YourVoice Privacy Policy
Effective: July 5, 2026 · Last Updated: July 5, 2026
NiruLabs LLC (“we”, “our”, “us”) operates the YourVoice mobile application (the “App”). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
By downloading, installing, or using YourVoice, you agree to this Privacy Policy.
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Information You Provide
- Phone number — used one time to verify your identity via SMS. We store a one-way SHA-256 hash of your phone number so we can prevent duplicate accounts. We do not store your raw phone number after verification.
- Demographics — age range, gender (optional), country, region/state, and city. Used to personalize your poll feed and to segment aggregated results.
- Poll answers — your votes on polls, linked to your account.
- Polls you create — questions and answer options you submit.
- Payout details — if you request a cash reward, we store the PayPal email you provide, encrypted at rest.
1.2 Information Collected Automatically
- Approximate location (city-level) — captured from your device’s GPS on first use to (a) verify you are in a launched service area and (b) tag polls with a location. We do not store precise coordinates.
- Device information — model, OS version, app version, and a push notification token used to deliver notifications.
- Usage data — which polls you viewed, voted on, or skipped, along with anonymous session identifiers.
1.3 Information We Do NOT Collect
- Your raw phone number (only a hash)
- Your name
- Your email address (unless you provide one for PayPal payout)
- Your precise GPS coordinates
- Contacts, photos, camera, or microphone data
2. How We Use Your Information
- Deliver the service — authenticate your account, load your poll feed, record your votes.
- Personalize your feed — use your interests and demographics to rank polls relevant to you.
- Aggregate insights — show anonymized breakdowns of poll results by age, gender, city, and country. Individual user data is never shown; only aggregated group percentages.
- Reward payouts — track how many polls you have completed and process cash rewards via PayPal, subject to program terms shown in-app.
- Notifications — send push notifications about your rewards, new features, and when YourVoice launches in your city (only if you opt in).
- Fraud prevention and moderation — detect duplicate accounts, bot behavior, and inappropriate poll content using pattern detection and LLM-assisted screening.
3. How We Share Your Information
We do NOT sell your personal information.
We share limited data only in these cases:
- Service providers we rely on:
- Google Firebase (phone number verification and push notifications)
- PayPal (payment processing for cash rewards)
- Google Cloud (hosting)
- Anthropic (AI-assisted poll moderation, poll text only, no user identifiers)
- Legal compliance — if required by law, subpoena, or to prevent fraud or abuse.
- Aggregated, anonymized data — we may publish or share statistics that cannot be linked to any individual user (e.g., “62% of 18–24 year olds in New York support X”).
- Business transfers — in the event of a merger or acquisition, user data may transfer to the new entity under the same privacy protections.
4. Data Retention
- Account data — kept while your account is active. If you delete your account, we remove your data within 30 days.
- Poll votes — retained indefinitely in aggregated form for research and product improvement, but disassociated from your identity within 30 days of account deletion.
- Rewards data — retained for 7 years to comply with U.S. tax law.
- Phone hash — retained to prevent duplicate account creation, even after account deletion.
5. Your Choices and Rights
- Access and Deletion — email support@yourvoice.app to request your data or delete your account.
- Push notifications — disable in iOS Settings → YourVoice → Notifications.
- Location — disable in iOS Settings → YourVoice → Location. Note that this may limit which polls you see.
- California residents (CCPA) and EU/UK residents (GDPR) — you have rights to access, correct, delete, and port your data. Contact us at support@yourvoice.app.
6. Age Restrictions
YourVoice is available to users aged 13 and older. Users aged 13–17 are limited to age-appropriate content; adult content is filtered from their feed. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 13. If we learn a user is under 13, we delete their account.
7. Data Security
We use industry-standard security practices:
- Data encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+)
- Passwords and payout details encrypted at rest
- No plaintext phone numbers stored server-side
- Access to production systems limited to authorized personnel
No system is perfectly secure. If we learn of a data breach affecting you, we will notify you within 72 hours as required by applicable law.
8. International Users
YourVoice is operated in the United States. If you use YourVoice from outside the U.S., you consent to transferring your data to the U.S. for processing.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be announced in-app and via a push notification. The “Last Updated” date at the top of this policy reflects the most recent revision.
