Who we are
TYPECAST is run by Across Inc. (주식회사 어크로스), Unit 1801, 9 Teheran-ro 63-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul 06162, Republic of Korea, the company behind Nudgeo. Questions: support@nudgeo.com.
What we collect
- A profile you ask us to read. The public Instagram or TikTok link you paste, and from that public profile: the handle, bio, follower and post counts, and the latest posts (up to 12) with their captions, dates, likes and comments. We keep a copy of the post images to show your result.
- Screenshots you upload, if you use them instead of a link. We strip location and camera data when we save them.
- Your result: the type, line, receipts and score we make from those posts, and our notes on each post (what we saw in it and where in the photo).
- Your email, when you join Nudgeo for Creators to get the full reading.
- For the drawing: your birthday and the state you live in. If you verify your profile for the cast list, the code you put in its bio.
- If you win: what you send in your reply to our email, your birthday to confirm it’s you, and for a shipped prize, your name, address and phone number.
- Technical data: your IP address, to limit how often one visitor can use TYPECAST, and a sign-in cookie that keeps you signed in. We don’t use advertising or analytics cookies.
How we use it
To read a feed and show the result, to run the drawings and the rankings, to send the emails you ask for (sign-in codes, and an email if you win), to stop abuse, and to answer you. We don’t sell personal information, and we don’t use it for ads.
Who we share it with
- Apify reads the public profile for us.
- Google (the Gemini API) looks at the post images, captions and bio to make the result.
- Amazon Web Services runs our servers and storage in Seoul and sends our emails.
- Nudgeo for Creators, our own app, holds your account when you join. TYPECAST asks it whether you have signed in to the app, because your entry counts only after that, and gives it the handle you verified, so the app can show that account before you connect it. Its own policy is at creators.nudgeo.com/privacy.
- People who open the link: a reading shows in full only to the person who asked for it. Once they open its share card, its type, line and main photo show to anyone who opens that profile’s link on TYPECAST. A removal request hides it at once.
- Rankings and winners: entrants who verify their profile appear on the cast list with their handle, type, score and photo, and winners’ handles (no photos) may be announced on TYPECAST and our Instagram and TikTok accounts and appear in the winners list. The weekly Top 10 post includes you only if you say yes.
Faces
We don’t use facial recognition and don’t create face templates or measurements, and we never identify anyone in a photo. The result is about what the posts show: places, things, habits and style. When it is about a look or a mood, the box on a photo can fall on a person.
How long we keep it
- A reading that isn’t tied to a Nudgeo for Creators account, with its images: 30 days.
- Uploaded screenshots: deleted once read, or after 1 hour if they aren’t.
- IP addresses: 30 days. Sign-in cookies: 30 days.
- Your readings, entries and drawing details: until 90 days after the final drawing (December 13, 2026), then deleted.
- Prize claims (name, address, phone, birthday): 1 year after the final drawing, for prize delivery and our records, then deleted.
Your choices
- Remove a reading of your profile, including one someone else asked for: Remove a reading. The request hides it from its link at once; we delete it within 7 days, and a removed profile isn’t read again. Copies someone already saved or posted elsewhere aren’t ours to delete.
- Ask to see, correct or delete what we hold about you: email support@nudgeo.com from the address you used. We answer within 30 days.
Children
TYPECAST is for people 13 and older, and the drawing is for US residents 18 and older (19 in Alabama and Nebraska, 21 in Mississippi), except Rhode Island. If we learn that someone under 13 gave us personal information, we delete it.
Do Not Track
We don’t track you across other sites and don’t let others do it on TYPECAST, so a browser’s Do Not Track signal changes nothing here.
Where it’s stored and how it’s protected
On AWS in Seoul, Republic of Korea, with encrypted connections and encrypted storage; Apify and Google may process it in the US. Apart from what this policy says others can see, only the people who run TYPECAST can reach it.
Changes
When this policy changes, we update it here with a new date and email you if the change is significant.
