Privacy

Draft — last updated 2026-05-04. Plain-English version; the operator may revise.

What we store

  • Email address. Used only for sign-in and account recovery. Never shown to other users.
  • Display name, generated handle, bio, profile photo and color. Visible to your isle of 31 and to anyone signed up to isle31 who sees your posts on the feed.
  • Messages, posts, DMs, reactions, follows.Stored to make the app work. Chat is visible only to your isle. Posts are visible to everyone signed up to isle31 (the feed is currently in beta and open to all users). DMs are visible only to the two participants.
  • Notification tokens (FCM). Stored only if you opt in to push notifications, and only used to send isle31 alerts.
  • Reports and feature requests. Visible only to the operator.

What we don't do

  • We don't sell or share your data with third parties.
  • We don't show ads.
  • We don't run an algorithmic feed — your feed is chronological and scoped.
  • We don't use your content to train AI models.

Where it's stored

Data is stored in Google Firebase (Firestore + Auth) on US-region servers. Sign-in tokens are managed by Firebase Authentication. We don't operate our own servers beyond static page hosting.

Deleting your data

You can delete your account from your profile page. Deletion immediately removes your sign-in credentials and locks you out. Your past messages and posts may remain in the chat/feed history of the people you sent them to, attributed as “deleted user,” to preserve continuity. For full content removal, message Shaman from inside the app.

Cookies and tracking

isle31 uses local browser storage (IndexedDB) to keep you signed in. No third-party tracking pixels, no ad networks. Firebase may set a small number of essential cookies for sign-in.
