Oblikio Privacy

Privacy Policy

This policy explains what Oblikio processes, why location is part of the experience, what is and is not shown on the map, and how users can protect their privacy while meeting people around the world.
Last updated: 17 May 2026

1. What this policy covers

This Privacy Policy explains how Oblikio handles information when you create an account, appear on the live map, send messages, use translation, report users, manage friendships, block someone, and use paid visibility features.

2. Why Oblikio uses location

Location is the heart of the experience. The purpose of Oblikio is to let people see a living world map, discover users who are online in different places, and start spontaneous conversations across countries and cultures.

Location is not requested with the intention of tracking, hunting, exposing, harming, or facilitating stalking, kidnapping, harassment, or any other malicious behavior. The service is designed for social discovery, not for targeting people.

3. Information the service may process

Depending on how you use the platform, Oblikio may process:

  • Account data: user ID, unique nickname, display name, password hash, language, age and birth date entered during registration.
  • Profile data: profile photo, country or flag information, and visibility plan status.
  • Live location data: coordinates supplied by your browser after you allow location permission, used to place your marker on the map while you are using the service.
  • Messages and interaction data: global chat messages, private messages sent for delivery, friend requests, friendships, blocked-user lists, and reports.
  • Technical and security data: IP address, login session tokens, connection records, rate-limit signals, moderation records, and anti-abuse information.
  • Payment confirmation data: PayPal order or capture identifiers, plan, amount, currency, transaction status, and activation timing needed to enable paid visibility features.

4. What the map shows — and what it does not show

The map may show your live marker, display name, profile photo, and related public presence information according to the visibility logic of the service.

The service does not create or display a travel route, movement history, itinerary, phone number, home address, document number, or private contact information by itself. The marker reflects the location currently supplied by your browser for the live experience.

If you personally choose to share a phone number, social media, exact address, daily routine, or other private details in conversation, that disclosure comes from you, not from the map itself.

5. When your location disappears

Your marker is intended to remain visible only while you are online and actively using the service. When you leave, log out, close the page, or lose the connection, the marker is removed after the system detects the disconnection.

In cases of sudden network loss or an unexpected device shutdown, there may be a brief technical delay before the service recognizes that you are offline and removes the marker.

The current service is not designed to build a public route history or a public timeline of where you have moved.

6. How to protect your privacy while chatting

Oblikio connects people who may not know each other. To reduce risk, do not share sensitive personal information with strangers.

  • Do not send your phone number, private social media, home address, workplace, school, routine, or live plans unless you truly trust the person.
  • Do not send documents, passwords, bank data, one-time codes, intimate images, or money.
  • Be cautious if someone pressures you to move the conversation to another app, meet quickly, or reveal where you are.
  • Use block and report tools whenever a conversation feels invasive, manipulative, threatening, or suspicious.

7. Messages, translation, reports, and moderation

Messages may be processed in real time so they can be delivered to other users and, when automatic translation is enabled, translated for users who speak another language.

The platform may keep limited recent global chat data for the live chat experience and may process reports, moderation evidence, and operational records needed to investigate abuse or protect users.

Reports can include the reason selected, optional details typed by the reporting user, identifiers of the involved accounts, and technical information relevant to moderation.

8. Why the data is used

Oblikio uses information to:

  • Create and authenticate accounts.
  • Show live map presence and enable location-based discovery.
  • Deliver messages and support translation.
  • Manage profile changes, friendships, blocking, and reports.
  • Prevent spam, abusive automation, fraud, and security threats.
  • Operate moderation and account enforcement tools.
  • Activate paid visibility features and verify payment status.
  • Maintain reliability, backups, and service continuity where applicable.

9. Payments and external service providers

Payments for visibility features may be processed by PayPal. Oblikio does not need to receive or store your full card number or PayPal password. It stores only payment confirmation information needed to verify the purchase and activate the feature.

When automatic translation is enabled, message text may be sent to the configured translation service solely to generate the translated version needed for the conversation.

Hosting, storage, monitoring, and infrastructure providers may also process limited information as necessary to keep the service online and secure.

10. Browser storage and device data

The service may store limited information locally in your browser, such as session status, session token, language preference, selected interface settings, profile image reference, and information needed to keep the experience consistent between pages.

You can clear browser storage using your browser settings, but doing so may log you out or reset local preferences.

11. Retention

Account information may be removed when an account is deleted or according to inactivity rules. The current service logic may delete accounts that remain inactive for approximately five months.

Session records may expire after a limited period. Reports, moderation records, IP bans, security records, backups, and payment confirmation records may be kept when reasonably necessary to protect users, prevent abuse, verify purchases, or comply with applicable obligations.

12. Choices, deletion, and user rights

You may choose not to grant browser location permission, although that may prevent you from appearing on the live map. You may also delete your account through the account deletion flow available in the service.

Depending on applicable law, you may have rights related to access, correction, deletion, objection, and information about how your data is handled. Before public launch, the operator should publish an official privacy contact channel for these requests.

13. Security, age limits, and policy updates

The service uses measures such as password hashing, session tokens, rate limits, access restrictions, moderation controls, and security practices intended to reduce misuse. No online service can guarantee absolute security, so users should also protect their passwords and devices.

Oblikio is intended exclusively for people aged 18 or older. The service was not designed for children, teenagers, or minors.

Do not create an account or use the platform if you are under 18. If we identify use by a minor, the account may be reviewed and removed.

This policy may be updated as the service evolves. Material changes should appear in the published policy so users can understand the current practices.
