UNDRIFT PRIVACY POLICY

Effective date: 16 September 2026
Version: 2026.09.16

This Privacy Policy explains how UNdrift handles information.

The provider is Samer Kamal Saleem Haddad, acting as sole proprietor and trading as GIVE ME THE MIC ADVERTISING SERVICES, a Sole Establishment operating under Abu Dhabi Economic Licence No. CN-5665616, United Arab Emirates. The Sole Establishment is not a separate limited liability company.

UNdrift is a local-first iOS app. Your relationship information stays on your device. The Provider operates no server for the App and does not collect usage analytics. The only information that leaves your device is Apple's processing of the optional one-time purchase, any support email you choose to send, and ordinary web-server information if you visit the UNdrift website.

1. Scope

This Policy covers the UNdrift iOS app, the UNdrift website and legal pages, the one-time in-app purchase, and support interactions.

It does not govern Apple, WhatsApp, Telegram, Messages, carriers, or other independent services. Their own privacy terms apply to their independent processing.

2. Information stored locally on your device

UNdrift may store the following in the App's private local database:

1. people you add, including name, optional phone number, preferred communication channel, tags, VIP status, time zone, and desired contact cadence;
2. relationship descriptions and summaries;
3. notes you attach to a person;
4. touch logs, including date, outcome, channel, and an optional short note;
5. reminders, snooze settings, queue settings, theme, notification preferences, legal acceptance records, and similar settings; and
6. the local purchase-entitlement state that Apple's StoreKit reports to the App.

Earlier versions of the App stored choices for optional AI features. Those fields remain in the local database format for compatibility but are no longer used, read for any purpose, or transmitted.

This information is not uploaded to an UNdrift account or any cloud database. Account and cloud-sync code exists internally but is disabled in the production configuration. UNdrift will update this Policy, App Store disclosures, deletion controls, and consent flows before enabling account or cloud-sync functionality in production.

3. Contacts and external communications

When you add a person using Apple's contact picker, Apple provides only the contact you select. UNdrift does not scan or upload your address book.

UNdrift does not read your call history, message history, or incoming message content. It does not automatically send a message. You choose the recipient, review the content, and initiate the final handoff or transmission through an external communication service.

External services may process the information you send under their own privacy policies.

4. Local backups and deletion

UNdrift may create a rotating set of local backup files inside the App's local container. These backups are intended to help recover the circle if the active database becomes unavailable or corrupted.

An ordinary in-app reset deletes the active people database, notes, logs, settings, and scheduled notifications while preserving previously created local backup files. If backups remain, deleted relationship information may still be recoverable from them. The App discloses this before the reset and provides a separate control that also deletes the local backups.

Deleting the App normally removes its local app container, subject to iOS behaviour, device backups, iCloud device backup, restored-device copies, or other systems controlled by you or Apple.

The Provider holds no copy of your relationship database and therefore has nothing to delete on your behalf.

5. No AI features and no UNdrift server

Version 1.8 of UNdrift removed the optional AI features offered by earlier versions and the UNdrift backend server that supported them. The App does not send names, notes, touch logs, relationship summaries, circle statistics, or any other content about your circle to any server or artificial-intelligence provider.

The suggested opening lines and the "circle read" shown in the App are produced on your device from fixed template text and simple arithmetic over the entries you made. No content is transmitted to produce them.

If AI features or any other off-device processing return in a future version, this Policy and the App Store disclosures will be updated first, and the App will request separate, specific permission before anything is transmitted.

6. Apple purchases

UNdrift Unlimited is a one-time purchase made through Apple's App Store. Apple processes the payment and payment credentials. UNdrift does not receive your name, Apple Account email, payment-card details, or billing address.

The App reads the purchase entitlement from Apple's StoreKit on your device to decide whether the people limit applies. That entitlement is not sent to the Provider; there is no UNdrift server to send it to.

Apple separately processes purchases, refunds, billing, tax, and App Store statistics under Apple's terms and privacy policy.

7. Notifications and widgets

UNdrift schedules local notifications on the device. No remote push-notification server is used.

The home-screen widget uses a small shared local file. The current design shows a mood and a count, not contact names. The widget does not independently access the UNdrift relationship database or send data anywhere.

8. No analytics or advertising

UNdrift does not collect usage analytics and does not use third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs. Version 1.8 removed the first-party anonymous usage measurement offered by earlier versions.

Apple may show the Provider aggregate App Store statistics, such as download counts, under Apple's terms and only for users who have agreed to share such information with developers in their Apple settings. The Provider cannot identify individual users from those statistics.

9. Website and support information

When you visit the UNdrift website, Netlify or another hosting provider may process ordinary web-server information such as IP address, browser and device information, requested page, timestamp, referring page, and security or diagnostic information. UNdrift does not use advertising cookies or third-party marketing trackers on the website.

If you email support, the Provider receives the information in your email, including your email address and anything you choose to include. Support information is used to respond, troubleshoot, protect the service, and comply with law. Do not include sensitive relationship notes unless necessary.

Support correspondence is retained only as long as reasonably necessary for support, security, accounting, legal compliance, or dispute resolution.

10. Purposes and legal bases

Depending on the context and applicable law, information is processed to:

1. perform the contract and provide the App's functions, which happens on your device;
2. verify the one-time purchase through Apple's StoreKit and prevent fraud or abuse;
3. protect the App, users, and the website;
4. respond to support and legal requests; and
5. comply with legal obligations.

Where processing relies on consent, consent must be clear, specific, provable, and easy to withdraw. Where another legal basis is used, the Provider will apply it only where permitted by applicable law.

You are responsible for having authority or another lawful basis to enter and hold information about another person.

11. Service providers and international processing

Relevant service providers may include:

1. Apple, for App Store distribution, StoreKit purchases, and Apple-controlled statistics;
2. Netlify and associated infrastructure providers, for the website and legal pages; and
3. email and network providers used for support.

These providers may process information in countries outside your residence. The Provider will use contractual, technical, organisational, and other safeguards appropriate to the service and applicable law. Mandatory data-transfer rights are preserved.

12. Retention

Local relationship information remains on your device until you delete it, reset it, remove the App, or the device or operating system removes it. Local backups may remain after an ordinary reset until separately deleted or until the App container is removed.

Support correspondence is retained as described in Section 9.

Apple, Netlify, email providers, and other independent or contracted providers retain information according to their roles, contractual settings, and legal obligations.

13. Security

UNdrift uses reasonable measures appropriate to its architecture, including iOS sandboxing, device encryption provided by iOS, on-device verification of Apple's signed purchase records, and the absence of any UNdrift server that could hold your data.

No system can guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for protecting your device passcode, Apple Account, backups, and email account.

14. Your choices and rights

Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to information, access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, withdrawal of consent, and complaint to a regulator.

Because your relationship information stays on your device, you can view, change, reset, or delete it directly in the App. The only information the Provider may hold about you is support correspondence you sent; for that, contact the addresses below.

The Provider may need to verify your request and may retain information where legally required or necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

15. Children

UNdrift is not directed to children under 13 and does not knowingly permit them to use the App. A parent or guardian must supervise a minor who is legally permitted to use the App.

Do not enter personal data about a child unless you are legally authorised and the processing is lawful, necessary, and appropriate.

16. Changes

The Provider may update this Policy when the App, providers, law, security measures, or data practices change. Material changes will be presented through an appropriate notice, and new consent will be requested where required.

The effective date and version identify the current Policy.
