We do not use your messages to train AI models, personalize advertising, build profiles for third parties, or any purpose beyond running the service for you.

04 How we share your information

We share information only in these limited situations:

05 Service providers we use

To run Quipster, we share limited data with the following service providers, who are bound by contracts to use the data only for the services they provide to us:

Each of these providers has its own privacy policy that governs how it handles data. Links are available on request.

06 How long we keep your information

We keep your information only as long as needed to provide the service:

07 How we protect your information

We use industry-standard security measures including encrypted connections (TLS), encrypted databases, restricted access controls, and regular security review of our infrastructure.

That said: no system is perfectly secure. SMS itself is not end-to-end encrypted at the carrier level. If you're storing extremely sensitive information (Social Security numbers, banking credentials, medical details), please consider whether SMS is the right channel for it. We recommend using shortcuts for things you'd be okay with someone seeing on your lock screen.

08 Your rights — US residents

To exercise any of these rights, email hello@quipster.net with the subject "Privacy Request." We'll respond within the timeframe required by your state's law (typically 45 days).

09 Your rights — EU, UK, and EEA residents

If you're in the European Union, the United Kingdom, or the European Economic Area, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR give you these rights:

Legal bases for processing: We process your personal data on the following legal bases under GDPR Article 6:

10 Children's privacy

Quipster is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If we learn we've collected data from a child under 13, we'll delete it. Parents or guardians who believe their child has provided us with information can email hello@quipster.net.

For users between 13 and 18, we recommend reviewing this policy with a parent or guardian. The service may not be appropriate for unsupervised use by minors.

11 International data transfers

Quipster operates from the United States. If you use the service from outside the US, your information will be transferred to and processed in the US, where data protection laws may differ from those in your country.

For transfers from the EU, UK, or EEA, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission, or on your explicit consent, as appropriate. We take steps to ensure your data receives an adequate level of protection wherever it is processed.

12 Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we'll notify you by email or SMS before the changes take effect. The "Effective" date at the top of this page indicates when the current version took effect.

Continued use of Quipster after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy. If you don't agree to the changes, you can cancel your subscription.
