Effective date: September 1, 2026
PresenceBond helps you be more present with the people around you through personal focus sessions, paired presence sessions, shared schedules, weekly notes, reminders, and optional app shielding. This policy explains what we store, what stays on your device, and how to reach us.
Account Information
When you create an account, PresenceBond stores your account name, email address, and an internal user ID, along with basic profile settings such as your display name and timezone.
Pairing Relationships and Shared Settings
If you pair with another user, we store the pairing relationship, your partner’s email address, pairing status, pairing code metadata, shared proximity sensitivity, shared schedules, consent preferences, and other settings you and your partner choose to share.
Schedules and Session Summaries
We store personal focus schedules, shared Together Time schedules, and summaries of focus or presence sessions — such as session type, start and end times, duration, and whether a session was manual, scheduled, paired, or proximity-based.
Bypass History and Usage Counts
We may store records of when an app was bypassed during a session, daily bypass counts, and related usage counts used to display your progress and enforce your configured limits.
Personal and Couples Notes
If you use Personal Notes or Couples Notes, we store the note content you enter, related timestamps, reveal settings, and reveal/read state. Partner notes become visible only according to the reveal settings you configure.
Beta Feedback
If you submit beta feedback, we store your feedback type, message, the page you were on, and the platform and user-agent of the device you used.
Limited Technical Diagnostic Information
We may collect limited technical diagnostic information, such as your browser or device user-agent string, to improve reliability, diagnose issues, and provide support.
Some information is never sent to PresenceBond’s servers. The following remain on your device:
To power shared features, PresenceBond may sync through Base44 the pairing relationship, paired session state, proximity status (nearby or not), and summarized activity needed for app functionality. Raw Bluetooth observations and detailed Screen Time usage data are not synced.
Base44 acts as PresenceBond’s backend service provider, hosting app data, authentication, and server-side functions. Apple services handle Screen Time, Family Controls, and push notifications where applicable.
Our service providers process information only as needed to operate the app and are not authorized to use it for their own purposes.
We keep your account and app data for as long as your account is active. If you request account deletion, we delete or anonymize your data where reasonably possible, subject to legal, security, and technical requirements. Beta feedback and diagnostic logs may be retained for a limited period after deletion to resolve ongoing issues.
You can request deletion from Settings at any time. When you delete your account, we delete or anonymize account-related data — including pairings, notes, sessions, schedules, and feedback — where reasonably possible. Some residual data may remain in backups or logs for a limited time before being removed.
PresenceBond requests certain permissions to provide its features:
You can grant or revoke these permissions in iOS Settings at any time. Revoking a permission will limit the related features but will not delete data already stored.
We use reasonable safeguards to protect user information. No system is perfectly secure, and beta versions may contain bugs. Please report privacy or security concerns promptly.
PresenceBond is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Users should only use paired or shielding features with appropriate consent.
PresenceBond does not sell your personal information. We do not display advertising, and we do not use your information for cross-app tracking.
We may update this policy as PresenceBond changes. If we make material changes, we will update the effective date above and may notify users in the app.
