Privacy.

Who is responsible

NearZero is a personal project run by Aleksandar Golubović, Serbia. He is the controller of the data described here. Contact: [email protected].

What we collect

If you sign up for the private beta:

• your email address;
• your name, if you choose to give one;
• which platforms you would test;
• if you choose the iOS client, the email address of your Apple Account (Apple ID), which TestFlight sends its invitation to;
• a one-line note about how you would use NearZero;
• whether you have confirmed your email address;
• your approval status (pending, approved, rejected, revoked);
• when you signed up, confirmed, and first opened your personal access link;
• a log of which files you downloaded and when.

Technical data:

• The IP address of a sign-up request is used briefly for rate limiting and is not stored with your record.
• The web server keeps standard access logs (IP address, time, requested page, status). They are kept for 14 days and then deleted.

Cookies

Two, both strictly necessary, so there is no consent banner:

• nz_access — your personal beta access. Lasts one year.
• An admin session cookie, used only by the maintainer to run the beta.

No analytics, no trackers, no third-party scripts or embeds.

Why, and on what basis

To run the private beta and to contact testers about it. The basis is your consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a); Serbia’s Law on Personal Data Protection works the same way). You can withdraw consent at any time, which ends your participation and deletes your record.

Who processes it

Two kinds of provider handle data on our behalf: our hosting provider (the server this site runs on) and our email delivery provider (the SMTP service that sends you confirmation and invite emails). We will name them on request. Your data is never sold or shared for marketing.

If you choose the iOS client, we give Apple your Apple ID email and the name you entered when you are approved, through App Store Connect, so that TestFlight can invite you to test the app. Apple then handles it under its own privacy policy. When your access is revoked we remove you from the TestFlight group, and when your record is deleted we delete you as a tester in App Store Connect as well.

How long we keep it

• Sign-ups you never confirm are deleted after 7 days.
• Confirmed records are kept until the private beta ends, then the beta database is deleted. The public release will not collect email at all.
• Every email we send contains a link to leave the beta; using it deletes your record immediately.
• Web server access logs: 14 days.

Your rights

You can ask for access to your data, correction, deletion, or withdraw your consent, by emailing [email protected]. You can also complain to a supervisory authority: in Serbia, the Commissioner for Information of Public Importance and Personal Data Protection; if you are in the EU, your local data protection authority.

What the software does

NearZero streams between your own devices, end-to-end encrypted. The optional rendezvous server is one you host yourself. nearzero.app never sees your sessions or what is on your screen.

Changes

If this page changes, the date above changes. When the public release ships, this policy will be replaced.
