TribeTimePrivacy Policy
This policy explains what information the TribeTime mobile app ("TribeTime", "we", "us") collects, how it is used and shared, and how you can delete it. If you have questions, email support@tribetimeapp.com.
Information we collect
| Information | Why we collect it |
|---|---|
| Account details: name, email address, password, and phone number (optional) | To create your account, sign you in, and show your name to members of tribes you join. Passwords are handled by our authentication provider and stored only in hashed form. |
| Profile photo (optional) | Shown on your profile and to members of your tribes. Only uploaded if you choose a photo. |
| Tribe membership: tribes you create or join, and your role (chief or member) | To show you the right calendars and announcements and control who can post. |
| Content you post: event titles, descriptions, locations, dates, and announcements | To share it with the members of the tribe you posted it to. |
| Read status of announcements | To show which announcements you have already read and your unread count. |
| Push notification token and device platform (Android or iOS) | To deliver push notifications about new events and announcements to your device. |
| Notification preference | To respect your choice to turn push notifications on or off. |
Device permissions
- Notifications — to show push notifications. You can turn this off in your device settings or in the app.
- Calendar — only when you tap sync, to add tribe events to a "Tribe Time" calendar on your device. Calendar data stays on your device and is not sent to us.
- Photos — only when you choose a profile photo. We upload only the photo you pick.
Stored only on your device
The app keeps your sign-in session, chosen theme, last-opened tab and the list of announcements you've cleared in local storage on your device. This data is not sent to us and is removed when you uninstall the app.
What we don't collect
TribeTime does not show ads, does not use advertising or analytics trackers, does not collect your location, and does not read your contacts or other calendars.
Who can see your information
- Members of your tribes can see your name, profile photo, role, and anything posted to that tribe.
- People outside your tribes cannot see your tribes, events or announcements.
How we share information
We do not sell your personal information or share it for advertising. We use these service providers to run the app, and they process data only on our behalf:
- Supabase — database, authentication and file storage hosting.
- Expo (650 Industries) — push notification delivery service.
- Google Firebase Cloud Messaging and Apple Push Notification service — deliver notifications to Android and iOS devices.
We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect the safety of our users.
Security
All data is sent over encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS). Access to tribe data is restricted at the database level so that only members of a tribe can read it, and only chiefs can post to it.
Retention
- Your account information is kept until you delete your account.
- Announcements expire and are hidden from the app 30 days after they are sent.
- Push tokens are removed when you log out, delete your account, or when the push service reports that the device is no longer registered.
Deleting your data
You can delete your account at any time from inside the app (Profile → Delete Account), or by request if you no longer have the app. Deleting your account permanently removes your account, profile, profile photo, tribe memberships, read status and push tokens. Tribes you created remain available to their other members. See Delete your account for step-by-step instructions.
Children
TribeTime is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we will delete it.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, export or delete your personal information. You can update your profile in the app, and you can contact us at support@tribetimeapp.com for any other request. We respond within 30 days.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy we will update the effective date above, and for significant changes we will notify you in the app.
