FeelMe ("we", "us", or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and share your information when you use the FeelMe iOS app.
Who we are
FeelMe is operated by Appify LT (France).
Contact: support@appifylt.info
What FeelMe is
FeelMe lets two people share their current emotional state ("mood") through a colored orb displayed on each other's home screen widget. There is no chat, feed, or social graph beyond the one-to-one pairing.
The app includes Weekly Recap, an on-device feature powered by Apple Intelligence that reads your couple's last 7 days of shared moods and produces three short observations. This processing happens entirely on your device.
How you sign in
FeelMe uses Sign in with Apple as the sole authentication method. There is no password to create, no email form to fill, and no third-party social login.
- When you sign in, Apple gives us a private Apple ID identifier tied to your Apple account. We use this identifier (and only this identifier) to recognize you across devices and reinstalls.
- You can choose "Hide My Email" during Apple's sign-in prompt. If you do, Apple generates a private relay address (e.g.
abc123@privaterelay.appleid.com) instead of sharing your real email. We treat this relay as opaque — we never email you. - If you choose to share your real email instead, we still don't send you marketing, newsletters, or any email communication except a one-time account-deletion confirmation if you ever request it.
- You can sign out at any time from Settings → Sign out, and delete your account entirely from Settings → Delete account.
What we collect
We collect only the minimum data needed for the app to function.
| Data | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|
| Firebase Auth UID (created from your Apple ID via Sign in with Apple) | Identify your account, link you to your partner, restore your data on a new device | Until you delete your account |
| Apple ID email (real or "Hide My Email" relay, depending on your choice) | Recognize you on reinstall / new device; never used for marketing | Until you delete your account |
| Display name (e.g. "Greg") | Show to your partner so they know who's paired with them | Until you delete your account |
| Current mood selection (one of: happy, excited, loving, calm, tired, sad, stressed, angry) | Sync to your partner's home screen | Replaced each time you change it; never archived |
| Pairing invitation code | 6-digit temporary code for invitation flow | Auto-deleted after acceptance or 10 minutes |
| Streak data (current streak, longest streak, last shared date) | Show the daily ritual counter to both partners | Until you delete your account |
| Premium status flag | Mirror subscription status so your partner gets Premium too | Until you delete your account |
| FCM push token | Send a notification to your partner when you change your mood | Refreshed by iOS; deleted when you delete your account |
| Crash diagnostics (anonymized) | Identify and fix app crashes | 90 days |
| Aggregate event counts (Firebase Analytics) | DAU, retention, feature-funnel analytics (no user identifier sent, IDFA disabled) | Aggregated for up to 14 months |
| Anonymous onboarding counters | Improve product decisions. Incremented globally, never linked to a user | Indefinite (aggregated, no PII) |
We do not collect
- Your real name (we use whatever display name you choose in the app)
- Your password (Sign in with Apple is passwordless)
- Your phone number or postal address
- Photos, contacts, or location
- Browsing history or any third-party tracking data
- Behavioral profiling or advertising identifiers (we explicitly disable IDFA collection)
- The text generated by Weekly Recap (produced on-device by Apple Intelligence, never transmitted to FeelMe servers)
If you use "Hide My Email" during Apple sign-in, we never see your real email address — Apple gives us an anonymized relay address instead.
How we use your data
- App functionality: showing your mood to your partner and theirs to you
- Account management: keeping you signed in and linking you to your partner
- Push notifications: alerting your partner when your mood changes
- Daily ritual reminders: a local notification scheduled by your device (your time preference is stored only on your iPhone, never sent to our servers)
- Stability: anonymized crash reports to fix bugs
- Product analytics: aggregated, anonymous metrics to understand how the app is used
We do not sell, rent, or share your data with advertisers, data brokers, or any third party for marketing purposes.
Apple Intelligence and Weekly Recap
The Weekly Recap feature uses Apple's on-device Foundation Models framework (part of Apple Intelligence, iOS 18.4+).
- Your moods are read on your iPhone. The recap is generated by the Apple Intelligence model running locally on your device's Neural Engine.
- FeelMe never sees, stores, or transmits the generated recap text.
- Apple may use Private Cloud Compute for portions of the processing. Apple's privacy policy applies. See Apple Intelligence Privacy.
- We do not save the generated recap, or any usage history of this feature beyond an aggregate counter that increments anonymously.
Premium sharing
When one partner subscribes to FeelMe Premium, both partners automatically get Premium access. This is implemented by writing a boolean flag (isPremium: true) to the shared couple document in Firestore. Your partner's app reads this flag and unlocks Premium features.
- The flag is never linked to billing, payment method, or any financial data.
- All subscription billing is handled by Apple (via the App Store) and RevenueCat (subscription management). FeelMe never sees your payment information.
- See RevenueCat Privacy Policy.
Where your data lives
Your data is stored on Google Firebase (Firestore database) hosted in the United States (nam5 multi-region). Firebase is operated by Google LLC and complies with GDPR through Standard Contractual Clauses.
Your rights
You have the right to:
- Access the data we hold about you
- Correct inaccurate data
- Delete your account and all associated data, directly from the app: Settings → Delete account
- Withdraw consent at any time by deleting your account
- Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority (in France: CNIL)
When you delete your account, we permanently delete:
- Your authentication record
- Your couple document (your partner sees the disconnect immediately and reverts to free tier)
- Your push notification token
- Your shared mood, streak, and Premium-mirror data
This deletion is irreversible.
Children's privacy
FeelMe is not intended for users under 13 (or under 16 in the EU). We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has used the app, please contact us and we will delete any related data.
Third-party services
| Service | Purpose | Privacy Policy |
|---|---|---|
| Google Firebase | Backend infrastructure, anonymous analytics, push notifications, crash reports | firebase.google.com/support/privacy |
| RevenueCat | Subscription management (purchase, restore, entitlement state) | revenuecat.com/privacy |
| Apple Intelligence | On-device generation of the Weekly Recap | apple.com/privacy |
| Apple App Store | Payment processing for subscriptions | apple.com/legal/privacy |
Data security
We use TLS encryption for all data in transit. Data at rest in Firestore is encrypted by Google. Access to production data is restricted to the founder. Firestore Security Rules enforce that only the two paired users can read or write their couple document.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated through the app at least 14 days before they take effect.
