Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 12, 2026 · Effective: April 12, 2026

Short version: Your confessions stay on your device. We don't sell your data. We don't show ads. The only thing that leaves your phone is the text you type, which goes to Anthropic's API to generate your response.

1. Who we are

badcall is an iOS journaling application. References to "badcall," "we," "us," or "our" refer to the badcall app and its developer. Contact us at hello@badcall.app.

2. What data we collect

We do not collect your name, email, location, device identifiers, usage analytics, or any other personal information.

3. How we use your data

Your confession text is sent to the Anthropic API solely to generate your response. Everything else lives entirely on your device. We cannot access it.

4. Third-party services

badcall uses Anthropic's API to process confessions. Anthropic has its own privacy policy at anthropic.com/privacy.

We use no other third-party services. No analytics. No advertising networks.

5. Data storage and security

All data is stored locally on your device using iOS standard storage. It is not synced to iCloud, our servers, or anywhere else. Data sent to Anthropic's API is transmitted over HTTPS.

6. Data deletion

To delete all your data, delete the badcall app from your iPhone. All stored data is permanently removed. We have no mechanism to delete your data on your behalf because we do not have access to it.

7. Children's privacy

badcall is rated 17+ on the App Store. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 17.

8. Changes to this policy

If we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of badcall constitutes acceptance.
