Privacy Policy

Last updated July 9, 2026

Braid is a private space for two people. This page explains what we collect, why, and what you can do about it — in plain language, not legalese.

What we collect

Account information: your name, email address, and a password (we store a salted, one-way hash of it — never the password itself, and we can't see it either).

The content you and your partner create: daily question answers, journal entries, calendar events, love notes, bucket list items, milestones, love coupons, love language quiz results, gift ideas, mood check-ins, weekly relationship check-ins, and photos you upload. This is the actual substance of the app — it exists so Braid can show it back to you and your partner.

Settings: things like your timezone, notification preferences, an optional accent color, and your relationship start date, so the app behaves the way you've set it up.

Device/technical data: your IP address (used only for security — rate-limiting login and password-reset attempts to block abuse, never for tracking or profiling), and a push notification subscription if you enable notifications (an endpoint and encryption keys your device generates, used solely to deliver your own notifications to your own device).

Waitlist signups: if you join the pre-launch waitlist on this page, we store just your email address, to email you once when Braid is live — nothing else.

What we don't do

Who we share it with

Two service providers, both strictly to make the app function:

• Cloudflare — hosts the app, its database, and your photos. They process data on our behalf; they don't use it for their own purposes.
• Resend — delivers transactional email only (password reset codes, waitlist confirmation). It sees the email address and content of that one message, nothing more.

We don't share your journal entries, photos, or any relationship content with anyone else, ever.

Your partner can see some of this

Braid is built around two linked accounts. Shared content — the calendar, journal, love notes, milestones, photos, and similar — is visible to whichever account you're linked with. That's the point of the app, but it's worth stating plainly: this isn't private from your partner the way it's private from everyone else.

Deleting your account

Settings → Account lets you permanently delete your account after confirming your password. This removes your login credentials, active sessions, and push notification subscriptions immediately, along with everything you personally added — your journal entries, photos, daily/check-in answers, mood check-ins, love language results, calendar events, milestones, bucket list items, coupons, gift ideas, and love notes.

If you're linked with a partner, this also unlinks the two of you. Anything they personally added stays with their account untouched.

Exporting your data

The "Export our story" feature (in the app) lets you download your journal entries, love notes, milestones, bucket list, coupons, and photo references as one file, any time you want a copy.

Security

Passwords are hashed and salted, never stored or logged in plain text. Login and password-reset attempts are rate-limited to block automated abuse. Sessions can be revoked (e.g. a password reset logs you out everywhere).

Children

Braid isn't directed at children and isn't intended for anyone under 13.

Changes to this policy

If this changes in a meaningful way, we'll update the date at the top of this page.
