  • To provide the core app experience — syncing tasks, doodles, and calendars between you and your partner.
  • To send you push notifications for reminders, partner nudges, and important updates.
  • To improve the app by understanding which features couples love most (in aggregate, never individually).

  • Passwords are hashed using industry-standard algorithms — we can never see your actual password.
  • Doodle images are stored in secure cloud storage with access restricted to you and your paired partner.
  • We use Supabase Auth for authentication, which follows industry best practices for security.

  • We NEVER sell your data to advertisers, data brokers, or anyone else. Period.
