Áncora

Privacy Policy

How Áncora handles your information. Plain language, no surprises.

Our promises

Before the legal detail, here is what we will and will not do:

1. Who we are

Áncora is operated by MEAS Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. We are the data controller for the information described here. Contact us at hello@ancoraapp.org.

2. What we collect

We group the information we collect into five categories:

3. Why we collect it

We use each category of information only for specific purposes:

We do not use your information for advertising, profiling that produces legal effects, or AI training.

4. Who we share it with

We share information only with processors that help us run the service. They act on our instructions and cannot use your data for their own purposes.

We may also share information when required by valid legal process, to enforce our Terms, to protect the safety of users or the public, or in connection with a corporate transaction (merger, acquisition, or sale of assets), in which case we will notify you and any successor will be bound by this policy.

5. Data retention

We keep information only as long as we need it:

6. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you have rights over your personal information. These include, in most jurisdictions:

If you are in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or Switzerland, these are your rights under the GDPR (and UK GDPR / FADP). If you are a California resident, these are your rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including the right to know, delete, correct, and opt out of "sale" or "sharing" (we do neither).

To exercise any of these rights, delete your account from Settings → Delete Account inside the app, or email us at hello@ancoraapp.org. We will respond within the time required by applicable law (generally 30 days). You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority.

7. Children's privacy

Áncora is not directed at children under 13. The app is rated 4+ in the App Store because the content is suitable for all ages, but the service itself is intended for adults (and minors with parental supervision in the household).

We do not knowingly collect personal information from a child under 13. If we learn that we have collected information from a child under 13 without verified parental consent, we will delete that account promptly. If you believe a child has created an account, please email hello@ancoraapp.org and we will investigate.

8. International transfers

Áncora is built by a U.S. company and uses processors located in multiple regions. Depending on the feature, your data may be stored or processed in:

Where data is transferred out of the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses and, where applicable, the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, so your rights continue to travel with your data.

9. Security

We protect your information with standard industry controls: TLS in transit, encryption at rest in our database, Supabase row-level security policies so one account cannot read another account's data, and least-privilege access for our team. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to reduce risk and we will notify affected users in the event of a qualifying data breach, as required by law.

10. Cookies and tracking

The iOS app does not use cookies and does not integrate any advertising or cross-app tracking SDKs. We do not use Apple's IDFA and we do not present an App Tracking Transparency prompt, because we do not track you across other companies' apps or websites.

Our marketing website at ancoraapp.org uses only the operational cookies required by our hosting provider (Vercel) to deliver the site securely. It does not use third-party advertising or analytics cookies.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the effective date below and, for material changes, notify you in the app or by email. Continued use of the service after the effective date means you accept the updated policy.

12. Contact us

Privacy questions, requests, or complaints: hello@ancoraapp.org.

Postal notices may be sent to: MEAS Partners, LLC — contact hello@ancoraapp.org for the current mailing address.
