1. Overview
P!NG ("the Service") is a location-based social discovery service. This policy explains what
information we collect, why, and how we protect it.
The Service is operated by Snake Steak (A Paprika company).
2. Information We Collect
| Item | Why | Storage |
|---|---|---|
| Email or social login identifier | Account creation | Server |
| Nickname, age, interests | Profile shown to others | Server |
| Approximate location | Discovering nearby signals | See §3 — raw coordinates are never stored |
| Device push token | Notifications | Server |
| Profile photos | Profile display | Server |
3. How We Handle Location (Important)
The Service is location-based, but it never stores or shares your precise coordinates.
- Coordinates obtained on device are quantized to grid cells before and after reaching our
servers. Raw coordinates are not stored.
- What other users see is not your real position but a virtual anchor — a fixed point derived
only from you and a coarse zone. It is deliberately different from your actual location.
- Distances are shown as buckets (e.g. within 300m, 300–800m), never exact values.
- Nothing is revealed unless a minimum number of candidates are present (k-anonymity).
- The map view is also centered on a grid-cell center, not your exact position.
4. Processors
We do not sell personal information. We use the following processors:
- Cloudflare — servers, database, file storage
- Apple / Google — push notifications (APNs · FCM), social sign-in
- Kakao — social sign-in (optional)
5. Retention and Deletion
Deleting your account removes your profile, photos, and conversations. Records we are legally
required to retain are stored separately for the required period, then destroyed.
6. Your Rights
You may request access, correction, deletion, or suspension of processing at any time via in-app
settings or the contact below. The Service is not available to anyone under 18.
