Privacy policy
Last updated: October 14, 2026
This page is a translation. In case of any discrepancy, the French version prevails.
Feel is for sharing your mood with the person who matters. FeelFriends does the same with your friends. The two apps share one account and one server, so there is a single policy: two documents would describe the same data twice and end up contradicting each other. Feel is available on iPhone and Android: this text applies to both. It was written from the apps' code, not from a template.
The essentials, in three sentences. Feel currently contains no trackers and no ads — nothing measures what you do. Your data is hosted in France. It is not sold, rented, or passed on to advertisers, and that won't change.
Who is responsible
The data controller is the publisher of Feel, who can be reached at contact@getfeel.app. Any request about your data goes through this address.
What Feel collects
When you sign up
| Data | Why | Required |
|---|---|---|
| Email address | To identify your account and allow password resets | Yes |
| Password | To protect access. It is encrypted and never readable, not even by us | Yes |
| First name | To be shown to your partner | Yes |
| Gender | Nothing more than letting you describe yourself | No |
| Pronouns | To write about you correctly (“she's motivated,” “he's motivated,” “they're motivated”) | No |
| Date of birth | To wish you a happy birthday and remind your partner of it, who receives only the day and month. The year stays private: it only appears on your Account page. No automated checks, no statistics | No |
| Country | To show it on your Account page. Nothing else | No |
If you use “Sign in with Apple,” Feel only asks for your first name — and receives no email address, not even a relay address. Your account then exists without an address: Apple identifies you each time you sign in, and password resets don't apply.
When you use the app
- The moods you share: the emotion family, the shade you chose, the date, and the short note saying why, if you write one. A feeling of your own (three taps on the sphere) carries your own words, the color you give it, and whether it leans positive or negative.
- The messages you exchange: texts, reactions, GIFs, photos, voice messages, and the written record of your moods, with “delivered” and “read” timestamps.
- Photos, stored in a private space that only the two members of your couple can access. A photo sent as view once is erased from this space as soon as it's opened.
- Voice messages you record, two minutes at most: stored, like photos, in your couple's private space, and heard by the two of you only. The microphone is only used while you're recording. A voice message deleted “for both of you” leaves the server and both phones.
- Your profile photo, if you add one. It is stored in a private space and applies to both apps, since it's the same account: your partner sees it in Feel, and so do the friends you've accepted in FeelFriends. No one else — not someone who has your code, nor someone whose request is still pending. It disappears if you remove it, and with your account if you delete it.
- The nickname set within your couple, visible to your partner — either of you can set or change it. It only exists in Feel: FeelFriends has no nicknames.
- A device identifier, only if you allow notifications: provided by Apple on iPhone, and by Google on Android (the Firebase installation ID). It can't be used to identify you anywhere else.
- The photo of you two and your memories (a day, a few words, a photo): in the couple's private space, visible only to the two of you. Only the author of a memory can edit or delete it. A date you add with its year in “Special dates” also becomes a memory. They disappear on both sides when the bond ends, or when an account is deleted.
- Your account settings: what the app alerts you about, notification previews, your quiet hours, your time zone, and the app's language, so that the server writes to you at the right time and in your language.
- Gentle nudges: a notification when one of your partner's emotions has been waiting an hour for a reply, or when you haven't shared anything in thirty-six hours. At most one every six hours, between 9 a.m. and 10 p.m., never during your quiet hours or during a pause. The server only notes that it sent one, with no content, and forgets it after thirty days. You can turn them off in “Alerts” → “Gentle nudges”.
- Your bond as a couple and the invite code that created it. While a code is pending, anyone who has it can see your first name and your current mood before joining — that's how they can check they're joining the right person. A code expires after seven days.
If you part ways
The conversation, your memories, and the photo of you two disappear on both sides; each of you keeps your own moods. The app offers you, with no obligation, the chance to write a sentence about what happened. It reaches us without your name and with no link to your account: we know what was written, never by whom.
One identity for two apps
Feel and FeelFriends (feeling with your friends rather than as a pair) share the same account and the same server. Your first name, your profile photo, and your account settings are shared between them; your moods, your messages, and your conversation photos stay separate — what you share in one is never visible in the other.
Deleting your account from one also deletes the other. There is only one account: erasing it from FeelFriends also erases everything Feel contained, and vice versa. The app says so before asking for confirmation.
What FeelFriends also collects
- Your friend code, which you give to whoever you like. Unlike Feel's invite code, it is permanent and doesn't get used up. Someone who has it can see your first name and your current mood before sending you a friend request — that's how they can check they're adding the right person.
- The friend requests you receive and send, and accepted connections. A code alone doesn't get you into someone's life: the request has to be accepted.
- The circles you create, and who is in them. A circle belongs only to its creator and is visible only to them: the people in it don't know they're in it, or who else is.
- Your moods and the audience each one was meant for — all your friends, a circle, or just you. A mood kept to yourself is sent to no one. A note of up to fifty characters can go with it; it follows exactly the same audience.
- Conversations, one thread per friend: texts, reactions, GIFs, and photos, with “delivered” and “read” timestamps. The photos live in a private space specific to that connection; when the connection ends, the conversation disappears on both sides.
- The people you've blocked. This list is visible only to you, and the blocked person is never told: they see what they would see if you had simply removed them. Nor will we tell you who has blocked you — that's not information anyone is entitled to.
When you report someone
Reporting someone sends us three things: the reason you chose, what you add if you write something, and the last hundred messages of that conversation.
This copy of the conversation needs explaining. Reporting also blocks the person, and blocking erases your conversation on both sides — which is what you want. But without a copy taken first, the report would arrive empty: in the same stroke, we would erase the messages that show what you're reporting. The copy exists for that reason only.
It can be read only by us — never by the reported person or by anyone else — and it is used solely to review the report. The reported person is not told — not about the report, not its reason, and not what you wrote.
What never leaves your phone
- The photos you choose to keep, stored in the app itself.
- Settings specific to this phone: sounds, vibrations, animations, the colors of your emotions, and the dates you add yourself (those with a year also join your memories, for the two of you).
- Your session tokens, kept in the secure iOS Keychain, or encrypted by the Android Keystore.
- The counters that limit sign-in attempts. They are stored under a hash of your email address, never under the address itself.
If you connect Feel to the Health app (iPhone)
On iPhone, Feel can log the moods you share in Apple's Health app, each one as a “State of Mind”: a value between unpleasant and pleasant, Apple's matching label when there is one (“Happy”, “Worried”…) and, if there are two of you, the “Partner” association. A feeling of your own (the one you write in your own words) is never logged. It is off by default: nothing is logged until you turn it on in the app (menu → “Your moods” → “Health app”) and accept Apple's permission sheet.
- Feel writes, and reads nothing. The app asks for access to none of your health data: nothing stored in Health reaches Feel, our servers or your partner.
- What is logged stays in Health, on your iPhone (and in iCloud if you sync Health there), under your control. This data is never used for advertising and is shared with no one.
- Words of love (“I miss you”, a pulse) are never logged: they are not states but words meant for someone. The demo never writes to Health: its moods are examples.
- You can turn it off at any time in Feel, revoke access in the Health app (Profile → Apps → Feel) and delete what was logged there. Deleting your Feel account does not delete what is already in Health: that is done in the Health app.
What Feel doesn't do
As of the date of this document, the app contains:
- no analytics tools, no advertising trackers, no built-in social network;
- that said, like any online service, our hosting providers keep technical logs (IP address, date, device type) long enough to detect outages and abuse. They serve no other purpose and are never cross-referenced with what you feel;
- no reading of your messages or photos for any purpose other than delivering them to you.
And two commitments that don't depend on any business model and won't change: your data will not be sold or rented, and it won't be used to profile you for commercial purposes.
How Feel is funded
Better to say it plainly than have you discover it one day in an update: Feel is free today. If a paid option ever comes along, this policy will be updated before it exists. An app costs money to host and keep alive.
The model isn't settled. What is settled:
- your data will never be part of what's sold;
- if advertising were ever to appear, it would not be personalized based on what you entrust to the app — not your moods, not your messages, not your photos;
- any change of this kind will be announced in the app before it takes effect, not just written here.
What others see
Your first name, your photo if you've added one, the moods you share with them, and what you send them. In Feel, your partner also sees the photo of you two, your shared memories, and, if you've provided it, the day and month of your birthday. Nothing else. The gender you state, your year of birth, your country, and your email address are never shared — only your pronouns travel, so that the app writes about you correctly.
In FeelFriends, a friend only sees the moods whose audience they were part of. A mood shared with a circle stays invisible to those outside it, and the server itself refuses to serve it to them: it isn't the app hiding it on screen.
Where your data is hosted
On Supabase servers located in France (Paris region). Your data doesn't leave the European Union, except in these few cases, all limited to what is strictly necessary:
- Apple delivers notifications on iPhone, and Google (Firebase Cloud Messaging) on Android. What is transmitted is limited to the sender's first name (or the nickname you gave them) and the message preview; on iPhone, the emotion and its shade are added, so that the preview can be written in your phone's language. A gentle nudge carries your partner's first name. On Android, nothing else from Google is built in: no analytics, no advertising.
- Resend (a US company, with servers in Ireland) sends Feel's emails — the password recovery code. It sees your address and that code, nothing else.
- Cloudflare hosts this website and routes the emails sent to contact@getfeel.app. A request sent to that address passes through its servers.
- KLIPY provides the GIFs you search for in the conversation. Your search reaches it through our server: KLIPY sees the words you searched for, never your name, your email address, or your IP address, and a pseudonym that changes every day keeps it from linking your searches together. We don't keep them. The GIFs are then displayed from its servers, which, as with any image online, see the IP address of the device displaying them.
How long
Your data is kept as long as your account exists. View-once photos are erased when they're opened, and at the latest twenty-four hours after sending if they never were — a server task sees to it every hour. The gentle nudges log is erased after thirty days. When the account is deleted, everything is erased: profile, settings, moods, messages, voice messages, photos, memories, and the photo of you two, with no copy kept.
Your rights
The European regulation (GDPR) gives you the right to access your data, correct it, erase it, get a copy of it, and object to its processing.
- View and correct: the app's Account page shows everything you've provided and lets you change or delete it.
- Delete your account: in the app, main menu → “Your account” → “Delete my account”. Deletion is immediate and permanent — profile, moods, messages, photos, the couple's memories (your partner's too: they belong to the bond), and your login account. You can also write to contact@getfeel.app.
- Get a copy of your data: the same address, and you'll receive a readable file.
If you're not satisfied with a response, you can lodge a complaint with the CNIL, the French data protection authority.
Minimum age
Feel is for people aged sixteen and over: that's the age from which you can consent to the processing of your data on your own anywhere in the European Union. No account is knowingly created below that age; if it happens, write to us and it will be deleted.
Changes
This document may change along with the app. The date at the top of the page shows the latest version. Any significant change will be pointed out to you in the app.
