FAQ
How does Chance find my 'Paths Crossed'?
Chance analyzes the time and location metadata embedded in your photos. It then compares this data with that of a paired friend or partner to identify moments you were in the same place at the same time.
Is my photo data safe with Chance?
Yes, Chance is designed with privacy as a priority. All photo data is analyzed on-device, meaning your library never leaves your phone. Only the specific 'crossed path' matches are shared, and this sharing is end-to-end encrypted.
Can strangers see my data on Chance?
No, strangers cannot see your data. Pairing with someone requires a verification code, ensuring that only the people you choose to connect with can see your shared paths. There are no public profiles or social feeds.
What are the different tiers of 'Paths Crossed'?
Chance scores near-misses across four tiers: 'Same Hour' (within an hour of each other), 'Closest in Time' (down to the minute), and 'Closest in Distance' (sometimes only feet apart).
