Privacy Policy

Last updated: 29 October 2026

Sunsay is the app for couples, especially when distance gets in the way: a question every evening, your photos of the day, your moods, the distance between you, widgets and, on iPhone, a voice note from your other half in your alarm. This page explains, in plain terms, what data we process, why, and how you can control it. What you share in Sunsay is only seen by you and your other half.

Your account

• An anonymous identifier, created the first time you open the app. Sunsay never asks for an email address or a phone number.
• Your first name and, if you add one, your profile photo: your other half sees them.
• An email address, only if you protect your account with Apple ("Continue with Apple"): it lets you get your account back on another phone. With "Hide My Email", Apple only gives us a relay address. Without this step, no email address is collected.

What you share as a couple

When you link your account with your other half's (with a code), Sunsay keeps, for the two of you only:

• your answers to the evening question and to the cards, as text or voice, and your reactions to these answers;
• your photos of the day;
• your moods and your sweet notes;
• your drawings (the doodle), which your other half sees in the app and on their widget;
• your gestures ("Miss you", the heart to fill) and the log of your days together;
• your dates: how long you have been together, your next reunion;
• the question topics you choose;
• on iPhone, the voice notes slipped into each other's alarm.

When you save a doodle to your photos, Sunsay only adds that image, at your request: it doesn't read anything there.

Your location, approximate only

To show the distance between you and your other half's local time, you can share your approximate location, pick a city instead, or share nothing. Your location only leaves the phone rounded to about 5 km, and only while the app is open: never in the background. Your other half only sees the distance and the name of your city. The phone's time zone is also used to know what day it is where you are.

Notifications and widgets

• A notification token, to let you know when your other half answers, thinks of you or sends a photo. Never any advertising.
• Your widgets show your data (your days, your photos, your other half's mood…). A key specific to your account lets them read it without opening the app. On iPhone, a silent Apple notification can refresh them when your other half does something.

Sunsay+

Purchases go through the App Store or Google Play: we never see your payment details. RevenueCat, our subscription provider, receives your account's anonymous identifier, your subscription status and your Sunsay+ purchase history (plan, purchase and renewal dates), to turn on Sunsay+ for the two of you.

Measurement and diagnostics

• Usage events (a screen opened, a step completed), tied to your anonymous identifier, to understand what works: PostHog (hosted in the United States) and our own technical log.
• Crash reports (Sentry), to fix bugs.

No advertising, no advertising trackers, no data sold. Sunsay does not use your phone's advertising identifier and does not track you across other apps.

Your messages to the team

What you send from "Write to us", or in reply to a message from the team (a rating, a text, a voice note), is only read by the Sunsay team.

Where your data lives

With Firebase (Google Cloud): the database and our server functions are in Europe (Belgium). Transfers are encrypted. Our providers: Google Firebase (hosting), Apple (Sign in with Apple, notifications), Expo (notification delivery), RevenueCat (subscriptions), PostHog (usage measurement) and Sentry (crashes). Each one only receives what it needs for its service.

How long

• Your data stays as long as your account exists, except for the following.
• Without Sunsay+, a photo of the day disappears the next day (4 a.m. at the latest), and an alarm voice note after you wake up. With Sunsay+, they stay in Our story.
• A linking code is no longer accepted 24 hours after it was created.
• If you unlink, neither of you can read the couple's story anymore, and your drawings are erased.

Unlinking, deleting your account

• Unlinking (Profile, Your other half) cuts the link right away: your other half can no longer reach you or see what you share. No notification is sent to them.
• Delete my account (at the bottom of the Profile) permanently deletes your account and your data from our servers: first name, photos, answers, voice notes, moods, sweet notes, drawings, location, log, tokens, feedback. If your account is linked to Apple, an Apple confirmation is required and Apple's access to your account is revoked. This cannot be undone. Your subscription itself is cancelled in the App Store or Google Play settings.
• What remains: content someone reported, kept for moderation; and what your other half wrote, which belongs to them.
• By email too: sunsayapp@gmail.com, and we delete your data on request.

Reporting content

Sunsay shows content written by your other half. You can report an answer (long-press it), or report your other half and unlink from the Profile. Every report is reviewed, and content that breaks our terms is taken down within 24 hours.

Earlier versions

Before 2.0, Sunsay was an alarm clock among friends: it also kept a friends list, a Sunsay name (your @) and the voice messages sent between friends. This data remains for people still using those versions, and is deleted with the account.

Minimum age

Sunsay is for people aged 13 or older. The app is not intended for, and is not directed at, children under 13. If you are under 13, do not use Sunsay and do not send us any personal data.

If we learn that an account belongs to someone under 13, we delete it along with the associated data.
