Privacy

hasfriends is a page for your business and a list of people you refer. It's run by Simple City Software, LLC (“we”). This page explains what we collect, why, how long we keep it, and how to control or remove it — whether you have a page, were listed by someone else, or just sent a message.

What we collect, and why

What we collect depends on how you use hasfriends.

If you have a page

• Your sign-in email. We email you a one-time code to sign in; there's no password to store.
• Your business name, your name, phone, email, city, photos, and anything else you put on your page. It's public, because that's the point of a page. You can hide your phone or email from Contact & data.
• Your friends list — the businesses you've added, their categories, and any public “why” lines you write. Private notes you write about someone on your list are only ever shown to you.
• A daily count of views on your page. We don't track who viewed it.
• If you turn on push notifications in the app, a device token identifying your phone, so we can send you a notification. It's tied to your account, not used for anything else, and removed when you sign out or delete your account.
• If you subscribe to Pro on the web, Stripe handles your card. We see the card brand and the last four digits, never the full card number.
• If you subscribe to Pro in the iOS app, Apple handles the purchase. We see Apple's transaction and subscription identifiers so we can keep your Pro status in sync — never your card details, which stay with Apple.

If someone added you without asking

• A referrer can type in your business name and a phone or email so they can recommend you. That makes an unclaimed page with a note that nobody from the business has confirmed it.
• Unclaimed pages don't take messages and aren't shown to search engines.
• You can claim the page, or take it down with the “Not my business” link, at any time.

If you send a message or ask for an introduction

• We collect the name, contact details (phone or email), and message you type in, and send them to the one business you chose — nobody else. You confirm you're agreeing to that each time, before we send anything.
• We keep a copy of that message for 90 days so either of you can ask us to delete it, and it's deleted automatically after that.
• To stop spam, we keep a scrambled device identifier for a day. We don't store your IP address.

What we never do

• We don't sell or rent anyone's personal information.
• We don't let anyone bulk-download other people's details from hasfriends.
• No advertising trackers, and no third-party analytics SDKs, on our pages or in our apps.

How long we keep it

• Messages and introductions: 90 days from when they're sent, then deleted automatically.
• Your name.hasfriends.app address: released 30 days after you delete your account.
• Anti-spam device identifiers on a storefront message: 1 day.
• An email address that bounces or is marked as spam goes on our suppression list, so we stop emailing it, until we have a reason to believe it's good again.
• A data export file: available to download for 24 hours after we generate it, then the link stops working; the underlying file is deleted from storage within 2 days either way.
• Your page, list, and account: kept for as long as your account is open, and removed when you delete your account (see below).

Your choices: export and delete

• Download everything we have about you from Contact & data (web) or Account > Contact & data (app). We email you a link to a single file with your account, page, photos, friends list and private notes, where you're listed, your messages and introductions, and your receipts. The link works for 24 hours and only once you're signed in. You can ask for a new export up to 3 times a day.
• Delete your account from the same place. This cancels any active subscription, deletes your photos, your page, your friends list, and your account itself, and signs you out everywhere. Messages and introductions you sent or received stay for their normal 90-day period so the other party can still ask us to delete their copy; your address is held for 30 days before it can be reused.
• Hide yourself from any list that lists your business, at any time, from How you're listed — without telling the person who listed you.
• For anything else, email hello@hasfriends.app. We aim to respond within a few business days.

Who processes data for us

We use a small number of services to run hasfriends, and only give each of them what it needs to do its job:

• Amazon Web Services (AWS) — hosting, our database, file storage, and sending email. Everything is stored in the United States.
• Stripe — payment processing for web Pro subscriptions. Stripe handles your card directly; we never see or store the full number.
• Apple — payment processing for Pro subscriptions purchased in the iOS app, and delivering push notifications to iPhones.
• Google (Firebase Cloud Messaging) — delivering push notifications to Android phones, if you use the Android app and turn notifications on.

Cookies and local storage

• A single session cookie keeps you signed in. It's required for the dashboard to work and isn't used to track you across other sites.
• If you send a message or ask for an introduction from a storefront, we remember the name and contact details you typed — on your own device only, using your browser's local storage — so the next form on that page is quicker to fill in. It never leaves your device unless you submit a form again.
• No advertising or tracking cookies.

Email preferences

Emails about listings, introductions, and the monthly activity summary carry a one-click unsubscribe link, and can also be turned off from Notification settings. Sign-in codes and payment-failure notices aren't optional — your account depends on being able to receive them — but every other email respects your preferences. If your address bounces or is marked as spam, we automatically stop emailing it (see “How long we keep it” above).

Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information, and to opt out of the sale or sharing of it. We don't sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, so there's nothing to opt out of on that front. You can exercise these rights using the in-product controls described above, or by emailing hello@hasfriends.app — we'll verify it's really you and respond within the time your state's law requires (typically 45 days). We won't discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights.

Children

hasfriends is for business owners and their clients and isn't directed at, or intended for, anyone under 18. Please don't use hasfriends if you're under 18.

Security

We use industry-standard measures — encryption in transit, access controls, and least-privilege permissions between our own systems — to protect your information. No system is completely secure, though, and we can't guarantee perfect security. If a breach affecting your personal information happens, we'll notify affected users and any authorities the law requires us to, without unreasonable delay.

Changes to this policy

If we materially change what we collect or how we use it, we'll post a notice on this page and update the date at the top; for a significant change, we'll also try to email account holders.
