Priority Notify

What we keep, and why.

Priority Notify lets you send short alerts to people who have accepted you, at a level they chose. It is built to know as little about you as it can and still deliver an alert.

In short

No email, phone number, location, contacts or ads. We store your handle, the people you connect with and the messages between you (deleted after 30 days), plus what your phone needs to receive alerts, and crash and performance reports so we can fix bugs and slow screens. You can delete all of it from the app at any time.

Who we are

Priority Notify is made by Vikrant Negi, an individual developer ("we", "us"). Contact: vikrantnegi007@gmail.com.

What we store

Your account: the handle and display name you choose, and an account identifier created when you first open the app. We never ask for an email address or phone number.
Your connections: who you are connected to, in which direction, the loudest level each person allows, quiet hours, whether Urgent may ring on silent, and blocks. Invite codes you share, which expire after 7 days.
Messages: the text you send or receive, its level, and when it was sent, delivered, opened and acknowledged, plus a record of each delivery attempt. Messages are deleted automatically after 30 days.
Crash reports: when the app crashes or hits an error, a report with the error, the screens and actions just before it, and device details (phone model, Android version, app version). Reports don't include your messages, your IP address or your device name.
Performance measurements: how long the app takes to start and to open each screen, with the screen's name, the app version and update, device details (phone model, Android version) and a random identifier for this installation that resets if you reinstall. They don't include your messages, handle, the people you message or invite codes.
Your phone, for delivery: a push-notification token; the app version, Android version and manufacturer; your time zone (so quiet hours follow your local time); and whether notifications are allowed, battery restrictions are on and the ringer is silent. We use these to deliver alerts and to warn you when something on your phone will stop them.

What we don't do

No advertising, no selling or renting data, no tracking across other apps or websites.
No location, contacts, photos, files or microphone access.
The camera is used only to scan a friend's QR code. The image is read on your phone and never uploaded.
Messages are only visible to the sender and the recipient. There is no public profile or search; people reach you only through a code you shared and only after you accept them.

Why we use it

Only to run the app: to create your account, connect you with people you approve, deliver alerts at the level they allow, show you whether they arrived, and help you fix settings that would block alerts. Crash reports and performance measurements are used only to find and fix bugs and slow screens. We do not use your data for marketing or profiling.

Who processes it

Supabase hosts the database and runs our server functions.
Google Firebase Cloud Messaging carries the push message that wakes your phone. The message contains the sender's name, the text and the level.
Sentry (Functional Software, Inc.) receives crash reports.
Expo (650 Industries, Inc.) receives performance measurements (EAS Observe) and delivers app updates.

All act as service providers on our behalf. All data travels encrypted (HTTPS). Data may be processed in countries other than your own.

How long we keep it

Messages and their delivery records: 30 days, then deleted automatically.
Crash reports: up to 90 days, then deleted by Sentry.
Performance measurements: kept by Expo for its performance dashboard and deleted on Expo's schedule.
Your account, connections and phone details: until you delete your account. A phone's push token is also removed when Google reports it is no longer valid.
Our hosting provider's encrypted backups expire on their own schedule after deletion.

Deleting your data

In the app: Settings → Delete my account. This immediately deletes your handle, display name, connections (both directions), phone details, invite codes and every message you sent or received.

Without the app (for example after uninstalling it): email vikrantnegi007@gmail.com from any address with your @handle. We delete the account within 30 days and reply to confirm. See Delete your account.

Note: uninstalling the app does not delete your account, but without sign-in it can no longer be reached from a new install.

Your rights

You can ask us what we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, or object to how we use it, by emailing vikrantnegi007@gmail.com. Your display name can be changed any time in Settings; your handle is permanent by design.

Children

Priority Notify is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from them. If you believe a child under 13 has an account, email us and we will delete it.

Changes

If this policy changes, we update this page and the effective date above. Significant changes will also be noted in the app's release notes.
