Privacy Policy

This policy explains what Dad Unscripted collects when you use the app, why, who helps us run it, and the choices you have. We wrote it in plain language. If anything is unclear, contact us.

Who we are

Dad Unscripted is a community app for fathers, run by Dad Unscripted, a company based in Lebanon. In this policy, "we" and "us" mean Dad Unscripted.

You can reach us about privacy at [email protected].

What we collect

• Account: your email address and your password. Passwords are handled by our authentication provider; we never see them in plain text. If you sign in with Google or Apple, we receive your email address (and your name, if you choose to share it) from them instead of a password.
• Profile: your display name, username, short bio and profile photo, your dad status, the number of children you have and their age ranges, your interests and the circles you join.
• What you share: posts, replies, photos, voice notes, reactions and saved conversations.
• Safety: reports you make or that are made about content, blocks between members, and moderation decisions.
• Sessions: when you book a session with Dad Unscripted, the session you chose, its time, your optional note and your device's time zone.
• Technical: sign-in session information, timestamps, and the IP address and basic device and app information that our servers record in their logs to run the service and keep it secure.

We do not collect your location, your contacts, advertising identifiers, or analytics or tracking data.

Why we use it

• To create and run your account and the community.
• To show what you share to other members, as the app describes when you post.
• To moderate content, act on reports and keep members safe.
• To handle session bookings and send you emails about them.
• To protect accounts and the service from abuse.
• To meet our legal obligations.

We use your information because you asked us to provide the service, because you agreed, or because we need it to keep the community safe and meet the law.

Anonymous posts

When you post anonymously, other members see "Anonymous Dad" instead of your profile. The service still knows which account wrote it, so we can moderate and keep people safe. What you write, and photos you add, can still identify you or your children.

Who helps us run the service

• Our cloud hosting, database and authentication provider, which stores your account and community data.
• Our media storage servers, which store photos and voice notes.
• Our email delivery provider, which sends sign-in and booking emails.

These providers process data only to run the service for us. We do not sell your data. We share it with others only when the law requires it, or when it is needed to protect someone from serious harm.

Where your data is stored

Our providers' servers are outside Lebanon. We use providers that protect data with contractual and technical safeguards, including encryption in transit and access controls. By using the app, you understand that your data is stored and processed outside Lebanon.

How long we keep it

• We keep your information while your account exists.
• When you delete your account, we remove your profile and the content you shared from the service, and delete your stored photos and voice notes.
• If content was reported or removed by moderators, a copy kept for moderation is erased 90 days after the report is closed or the action is taken.
• Session bookings stay in our records for administration, without your note and without your identity.
• Backups may hold copies for a limited time before they are replaced.

Your rights

You can ask to see the information we hold about you, correct it, or delete it. You can object to how we use it or withdraw your consent, which may mean you can no longer use the app. You can also complain to the data-protection authority where you live.

Many changes can be made in the app: edit your profile in Settings, or delete your account in Settings, Account. For anything else, email [email protected]. We answer within 30 days.

Children

Dad Unscripted is for adults who are 18 or older. We do not knowingly collect information from children. Please do not share your children's names, faces, schools or other details that could identify them; our Community Guidelines explain more.

Security

We use encryption in transit, access controls and careful handling of media to protect your information. No system is perfectly secure, so please use a strong password and tell us if you notice anything wrong.

Changes to this policy

When we change this policy we update the date at the top. If the change matters, we ask you to accept it again in the app.
