Privacy Policy

Last updated: 24 August 2026

Ours ("the app", "we", "us") is a private space for a couple to keep memories, plans, and lists together. It is operated by an independent developer. This policy explains what we collect, why, and the control you have. Questions: evan.riekel@gmail.com.

1. What we collect

2. How we use it

Solely to provide the app to you and the partner you pair with — to store your content and show it back to the two of you. We do not sell your information, use it for advertising, or share it with anyone beyond what is needed to run the app.

3. Where it's stored and who can see it

Your data is stored using Google Firebase (Authentication, Firestore database, and Cloud Storage) as our infrastructure provider. Each couple's content lives in its own private space, readable and writable only by the at-most-two members of that space — this is enforced by server-side security rules, not just the app. Data is encrypted in transit.

4. AI features

The app offers optional AI features (for example, curating your vision board or drafting a trip plan). If — and only if — you use one, the relevant content for that request (such as vision-board images or your lists) is sent to Google's Gemini API to generate the response, and is processed under Google's API terms. If you don't use the AI features, nothing is sent there.

5. Product analytics

The app uses Google Analytics for Firebase to count how the app is actually used, so we can tell which parts are worth keeping and improving. It records a small set of anonymous events — for example that an account was created, that two people paired, that a memory was saved, or that an AI feature was used.

What these events carry is deliberately limited to counts, yes/no flags and fixed category labels. They never include the things you write or add: no titles, notes, journal text, names, email addresses, locations or photos ever leave the app this way. Firebase also assigns a pseudonymous identifier to the app on your device so repeat visits can be counted as one person rather than many; we never connect that identifier to your account.

This is used only to understand and improve the app. It is not used for advertising, and it is not used to track you across other companies' apps or websites.

6. Your rights and choices

7. Data retention

We keep your content until you delete it or your account. After deletion, residual copies may persist briefly in routine backups before being overwritten.

8. Children

The app is not directed to children under 13 (or under 16 where required by local law). Please don't use it if you are under that age.

9. Changes

If we update this policy we'll change the date above and post the new version here.
