1. What we collect
Account information
When you sign in with Apple, we receive a unique identifier and, at your option, an email address. We use Sign in with Apple specifically because it minimizes what we collect — we never see your real Apple ID credentials.
Pair data
Same Same stores the daily questions you and your paired person answer, your answers, the pairing relationship between your accounts, and your answer archive. This is the core of what the app does — without storing it, the app cannot work.
Device and usage data
We use Firebase (Google) to operate the app. Firebase may collect device identifiers and basic crash and performance data to help us keep the app running. We do not use this data for advertising.
Push notification tokens
If you allow notifications, we store a push token so we can send you a nudge when your paired person answers. You can turn this off at any time in iOS Settings.
Support messages
If you email us for help, we receive your email address and the information you choose to include in your message so we can respond to your request.
2. What we don't collect
We do not collect your contacts, location, microphone, camera, or photo library. We do not run ads. We do not sell your data. We do not share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.
3. How we use your information
We use the information we collect to operate Same Same: to authenticate you, to match you with your paired person, to store and retrieve your answer archive, to send you notifications you've asked for, and to respond to your support requests. We do not use your data for advertising or marketing.
4. Data storage and security
Your data is stored in Google Firebase (Firestore), which operates secure, encrypted cloud infrastructure. We follow industry-standard practices to protect your information, but no method of storage is 100% secure. If you become aware of a security concern, please contact us.
5. Data sharing
With your paired person. Sharing answers is the core of Same Same. When you both answer a day's question, your answers are revealed to each other. Each pair has its own answer history.
We also share your data as required to operate the app (Firebase/Google as our infrastructure provider) or as required by law. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.
6. Your rights and choices
You can delete your account at any time from within the app: go to Settings → Delete Account. Deleting your account permanently removes your profile, your paired connections, and your answer archive from our systems. This action cannot be undone.
You can turn off push notifications at any time in your iPhone Settings.
If you have questions about your data or want to request deletion by email, contact us at support@hedyverse.com.
7. Children
Same Same is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with their information, please contact us and we will delete it.
8. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. We will post any changes on this page with a new effective date. Continued use of Same Same after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
