Privacy

Usland · updated 1 November 2026

Usland is a private space for two people. Everything is private by default, nothing is sold, and there are no ads or tracking.

What we keep

• Your account: your name and the email from Sign in with Google or Apple, and an internal ID.
• Your island: your relationship stage, the month you got together if you gave it, your timezone and language.
• What you share with your partner: answers to questions (picks, words or voice recordings), moments (words, photos, voice notes), good news, admire notes, promises, letters, decisions, rules, rituals, reactions, "thinking of you" taps, quiet missions, bite answers, walk distances you enter, and activities you mark done. Also: game and lesson answers, wishes and their check-ins, slips you own and their consequences, statements you choose to share with Mizan and its summary, and ideas you pick for today or tomorrow.
• How your island looks: each pillar's look is worked out from the activity above. It is shown to the two of you only, never as a score.
• Dates and private notes: dates you save (anniversaries, birthdays, trips), gift ideas only you can read, and the mood you tap each day. Your partner sees only a soft hint of your mood, and moods are deleted after 30 days.
• When you last opened the app, to show "both home tonight". This is a time, never a place.
• Notification settings and a push token so your phone can receive whispers.

What we never collect

• Location. Photos are resized on your phone and all their metadata, including GPS, is removed before upload.
• Contacts, your photo library (you pick single photos through the system picker), or anything from other apps.
• Advertising IDs. We run no ads and use no third-party tracking or analytics SDKs.

Mizan, the helper (AI)

Mizan only works when you ask it. When you do, the words you wrote for that request go from our server to Google's Gemini API, which writes a gentler version or a summary. We do not store your private draft; only the statement you choose to share is kept. While Usland is in testing it uses Gemini's free tier, where Google may use these requests to improve its products. Before Usland opens to everyone, it will move to a paid tier where Google does not. Mizan is not a therapist. If what you write suggests danger, it stops and shows you where to find help, and nothing is shared with your partner.

Who sees what

Only you and your partner. Your answer to a question stays sealed on our server until you have both answered. Letters stay sealed until their date. Notifications never contain what either of you wrote.

Where it lives

Data is stored with Convex (our database and file host) and encrypted in transit and at rest. Notifications go through Expo's push service and Google Firebase Cloud Messaging (or Apple Push Notification service). Sign-in uses Google or Apple. Mizan's requests go to the Google Gemini API. These providers process data only to run the service.

How long we keep it

Until you delete your account. You can delete it at any time inside the app (Settings → Account → Delete my account). That removes everything you wrote and your sign-in right away. If your partner stays, they keep the island without your content. If you can't use the app, request deletion here and we complete it within 30 days.

Your rights

You can see your content in the app, delete it, or ask us for a copy or a correction at privacy@usland.app.

Children

Usland is for adults in a relationship and is not directed at anyone under 18.

Changes

If this policy changes in a way that matters, we will tell you in the app before it takes effect.
