Privacy Policy

Last Updated: June 23, 2026

Welcome to Holdy! This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal data when you download, access, or use the Holdy mobile application.

1. Information We Collect

To provide a seamless gift-exchange experience, we collect the following information:

Authentication Data: Your user ID and display name provided by your third-party authentication provider (Google Sign-In or Sign in with Apple).

App Data: The content of the digital gifts you send (custom text greetings, selected postcard visuals, and attached activation links or QR codes) and your contact network details within the app.

Device Information: Push notification tokens to notify you when a gift is ready to be opened or when a friend invites you to their circle.

Note: We do not request access to your device's address book. All contacts are added securely via unique invite links.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your data solely to operate, maintain, and provide the core features of the Holdy service, including:

• Creating and managing your personal user profile.

• Delivering digital surprises and gifts to your recipients on the set unlock dates.

• Managing push notifications for gift delivery and countdown alerts.

• Improving and securing backend infrastructure.

3. Data Sharing and Third Parties

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing or advertising purposes. We use trusted third-party service providers (Google Firebase) strictly for secure database hosting, user authentication, and backend computations. These providers are bound by strict data protection agreements.

4. Data Retention and Deletion

Your data is stored securely in our cloud database. You have full control over your data at any time:

Account Deletion: You can delete your account permanently directly from the Profile screen inside the app. This action immediately and permanently deletes your user profile, your connections, and all gifts you have received.

Data Modification: You can delete individual gifts or remove connections from your contact list at any time.

5. Security

We implement industry-standard security measures, including data encryption in transit and at rest, to protect your personal details. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Children's Privacy

Holdy is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or 16 in the EU). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have collected data from a child under the legal age of consent, we will take steps to delete that information and terminate the account immediately.
