privacy policy
vlogify is made by Matthew Park and published on the App Store by HMU, Inc. It has a simple deal: your clips are seen by the people in your room and nobody else, and they live on your phone. This page says exactly what we hold, why, for how long, and how to make it go away.
what we collect
- Account identifier. Created when you sign in with Apple. We store a one-way hash of the identifier Apple gives us, never your Apple ID or email address.
- Display name. The name you type at setup, shown on your clips to your rooms. Sign in with Apple’s name is only used to prefill it.
- Your mark. The small drawing you make at setup. It is shown to your rooms as your avatar and on your clips.
- Clips. The two-second videos you post, with the room, day and hour they belong to.
- Reports and blocks. If you report a clip or block someone, we keep that so it sticks and so a person can review the report.
- Support messages. If you use the support form, the email address and message you send us.
We do not collect your location, contacts, camera roll, or analytics. There is no advertising and no tracking, and the app’s privacy manifest says the same.
your clips live on your phone
Every clip is saved on your phone first. Our server is a relay: it holds a copy of a clip only so the people in your room can receive it, and deletes that copy automatically after seven days. Your friends’ phones keep the clips they received. The finished vlog is made on your phone and is saved only if you save it.
data that never leaves your phone
Notes. Anything you type on the day page or a room page stays on your phone. It is never uploaded, never shown to your friends, and never seen by us.
Preferences. The time font, orientation and language are phone-only settings.
who can see what
Clips are visible only to members of the room they were posted in. Room owners can remove members; anyone can leave. Blocking someone hides their clips and profile from you, and yours from them.
where it lives
Account and room data are stored with Cloudflare (Workers, D1 and R2) and transferred over HTTPS. Cloudflare processes it only on our behalf, under data processing terms that require the same protection this policy promises. We do not sell or share your data with anyone else, except as required by law.
how long we keep it
- Clips: our copy is deleted automatically after seven days. The record that a clip existed (room, day, hour) stays until you delete the clip or your account.
- Account, name and mark: until you delete your account.
- Reports: up to one year after they are resolved, so moderation decisions can be reviewed. A report is not deleted when the reported account is.
- Support messages: up to one year after we answer.
- Sign in with Apple: if Apple gives us a token that lets us revoke your sign-in when you delete your account, it is stored encrypted and deleted with your account.
deleting your data
Profile → delete account removes your account, every clip you posted, and the rooms you own, straight away. It cannot be undone. If you cannot open the app, send a request through the support form and we will delete it within 30 days.
children
vlogify is rated 13+ and is not directed at children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has an account, tell us through the support form and we will remove it.
changes
If this policy changes in a way that matters, the app will tell you before it applies.
Questions: the support form.
