Privacy Policy

Last updated October 18, 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 an Apple push notification device token if you enable notifications, used to deliver notifications to your device.

Waitlist signups: if you join the launch notification list on the homepage, we store your email address and signup time. We send a signup confirmation and let you know when Braid launches.

Website analytics: our public website uses Cloudflare Web Analytics to measure visits and page performance.

What we don't do

Who we share it with

We use these service providers to run Braid and its public website:

• Cloudflare — hosts the app backend, its database, your photos, and this website. It also provides website analytics.
• Apple — delivers push notifications when you enable them. Apple receives your device token and the notification payload needed for delivery.
• Resend — delivers transactional email only (password reset codes, waitlist confirmation). It sees the email address and content of that one message, nothing more.

Beyond these service providers and your linked partner, we don't share your relationship content.

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

Deleting your account permanently removes your login credentials, active sessions, and push notification device tokens immediately, along with everything you personally added — your journal entries, photos, daily question and weekly 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. Your partner keeps their account and the content they personally created. For help with account deletion, contact us.

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.
