For this our app sends your geo location periodically to our server. This allows us to response with a photo and nick name from other users nearby or logged in with a matching geo location.
Our app allows you to send own photos together with your geo location and your nick name to our server. These photos will be distributed to all users of the service with a matching geo location for a short time (several minutes).
These data are stored on our server for a short time (several minutes) to serve our users. After this time these data will be deleted from the server and can not be received by others anymore.
Users with the Plus Function can store received photos on there device.
Users with the Plus Function also can view the photos on a web browser.
Do not send photos which should not be public visible as every user of our service with a matching geo loaction will receive your photos.
For additional protection of your photos users with Plus Function can protect their photos with an additional PIN but Bytelovers does not guarantee that this mechanism works under all conditions.
