What we collect

When you use Skrend, we collect:

Identity information

Your Apple ID user identifier (received via Sign in with Apple)
Your email address (may be Apple's private relay address)
Your display name and chosen handle

Friend graph

Your connections to other Skrend users
Your role in interactions (requester or approver)

User-generated content

Photo and video proof you upload to verify completion of friend-assigned challenges
Free-text content you write: pleas attached to time-extension requests, denial reasons, challenge prompts

Subscription data

Your subscription status, plan, and renewal/expiration dates (synced from Apple via RevenueCat)
We never see or store your payment card details — Apple is the merchant of record for all in-app purchases

Device data

Apple Push Notification Service (APNs) device tokens to send you notifications
Crash reports and stack traces (when the app crashes unexpectedly)

Usage data

App events and screen interactions (taps, screen views, feature usage) collected via PostHog for product improvement
These events do not contain personal content (the text of your messages, photos, etc.)

We do not collect: location data, contacts from your phone, browsing or search history, health data, financial data beyond subscription state, or any data linked to your identity for advertising purposes.

How we use it

We use your information to:

Operate Skrend's core features: friend connections, time-extension requests, challenges, proof review
Authenticate you and link your account to your Apple ID
Send push notifications relating to your account and friend interactions
Process and verify your in-app subscription
Improve the app via aggregated usage analytics
Diagnose and fix bugs via crash reports
Comply with our legal obligations

We do not use your data for advertising or marketing, selling/renting/sharing with data brokers, or cross-app or cross-website tracking.

Who we share with

We share specific data only with the following service providers, all under strict confidentiality:

Apple Inc. — authentication via Sign in with Apple, in-app purchase processing (Apple is merchant of record), push notification delivery, App Store distribution
Supabase Inc. — backend infrastructure for your account, friend graph, requests, challenges, and proof storage. Privacy: supabase.com/privacy
PostHog Inc. — anonymized product interaction events and crash reports. Privacy: posthog.com/privacy
RevenueCat Inc. — subscription state synchronization. Privacy: revenuecat.com/privacy

We share your friend graph data only with users you've explicitly added as friends. Your photo/video proof is shared only with the specific friend you've designated as the approver.

Where we store your data

Your data is stored in Supabase's cloud infrastructure. Data may transfer outside Australia (e.g., to the United States) for processing by our service providers.

How long we keep it

We keep your account data for as long as your account exists. When you delete your account in Settings, we delete your account, friend graph, all uploaded proof, and associated content within 30 days.

We may retain anonymized usage analytics indefinitely (no personal identifiers) and limited information beyond account deletion if required by law.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to:

Access the personal data we hold about you
Correct inaccurate personal data
Delete your data (also available directly via Settings → Delete Account)
Object to or restrict our processing
Receive a copy in portable format
Withdraw consent (where applicable)
Lodge a complaint with a data protection authority

To exercise these rights, contact us.

If you are in the EEA or UK, you can complain to your country's data protection authority.

If you are in California, you have additional rights under the CCPA. We do not sell personal information.

Children

Skrend is rated 9+ on the App Store. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe this has occurred, contact us.

Security

We use:

HTTPS/TLS for all network communication
Apple ID authentication via Sign in with Apple
iOS Keychain for authentication token storage
Row-level security on our backend database
Photo/video proof stored in private storage buckets, accessed only via short-lived signed URLs

No system is perfectly secure. We will notify you of security incidents affecting your data in accordance with applicable law.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

If we make material changes to this policy, we will notify you in-app or via email. The current version is always posted at https://skrend.com/privacy. Continued use of Skrend after changes constitutes acceptance.
