Privacy

Private by design, not by setting

Your location leaves your phone sealed for the one person who asked. LOOP's server passes it on without being able to read it, and keeps no copy. There's no account to hack, no location history to leak, and nothing to sell.

You see every look
Privacy

Encryption, simply

  1. Keys are made on your phone

    Each phone makes its own key pair. The private half never leaves it.

  2. Your location is sealed

    Sealed with the asker's public key (P-256 and AES-256-GCM).

  3. Only their phone opens it

    LOOP's server passes the sealed message on and keeps nothing.

No sign-up

Just a private LOOP ID. No phone number, no email, no password.

Nothing in the background

LOOP wakes only when someone asks, takes one reading and stops.

End-to-end encrypted

Sealed on your phone for the person who asked. Even our server can't read it.

You see every look

Every share leaves a receipt, and your privacy log keeps them all.
