Harbour ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices. By using the Harbour app, you agree to the practices described here.
During onboarding you provide:
This information is stored locally on your device only — it is never uploaded to our servers.
When you send a message, the text of that message (along with a short recent-history window and your companion's character profile) is sent to our chat backend via Supabase Edge Functions to generate a reply. We do not store your chat messages on our servers. All message history is stored in your app's private local storage. When you delete a conversation or uninstall the app, that data is gone.
When you purchase a subscription, Apple processes the transaction and provides us confirmation of the entitlement through StoreKit. We do not receive your payment card details.
Harbour uses the Meta (Facebook) SDK for ad measurement. If you grant tracking permission via Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) prompt, your device's advertising identifier (IDFA) may be shared with Meta to measure whether you downloaded the app after seeing a Harbour ad. This is used solely for ad attribution — it does not affect in-app content or companion behavior. You can withdraw consent at any time under Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking on your iPhone.
Our chat backend runs on Supabase (supabase.com) hosted in the United States. Chat messages pass through this service transiently to reach the AI provider. Supabase's privacy policy is at supabase.com/privacy.
Standard (non-Spicy) conversations are processed by DeepSeek's API. Messages are transmitted to DeepSeek's servers to generate replies. DeepSeek's privacy policy applies to this data transmission.
When Spicy Mode is enabled (Platinum members only), conversations are processed by xAI's Grok API. Messages are transmitted to xAI's servers to generate replies. xAI's privacy policy applies to this data transmission.
We include the Meta iOS SDK for advertising attribution. If you opt in to tracking, the SDK may share your IDFA and app-event signals (e.g., app install) with Meta. You can opt out at any time via iOS Settings. Meta's Data Policy is at facebook.com/privacy/policy.
In-app purchases and subscription management are handled by Apple. Apple's privacy policy is at apple.com/legal/privacy.
Your profile, companion matches, and chat history are stored in your app's private local storage on your device. This data is protected by iOS's standard data protection (encrypted at rest when your device is locked). We do not have access to this data and cannot retrieve it if you lose your device or uninstall the app.
Harbour is intended for users aged 17 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has used the app, please contact us and we will take steps to address it. The Spicy Mode feature requires users to be 18+ and is gated by an explicit opt-in.
If you are a resident of the EU, UK, or California and have questions about your rights (access, deletion, portability), contact us at privacy@getharbour.app.
Harbour is operated from the United States. By using the app and allowing messages to reach our backend, you consent to your message data being processed in the United States and, for AI replies, in the countries where DeepSeek and xAI operate.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
