⚠️ This is a thorough starting draft written for Hodge's actual data practices. It is not legal advice — have a lawyer review it before you publish, and fill in every [BRACKETED] placeholder. App Store Connect requires a public URL to this policy, and it must also be linked inside the app.

Hodge ("Hodge", "we", "us") is an app that privately coaches each partner in a relationship after a conflict. This policy explains what we collect, why, who can see it, and the control you have. Privacy isn't a feature of Hodge — it's the point.

The operator of Hodge is its independent developer, based in Hong Kong. Contact: [email protected].

The short version

• We collect the minimum needed to run the app: your account, the reflections you write, and a few relationship basics you choose to share.
• Only you and your partner can read what's shared between you. We enforce this at the database level (row-level security).
• The AI coach reads a message in the moment to help you phrase it — and keeps nothing.
• We never sell your data or use it for advertising.
• You can export or delete everything, and unpair from your partner, at any time, from inside the app.

What we collect

You give us:

• Account — your email address (and, if you use Apple/Google sign-in, the identifier they return). Passwords are handled by our authentication provider and are never stored by us in readable form.
• Your reflections — the words you write in a room (feelings, what happened, your part, plans, etc.). This is the heart of the app.
• Relationship basics (optional) — e.g. relationship status, how long you've been together, living situation, kids, pronouns. You choose what to share; you can skip.
• A private safety response — if you tell us you feel unsafe, that answer routes you to support and is never shared with your partner.
• Reports — if you report a problem, we receive the report and your account id.
