted account will be deleted or otherwise handled according to our deletion process, subject to information that we may be required or permitted to retain for legitimate purposes such as fraud prevention, security, dispute handling or legal obligations.
I They Near You is not designed to knowingly collect personal information from children in circumstances where doing so would violate applicable law. If you believe that a child has provided personal information improperly, please contact us so that we can review the situation and take appropriate action.
The service is designed to support users and providers in different locations and countries.
Depending on where you live and where our infrastructure or service providers operate, information may be processed in a country different from your own.
We take reasonable steps to protect information while it is being processed and apply applicable privacy and data protection requirements to our operations.
We may update this Privacy Policy when our services, technology, legal obligations or data practices change. When we make material changes, we will update the date shown at the top of this page and may provide additional notice where appropriate.
