Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 20, 2026
GoOutsideBro (“GoOutsideBro,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a social app that helps you and your friends compete to spend lesstime on your phones. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use the GoOutsideBro mobile app and related services (the “Service”), how we use it, and the choices you have.
By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
1. Information we collect
Account and profile information
- Phone number. You sign in with a one-time passcode sent to your mobile number. We store your number to authenticate you and to help friends find you.
- Profile details you provide, such as your username, display name, avatar image, bio, and time zone.
- Device platform (iOS or Android) so we can deliver notifications correctly.
Screen-time and usage data
Screen-time data is the core of the Service. With your permission, the app reads this information from your device’s built-in tools (Screen Time on iOS, Usage Access on Android) and uploads it to, and stores it on, our servers so we can show your history and trends and rank you against your friends. When you first join, we may also collect and store up to approximately the past month of screen-time history already available on your device. Specifically, we collect and store:
- Daily screen time. The total number of minutes you spend on your device each day.
- Per-app usage.How much time you spend in individual apps, along with each app’s name and category, to power your breakdowns, recaps, records, and “favorite app” insights.
- Streaks, achievements, and personal records that we derive from your usage over time and store on our servers.
Social information
- Your connections — friend requests, friendships, groups you join or create, and invites or referral codes you send and redeem.
- Content you create— reactions and comments you post on friends’ activity, and challenges you join.
Device and technical information
- Push notification tokens. If you enable notifications, we store a device token from Apple Push Notification service (APNs) or Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) so we can send you alerts.
- Log and diagnostic data such as timestamps and error reports generated when you interact with the Service.
2. How we use your information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide, operate, and maintain the Service;
- Authenticate you and keep your account secure;
- Calculate your screen-time trends, streaks, rankings, achievements, and weekly recaps;
- Power social features — feeds, leaderboards, groups, challenges, reactions, and comments;
- Send you push notifications and reminders (which you can turn off at any time);
- Help friends find and connect with you using your phone number;
- Detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, and technical issues; and
- Comply with legal obligations.
3. How we share your information
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only in the following ways:
- With other users. Your username, display name, avatar, screen-time figures, streaks, achievements, rankings, and the reactions and comments you post are visible to your friends, group members, and — where applicable — on leaderboards, as part of the social nature of the Service.
- With service providers who process data on our behalf under confidentiality obligations, including Supabase (authentication and database hosting), Google Firebase Cloud Messaging and Apple Push Notification service (delivering notifications).
- For legal reasons — to comply with applicable law, regulation, legal process, or enforceable governmental request, or to protect the rights, property, and safety of our users and the public.
- In a business transfer — if we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
4. Data retention
We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. If you delete your account, we will delete or de-identify your personal information within a reasonable period, except where we are required to retain it to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce our agreements.
5. Your choices and rights
- Access and update. You can view and edit your profile information in the app.
- Notifications. You can disable push notifications in your device settings or within the app at any time.
- Delete your account. You can request deletion of your account and associated data from within the app or by contacting us.
- Regional rights. Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or port your personal data, or to object to or restrict certain processing. Contact us to exercise these rights.
6. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, including encryption in transit and access controls. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
7. Children’s privacy
The Service is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to delete it.
8. International data transfers
We and our service providers may process and store your information in countries other than the one in which you live. Where required, we take steps to ensure your information receives an adequate level of protection.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above and, where appropriate, notify you in the app. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
