Privacy Policy

Kaloqa is a local discovery app that helps you find places worth going to — restaurants, coffee shops, bars, and experiences — based on what locals actually recommend. We are operated by Kronologix LLC ("we," "us," or "our").

Information you give us

• Email address — used to send you a sign-in link. We do not store your password because we do not use passwords.
• Display name — optional name you set during onboarding.
• Age confirmation — if you access drink venue recommendations, you will be asked to confirm you are 21 or older. We record only that you confirmed, not your date of birth. We do not verify age independently and rely on your honest acknowledgment.
• Home city — the city you set as your base for local recommendations.
• Feedback and tips — any text you submit through the feedback form or place tips feature.

Information we collect automatically

• Location — your GPS coordinates, used only to find places near you at the moment of each search. We do not store your precise location history. Your location is used in real time and then discarded.
• Usage data — actions you take in the app (searches performed, places tapped, "Go" taps). Stored anonymously or linked to your account to improve recommendations.
• Device identifier — a unique ID for your device, used for push notification delivery and to link usage data to your account when you sign in.
• Push notification token — if you grant permission, used to send you place-related nudges. You can disable this in your device settings at any time.

Information about places you visit

• Journey entries — when you tap "Go" on a place, we create a record. You can confirm, edit, or delete these from your My Kaloqa tab. This data is never shared publicly without your explicit action.
• Loved places — places you rate as Loved. Visible only to you unless you choose to share your public Picks page.

• Deliver and improve place recommendations
• Send sign-in links to your email
• Verify age acknowledgment for age-restricted content (drinks, 21+)
• Send optional push notifications about your recent visits
• Understand how the app is being used so we can improve it
• Respond to feedback you submit

We do not use your information for advertising. We do not sell your data to anyone.

We share data only with the services that power Kaloqa:

No other parties receive your data. We do not share with advertisers, data brokers, or analytics platforms beyond what is listed above.

• Account data — kept as long as your account is active.
• Journey entries and loved places — kept until you delete them or delete your account.
• Usage events — retained for up to 24 months for product improvement purposes, then deleted.
• Feedback submissions — retained indefinitely to improve the product.

When you delete your account, we delete your profile, journey entries, loved places, and linked personal data within 30 days.

• Access your data — view your journey history and loved places in the My Kaloqa tab.
• Delete entries — remove individual journey entries or loved places at any time.
• Update your information — change your display name or home city in Settings.
• Delete your account — go to Settings → Reset → Delete account. This removes your profile and all associated data.
• Opt out of push notifications — disable in your device's notification settings.
• Opt out of location — deny location permission. You can still use the app by entering your location manually.

Kaloqa is intended for use in the United States only. We do not knowingly offer services to users in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or other jurisdictions outside the United States. If you are located outside the United States, please do not use this app.
