Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 20, 2026
Ocean Drop ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use the Ocean Drop mobile application ("the App") and associated website.
1. Information We Collect
Information you provide directly:
- Account information — email address and display name when you create an account.
- Relationship context — basic details about your relationship you share during onboarding (e.g., relationship duration, communication preferences).
- Cycle data — cycle start dates and phase information, either entered by you or shared by your partner through the partner sync feature.
- Feedback and reflections — responses to daily check-ins and guidance prompts.
Information collected automatically:
- Device information — device type, operating system version, and unique device identifiers.
- Usage data — app interaction data such as features used, session duration, and navigation patterns.
- Crash reports — technical logs used to diagnose and fix app issues.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to:
- Provide personalized cycle-aware guidance tailored to your relationship context.
- Deliver daily prompts, suggestions, and emotional support insights.
- Enable partner sync features when both partners opt in.
- Improve app functionality, performance, and user experience.
- Communicate service updates and respond to support requests.
We do not use your personal data for targeted advertising.
3. How We Protect Your Information
- Sensitive data (cycle data, relationship context) is encrypted on-device before any cloud synchronization.
- All data in transit is protected by TLS/SSL encryption.
- Cloud-stored data is encrypted at rest using industry-standard AES-256 encryption.
- We follow the principle of minimal data collection — we only collect what is necessary for the app to function.
4. Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties.
We may share limited data with:
- Service providers — trusted partners who help us operate the app (e.g., cloud hosting, analytics). These providers are bound by data protection agreements and process data only on our behalf.
- Legal compliance — when required by law, regulation, or valid legal process.
- Your partner — only when you explicitly use the partner sync feature and both parties consent.
5. Data Retention
We retain data only as needed to operate Ocean Drop. Local app data can be deleted from within the app on your device. For cloud/account-level data controls, use your Google account privacy controls.
- Device-local deletion: available in-app and applies to data stored on your device.
- Google account/cloud controls: managed via myaccount.google.com.
- Anonymized, aggregated usage data may be retained for product analytics.
6. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have the right to:
- Access your personal data and request a copy.
- Correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Delete local app data from your device (see our Data Deletion page for Google cloud/account controls).
- Export your data in a portable format.
- Withdraw consent for data processing at any time.
- Object to certain processing activities.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at contact@oceandrop.app.
7. Children's Privacy
Ocean Drop is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we discover that we have collected data from a child under 13, we will promptly delete it.
8. Third-Party Services
The App integrates with Google services for sign-in/account and platform operations.
- Google Account / Google Sign-In — authentication and account-related controls.
- Google Play Services — app distribution and integrity checks.
Google provides its own privacy and data management controls in your Google Account settings.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
