Privacy policy
hint helps you privately remember useful gift details about the people you care about.
Last updated November 5, 2026
Information you provide
When you create an account, hint stores your email address and authentication information. When you use the app, you may add names, relationships, phone numbers, birthdates, sizes, interests, notes, gift ideas, product links, and photos for people in your list.
You choose what to enter. Please only save information you have permission to keep, especially when it concerns another person.
How we use information
We use this information only to provide hint’s features: signing you in, syncing your private list, showing reminders and updates, creating gift profiles, importing product details, and responding to support requests.
Sharing
Your list is private by default. If you create a sharing link for a person, anyone with that link may view the recipient-facing information you selected. Private reference photos and your account details are not included. You can replace or revoke an active link from the app.
Service providers
hint uses Supabase for authentication, database storage, file storage, and server functions. Public support and profile-request pages are hosted by Vercel. Apple may process information when you install the app, use TestFlight, or make use of Apple platform services. These providers process information under their own terms and privacy policies.
Product links
When you ask hint to import a product link, the URL is sent to hint’s server function so it can request publicly available product details. Retailer availability, images, and pricing may change.
Notifications
If you allow notifications, hint stores an Apple Push Notification service device token linked to your account so it can notify you when someone returns requested information. The token is used only to deliver hint notifications and is removed when it is no longer valid. You can turn notifications off at any time in iOS Settings.
Retention and deletion
Your information remains in your account until you remove it or delete your account. You can delete individual people and items in the app. You can permanently delete your account and associated hint data from Settings → Account & privacy → Delete account.
Security
We use reasonable safeguards designed to protect your information, including authenticated access and database access controls. No online service can guarantee absolute security.
Children
hint is not directed to children under 13, and children under 13 should not create an account.
Your choices
You can edit or delete saved information, revoke sharing links, turn off notifications in iOS Settings, log out, or delete your account from within hint. For privacy questions or requests, email nick-jarvis@hotmail.com.
Policy changes
If this policy changes materially, the updated version and effective date will be posted on this page.
