Privacy policy
Last updated June 2026
Circle the date is built to help you remember the people who matter, not to harvest your data. Here's exactly what we store and why.
This is a plain-language summary of how we handle your information. It is a starting template and should be reviewed by a professional before launch.
What we store
- Your account: your name, email and/or phone number, timezone, and notification preferences, used to sign you in and send reminders.
- The people you add: names, dates, optional photos, relationships, phone numbers, and any notes you write. This is your data; we only use it to power your reminders and your shared lists.
- Reminders: the scheduled and sent reminders generated from your events, so your in-app feed persists.
What we don't do
- We don't sell your data or share it with advertisers.
- We don't show ads.
- We never message the people you track on your behalf. The “send greeting” action opens your messaging app for you to send yourself.
Notifications
We use third parties to deliver push and email, and (where enabled) SMS/WhatsApp. Those providers process only what's needed to deliver a message. SMS/WhatsApp is capped each month to keep the app free; past the cap, reminders fall back to push and email automatically.
Your control
- You can edit or delete any person, event, or note at any time.
- Deleting a person removes their events and pending reminders.
- You can leave a shared list, which stops its reminders for you immediately.
- You can request deletion of your account and associated data.
