We do not collect name or any identity related personal information. The only thing that could relate to your person is the email address. However, it is only used to contact our users as it is never used otherwise or shown to anyone inside or out of the platform.

The rest of the demographic data like age, location, preferences, etc are used for users to be able to conduct segmented audience queries.

Example: I want to ask a parenting question, to women between 30 to 45 years of age on Chicago area...

By the way, we do not intend to sell data or rely on ads business model and this is why we opted to incorporate a more transparent "paid" service. So, the user data is safe and not going to be exploited like on many other social media platforms.

Hope this helps understand the purpose of the type of data collected.

You absolutely do collect identifying personal information, which is why I gave up and deleted the app.

It’s not anonymous when you know where I live, my birthday, and gender. There is only one person that matches those three data points.

For now.

A truly anonymous service would start by not needing apps, which are notoriously leaky, on purpose.

Exactly this. The fact that the parent to your comment has spammed this answer a few times should indicate that there's a difference of opinion here.

This seems to be another platform trying to capitalize on the marketing gimmick of "privacy". It's become a very overloaded term. Apple's definition of privacy, is different from Google's, is different from Facebook's, is different from GrapheneOS', is different from...

It would be great if there was a privacy template that was recognized by a few, notable and trustworthy organizations. And that template would force the powers that be behind all of these "privacy oriented" sites and/or apps to be scrutinized in the same way, by a standard which would limit the definition gymnastics, at least a little. And that way said founders don't get to show up to forums and say "Well... By privacy we mean we're collecting all this information. And we have an open ended promise that's not protected in any way, shape or form - so while this is what we're telling you today, that may immediately go out the window when we're offered an undisclosed amount to sell all of the telemetry we weren't using to reverse engineer who you actually are".
