Privacy Policy

At Bonva, your privacy is foundational to everything we build. Relationships are deeply personal, and we treat the information you share with us with the care and respect it deserves. This Privacy Policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and your rights as a user.

1. Information We Collect

Information you provide directly:

• Your name and your partner's name (used to personalize your experience)
• Relationship information such as how long you've been together and your relationship status
• Quiz responses, mood check-ins, bucket list items, timeline entries, and special dates
• Messages you send to Nova, our AI relationship coach
• Account preferences including notification preferences

Information collected automatically:

• Usage data such as which features you use and how frequently
• Device type and browser information
• Payment information processed securely through Stripe (we never store your card details)

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information solely to:

• Provide and personalize the Bonva experience for you and your partner
• Power Nova's AI coaching with context about your relationship (only when you're actively using Nova)
• Track your progress and relationship streaks
• Process payments for premium subscriptions
• Send service communications (not marketing spam)
• Improve Bonva based on aggregated, anonymized usage patterns

We do not sell your personal data. We do not use your private conversations with Nova for advertising. Your relationship data is yours.

3. Data Storage

Most of your Bonva data is stored locally in your browser's localStorage — meaning it lives on your device, not our servers. This includes your quiz scores, daily question responses, bucket list, timeline, and mood logs.

When you create an account, your profile data is stored securely in Supabase (our database provider). When you use Nova, your messages are sent to Anthropic's API to generate responses. Anthropic's data handling practices are governed by their own Privacy Policy. We do not store your Nova conversation history on our servers.

Payment data is handled entirely by Stripe. We never see or store your credit card information.

4. Partner Linking

When you connect with your partner using a room code, we store a link record in Supabase linking your two accounts. This allows both partners to see each other's quiz scores and daily question answers. No private conversation data is shared between accounts. Either partner may disconnect at any time through Settings.

5. Data Sharing

We share your information only with:

• Anthropic — to power Nova's AI responses (messages only, no profile data)
• Stripe — to process payments securely
• Supabase — to store account profiles and partner linking data
• Hostinger — to host and serve the application

We never sell, rent, or share your personal information with advertisers, data brokers, or any third parties for commercial purposes.

6. Therapist Review

The Therapist Review area is password-protected and intended solely for licensed mental health professionals working with clients who have chosen to share their Bonva data. Therapists are responsible for obtaining appropriate consent from their clients before accessing this area.

7. Children's Privacy

Bonva is designed for adults 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, please contact us at support@bonva.app and we will promptly delete it.

8. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access and download your data at any time
• Delete your data by using the account deletion option in Settings or submitting a request at bonva.app/delete-account.html
• Opt out of any marketing communications
• Request information about how your data is used

If you are a resident of California, the EU, or another jurisdiction with specific privacy rights, you may have additional rights. Please contact us to exercise them.

9. Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. All data transmitted between your device and our servers uses HTTPS encryption. Payment processing is handled by Stripe, which is PCI-DSS compliant. Account data is stored in Supabase with row-level security enabled.

However, no system is perfectly secure. We encourage you to use a strong, unique password and to contact us immediately at support@bonva.app if you suspect any unauthorized access.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of Bonva after changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
