Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 5, 2026 · Applies to Scene app and kiyascene.com

1. Overview

Scene coordinates real-world meetups through trust-centric peer curation. We do not track users across the web or sell profile data to third-party advertisers. We collect only what's needed to verify accounts, compute safety and trust signals, map nearby plans, and enable private communication.

2. Biometric & Identity Data

At signup, we collect an unedited face photo and process it against your profile picture using self-hosted facial feature extraction to confirm identity consistency.

Selfie images and verification metadata are stored securely, accessible only to administrators and review teams for audit trails - never shared publicly or exposed to other users.

3. Geolocation

We collect and store your approximate location when you open the app or share a coordination point. This is used to calculate proximity to nearby scenes and partner venues.

Precise coordinates are never shared with public users - only shown as a randomised general distance, or shared explicitly with mutual connections when you opt into a plan.

4. Encrypted Messages

Messages between connections use client-side end-to-end encryption (X25519 public/private keypairs stored on-device). Scene servers store encrypted payloads only and cannot read message content.

5. Account Integrity & Trust

We collect social handles (Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter/X) and peer vouch records (giver, receiver, comment) to evaluate trust scores. Referral and invite graphs are tracked to verify authentic local connections.

6. Your Right to Delete

Account deletion requests result in deactivation and deletion of your profile details, KYC selfies, trust vouches, and encryption keys within 30 days, subject to retention required for legal disputes or safety audits.

To request deletion, email yaar@kiyascene.app.
