Privacy Policy
Effective Date: April 29, 2025
1. TL;DR
WBU is anonymous. We don't collect your real name, we don't care who you are, and we won't sell your data. Everything is designed to protect your identity— but remember, anything you write can still be shared by others.
2. What We Collect
- Email: Used for authentication and communication.
- Username: A name you choose when you start using the app (can be anonymous).
- Gender and year of birth: Used to personalize your experience and surface age-appropriate content.
- Country: Helps us understand where our users are located, at a regional level.
- Device data: like language, location (approximate), OS, and app version.
- App activity: which answers you view, swipe, vote on, or reply to.
- Optional info: if you share a question or answer a story link, we store that association anonymously.
3. What We Don't Collect
- No phone numbers or contacts.
- No GPS-level tracking.
- No invasive tracking cookies.
4. How We Use Data
We use data to show relevant content, prevent spam or abuse, track installs (via services like Branch), and improve features. Occasionally, we might analyze trends in responses—but it's always anonymized.
5. Third Parties
We may use third-party tools for analytics, payments, and install attribution, such as:
- Branch.io
- RevenueCat (for handling subscriptions)
These tools may collect limited data to do their jobs, but we don't let them track you across the internet.
6. Data Retention
We keep your data only as long as we need it. If you delete the app, we may keep anonymized logs for moderation or analytics. You can request full deletion anytime.
7. Children's Privacy
WBU is not intended for children under 14. If you believe someone underage is using the app, let us know at support@wbuapp.com.
8. Your Rights
You can request to delete your data or ask us what we've stored. Email support@wbuapp.com to get started.
9. Updates
We may update this policy as the app grows. We'll notify you if there are major changes. Continued use means you accept the updates.
