Terms of Use &
Privacy Policy
Our Principles
Most companies that ask you to read their Terms of Use and Privacy Policy are hoping you won't. The documents are long by design. They are written by lawyers to protect the company, not you. They are filled with defined terms and passive voice specifically so you cannot find the part where they explain what they are actually doing with your information.
We are going to tell you what we are actually doing. In plain language. First.
The legal language follows in Part Two. It is consistent with everything below. If you ever find a contradiction between Part One and Part Two, tell us. We will fix it, and the plain-language version will govern our intent.
What interACT Is
interACT is a real-world human connection platform. It works like this: two people who are physically present in the same place each scan the other's QR code. That bilateral scan — both people, both phones, both present — triggers a shared Outcome card: a conversation prompt, a choice, a reward. That card is the beginning of a real human interaction, not a substitute for one.
The product is deliberately simple. There is no feed. There is no algorithm curating what you see. There is no profile to build, no followers to accumulate, no score to chase. Two people. One moment. That is the entire point.
What We Collect — And What We Don't
Here is the complete picture of what interACT collects and does not collect in its standard operation:
- Your anonymous QR code identifier (UID) — a random string with no personal information in it
- A log of which anonymous codes were scanned together, when, and what Outcome was served
- Your name
- Your email, phone, or contact info (unless you voluntarily provide it to claim a prize or contact us)
- Your location
- Your device identifiers or IP address for tracking
- Any information about your behavior before or after your interACT interaction
- Anything that could identify you from our standard interaction log
The Two Exceptions — Both Voluntary, Both Transparent
Prize claims. If you and a partner win The Co — interACT's prize draw — the winning pair is identified by anonymous code. To claim the prize, you come forward and provide contact information. You are not required to claim. If you claim, your contact information is used solely to administer the prize and for nothing else.
Direct contact. If you email us through the interACT website, we will have your email address. We may reply and, with your permission, we may stay in touch. We will never add you to a list without asking. We will never sell your email address. We will never use it to market to you without your explicit agreement.
What We Will Never Do
These are not aspirational statements. They are commitments, and they are reflected in the legal language that follows.
- We will never sell your information to anyone, for any reason.
- We will never use your information for targeted advertising.
- We will never build a behavioral profile of you.
- We will never use your data to feed an algorithm designed to maximize your engagement, provoke your emotions, or keep you on a screen longer than you intended.
- We will never send you unsolicited marketing communications.
- We will never share your information with third parties except as required by law or as strictly necessary to operate the platform.
Why This Is Different
You have been using the internet long enough to know what the standard playbook looks like. A platform offers a free service. In exchange, it collects everything it can about you — what you click, what you ignore, how long you linger, what makes you angry, what makes you buy. It sells that picture of you to advertisers. It builds systems specifically designed to make you spend more time on the platform so it can collect more data and sell more advertising. It is not a social network. It is a surveillance network with a social interface on top.
This model has been extraordinarily profitable. It has also been extraordinarily harmful. There is now a substantial and growing body of evidence linking heavy use of attention-economy platforms to increased anxiety, depression, loneliness, and political radicalization. The platforms know this. The internal research has been published. They have made a business decision that the revenue is worth the cost — and that the cost is yours to bear, not theirs.
interACT was built as a direct rejection of that model. We do not run ads. We do not collect behavioral data. We do not have an engagement algorithm. We make our revenue from event sponsorships. Our incentive is to create a genuine human experience — because that is the only thing sponsors are paying for and the only thing participants will come back for. Our business model and our values are aligned in a way that the attention economy's never was.
We are not naive about this. We are a small company at an early stage. We may grow. We may face pressure to monetize differently. We are writing this document as a commitment — to you, and to ourselves — about the kind of company we intend to be.
Our Commitment
If we ever change our data practices in any way that affects you, we will tell you before we do it. We will not bury it in an updated Terms of Use that we hope you do not read. We will say it clearly.
If you have questions about any of this, you can reach us at interactforreal.com. We will answer.
Terms of Use & Privacy Policy
The following constitutes the complete Terms of Use and Privacy Policy of interACT for Real LLC ("interACT," "we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using the interACT platform, website located at interactforreal.com, or any associated services (collectively, the "Platform"), you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.
1. Acceptance of Terms
These Terms constitute a binding legal agreement between you and interACT for Real LLC, a Florida limited liability company. Your use of the Platform constitutes your acceptance of these Terms in full. We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated clearly and in advance. Continued use of the Platform following notice of changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
2. Description of the Platform
interACT is a real-world social engagement platform designed to facilitate genuine in-person human connection. The Platform operates through QR code-based interactions at live events. Each participant is assigned a unique anonymous identifier (UID) embedded in a QR code. When two participants scan each other's QR codes in a bilateral interaction, the Platform generates a shared Outcome — a conversation prompt, choice question, or reward — designed to initiate a real-world interaction between the participants.
The Platform is intended for use only by individuals who are physically present at an authorized interACT event. Remote or simulated use of the Platform is not supported or authorized.
3. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years of age to participate in an interACT event or use the Platform. By using the Platform, you represent and warrant that you meet this eligibility requirement. interACT events may take place at venues with their own age requirements; compliance with venue requirements is your responsibility.
4. Privacy Policy — Data Collection and Use
4.1 Standard Platform Operation
In its standard operation, the Platform collects only the following information:
- Interaction logs consisting of: the anonymous UIDs of the two participants in each scan pair; the date and time of the interaction; the Outcome served; and the Outcome type. These logs contain no personally identifiable information.
No name, contact information, device identifier, location data, or any other personally identifiable information is collected or required for standard Platform use.
4.2 Prize Claims
interACT events may include a prize draw (referred to as "The Co" or similar). Winning pairs are identified in the Platform's interaction log by anonymous UID only. To claim a prize, a winning participant must voluntarily come forward and provide contact information sufficient to administer the prize (such as name and email address or payment handle). Prize claim information is collected solely for prize administration purposes and is not used for any other purpose, shared with any third party, or retained beyond the period necessary to administer the prize.
No purchase is necessary to participate in any prize draw. Participation in a prize draw is governed by the specific rules posted at the applicable event. Total prize value at any single event will not exceed $4,999 unless otherwise disclosed.
4.3 Direct Contact
If you contact interACT directly via email or through the contact functionality on interactforreal.com, we will have your email address and any information you choose to include in your message. We will use this information solely to respond to your inquiry. We may, with your explicit permission, retain your contact information for future communications. We will never add you to any marketing list without your affirmative consent. We will never sell or transfer your contact information to any third party.
4.4 Cookies and Local Storage
The Platform may use browser local storage for session functionality — for example, to maintain the state of your interaction during a session. This data is stored on your device and is not transmitted to our servers in a form that identifies you personally. We do not use cookies or local storage for tracking, behavioral profiling, or advertising purposes.
4.5 Third-Party Service Providers
interACT uses a limited number of third-party services necessary to operate the Platform, including web hosting (GoDaddy) and backend data processing (Google Workspace). These providers process data only as necessary to deliver their services and are not authorized to use your data for their own purposes. We are not responsible for the independent privacy practices of third-party services.

interACT does not sell, rent, license, or otherwise transfer your personal information to any third party for commercial purposes, at any time, under any circumstances.

interACT does not use your information for targeted or behavioral advertising. interACT does not participate in advertising networks, data brokers, or any system that uses your behavior or data to deliver personalized advertisements.
4.8 Data Retention
Interaction logs (anonymous UID pairs, timestamps, Outcomes served) are retained for the purpose of event analytics and Platform improvement. Because these logs contain no personally identifiable information, they are not subject to individual deletion requests. Prize claim information and direct contact information are retained only as long as necessary for the purpose for which they were collected and are deleted thereafter.
4.9 Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the information we collect against unauthorized access, disclosure, or destruction. No system is perfectly secure. In the event of a data breach affecting personally identifiable information, we will notify affected individuals as required by applicable law.
