PRIVACY POLICY

TAD Labs ("we," "us," or "our") built Pulse as a private connection app for couples. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights.
Information We Collect
Account Information: When you create an account, we collect your email address, display name, and date of birth (used solely for age verification).
Partner Connection Data: We store your pairing status and a unique invite code to connect you with your partner.
App Activity: We store the haptic tap patterns you send and receive, quiz answers, game states, daily question responses, mood check-ins, notes, chat messages, drawings, and pet/streak activity between you and your partner.
Photos: Photos you choose to share through the app are uploaded to and stored on Google Firebase Storage. Photos are only accessible to you and your paired partner. Photos are deleted from our servers when you delete your account.
Device Information: We collect your device's push notification token to deliver haptic pulse notifications. This token is removed from our servers when you sign out or delete your account.

We do not sell, trade, or share your personal information with third parties, except:
• With your paired partner (only the data you both generate together) • With Google Firebase as our infrastructure provider • With Expo (Expo Push Service) solely to deliver push notifications • If required by law
