FlukelloPrivacy
Your check-ins stay private. Explore the details below.
Five protected layers.
You choose when to check in.
Location is requested when you tap Check in. Flukello uses a rounded area for matching, rather than a searchable list of people or exact venue pins. Exact coordinates are not displayed to other members.
A quick check-in. A short pause.
Checking in starts eligibility to receive notes. Writing a note requires a 20-second wait in this beta. Ordinary notes match rounded check-in locations within a 500 m radius and a one-hour timing window. follower notes require a matching check-in and remain active for three days; Stealth excludes follower-note delivery through that check-in.
Notes are temporary.
Unaccepted location-linked notes expire after 72 hours. Accepted notes remain in the participants’ private conversations. Withdrawing a note stops new acceptances without deleting existing chats.
Identity stays hidden.
Ordinary encounter notes do not display the sender’s name or avatar before acceptance. People you follow can see the profile details shared with them. Your email, exact coordinates and private check-in history are not shown to other members.
Conversation requires consent.
Only a recipient’s explicit acceptance can open in-app conversation. Passing is silent. Blocking and reporting remain available.
Minimum data, clear purpose.
Waitlist data
For beta invitations, we collect the first name, email address, city, confirmation of adult status and consent record submitted through the waitlist.
Authentication data
Email codes are used to verify access. Your email is not shown to other members. Technical security records may be retained by the hosting platform to operate and protect authentication.
Location data
After you tap Check in, the beta asks the browser for your location and checks it again when the 20-second posting timer finishes. The browser converts the result into a one-way rounded-area token. Flukello stores area tokens, rounded area coordinates, a label and check-in times for eligibility. It does not store the raw GPS coordinates.
Sharing
We do not design Flukello to sell location history or expose it to other members. Information may still be processed by infrastructure providers that operate hosting, authentication and email delivery, subject to their service terms.
Retention and deletion
Unaccepted notes stop appearing in inboxes and on the note map after three days. Expiry does not automatically erase all stored records or existing conversations. Check-ins and account records remain stored until removed. Signed-in members can open Privacy → Delete account after a fresh sign-in. Typed confirmation and acknowledgement are required. Deletion removes the account, check-ins, notes, follows and associated conversations, including their messages for both participants. This cannot be undone. Technical security logs or backups may remain under the hosting provider’s retention rules. You can also request access, correction or deletion below.
Private-beta terms.
Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old. Invitations may be limited by city, capacity and testing needs, and may be withdrawn if the service is misused.
Respectful use
- No threats, harassment, stalking, hate, sexual coercion or repeated unwanted contact.
- No names, contact details or invasive physical descriptions in recipient clues.
- No impersonation, automated submissions or attempts to bypass location eligibility.
- No screenshots or redistribution of private notes or conversations without permission.
Experimental service
The beta may contain errors, change without notice or be temporarily unavailable. Features shown as previews are not promises that secure production matching is already active.
Enforcement
Reported content may be hidden, and access may be suspended or removed to protect members and the integrity of the test. Serious threats should be reported to local emergency authorities; Flukello is not an emergency service.
No guarantee of a match
Flukello does not guarantee that a particular person uses the service, sees a note, accepts contact or is the person described.
Make a privacy request.
Ask to access, correct or delete your waitlist or account information. Requests are saved for manual review; submitting this form does not immediately export or delete data. We may verify account ownership before acting.
Following and check-in alerts
Accounts start private. New followers need approval unless you choose a public account. Following is one-way; private recipient notes require you to follow each other. A follower can enable a bell for future check-ins. These alerts contain no place name, map position or coordinates. Stealth check-ins never create these alerts. Unfollow, remove or block stops the relevant alerts. Removing or blocking someone sends no notification.
