RightNow ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use the RightNow mobile application (the "App"), including all features such as group vibes, group chat, private messaging, voice calls, photo sharing, location-based discovery, map view, vibe history, and check-in.
Please read this policy carefully. If you disagree with its terms, please discontinue use of the App.
We collect your device's approximate location when you use the App to show you nearby vibes, calculate distances, display vibes on the map, and suggest meeting points. Location data is used in real time and is not stored on our servers beyond your active session. Your precise coordinates are transmitted to Apple CloudKit only to match you with vibes within your area.
RightNow does not require account creation. You may optionally provide a display name, emoji avatar, profile photo, and a short bio. This information is stored locally on your device and is visible to other vibe participants during chats. It is not linked to any external identity, email address, or iCloud account.
Messages sent in group vibe chats are transmitted to all participants of that vibe via Apple CloudKit's public database. Messages are visible to anyone who has joined the same vibe. Group chat messages are automatically removed when the vibe expires.
Private chat requests and messages are transmitted between two users via Apple CloudKit. Private messages are stored only for the duration of the active private conversation.
RightNow offers free peer-to-peer voice calling between users connected in a private chat. Voice call signalling (offer, answer, hang-up signals) is transmitted via Apple CloudKit and deleted immediately after use — within 60 seconds maximum. Audio is transmitted directly between devices using Apple's Network framework over WiFi or cellular. We do not record, store, intercept, or retain any audio from voice calls at any time.
If you choose to share photos in a group vibe chat, those photos are uploaded to Apple CloudKit as secure assets and are visible to all participants of that vibe. Photos are removed when the associated vibe expires. Profile photos are stored locally on your device only and are never uploaded.
A record of vibes you have joined or attended is stored locally on your device only. This data is never transmitted to our servers. You may delete individual history entries or clear your entire history at any time within the App.
If you grant notification permission, your device push token is stored in Apple CloudKit associated with your anonymous user ID. This token is used solely to deliver notifications for incoming voice calls, private chat requests, and private messages. You may revoke notification permission at any time in your device Settings.
The App uses Apple CloudKit anonymous authentication. A unique anonymous identifier is generated by Apple and stored locally on your device. This identifier is used to associate your in-app activity. It is never linked to your Apple ID, email address, or any other real-world identity.
We may collect anonymised, aggregated analytics data to improve app performance, including crash reports via Apple's crash reporting system. This data does not contain personally identifiable information and cannot be used to identify individual users.
RightNow uses Apple CloudKit as its backend infrastructure. All transmitted data is stored in Apple's secure cloud, subject to Apple's privacy policies and data protection practices. Apple CloudKit is GDPR-compliant. We do not have access to your iCloud credentials. CloudKit data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest.
The following record types are stored in our CloudKit public database:
We do not sell, trade, rent, or otherwise transfer your personal data to third parties for marketing or commercial purposes. Data is shared only in the following limited circumstances:
You may request deletion of any data associated with your anonymous CloudKit account by contacting us at Support@chmays.app.

RightNow is not intended for users under the age of 13 (or 16 in the European Economic Area). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under these ages. If you believe a child has used the App, please contact us at Support@chmays.app and we will delete their data immediately.
We do not integrate any third-party advertising networks, analytics SDKs, social login services, or payment processors. If a subscription is introduced in the future, it will be processed entirely through Apple's StoreKit system and this policy will be updated accordingly.
RightNow is currently free. We may introduce an optional Pro subscription in a future update. Before any paid features are activated, we will update this Privacy Policy and the Terms of Service, and notify users within the App. Any payment processing will be handled entirely by Apple's in-app purchase system — we will never collect payment card information directly.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the App after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
