1. Introduction
Local Eyes (localeyes.fun) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and the choices you have. We aim to keep our processing limited, transparent and aligned with the data-protection laws applicable to you.
2. What Personal Information We Collect
2.1 From owners
- First name and email address.

3. How We Use Personal Information

4. Legal Basis for Processing
- Consent — for newsletter sign-up and for non-essential cookies if and when we introduce them.
- Contractual necessity — to operate your owner account and display your listing.
- Legitimate interest — to keep the site secure, prevent abuse and improve the product.
- Voluntary disclosure — for information you choose to publish on your listing.
5. Sharing of Personal Information
We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with operators who help us run the service, under contracts that require them to protect it. Today this means:
- Hosting, database and authentication provider — stores account credentials, listing data and serves the website.
- AI gateway — powers in-product assistant features when you use them.
If we add new operators (for example email delivery, analytics or payment processing) we will update this section before relying on them.
6. Cookies and Tracking
We use a small number of essential and functional cookies. See our Cookie Policy for the full breakdown.
7. Data Retention
| Data type | Retention period |
|---|
| Owner accounts | Until you delete the account, or after 24 months of inactivity |
| Listing data | While the listing is active |
| Newsletter subscriptions | Until you unsubscribe |
| Server logs | 12 months |
| Business correspondence | Up to 5 years |
8. Data Security
- SSL/HTTPS encryption for all traffic to the site.
- Secure managed hosting and database providers.
- Passwords stored only in encrypted (hashed) form.
- Role-based access controls in the owner and admin dashboards.
- Regular automated backups.
9. Your Data-Protection Rights
Subject to the laws that apply to you, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you.
- Correct inaccurate information or request deletion.
- Withdraw consent you have previously given.
- Object to certain processing.
- Request portability of your data in a common format.
To exercise any of these rights, email thecrew@greatwave.pro. We aim to respond within 20 working days.
10. Cross-Border Transfers
Our hosting and processing providers may operate servers in jurisdictions different from yours. Where this is the case, those providers commit to safeguards that meet recognised data-protection standards.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be highlighted on the site, and the "Last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect the most recent revision.
