Plain English Summary: We collect only what we need to run the app. We don't sell your data. Your struggles, community posts, and Code Red history are private. You can delete your account and all data at any time.
01

Information We Collect

Account Information

When you create an account we collect your name, email address, and password (stored encrypted). You may optionally provide a phone number for Code Red contacts to reach you.

Profile Information

You may choose to share information about your personal struggles (e.g. addiction recovery, divorce, weight loss journey). This information is voluntary and used only to personalize your experience and connect you with relevant communities.

Usage Data

We collect information about how you use the app — screens visited, features used, goals completed — to improve the product. This data is aggregated and not tied to personally identifiable information in our analytics.

Code Red Data

When you send a Code Red alert, we record the timestamp, which contacts were notified, and delivery status. We do not record your location.

Device Information

We collect basic device information (device type, OS version, app version) for technical support and crash reporting purposes.

02

How We Use Your Information

We do not use your information for advertising. We do not build advertising profiles. We do not sell your data to third parties.

03

Information Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share information only in these limited circumstances:

Service Providers

We use trusted third-party services to operate the app:

These providers are contractually bound to protect your data and may only use it to provide services to us.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or to protect the safety of our users or the public.

Community Posts

Content you post in public UberBad communities is visible to other members of those communities. Private groups are visible only to invited members.

04

Code Red & Emergency Alerts

Important: Code Red is not a substitute for emergency services. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 911.

When you activate Code Red, we send an SMS message to your designated contacts using Twilio. The message contains your name and a request for them to call you. We do not share your location.

Your Code Red contacts' phone numbers are stored securely and used only to deliver alerts you initiate. We do not contact your Code Red contacts for any other purpose.

Code Red history (dates, times, delivery status) is stored in your account and visible only to you.

05

Sensitive Information

UberBad is built for people dealing with addiction, divorce, obesity, mental health, and other sensitive personal struggles. We treat this information with the utmost care.

06

Data Retention

We retain your account information for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will delete your personal data within 30 days, except where we are required to retain it by law.

Anonymized, aggregated analytics data may be retained indefinitely as it cannot be used to identify you.

07

Your Rights

You have the right to:

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@uberbad.com or delete your account directly in the app under Settings → Account → Delete Account.

08

Security

We use industry-standard security measures including:

No system is 100% secure. If you believe your account has been compromised, contact us immediately at security@uberbad.com.

09

Children's Privacy

UberBad is not intended for users under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that a child under 18 has created an account, we will delete it promptly.
