Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Nautir ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application and related services.

2. Information We Collect

Information You Provide

• Account information (name, email, date of birth)
• Profile information (photos, bio, travel preferences)
• Sailing information (cruise ship, dates, ports)
• Messages and communications with other users
• Verification data (government ID and liveness check, required for all users)

Information Collected Automatically

• Device information (device type, operating system)
• Usage data (features used, interactions)
• Log data (access times, app crashes)
• Privacy protection events (screenshot/recording attempts on protected screens)

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

• Provide and maintain our services
• Match you with other users on your sailing
• Send you notifications about matches and messages
• Improve and personalize your experience
• Ensure safety and prevent fraud
• Moderate content using AI-powered scanning
• Protect user privacy through screenshot/recording detection
• Comply with legal obligations

4. Automated Content Moderation

To keep Nautir safe for everyone, all uploaded photos are automatically scanned using AI-powered content moderation before they become visible to other users.

What We Scan For

• Explicit content: Nudity, sexual activity, or graphic material
• Violence: Gore, weapons in threatening contexts, or disturbing imagery
• Hate symbols: Imagery promoting hate or terrorism
• Minor safety: Any content that may involve minors (zero tolerance)

How It Works

• Photos are analyzed instantly when you upload them
• Approved photos appear on your profile immediately
• Rejected photos are automatically deleted and never shown to other users
• You'll receive a clear explanation if a photo is rejected

What's Allowed

Since Nautir is designed for cruise travelers, we understand beach and pool photos are common. Swimwear, casual vacation attire, and tasteful photos are welcome. We only block explicit content that violates community standards.

Third-Party Processing

Content moderation is powered by industry-leading AI services. Your photos are processed securely, and moderation results (pass/fail) are stored to improve our systems. The AI provider does not retain your images after processing.

5. Sailing-Bounded Data & Automatic Deletion

Your profile and interactions are tied to specific sailings. We've designed Nautir with privacy-first data retention:

• During your sailing: Your profile and chats are active and visible to matches
• When sailing ends: Chats become read-only and all chat photos are automatically deleted from our servers
• 30 days after sailing: All chat messages are permanently purged from our systems

This means your conversations don't live on our servers forever. What happens on your cruise stays on your cruise.

6. View-Once & Ephemeral Photos

Photos shared in chat have multiple layers of privacy protection:

View-Once Photos

When you send a view-once photo, it is immediately and permanently deleted from our servers the moment the recipient views it. Not after 24 hours—instantly. The recipient sees it once, and it's gone forever.

Regular Chat Photos

Standard photos shared in chat are automatically deleted when your sailing ends (return date). They cannot be recovered and are permanently removed from our storage systems.

We don't keep your photos longer than necessary. Your privacy isn't our storage bill.

7. Screenshot & Screen Recording Protection

To protect user privacy, Nautir implements screenshot and screen recording protection on sensitive screens (profiles, chats, matches).

On iOS

• Screenshots are detected and logged (screenshots themselves cannot be prevented on iOS)
• Screen recording triggers a blur overlay to obscure content
• Content is obscured in the app switcher

On Android

• Screenshots and screen recordings are blocked at the system level

We log privacy events (such as screenshot attempts) to detect patterns of abuse. Users who exhibit excessive screenshot or recording behavior may be flagged for review. These logs do not capture the actual screenshot content—only metadata about the event (screen visited, timestamp, device platform).

8. Age & Identity Verification

Nautir requires Age & Identity Verification (18+) for all users to ensure a safe, adults-only environment. Our verification process:

• Requires a government-issued ID and a quick liveness check
• Your documents are processed by our verification partner (Didit) and never stored by Nautir
• Nautir receives only the verification result (pass/fail) and confirmed age
• You'll receive a verified badge on your profile confirming your identity

Verified Badge (Premium): Premium users can optionally earn a Verified Badge through additional biometric verification. This confirms that your profile photos are really you through selfie matching—no catfish allowed.

9. Data Sharing

We may share your information with:

• Other users on your sailing (profile information only)
• Service providers who assist our operations (hosting, analytics, verification)
• Law enforcement when required by law

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

10. Data Security

We implement appropriate security measures to protect your information, including encryption in transit and at rest, row-level security on database tables, and rate limiting to prevent abuse. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access your personal information
• Correct inaccurate data
• Delete your account and data
• Opt out of marketing communications
• Request a copy of your data

12. Age Restriction

Nautir is for users 18 years and older only. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If we learn we have collected personal information from someone under 18, we will delete it.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
