Last updated: January 19, 2026

Alynd (“we”, “us”, “our”) operates the Alynd iOS mobile application (the “App” or “Service”).

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, how long we keep it, and what rights you have regarding your personal data.

By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

We do not collect precise location data, payment information, or other sensitive categories unless explicitly stated.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected data for the following purposes:

  • To provide and operate the Service, including storing your notes in Firestore

  • To maintain and improve the App’s functionality

  • To detect, prevent, and investigate technical issues or security incidents

  • To generate aggregated and anonymized statistics for internal insights

  • To comply with legal obligations

We do not use your data for advertising products, and we do not sell your personal data.

3. Legal Bases for Processing (for EEA/UK/Switzerland users, if applicable)

We do not sell your personal data.

We may share information with:

  • Law enforcement, regulators, or courts when legally required or to protect rights and safety

Current major subprocessors (as of January 2026)

We ensure subprocessors are bound by data processing agreements that protect your information.

5. International Data Transfers

Your data may be transferred to and processed in the United States or other countries outside your residence.

For transfers from the EEA/UK to countries without an adequacy decision, we use safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or equivalent mechanisms.

6. Data Retention

We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described or as required by law.

  • Account data and user notes: 365 days from the last activity or until you request deletion (whichever comes first)

After this period, we permanently delete or irreversibly anonymize the data.

  • Restriction of processing

  • Data portability

EU/UK residents: you may lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

8. California (CCPA/CPRA) Specific Disclosures
