TrueCircle Privacy Policy
Your Privacy is Our Top Priority
Last Updated: September 23, 2025
Zero Data Collection Guarantee
TrueCircle collects ZERO personal data. This guarantee applies to both the Demo and Fully Functional modes of the app. We cannot access, collect, or share any of your personal information because the app is designed with a privacy-first architecture and operates completely offline.
1. Information We Do NOT Collect
TrueCircle is designed to collect NO personal data whatsoever. Specifically, we do NOT collect:
- Your contacts or contact lists
- Call logs or phone communication records
- SMS or text messages
- Location data or GPS information
- Personal identification information
- Device identifiers or advertising IDs
- App usage analytics or behavior tracking
- Any files, photos, or media from your device
- Internet browsing history
- Financial or payment information
2. How the App Works (Your Choice of Mode)
TrueCircle operates in two modes, and the decision to switch to the Fully Functional mode depends entirely on you:
- Demo Mode (Default): The app starts in this mode by default. It uses only pre-loaded sample data to demonstrate the app’s functionality. In this mode, none of your personal data is used.
- Fully Functional Mode (Optional): You can choose to switch to this mode at your discretion. In this mode, the app analyzes your real-life relationships entirely offline on your device. No data is ever sent to an external server.
Important: When you see “relationship analysis” in the app, it is either analyzing the sample demo data or your real data on your own device. No data leaves your device.
3. Permissions and Data Access
TrueCircle requests ZERO dangerous permissions:
- ⛔ No contacts permission
- ⛔ No call log permission
- ⛔ No SMS permission
- ⛔ No location permission
- ⛔ No storage permission for personal files
Only Safe Permission:
- Internet permission – Used only for app updates and educational content downloads (optional).
4. Data Storage and Security
- What’s Stored: Only app preferences and settings (like language choice) are stored locally on your device. Your relationship data is also stored locally when you choose to switch to the fully functional mode.
- Where It’s Stored: All data remains on your device only—nothing is sent to external servers.
- Encryption: App preferences and your relationship data are stored using a secure, on-device encryption mechanism.
- No Cloud Storage: TrueCircle does not use any cloud storage services or remote databases.
5. Third-Party Services
TrueCircle does NOT integrate with any third-party data collection services:
- No Google Analytics or Firebase Analytics
- No Facebook SDK or Meta tracking
- No advertising networks or ad tracking
- No crash reporting services that collect personal data
- No social media integration
6. Children’s Privacy (COPPA Compliance)
While TrueCircle is designed for users 13 and older, our zero-data-collection approach means:
- ✅ No personal information is collected from users of any age
- ✅ No behavioral tracking or profiling occurs
- ✅ Educational content is appropriate for learning purposes
- ✅ Parents can review the app’s functionality without privacy concerns
7. International Data Transfers
Not Applicable: Since TrueCircle collects no personal data, there are no international data transfers to disclose.
8. Your Rights and Choices
Because we collect no personal data, traditional privacy rights don’t apply, but we guarantee:
- ✅ Right to Transparency: This privacy policy fully discloses our zero-data approach.
- ✅ Right to Deletion: Simply uninstall the app to remove all local preferences.
- ✅ Right to Access: You can view all app settings within the app itself.
- ✅ Right to Object: No data collection means nothing to object to.
9. Data Retention
- Retention Period: N/A – No personal data is collected or retained.
- Local App Data: App preferences and your optional relationship data are stored locally until you uninstall the app.
10. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this privacy policy to reflect app improvements or regulatory requirements. Any changes will:
- ✅ Be posted with a new “Last Updated” date.
- ✅ Be reflected in app updates.
- ✅ Maintain our commitment to zero data collection.
Material changes will be communicated through app update notifications.
