This policy explains what TeenBridge ("we", "us") collects from you, how we use it, and how you can control it. TeenBridge is built to help one parent and one teen stay connected through small, private daily moments — mood emoji, prompts, a shared calendar, and a sealed-envelope messaging surface called the Question Box. The policy below reflects what version 1.0 of the app actually does today.

When you create an account, we collect:
When you use the app, we store the things you create:
We do not collect, store, or transmit:
The data above is used only to make TeenBridge work for you and your pair partner. Specifically:
User data lives in our managed Postgres database, hosted on Supabase on infrastructure in the United States (us-east region). Transit is encrypted with TLS. Row-level security policies ensure each user can only read their own data plus their pair partner's shared rows.
TeenBridge does not currently end-to-end encrypt your messages. They are stored on our servers in a form we can read if we need to (for example, when responding to a legitimate legal request, or to investigate abuse reports). End-to-end encryption is on the roadmap for a future version and this policy will be updated when it ships.
TeenBridge is designed around two-person bridges. When you create or join a pairing, your partner gains access via our row-level security policies to:
Every photo you upload to the shared album is scanned on your device before it becomes visible to your partner. We use an Apple Vision classifier (the open-source NSFWDetector model, bundled in the app) to detect explicit content. The scan runs entirely on your iPhone — your photos are never sent to any third-party service for moderation.
You can also report any photo your partner posts. Open the album, long-press the photo, choose "Report this photo." Reports go directly to our review queue and the photo is hidden from you immediately.
We never train AI on your photos.
If you create a "surprise" calendar event, the title and details are hidden from your partner until the event date passes.
TeenBridge is intended for users 13 years of age or older. The teen role is designed for users 13–17; the parent role is designed for adults 18+.
During onboarding we ask for your birth date and block the flow if you report being under 13. TeenBridge does not knowingly collect data from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with information, contact us at lita.kelly.ltk77@gmail.com and we will delete it.
For parents of teen users (13–17): you have the right to review and delete your teen's data. The simplest path is to ask your teen to delete their account from inside the app (see "Your choices" below). If you can't reach them, email us at the address above with the teen's account email or identifying information and we'll process the request.
TeenBridge uses these third parties, who process some of your data on our behalf:
Photo safety scanning runs locally on your device via the open-source NSFWDetector classifier — no third party receives your photos for moderation purposes.
We do not use any analytics, crash-reporting, or ad-tech SDKs in v1.0.
We protect your data with industry-standard practices including TLS in transit, row-level security policies at the database, and limited administrative access. No system is perfectly secure; if we become aware of a breach affecting your data, we will notify you in accordance with applicable law.
We may update this policy. Material changes will be communicated in-app or by email. The "Effective date" at the top reflects the current version.
