Privacy Policy

What we collect, why, who processes it, how long we keep it, and how to delete all of it.

Last updated 24 October 2026

Flustered is an iPhone app for small red-faced moments. It needs some information about you to work: who you are, what you chose to try, what you guessed and what happened. It does not need to know where you are, who your contacts are, or anything about your health, money or browsing, and it doesn't ask.

What we collect

  • Account: a handle, and optionally a display name, bio and photo. If you sign in with Apple or Google, the account identifier and email address they give us (with Apple this can be a private relay address).
  • What you make: the stretches you start, your private forecasts and check-ins (how many will notice, how long they'll remember, how loud your body was), photos, clips and voice notes you choose to keep, written reflections, comments and direct messages.
  • What others write about you: when you ask someone to witness, what they write about what happened is stored with your moment.
  • Your circle: who you follow, your witness circle, groups and pairings, and who you block or mute.
  • Wellbeing signals: if several moments in a row land hard, the app notes the change so it can step back and point to real help. Only the level and which signals fired, never the content.
  • Device and usage: a random device identifier, a push token if you allow notifications, and which days you used the app (one entry per day, no screens or taps).

What we don't do

  • We don't sell your data or share it with data brokers.
  • We don't use advertising or tracking SDKs, in the app or on this site.
  • We don't show anything you kept private to anyone else.

Who sees what

Each moment is private (only you), circle (your witness circle) or public, and you can change it any time. Your forecasts and check-ins are always private. Public moments can appear in the app and on a shareable web page. If you share your gap (“I guessed the room. It was one or two.”), only those two answers travel in the link; nothing else about you does.

Who processes it

  • Railway runs the server and stores the database and uploads.
  • Apple and Google handle sign-in when you choose them.
  • Expo and Apple deliver push notifications.
  • Vercel hosts this website and counts page views without cookies.

How long we keep it

Until you delete it. Deleting a moment removes it and its photo, clip and voice note. Deleting your account removes your account and everything above, including uploaded files, at once. Copies can remain in backups for up to 30 days before they are overwritten.

Your choices

  • Change your profile and who sees each moment at any time.
  • Turn notifications off in iOS Settings.
  • Get a copy of your data from You → Settings → Export my data.
  • Delete your account from You → Settings → Delete account. It is permanent and immediate.

Age

Flustered is for people 13 and over.
