Privacy Policy
Draft for review. This policy may be updated before launch.
Introduction
Circa ("we," "us," or "our") operates the Circa mobile application and related services at usecirca.app. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using Circa, you agree to the collection and use of information as described here.
Information We Collect
Account information: When you create an account, we collect your email address and authentication credentials through our identity provider (Supabase Auth). If you sign in with Apple or Google, we receive the profile information those providers share with us.
Profile information: You may provide a display name, bio, profile photo, and backdrop photo. Other members of your Groups can see this information according to Group membership.
Content you create: Photos, videos, captions, comments, reactions, chat messages, and Highlights you post in Circa are stored so your Group can view and interact with them.
Usage and device data: We may collect basic diagnostic information (app version, device type, operating system version) when you contact support or when errors occur.
How We Use Your Information
- Provide, maintain, and improve Circa
- Authenticate you and secure your account
- Display your content to members of your Groups
- Send in-app notifications about activity in your Groups
- Respond to support requests and enforce our Terms
- Comply with legal obligations
How We Store Data
Structured data is stored in PostgreSQL via Supabase. Media files are stored in Cloudflare R2 and served through media.usecirca.app. We do not sell your personal information.
Sharing With Others
Circa is a private, Group-based app. Content you post in a Group is visible to members of that Group according to memory membership and Group settings. We may share information with service providers who help us operate Circa (Supabase, Cloudflare, Apple, Google).
Retention and Deletion
Free accounts: Memories may be retained for a limited period (typically 90 days after a memory closes) unless saved as a Highlight or covered by a paid subscription. To request account deletion, contact support@usecirca.app from the email address associated with your account.
Your Choices
You may edit your profile, leave a Group, control notification preferences in Settings, request data export or deletion by email, and revoke Photos access in iOS Settings.
Children
Circa is not directed to children under 13. Contact support@usecirca.app if you believe a child has provided us personal information.
Changes
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
