Privacy Policy
Last updated August 1, 2026
Suds is a mobile app for logging real outings and seeing what your friends are up to. This policy explains what we collect, why, and the choices you have. The short version: we collect what the product visibly needs, we don't sell your data, and there are no third-party ads.
What we collect
- Account info: your phone number (used to sign in and to let contacts who already know your number find you), name, username, and optional profile photo.
- Content you post: photos you capture, activity titles and notes, your rating, tagged friends, and the location of the activity.
- Location: one GPS reading taken when you log an activity, stored with that post and shown to your followers as a map pin. Your current location is also used transiently to center the map and power nearby suggestions; those readings are not stored. Suds never accesses location in the background.
- Contacts (optional): if you allow contact access, phone numbers from your address book are matched against existing Suds accounts to help you find friends. Numbers that don't match are not stored.
How we use it
- To run the product: your posts appear to people who follow you; your map is built from your and your friends' logs.
- To sign you in via one-time SMS codes (see the SMS Program).
- To power the Move concierge, which suggests places using your circle's logs. Conversations with Move are processed by an AI service provider to generate replies.
What we don't do
- We don't sell your personal information.
- We don't show third-party ads.
- We don't track your location outside of the moments described above.
Who sees your content
Your posts, including their location pins, are visible to people who follow you on Suds. Be mindful that a log carries the precise location where it was captured.
Service providers
We use cloud infrastructure (Amazon Web Services) to run Suds and store content, and an AI provider (Anthropic) to generate Move concierge replies. These providers process data on our behalf and are not permitted to use it for their own purposes.
Data retention and deletion
Your content stays until you delete it or your account. To delete your account and its data, email rayyanrsarkhot@gmail.com from the address or phone associated with your account.
Children
Suds is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data.
Changes
If this policy changes, we'll update this page and the date above. Questions: rayyanrsarkhot@gmail.com.
