Rommie is a chat app for adults (18+). This policy explains what we collect, why, and the choices you have. Contact: goodcupcakes344@gmail.com.
Account and profile: your email and password (handled by our sign-in provider), and the username, display name, photo, languages, and interests you choose. Your username, display name, and photo can be seen by people you chat with and people who find you.
Year of birth: we ask for it at sign-up and use it only to make sure every user is 18 or older. Once confirmed it cannot be changed in the app. If an account belongs to someone under 18, we schedule it to close: for 7 days it can still chat with existing friends, download its data, or be deleted; after that it can no longer send messages. We don't delete it automatically.
Meet and matching: to match you for random one-to-one chats we use your language, interests, and recent activity. We record who you were matched with, when, swipes (skips), and Keep choices, so we don't match you with the same person again too soon and so Keep works. Meet chats nobody kept are hidden from your Recent list after 24 hours; their messages remain stored on our servers.
Friends and Discover: friend requests, friendships, groups, stories (visible to your friends for 24 hours), blocks, and reports. You appear in Discover only if the "List me in Discover" setting is on.
Messages: message content, photos you send, and chat membership are stored on our servers so they can be delivered and synced across your devices.
Reports and safety: when you report someone we store the report and the related messages so we can review it.
App analytics: we record app events (for example "app opened", "match started", "message sent") with a random device ID, your account ID when signed in, app version, and platform, in our own database, and on Android also in Google Analytics for Firebase. We use them to understand where the app works and where it doesn't. We do not put your message text in analytics.
Ads: the free version shows ads from Google AdMob. AdMob may use your device's advertising ID, IP address, and similar data to show and measure ads, and to personalize them where allowed. In the EEA, the UK, and Switzerland we ask for your consent first through Google's consent form, and you can change your choice. You can also reset or delete your advertising ID in your Android settings. Pro has no ads.
Purchases: payments go through Google Play (Android) or Stripe (web). We receive your subscription status, not your card details.
Notifications: if you allow them, we store a push token for your device so we can tell you about new messages, matches, and friend requests.
Technical data: our hosting provider (Supabase) logs IP addresses and request details for security and operations.
On-device features: message translation on Android runs on your device. The optional AI coach sends your questions and summary statistics about your chats (not the messages themselves) to our AI provider to answer you.
To run the Service (sign-in, matching, chats, friends, sync, notifications), to keep it safe (age checks, reports, blocking, preventing spam and abuse), to show ads in the free version, to process subscriptions, to improve the app, and to meet legal duties. We do not sell your personal data.
Only service providers that help us run Rommie (Supabase for hosting and sign-in, Google for ads, analytics, and Play billing, Stripe for web payments, our AI provider for the coach), and authorities when the law requires it or to protect someone's safety.
Download your data: Profile → Backup all data saves your chats and profile as a file.
Delete your account: Profile → Delete account deletes your account and profile. Messages you sent in chats with other people stay in those chats, so the other people keep their history: they are no longer linked to your account, the name on them is replaced with "Deleted user", and photos you sent are removed. Some backups and logs can take up to 90 days to clear.
Privacy settings: control who can find you by username, who can send you friend requests, and whether you appear in Discover. Block or report anyone from a chat.
If you can't use the app, email us and we will help with a data copy or deletion.
You can request deletion of your Rommie account and associated data as follows:
Steps to request deletion:
What we delete: Your account (email, profile, password), your friendships and requests, and your subscription linkage. Local data on your device may remain until you clear app data or uninstall.
What we keep: Messages you sent in chats with other people stay in those chats so their history isn't broken. They are no longer linked to your account, the name on them is replaced with "Deleted user", and photos you sent are removed. We may also keep certain data where the law requires it (e.g. tax, fraud prevention) for a limited period.
Additional retention: After you request deletion, we process it within a reasonable time (typically within 30 days). Some backup or log data may be retained for up to 90 days before permanent deletion.
If you cannot access the app or need help, email goodcupcakes344@gmail.com and ask for account and data deletion; we will process your request in line with this policy.
While your account exists, and after that only as long as the law requires. Analytics events are kept for a limited time and then deleted.
We use encryption in transit (HTTPS), secure sign-in, and access controls. Keep your password and device secure.
Rommie is only for adults aged 18 and older. We do not knowingly allow anyone under 18 to use it. If you believe someone under 18 is using Rommie, report them in the app or email us.
We may update this policy and will post the new version in the app and on this page.
