We automatically collect certain information when you use the Services. This information does not reveal your specific identity (like name or email) but may include device and usage information, such as IP address, browser and device characteristics, operating system, language preferences, referring URLs, device name, country/region, location (approximate), pages viewed and actions taken, and other technical data. This information is used for security, operations, and internal analytics.

Storage and international transfers

We use Supabase to host and store application data in managed Postgres databases located in the United States. For details, see Supabase Security.

2. How do we process your information?

In Short: We process information to provide, improve, and administer our Services, communicate with you, ensure security and fraud prevention, and comply with law.

  • Provide and maintain the Service (including account management and customer support)
  • Process purchases and subscriptions (via Stripe or Apple, as applicable)
  • Personalize and improve features, content, and user experience
  • Security and fraud prevention (detect, prevent, or remediate violations and abuse)
  • Communications (service announcements, updates, and responses to inquiries)
  • Legal compliance (to comply with applicable laws and regulations)

In Short: We process your information only when we have a valid legal reason to do so.

If you are located in the EU/EEA, UK, or similar jurisdictions, we rely on the following legal bases:

  • Consent (for example, when you connect a third-party account)
  • Performance of a contract (to provide the Services you request)
  • Legitimate interests (to operate and improve our Services, where those interests are not overridden by your rights)
  • Legal obligations (to comply with applicable laws)

4. When and with whom do we share your personal information?

In Short: We share information with service providers, partners, and authorities when necessary.

  • Service providers: including hosting/database (Supabase) and payments (Stripe), to perform services on our behalf.
  • App platforms: when you subscribe via Apple, Apple processes your billing data.
  • Business transfers: in connection with a merger, asset sale, financing, or acquisition.
  • Legal obligations: to comply with law, enforce our terms, or protect rights, property, and safety.
  • With your consent: for any other purpose that you authorize.

5. Do we use cookies and other tracking technologies?

In Short: We may use cookies and similar technologies to improve performance and understand usage.

You can set your browser to refuse all or some cookies or to alert you when cookies are being set. If you disable cookies, some parts of the Services may not function properly.

6. How do we handle your social logins?

In Short: If you choose to register or log in using Google or Apple, we receive certain profile information from those providers.

We may receive information such as your name and email address from the provider, and we use this information to create or authenticate your account. We do not control, and are not responsible for, other uses of your personal information by the provider. Please review their privacy policies for more information.

7. How long do we keep your information?

In Short: We keep information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this notice, unless otherwise required by law.

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will delete or anonymize it, or if this is not possible (for example, because your information has been stored in backup archives), we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

8. How do we keep your information safe?

In Short: We aim to protect your personal information through a system of organizational and technical security measures.

We implement security measures appropriate to the risk of the processing activity and data category. Data is stored in Supabase-managed infrastructure hosted in the United States. For more about Supabase's security practices, see Supabase Security.

9. Do we collect information from minors?

If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

In Short: You may have rights that allow you greater access to and control over your personal information.

  • Access, correct, or delete your personal information
  • Object to or restrict certain processing
  • Data portability
  • Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent

To exercise these rights, email [email protected]. If you are in the EU/EEA or UK, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

11. Controls for do-not-track features

Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems include a Do-Not-Track (DNT) feature. At this time, we do not respond to DNT signals because there is no uniform standard for recognizing them. If a standard is adopted, we will update this notice.

In Short: Depending on your state of residence, you may have additional rights.

If you are a resident of certain U.S. states (e.g., California, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Virginia), you may have rights to access, delete, correct, or opt out of certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will verify and respond as required by applicable law.
