1. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly to us, as well as data automatically generated through your use of the app.

  • Application Data: Your responses to our membership application, including any preferences or answers used to curate the community.
  • Location Information: With your explicit permission, we collect precise location data to power the live map feature for proximity discovery. You can disable location sharing at any time in your device settings.
  • Usage Data: Information about how you interact with the app, including “waves” sent and received, connections made, and features used (e.g., disappearing chats, screenshot-protected content).
  • Device Information: Device type, operating system, unique device identifiers, and app version.

  • To process your membership application and verify eligibility.
  • To enable core features, including sending and receiving “waves,” displaying the live map, and facilitating connections.
  • To personalize your experience, such as showing profiles and content relevant to your interests.
  • To enforce our anti-algorithm philosophy: we do not use your data for automated matching or ranking algorithms.
  • To communicate with you about app updates, events, and support inquiries.
  • To detect and prevent abuse, fraud, or violations of our terms of service.

3. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience and analyze app performance.

  • Essential Cookies: Required for the app to function, such as maintaining your login session.

  • Preference Cookies: Remember your settings, such as language or notification preferences.

You can manage cookie preferences through your device settings or browser controls. Disabling certain cookies may affect app functionality.

4. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal data. We share information only in the following circumstances:

  • With Your Consent: When you choose to share content (e.g., stories) with other users or publicly.
  • Service Providers: Trusted third parties who help us operate the app (e.g., cloud hosting, analytics, customer support). These providers are bound by confidentiality agreements.
  • Legal Requirements: If required by law, court order, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of Humanity Labs Ltd, our users, or others.
  • Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

5. Data Security and Retention

We implement industry-standard security measures, including encryption in transit and at rest, to protect your data. Features like disappearing chats and screenshot protection are designed to enhance your privacy. We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services. If you delete your account, we will delete your data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law.

Goose is intended for adults aged 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect information from individuals under 18. If we become aware that a minor has provided us with data, we will delete it promptly.

8. International Data Transfers

Your data may be processed in countries where we or our service providers operate. We ensure appropriate safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses, are in place to protect your information.
