Privacy is a product feature, not a footnote.

Rome is designed so people can reconnect after real-world proximity without exposing live location, historical routes, or a public map of nearby users.

1. Information We Collect

Account Information: When you sign up via Apple Sign In, we receive your name and email address. We also collect profile information you choose to provide, such as photos, prompts, and preferences.

Proximity Data: We use Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to detect nearby Rome users. This involves exchanging anonymous, rotating identifiers. We do not collect GPS or precise location data.

2. How We Use Data

We use your data solely to provide the Rome service, including matching you with people you've encountered, facilitating messaging between matches, and improving app performance. We do not sell your personal data to third parties.

3. Data Retention

Bluetooth interaction logs (the "sightings" of other anonymous devices) are anonymous and randomly generated and can only be used by the server to resolve a match.

4. Your Control and Deletion Rights

You have full control over your data. You can edit your profile at any time. You can delete your account and all associated data (photos, messages, matches) directly within the App Settings. Once deleted, this data cannot be recovered.

5. Safety and Moderation

To keep Rome safe, we allow users to report and block others. Reported content may be reviewed by our team to ensure compliance with our community standards.
