Location permissions

Lokly is built around nearby discovery, local communities, and hyperlocal activity.

Some platform experiences may use location-related information to help surface more relevant content, Signals, businesses, alerts, and nearby updates.

Location permissions may affect how certain features function across the platform.

Some experiences may vary depending on:
- device settings
- browser permissions
- app version
- account type
- rollout stage
- supported regions

How location is used

Lokly may use approximate or selected location information to:
- personalize local feeds
- improve nearby discovery
- surface relevant Signals
- show area-based updates
- recommend nearby businesses or creators
- improve local relevance

Some features may continue working with limited functionality if location permissions are disabled.

Area-based experiences

Lokly currently focuses on local and nearby experiences.

Depending on your setup, the platform may use:
- selected areas
- city information
- approximate location
- manually entered location details

to improve local content visibility and recommendations.

Area support and location-based experiences may expand over time as Lokly evolves.

Device and browser permissions

Location permissions are managed through your device or browser settings.

If location access is denied:
- some nearby recommendations may become less accurate
- local Signals may be limited
- certain discovery experiences may change
- some nearby alerts may not appear

You can update location permissions at any time through supported device or browser controls.

Signals and nearby alerts

Some Signals and Live Alerts may use nearby relevance systems to determine visibility and notifications.

Depending on your settings, Lokly may use location-related information to:
- surface urgent local activity
- improve nearby recommendations
- reduce unrelated alerts
- improve local feed relevance

Notification behavior may vary depending on:
- notification preferences
- platform version
- supported areas
- nearby activity levels

Privacy and safety

Lokly is designed to prioritize local relevance while continuing to improve privacy and safety systems.

Some location-related systems may use:
- approximate areas
- selected locations
- generalized nearby activity

instead of precise real-time tracking.

Location systems and privacy controls may continue evolving as the platform expands.

Feature availability

Location-based features, Signals, recommendations, and nearby experiences may vary depending on:
- your region
- account type
- app version
- rollout stage
- supported platform features

Lokly is continuously evolving over time.
