Privacy Policy

Effective date: March 20, 2026

deed ("we", "our", or "us") is an independent app operated by an individual developer. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights. By using deed, you agree to the practices described here. This app is intended for users in the United States.

1. Information We Collect

2. How We Use Your Information

3. Data Storage

Your data is stored securely using Google Firebase (Firestore and Firebase Storage), hosted in the United States. We use Firebase Authentication to manage sign-in and never store your passwords.

4. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. Content you post (deeds, comments, profile) is visible to other signed-in users of the app. We do not share your personal data with third parties except:

5. AI Content Review

When you post a deed, the title and description are submitted to an automated AI system (powered by Anthropic's Claude) for content verification. This review checks whether the deed appears to be a genuine act of community service and flags content that may be fabricated, harmful, or in violation of our terms. Only the text of your deed is sent — no personal identifiers are included. Deeds flagged by the AI may be reviewed by eligible community members (peer review) or by deed staff before being published.

6. Community Scoring and Peer Review

deed maintains a community scoring system that tracks your deed activity, engagement, and consistency. Your score and tier are visible to other users. Deeds flagged during AI review may be submitted to peer review, where users with a sufficient deed score can vote to approve or reject the content. Peer reviewers see only the deed content — not your personal information.

7. User-Generated Content and Other Users

deed is a social platform. Content posted by other users, including photos that may incidentally include you, is outside our direct control. If you believe another user has posted content that violates your privacy, contact us immediately at support@deedapp.app and we will review and remove it if appropriate.

8. Push Notifications

If you grant notification permission, we may send you push notifications for: likes and thanks on your deeds, comments, friend requests, streak reminders, and milestone celebrations. You can disable notifications at any time in your device settings. We do not use push notifications for advertising.

9. Data Retention and Account Deletion

We retain your data for as long as your account is active. You can request deletion of your account and all associated data at any time by contacting us at support@deedapp.app. We will process deletion requests within 45 days. Note that content you have posted that other users have interacted with (likes, comments) may leave trace references that are not personally identifiable.

10. Children's Privacy

deed is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately at support@deedapp.app and we will delete it promptly.

11. California Residents (CCPA)

California residents have the right to know what personal information we collect, request deletion, and opt out of the sale of personal information (we do not sell personal information). To exercise these rights, contact us at support@deedapp.app. We will respond within 45 days.

12. Your Rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data at any time by contacting us at support@deedapp.app. You may also withdraw consent by deleting your account.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will notify users of significant changes through the app. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
