Introduction

This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use the AskIRL mobile application. By using the app, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

Information we collect

  • Saved connections: Handles, numbers, or messages the other person typed themselves when they said yes (stored on your device).
  • Favourited and custom approaches: Approaches you favourite or write yourself (stored on your device).
  • Activity counts: Used to power the in-app Insights screen (stored on your device).
  • App settings: Haptics, motion, screen-awake, emoji choices, and your analytics preference (stored on your device).
  • Anonymous usage counts (optional): How approaches are started and finished and which vibes are chosen, tied to a random on-device identifier that can't be linked to you; off by default to review, switchable in Settings (stored in the cloud).
  • Subscription status: Whether AskIRL+ is active, confirmed by RevenueCat; no payment details are ever received (stored in the cloud).

We collect nothing beyond what is listed above.
