Privacy policy

1. Who is responsible

Myrenget AS operates DoWeMatch and is responsible for the personal information processed to provide the app. This policy covers the iOS app, its default reading service, this website, and support correspondence.

If you enter a different reading-server address in the app’s settings, that server is operated by its own provider. Its privacy practices may differ.

2. Information you provide

• Profile: your chosen name or alias, plus any optional birthdate, star sign, story, photo, and voice transcript.
• Voice notes: the app records audio on your device and uses Apple’s Speech framework to transcribe it. Audio may be processed online by Apple when the recognizer cannot operate on-device. The reading service receives the transcript, not the original recording.
• Support: when you contact us, we receive your email address and the details you include in your message.
• Technical information: the reading service processes IP addresses and request timestamps to limit abuse. Hosting providers also process technical request information needed to deliver and protect the service and website.

You may use an alias and leave the optional fields empty. Avoid entering sensitive information or uploading someone else’s photo without their permission.

3. Why we use this information

We use your profile to personalize a reading, connect the two participants, and display the result. We use technical information to operate the service and prevent abuse, and support correspondence to answer your request.

The app does not include advertising or behavioral analytics SDKs. We do not use profile information for advertising, and we do not sell it. The readings are entertainment; they are not used to make decisions about employment, credit, insurance, or other eligibility.

Where European data-protection law applies, we process the information needed to provide the service you request on the basis of performing that service; optional permission-based features on the basis of your consent where required; and limited security and support information for our legitimate interests in operating and protecting the service. We may also process information to meet legal obligations.

4. Where information goes

• The nearby participant: matching exchanges the profiles you each chose to provide over Apple’s MultipeerConnectivity. The other person can see the information shared in that interaction.
• Our reading service: for an online reading, both profiles are sent to the configured service. The default service is hosted on Vercel.
• Anthropic: our default reading service sends the supplied profile text and optional photos to Anthropic’s API to generate the reading. Anthropic’s commercial-service terms and privacy practices apply to that processing.
• Apple: Apple provides device permissions and speech recognition, which may involve online audio processing. Apple also handles App Store distribution and any device backups you enable.
• Website hosting: this website is hosted on Vercel. Vercel processes requests to deliver and secure the pages.
• Support providers: messages you email us are handled by the email services used to deliver and manage that correspondence.

If you use the app’s sharing action, the information you choose to share goes to the recipient or service you select. We cannot remove copies another participant or recipient has kept.

Service providers may process information outside your country, including in the United States. Their applicable data-processing terms describe the safeguards used for international transfers.

5. Storage and retention

Your profile and any local recording remain in the app’s storage on your iPhone until replaced or removed. Deleting the app removes its local data; copies in device backups are governed by your backup settings.

The default reading service processes profiles to generate a response and does not maintain a profile or reading-history database. It keeps IP addresses and request timestamps in temporary server memory for rate limiting. Hosting and service providers may retain operational or security records under their own policies.

Anthropic’s published standard API policy deletes inputs and outputs within 30 days, with exceptions for legal obligations, safety enforcement, certain services, or a different agreement. We do not promise zero retention or immediate deletion of data already sent to a provider. See Anthropic’s API retention policy.

We keep support correspondence while it is needed to resolve your request and to address related operational or legal matters. Contact us to request deletion of correspondence that no longer needs to be retained.

6. Your choices and requests

• Use an alias and skip optional birthdate, story, photo, or voice fields.
• Edit your profile in the app’s Settings → Edit my essence.
• Decline or revoke microphone, speech-recognition, and local-network permissions in your iPhone’s Settings. Features relying on those permissions may stop working.
• Delete the app to remove local app data. Offloading the app preserves its data.
• Contact us to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or a copy of personal data we hold, or to object to processing where applicable. You may withdraw consent for optional processing without affecting earlier lawful processing.

Because there is no account or server-side profile directory, we may not be able to identify a previously processed reading from a name alone. Include only the details needed to explain your request. Removing data from your phone does not undo earlier sharing.

If European data-protection law applies, you may complain to your local data-protection authority. In Norway, this is Datatilsynet.

7. Website cookies and links

We have not added advertising trackers, analytics scripts, or a contact form to this website. The hosting platform may process technical information and use functionality needed to operate or secure its service. External links and your email application have their own privacy practices.

8. Children and sensitive information

DoWeMatch is not directed at children under 13. Do not provide information you are not entitled to share, or information about a child. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, contact us so we can investigate.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when the app or its providers change. We will revise the date above and provide further notice when required.
