Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 25, 2026

NearByMe ("NearByMe", "we", "our", or "us") operates https://www.nearbyme.site . NearByMe is a location-based platform that helps users discover nearby places and services by category, location, search radius, and optional keywords.

This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when you visit or use NearByMe, how that information may be used, how location information may be processed, how cookies and similar technologies may be used, and the choices available to you.

By accessing or using NearByMe, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this policy, please discontinue use of the website.

Information We Collect

The information collected by NearByMe depends on how you use the website and the features you choose to use. We may receive information that you voluntarily provide, technical information collected automatically, search information required to provide location-based results, and location information when you choose to use location-based features.

Information You Provide

If you voluntarily contact us, submit information through a form, or otherwise communicate with us, we may receive the information you choose to provide, such as your name, email address, message, or other information included in your communication.

You can generally browse publicly available NearByMe pages without creating an account or directly providing personal information.

Search and Location Information

NearByMe provides location-based search functionality. When you search for nearby places, information entered into the search interface may be processed to provide the requested results.

This may include information such as a selected location, place or address entered into the search field, selected category, search radius, keywords, and geographic coordinates associated with the selected search location.

This information is used to perform the search you request and to provide relevant nearby-place results, maps, distances, and related location functionality.

Device Location and Precise Geographic Information

NearByMe may offer a Use My Location feature that allows you to search for places around your current device location. This feature requires your browser or device to provide location information to the website.

Your current location is not required for ordinary browsing or for manually searching another location. You can choose to enter or select a location instead of using your device's current location.

If you choose to use your current location, the location information may include geographic coordinates such as latitude and longitude. This information is used to provide the location-based functionality you requested, including nearby-place searches, map positioning, distance calculations, and routing features where available.

NearByMe does not require you to provide precise location information simply to browse the website. Your browser or device normally asks for permission before providing precise location information to a website.

You can control or revoke location permissions through your browser or device settings. If location permission is denied, some location-based features may not be available, but you may continue to use manually entered locations where supported.

How Location Information Is Used

When you choose a location-based feature, location information may be used to:

• Find nearby places around the selected location.
• Filter available places according to the selected search radius.
• Display the search location and nearby places on a map.
• Calculate geographic distances between locations.
• Provide available route and directions functionality.
• Provide other location-based functionality that you explicitly request.

NearByMe uses location information for the purposes described above and does not require precise device location for ordinary browsing.

Information Collected Automatically

When you access NearByMe, certain technical information may be automatically received by our servers, hosting providers, security services, analytics providers, or other service providers.

This information may include your IP address, browser type, operating system, device type, referring page, requested pages, access time, approximate geographic information derived from an IP address, and other standard technical information.

Technical information may be used to operate, maintain, secure, troubleshoot, monitor, and improve NearByMe, as well as to detect abuse, fraudulent activity, security problems, or technical errors.

Nearby Place Search

NearByMe uses location and search information to retrieve and present available nearby places. Depending on the search you perform, the service may process information such as the selected location, geographic coordinates, category, keyword, and search radius.

Place results may include information such as business or facility name, category, address, geographic location, distance, telephone number, website, opening information, and other publicly available place details where available.

The availability and completeness of place information can vary between locations and individual businesses or organizations.
