Privacy Policy

Last updated 12 November 2026

This policy explains what WriteQuote collects, why, who it is shared with, and the choices you have. By using WriteQuote you agree to it.

What we collect

• Account details: email address, password (stored only as a secure hash by our authentication provider), name and username. If you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email and Google account ID.
• Profile details you add: photo, cover photo, bio, location, website, profile theme and language preferences.
• Date of birth, if you add it. Only you can see it; we use it to confirm you are at least 13.
• Content you create: posts, quote images, photos, stories, comments, mentions, collab verses, and posts you add to your story.
• Messages: if you have Premium+, the private messages you send and receive, so they can be delivered and shown to you and the other person.
• Activity: likes, saves, reposts, follows, follow requests, blocks, reports, post views, profile visits and when you were last active.
• Device: a push notification token for your phone, if you allow notifications.
• Purchases: if you buy Premium, Google Play sends us a purchase token and the subscription status. We never see your card or payment details.
• Ads: if you are not on Premium+, Google AdMob shows ads in your feed. To do this Google collects your device’s advertising ID, IP address, device details and how you interact with the ads.

How we use it

• To run your account and show your profile and posts.
• To build your feeds, trending lists and search.
• To send notifications about likes, comments, follows, mentions, reposts, collabs, stories and messages (you can turn each of these off in Settings).
• To show you your own analytics and profile visitors (Premium).
• To keep WriteQuote safe: filtering banned words, automatically checking new content for sexual, hateful or harassing material and taking it down, limiting spam, and reviewing reports.
• To verify and manage Premium subscriptions.
• To show ads (fewer with Premium, none with Premium+).

We do not sell your personal data.

What other people can see

Your name, username, photo, cover, bio, location, website, follower counts, posts and stories are public unless your account is private. With a private account (Premium), only followers you approve see your posts, stories and follower lists; your name, photo and bio stay visible. Your likes, saved posts, email and date of birth are never shown to other users. Premium members can see who visited their profile.

Who we share it with

We use trusted providers to run WriteQuote, and they process data only on our behalf:

• Supabase: database, sign-in and file storage.
• Google: Google Sign-In, Firebase Cloud Messaging (push notifications) and Google Play Billing (Premium).
• OpenAI: an automatic safety check. The text of new or edited posts, comments, stories and profiles is sent to OpenAI’s moderation service to spot sexual, hateful or harassing content. It is used only for this check, not to train their models.
• Google AdMob: ads. Google may use your advertising ID to show ads that suit you and to measure them; see policies.google.com/technologies/ads. You can reset or delete your advertising ID in your phone’s Settings → Google → Ads.

We may also share information if the law requires it, or to protect the safety of our users.

How long we keep it

We keep your data while your account exists. Stories disappear after 24 hours. If you deactivate your account, it is hidden but kept so you can come back. If you delete your account, it is hidden at once and, 30 days later, your profile, posts, comments, stories, likes, follows, photos, messages and other data are deleted permanently (logging in again within the 30 days cancels the deletion). Backups held by our providers are cleared on their normal schedule.

Your choices and rights

• Edit your profile at any time in Edit Profile.
• Make your account private (Premium), control who can comment on or mention you, who can find you in search and who sees your activity status, and block people in Privacy Settings.
• Turn off Credit on a post so your name is not shown under it.
• Turn notifications on or off in Notification Settings.
• Deactivate your account, or delete it permanently, in Profile → Menu → Account Settings. See how to delete your account.
• Get Premium+ to remove ads, or delete your advertising ID in your phone’s Settings → Google → Ads.
• Ask us for a copy of your data, or for help deleting it, at writequote.in@gmail.com.

Children

WriteQuote is not for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data. If you believe a child under 13 has an account, contact us and we will delete it.

Security

Data is sent over encrypted connections, your sign-in session and app lock PIN are kept in secure storage on your device (the PIN never leaves your phone), and database rules make sure people can only read and change what they are allowed to. No system is perfectly secure, so please use a strong, unique password.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy we will update the date above, and tell you in the app if the change is significant.
