This privacy policy applies to the Townly app (hereby referred to as "Application") for mobile devices that was created by mert demirkiran (hereby referred to as "Service Provider") as a Free service. This service is intended for use "AS IS".
The Application collects information when you download and use it. This information may include:
When you choose to detect your area, the Application collects your device's location (latitude and longitude) in order to determine your district. That location and the resulting district name may be stored with your profile so the Application can show the local chat and feed for your area. The Application does not collect your location in the background and does not track your movements over time.
The Application does not use Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies to process your data or provide features.
The Service Provider may use the information you provided to operate the Application, keep your account secure, deliver notifications, and contact you with important information and required notices about the service.
For a better experience, while using the Application, the Service Provider may require you to provide certain personally identifiable information, including your name, email address, nickname, profile photo, location when you detect your area, and the content you post or send. The information that the Service Provider requests will be retained and used as described in this privacy policy.
The Service Provider uses trusted service providers to host accounts, store content, deliver notifications, and diagnose crashes. These providers process information on behalf of the Service Provider so the Application can function.
The Application utilizes third-party services that have their own privacy policies about handling data. Below are the links to the privacy policies of the third-party service providers used by the Application:
The Service Provider may disclose User Provided and Automatically Collected Information:
Other users of the Application can see information you choose to share with them, such as your display name, nickname, profile photo, district, posts, comments, and messages you send in chats.
You can stop all collection of information by the Application by uninstalling it. You may use the standard uninstall process available on your mobile device or via the mobile application marketplace. Uninstalling the Application does not delete your account. To delete your account and the data stored with it, follow the steps on the account deletion page, use the delete account option in the Application, or contact the Service Provider at the email address below.
You can decline location permission. Without it, the Application cannot detect your district automatically. You can also turn off notifications in your device settings.
The Service Provider will retain User Provided data for as long as you use the Application and for a reasonable time thereafter. If you delete your account in the Application, the Service Provider will delete your account data from their servers. If you would like them to delete User Provided Data that you have provided via the Application, please contact them at dk.mert95@gmail.com and they will respond in a reasonable time. Messages and posts you sent to other people may remain visible to those people where deleting them would remove content from another user's conversation or feed.
The Service Provider does not use the Application to knowingly solicit data from or market to children under the age of 13.
The Application does not address anyone under the age of 13. The Service Provider does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13 years of age. If the Service Provider discovers that a child under 13 has provided personal information, the Service Provider will delete that information from their servers. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided personal information, please contact the Service Provider (dk.mert95@gmail.com) so that they will be able to take the necessary actions.
The Service Provider is concerned about safeguarding the confidentiality of your information. The Service Provider provides electronic and procedural safeguards to protect information the Service Provider processes and maintains. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and the Service Provider cannot guarantee absolute security.
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time for any reason. The Service Provider will notify you of any changes to the Privacy Policy by updating this page with the new Privacy Policy. You are advised to consult this Privacy Policy regularly for any changes, as continued use is deemed approval of all changes.
This privacy policy is effective as of 2026-10-29
By using the Application, you are consenting to the processing of your information as set forth in this Privacy Policy now and as amended by us.
