DadVice Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 27, 2026

DadVice ("we," "us," "the app") helps fathers find relevant wisdom and quotes for the situations they face. This policy explains what we collect, why, who we share it with, and your choices. We keep data collection to the minimum needed to run and improve the app.

DadVice does not use accounts or sign-in. When you first open the app, it creates a random identifier on your device (a "device ID"). We use it only to keep your saved quotes and preferences together. It is not linked to your name, email, or phone number.

Information We Collect

• Your preferences. The life situation and child stage you choose during setup, and your daily reminder setting. Stored on your device and on our server with your device ID, so quotes can be matched to you.
• Your saved quotes. Quotes you save are stored on our server with your device ID so they appear in your Saved tab.
• What you type on the Ask tab, only with your permission. Before your first question, the app asks whether it may send your text to Anthropic, our AI provider, to check it for safety topics and to personalize Deeper Understanding. If you choose Not now, your text stays on your device, and you still get a quote matched by keywords. You can change this anytime in Settings → Personalized answers. We do not store your questions on our server.
• App usage analytics. Anonymous events about how the app is used (for example: setup completed, a question was asked, a quote was saved or shared, the subscription screen was viewed), plus basic device information such as device model, operating system, app version, and approximate location (country or region, derived from your IP address). Analytics never include the text you type, your profile answers, or the quotes you view.
• Crash and error reports. If the app crashes or hits an error, it sends a technical report (device model, operating system, app version, and the error details) so we can fix it. Crash reports do not include the text you type or your profile answers.
• Subscription status. If you subscribe to DadVice PRO, we receive your subscription status and purchase receipts from Apple or Google through our payments provider, so we can unlock premium features. We never see your payment card details.

How We Use Your Information

• To provide the app: matching quotes to your situation, saving your quotes, and showing Deeper Understanding.
• To keep the Ask tab safe: questions about crisis topics are redirected to emergency and crisis resources instead of a quote.
• To send your daily reminder. The reminder is scheduled on your device; we do not send it from a server.
• To understand which features are used and to measure whether our advertising works.
• To find and fix crashes and errors.
• To process subscriptions and manage access to premium features.

Who We Share It With

We share limited data with service providers only as needed to run the app. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use the App Tracking Transparency advertising identifier on iPhone.

• Anthropic (AI provider): receives the text you type on the Ask tab, only if you allow it, to check it and to write a personalized Deeper Understanding. Deeper Understanding from the Today and Saved tabs sends only the quote itself. Under Anthropic's commercial terms, data sent through its API is not used to train its models. We do not send your name, email, or device ID. See Anthropic's Privacy Center.
• Supabase (database and server): stores your device ID, preferences, and saved quotes, and relays Ask requests to Anthropic.
• Google Firebase Analytics: receives the anonymous usage events and device information described above, linked to a random analytics ID. On Android, Firebase may also receive your device's advertising ID, which you can reset or delete in your Android settings.
• Sentry: receives crash and error reports.
• RevenueCat (subscriptions): receives an anonymous app user ID, purchase receipts, and your analytics ID so subscriptions can be counted in our analytics.
• Apple App Store / Google Play: process subscription purchases and billing.

Data Retention & Deletion

You can delete your data at any time from Settings → Delete My Data in the app. This permanently removes your preferences and saved quotes from our server, clears all DadVice data from your device, cancels your daily reminder, and resets your analytics ID. See our Delete Your Data page for details.

Anonymous analytics are kept for up to 14 months. Crash reports are kept for up to 90 days. Data sent to Anthropic is kept by Anthropic only for a limited period under its commercial terms.

Children's Privacy

DadVice is not directed to children under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18.

Security

We use industry-standard measures, including HTTPS/TLS encryption in transit and database rules that let each device access only its own saved quotes and preferences. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we work to safeguard your information.

Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete your data. You can delete your data directly in the app via Settings → Delete My Data, change AI permission in Settings → Personalized answers, or contact us at contact@dadvice.app for other requests.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by the "Last updated" date above.
