Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 6, 2025

Lost Echoes is a quiet social app. We collect only what is needed to operate the service and keep it safe.

Information We Collect

  • Account information: Email, display name, and identifiers from your sign-in provider.
  • Content: Echoes you post and resonances (replies) you create.
  • Location: Approximate or precise location when you choose to place or discover echoes.
  • Device and usage: Basic diagnostics and app version for reliability and security.
  • Notifications: Push notification token to deliver updates you opt into.

How We Use Information

  • Provide core features (placing, discovering, and replying to echoes).
  • Personalize nearby content based on your location settings.
  • Communicate important updates, if you enable notifications.
  • Protect the service from abuse and troubleshoot issues.

How We Share Information

We do not sell your data. We may share data with service providers (e.g., hosting, analytics, push delivery) who process it on our behalf under strict confidentiality and security commitments, and when required by law or to protect safety.

Your Choices

  • Location: Control location permissions in your device settings at any time.
  • Notifications: Enable or disable push notifications in your device settings.
  • Access or deletion: Contact us to request a copy or deletion of your data, subject to legal and safety obligations.

Data Retention

We keep information as long as necessary to provide the service and for legitimate business needs (e.g., safety, compliance). When no longer needed, we delete or anonymize it.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data. No system can be 100% secure.

Children

Lost Echoes is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or as required by local law). We do not knowingly collect data from children.

International Transfers

Your data may be processed in countries other than your own. We apply safeguards appropriate to the transfer.
