Crushline Privacy Policy
Effective Date: June 04, 2026
1. Who We Are
Crushline ("Crushline," "we," "us," or "our") is operated by Timur Demir, an individual developer based in the United States. Crushline is a mobile application (the "Service") that uses artificial intelligence to suggest replies for dating and relationship conversations. You can type a message or upload a screenshot or photo, and Crushline generates suggested replies.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices and rights you have. If you have questions, contact us at crushlineapp@gmail.com.
Crushline is intended only for adults aged 18 and over.
2. Information We Collect
a) Account information.
When you sign in with Apple or Google, we receive your email address, your name (or display name), and a unique user identifier from Apple or Google. If you use Sign in with Apple, you may choose to hide your email, in which case Apple provides a private relay email address. We use this information to create and secure your account.
b) Profile information.
During onboarding you may provide: your gender, age range, name, relationship goals, answers to a short personality and messaging-style questionnaire, how you heard about us, and your language and theme preferences. We use this to personalize the suggestions Crushline generates for you. This profile is stored in our database (Supabase).
c) User content.
This is the text you type and the screenshots or photos you upload to get suggestions. See Section 4 for exactly how your content is processed by AI.
d) Subscription and transaction information.
If you purchase a subscription, we receive your subscription status and transaction details (such as the product purchased and whether your subscription is active) from Apple, Google, and our subscription manager, RevenueCat. We do NOT receive or store your credit or debit card details; those are handled solely by Apple or Google.
e) Device and diagnostic information.
When the app communicates with our servers (our AI proxy) and with our app-update service (Expo), standard technical information such as your IP address and your app/runtime version is transmitted as a normal part of those network requests. We do not use any analytics, advertising, tracking, or crash-reporting tools, and we do not build advertising profiles about you.
f) Permissions.
Crushline requests access to your photo library so you can select screenshots to analyze. Crushline does NOT use your camera or microphone (these are disabled). Crushline may ask permission to send you notifications; this is handled by your device, and we do not register or store a push notification token on any server.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to:
- create, secure, and operate your account;
- generate AI suggestions based on your text and screenshots;
- personalize suggestions using your profile;
- process and manage your subscription;
- maintain the security and reliability of the Service;
- respond to your support requests; and
- comply with our legal obligations.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use your information for advertising.
4. How AI Processes Your Content (Important)
When you ask Crushline for suggestions, the text you type and any screenshots you upload are sent — at that moment and only to generate your suggestions — through the following chain: our own proxy server (hosted on Render.com) to OpenRouter to an OpenAI model (currently GPT-4.1-mini, with a GPT-5-class model used as a fallback).
Key points:
- Screenshots are compressed on your device before being sent.
- Your screenshots and text are processed transiently to produce suggestions. We do NOT store your screenshots on our servers after processing.
- Under the API terms of these providers, your content is not used to train their AI models.
- The screenshots you upload remain referenced within your chat history, which is stored only on your device (see Section 5).
- Screenshots you upload may contain another person's information. You are responsible for having the right to share it (see our Terms of Service). Such content is processed transiently to generate suggestions and is not stored on our servers.
To the extent the text or screenshots you submit contain special categories of personal data (for example, information that may reveal health, religion, or sexual orientation), you provide them voluntarily, and we process them solely to generate your suggestions on the basis of your explicit consent (Article 9(2)(a)).
Before your first upload, Crushline asks you to consent to this AI processing.
5. Where Your Data Is Stored
- On your device: Your chat history and the suggestions you receive are stored only on your device using local storage. They are not uploaded to our servers or the cloud. Other on-device-only items include your AI-consent choice, a daily screenshot counter, anonymous in-app usage signals (for example, counts of how often suggestions are copied; these are stored only on your device and are not collected by us), and your app preferences.
- In our database (Supabase): Your account identity and the profile information described in Section 2(b), plus your subscription status.
- Securely on your device: Your login session tokens are stored in your device's secure storage (Apple Keychain / Android Keystore).
6. Who We Share Information With
We share information only with the following third parties, and only as needed to operate Crushline:
- Apple — to provide Sign in with Apple (email, name, user identifier) and to process App Store subscription payments.
- Google — to provide Sign in with Google (email, name, profile, user identifier) and to process Google Play subscription payments.
- Supabase (Supabase, Inc.) — to store your account identity and profile information.
- Render (our cloud hosting provider) — hosts our proxy server; your text and screenshots pass through it in transit on the way to the AI provider. We do not store your content there.
- OpenRouter (OpenRouter, Inc.) — routes your AI request (text and screenshots) to the AI model provider.
- OpenAI — provides the AI model that generates suggestions from your text and screenshots.
- RevenueCat (RevenueCat, Inc.) — manages your subscription status and entitlements. It receives your app user identifier and subscription/transaction status. It does NOT receive your payment card details.
- Expo (Expo / EAS Update) — delivers over-the-air updates to the app; your device contacts Expo's servers when the app launches to check for updates (receiving your IP address and app/runtime version).
We may also disclose information if required by law, or to protect the rights, safety, and security of Crushline, our users, or others.
7. Data Retention
- Account and profile information: retained while your account is active. When you delete your account, this information is deleted (see Section 10).
- Screenshots: not stored on our servers; processed transiently and then discarded.
- Chat history: stored on your device only; it remains until you delete it, delete your account, or uninstall the app.
- Subscription and transaction records: retained as long as necessary to provide the Service and as required by applicable law (for example, tax and accounting obligations, typically for up to the period those laws require, generally up to 7–10 years).
8. Legal Basis for Processing (EEA/UK)
If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we rely on the following legal bases to process your information: performance of a contract (creating and operating your account, generating suggestions, and managing your subscription — Article 6(1)(b)); consent (sending your screenshots and text to the AI providers, and sending you notifications — you may withdraw your consent at any time — Article 6(1)(a)); legitimate interests (keeping the Service secure and responding to your support requests — Article 6(1)(f)); and legal obligation (retaining transaction records — Article 6(1)(c)).
Where any profile information you provide reveals special categories of data (for example, data that may indicate your sexual orientation), we process it only on the basis of your explicit consent (Article 9(2)(a)), which you may withdraw at any time.
9. Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you have the following rights.
If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom (GDPR), you have the right to: access your data; correct inaccurate data; request erasure; restrict or object to processing; data portability; and withdraw consent at any time. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority.
If you are a California resident (CCPA/CPRA), you have the right to: know what personal information we collect and how we use it; request deletion; request correction; and opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. We do not sell or share your personal information as those terms are defined under California law. You will not be discriminated against for exercising your rights.
To exercise any of these rights, email us at crushlineapp@gmail.com. You can also delete your account and associated data directly in the app (see Section 10). We respond to rights requests within 30 days (extendable where permitted by law).
10. Account Deletion
You can delete your account at any time from within the app: open the Settings tab, go to the Danger Zone section, and tap Delete Account. This permanently deletes your account and the profile information stored in our database. Your on-device chat history is also removed.
Important: Deleting your account does NOT automatically cancel your subscription. You must cancel an active subscription separately through your Apple App Store or Google Play account settings.
If you cannot access the app, email crushlineapp@gmail.com from your account's email address and we will delete your account. We respond to deletion requests within 30 days.
11. Children's Privacy
Crushline is intended only for users aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If we learn that we have collected information from a person under 18, we will delete it. If you believe a minor has provided us information, contact crushlineapp@gmail.com.
12. Security
We protect your information using industry-standard measures, including encryption of data in transit (TLS/HTTPS). Your login session is stored in your device's secure storage. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to protect your information.
If a data breach affects your personal data and is likely to result in a high risk to your rights, we will notify you and the relevant authorities as required by applicable law.
13. International Data Transfers
We and our third-party providers may process and store your information in the United States and other countries. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards for such transfers, such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses and, where applicable, our providers' participation in the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.
14. Third-Party Links and Services
The third-party services listed in Section 6 have their own privacy policies that govern how they handle your information. We encourage you to review them.
We do not track you across third-party websites or services, and therefore we do not respond to "Do Not Track" signals.
15. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date below and, where appropriate, notify you in the app.
