nest

privacy policy

this is a draft.it accurately describes what nest actually collects and does today, but it hasn’t been reviewed by a lawyer yet — treat it as a good-faith starting point, not a final legal document, until that review happens.

what we collect

  • account info: your email address, username, display name, and (optionally) a bio and profile photo.
  • content you post: photos, captions, recipes, tags, and — if you choose to add one — a location tag on a post.
  • social activity: who you follow, your likes, comments, bookmarks, and pantry collections.
  • messages: the text and photos you send in direct/group conversations with other nest users.
  • device info: a push-notification token, only if you turn push notifications on.
  • usage & error data: we use Sentry to catch bugs — it captures error reports and, only when an error actually happens, a short recording of what was on your screen at the time, to help us fix the problem.

how we use it

To run the app: show your feed, deliver your messages, notify you about activity on your content, and let people find and follow you. We don’t sell your data, and we don’t share it with advertisers.

who else sees it

Posts, recipes, and profile info you make public are visible to anyone using nest. Messages are only visible to the people in that conversation. Behind the scenes, we use a small number of service providers to run nest: Supabase (database, authentication, file storage, realtime messaging), Vercel (hosting), and Sentry (error monitoring) — each only processes what they need to provide that service to us.

how long we keep it

We keep your content for as long as your account exists. Deleting a post or comment removes it from the app immediately. Deleting your account (in settings) permanently and irreversibly deletes your profile, posts, photos, and messages. One exception: if someone else replied to a comment of yours, their reply stays up (it’s their content, not yours) — it just stops being attributed to your account.

your rights

You can view and edit your profile information, and permanently delete your account, at any time from settings— no need to ask us. We don’t yet have a self-service “download my data” button; if you’d like a copy of your data, contact us using the details below and we’ll get it to you.

children’s privacy

nest isn’t directed at children, and we don’t knowingly collect information from anyone under 13. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we’ll remove it.

changes to this policy

If this policy changes in a meaningful way, we’ll let you know before the change takes effect.
