friendkeeper ("we", "our", or "the app") is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights.
friendkeeper stores all your personal data — including friends, reminders, catch-up history, and borrowing records — locally on your device. We do not have access to your personal data, and it is never uploaded to our servers.
We use PostHog to collect anonymous usage analytics. This helps us understand how the app is used so we can improve it. Analytics data includes:
Analytics data is anonymous and cannot be used to identify you personally. No personal content (friend names, notes, photos, etc.) is ever sent to our analytics service.
friendkeeper may request access to your device's contacts to help you import friends. Contact data is only accessed locally on your device and is never transmitted to any server.
The app may request permission to send local notifications for reminders, birthdays, and friendiversaries. These notifications are generated entirely on your device.
friendkeeper may request access to your photo library to let you add profile pictures for friends or photos for catch-ups and borrowed items. Photos are stored locally on your device only.
The app integrates with the following third-party services:
During setup, you may provide your date of birth (including birth year). This information is stored locally on your device only and is used for personalisation features such as zodiac insights. Your date of birth is never transmitted to our servers or any third party. You may also optionally store a birth year for friends you add to the app.
friendkeeper is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. During setup, the app asks for your date of birth and will prevent users under 13 from proceeding. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected information from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete that information promptly. If you believe a child under 13 is using the app, please contact us at support@friendkeeper.com.
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
If you have questions about this privacy policy, please contact us at support@friendkeeper.com.
