Privacy & Terms

Your message

Your cards are encrypted on your phone before they're saved. The key is the part of the link after the #, which never reaches us, so we can't read them. We store the encrypted message, its occasion (for the chat preview) and when it was made and sent. Your draft is saved the same way while you write.

Anyone with the link can open the message, so send it only to the person it's for.

"Tell me when it's opened" 👀

Off unless you tick it, and the person you send it to is told before they open the door. We then save two times: when the door was first opened and when the message was watched to the end. Nothing about them: no device, location or IP address.

On your phone

Your links, the list of links you've sent, stays on your phone, and we never receive it. Deleting the app or the website's data removes it.

The example (website only)

The example that "Watch an example" plays counts how long each card is looked at, so we can improve it. We save a random visit id, the card and the time, the screen size, a rough device type (like "iPhone") and the country. Never your messages, city or IP address.

Who helps us

Vercel hosts the website and our small server. Like every host, it sees your IP address to deliver the page and may keep it briefly in its logs. Supabase is our database. Both work for us under data processing agreements. Some of their servers may be in the United States, covered by the EU's Standard Contractual Clauses or the EU–US Data Privacy Framework.

How long we keep it

Drafts that were never sent or copied are deleted after a day. Sent links and their receipts are kept so the link keeps working. Send us a link and we'll delete it.

Your rights

We use this data to deliver your message, to tell you it was opened when you asked for that, and to improve the example (our legitimate interest). Under the GDPR you can ask to see, correct or delete it, or object to how we use it. There are no accounts, so send us the link. You can also complain to the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (IMY).

The rules

By using Someone's at the door you agree to these:

• Be kind. Don't use it to harass, threaten, trick or spam anyone, or to share anything illegal. We may delete links that do.
• Your words are yours, and you're responsible for what you send. You let us store and deliver them so the link works.
• The drawings, scenes, code and name are ours. The music is public domain.
• It's provided as is: we can't promise it always works, and we may change features. Your rights as a consumer still apply.
• In the iPhone app, Apple's standard licence applies too.
• Swedish law applies, without taking away the protection of the law where you live.

Who we are

Someone's at the door is made by [publisher name] in Sweden, who is responsible for the data above. Questions or requests: hello@someonesatthedoor.com.
