The short version: your personal journal is stored on your device. Using AI sends the message and relevant context to an online AI provider. Community content you publish is shared with others. Purchases and app usage involve Apple, Apphud and Firebase.
1. About this policy
“No Contact,” “we” and “our” refer to the provider of the No Contact app and this website. This draft describes the app’s current data flows. The provider’s legal identity must be added before this policy is published as the final policy. For privacy requests, contact [email protected].
No Contact offers personal reflection tools, an AI companion and an optional community. Some information you choose to enter may be sensitive, including details about relationships, feelings and personal circumstances. Only share information you are comfortable using with the feature you select.
2. Your personal space
We store your onboarding answers, optional first name, last-contact date, goals, journal entries, unsent letters, boundaries, check-ins and guided-session progress in the app’s local storage. A community login is not required for these personal tools.
These records are not automatically published to the community. The app may share a limited snapshot, such as your start date, goal and latest check-in, with its widgets on the same device.
Local storage does not mean that every use of this information stays offline. If you enable personal context for the AI companion, relevant profile and boundary information is included in AI requests as described below. Local app data may also be included in operating-system backups depending on the data and your device settings.
3. AI conversations
The AI companion uses Google’s generative AI services through Firebase AI Logic. Sending a message requires an internet connection. Your message, relevant recent messages or a summary, conversation notes, shared notes, language and entry-point context are sent to the provider to generate a response.
If you enable profile context, a request can also include your onboarding answers, optional name, reasons and goals, last-contact date, saved communication boundary and relevant plan context. You can control profile context and shared notes in the app. Journal entries are not automatically attached to these requests.
Your conversation history is stored in a local database on your device. That database is excluded from the app’s device-backup files. Removing a conversation deletes the app’s local copy; it does not itself send a deletion request for any processing records held by an AI provider.
Google may process inputs and outputs, technical metadata and abuse-prevention records under the terms and retention rules for the configured AI service. Firebase AI Logic’s own handling and the underlying model provider’s handling are separate. See Firebase’s privacy information for further details. Do not include passwords, payment details or information about someone else that is unnecessary to your conversation.
4. Community and accounts
When you sign in with Apple or email, Firebase Authentication processes the account credentials or authentication tokens needed to sign you in. We receive an account identifier and the information supplied by that sign-in method, which may include an email address. We do not receive your Apple Account password.
Your community display name is separate from your private profile. Posts, comments, reactions and common-room messages are associated with your community account. Published content and your chosen name can be visible to other people. Reading content does not make your private journal public.
We also process community preferences, saved posts, blocked users, reports, notification tokens and records needed to prevent abuse and enforce usage limits. Reports are used for moderation. Avoid posting identifying details you do not want other people to see or copy.
5. Purchases, configuration and analytics
Apple handles in-app payments. We do not receive full payment-card details. Apphud helps the app retrieve offers, validate subscription access and manage subscription-related events. It processes purchase and subscription information, its user identifier and device or app information.
Firebase Analytics records app events such as onboarding progress, sign-in outcomes and purchases. We use these events to understand whether the app works and where people encounter difficulties. The app connects its Apphud identifier with Firebase Analytics and supplies the Firebase app-instance identifier to Apphud for attribution.
Apphud also provides configuration for onboarding, feature access and offers. Attribution may use device identifiers and Apple Search Ads information. The advertising identifier is supplied only when the applicable system tracking permission has been granted. We do not intentionally put journal text or AI-message text into our custom analytics events.
6. Notifications and permissions
If you allow notifications, the app can schedule local reminders. Remote notifications use Apple Push Notification service and Firebase Cloud Messaging. Device tokens may be registered with Firebase for community notifications and with Apphud for subscription-related messaging.
Notification content may appear on a locked screen depending on your system settings. You can change notification permissions in device settings and relevant preferences in the app. You can also change tracking permission in system settings. Refusing tracking does not prevent access to personal tools.
App Check uses device or app-attestation signals to help protect online services. These security signals are distinct from the optional advertising tracking permission.
7. Service providers and processing
We use service providers to operate specific parts of No Contact:
- Apple: in-app payments, Sign in with Apple and push delivery. See Apple’s privacy information.
- Google / Firebase: authentication, community and article storage, server actions, messaging, analytics, security checks and AI requests. See Firebase privacy and security.
- Apphud: subscriptions, paywalls, configuration and attribution. See Apphud’s Privacy Policy.
We use information to provide requested features, operate accounts and purchases, improve reliability, prevent misuse and comply with applicable obligations. Depending on the feature and applicable law, the basis for processing may be providing the service you request, your consent, legitimate interests in operating and protecting the service, or legal obligations. Where required, consent can be withdrawn without affecting prior lawful processing.
Community infrastructure is configured in the United States. Other service providers may process data in the United States and other countries. Applicable protections and transfer arrangements depend on the provider and service. Data is not guaranteed to remain in your country.
8. Storage, retention and deletion
Personal-space records stay in local app storage until you remove them, reset the relevant data or remove the app. Device backups can have a separate lifecycle. AI conversations can be deleted individually in the app.
You can request deletion of your community account from the community profile. After identity confirmation, the server removes the account and associated profile, posts, comments, reactions and common-room messages, together with related account records handled by that deletion process. It does not erase other people’s copies of previously published material.
Community account deletion does not automatically erase your separate personal journal, cancel your Apple subscription, or delete purchase records held by Apple and Apphud. Service providers may retain transaction, security, backup or other records according to their obligations and policies. We do not promise an immediate purge of every backup or log.
We use operating-system file protections, encrypted network connections and access controls where supported. No storage or transmission system can be guaranteed completely secure.
9. Your choices and privacy rights
You can use personal features without a community account, choose what to publish, manage AI context, delete conversations, delete your community account, and change notification or tracking permissions.
Depending on your location and the applicable law, you may also have rights to access, correct, obtain a copy of or delete personal information, restrict or object to certain processing, withdraw consent, and raise a complaint with a data-protection authority. Identity verification may be needed to protect your information. Send privacy requests to [email protected].
Deleting an app or account is separate from cancelling a subscription. Manage subscriptions through your Apple Account.
10. This website
This version of the website does not include analytics scripts, advertising cookies, account forms or a live AI chat. Fonts, illustrations and app screenshots are served with the site. Navigation, feature previews and the breathing exercise run in your browser.
A hosting provider may process IP addresses, request details and technical logs to serve and protect the website. Opening an external link takes you to a service with its own privacy practices.
11. Children and policy updates
No Contact is designed for adults. It is not directed to children under 18. If information from a child has been provided, its removal can be requested by emailing [email protected].
We may update this policy as features or service providers change. The current version and its date will be available on this page. Material changes will be communicated as required by applicable law.
