The International mode allows you to look for people in other places. This feature becomes useful when you don't find people on Google Maps. We may collect user information in order to provide our Services. The information may help us to develop and improve the product better as well as protecting the product and Services.

Edit age

However, to use Zoom In you must be at least 18 years old.

Such actions violate the Zoom In's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy and we will delete your account and information on the server immediately. If you are not at least 18 years old, you must delete your account and exit the application.

Control your location

Zoom In makes it possible to remove your location from Settings. When you do this, your location and photo will be removed on Google Maps and nobody can find you anymore.

Once you decide to be active, you should turn this feature off in your Settings. Please keep in mind that Zoom In cannot promise that all features work flawlessly and removing your location is no exception. However, Zoom In always makes sure that essential features work properly.

Social media profiles

Zoom In allows you to share your social media profiles with other users. You're fully responsible to ensure that the profile that you share belongs to you and not someone else's. As of today, we do not have an authentication system to ensure that the profile you're sharing belongs to you, therefore, by sharing a social media profile you accept and consent that the profile belongs to you and people who are your friends in Zoom In can view your profiles in TikTok, Facebook or Instagram.

Revoke permissions

When you are using full functionalities of Zoom In it means that you have granted all the necessary permissions. You can simply revoke these permissions by changing them in your device settings. Certain Services may lose full functionality if you do that and the application may not behave accordingly.
