Privacy Policy

Last updated: 21 May 2026  ·  Effective: 21 May 2026

The short version: Nuzzle is offline-first. Your relationship content — messages, check-ins, photos, conflict notes — lives on your device. It is synced via encrypted changesets through Firebase (Google's infrastructure). We do not own or operate backend servers that store your relationship content. We cannot read it, and we do not sell it.

This Privacy Policy explains how Naturamind Intelligence One Private Limited (trading as Nuzzle) ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you use the Nuzzle mobile application ("App") and website at trynuzzle.app ("Site"). By using Nuzzle, you agree to this policy.


1. Information we collect

1.1 Account information

When you create an account we collect:

  • Your email address or Google account identifier (via Firebase Authentication)
  • A display name if you choose to provide one
  • A pairing world ID that links your account to your partner's account

We do not collect your phone number, date of birth, or payment card details directly. Subscription payments are processed by Apple App Store or Google Play and governed by their respective privacy policies.

1.2 Sync metadata

When your device syncs with your partner's device, encrypted CRDT (conflict-free replicated data type) changesets travel through Firebase Firestore. These changesets are structural deltas that describe what changed — they are not readable content. We can confirm that a sync event occurred; we cannot read what was synced.

1.3 Media storage

Photos you share in the App are uploaded to Firebase Storage under your account's storage namespace. Files are stored encrypted. We do not process, scan, or analyse the content of your photos.

1.4 Technical and diagnostic data

We collect anonymised crash reports and error logs through standard mobile SDK tooling. These logs contain device type, OS version, and stack traces. They do not contain relationship content.

1.5 What we do NOT collect

We do not collect or have access to:

  • The content of your messages, glows, or pebbles
  • Your mood check-in responses
  • Your conflict notes or journal entries
  • Your Love Map answers or game session responses
  • Your creature's name
  • Your Nest decoration choices
  • Any content stored in your on-device Isar database

2. How we use your information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Authenticate your account and link it to your partner's account
  • Deliver push notifications (glows, pebbles, ritual reminders, monthly chapter alerts)
  • Process and verify your subscription status via App Store / Google Play
  • Diagnose and fix technical issues using anonymised crash data
  • Comply with legal obligations

We do not use your data to train machine learning models. We do not build advertising profiles. We do not sell or license any data to third parties for marketing purposes.


3. Third-party services

Nuzzle uses the following third-party services. Each has its own privacy policy:

  • Firebase (Google LLC) — Authentication, Firestore sync transport, Firebase Storage, Cloud Functions, Firebase Cloud Messaging. Firebase Privacy
  • Apple App Store / Google Play — Subscription billing and in-app purchase processing

We do not share your data with any other third parties except as required by law.


4. Data retention

On-device data persists until you uninstall the App or clear app data. It is not stored on our servers.

Firebase sync changesets are retained for 90 days after your last active session, then deleted automatically.

Firebase Storage files (photos) are retained until you delete them in-App or delete your account.

Account data (email, pairing ID) is retained until you request deletion.

To request full account and data deletion, email [email protected]. We will process deletion requests within 30 days.


5. Your rights

5.1 India — Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDPA)

Nuzzle is developed and operated from India. The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 is our primary data protection framework. Under the DPDPA, you ("Data Principal") have the following rights:

  • Right of Access — request a summary of personal data we hold about you and the processing activities we have carried out
  • Right of Correction and Erasure — request correction of inaccurate or misleading personal data, and deletion of personal data that is no longer necessary for the purpose it was collected
  • Right of Grievance Redressal — raise a grievance with us regarding processing of your personal data. We will acknowledge within 48 hours and resolve within 30 days
  • Right to Nominate — nominate another individual to exercise your rights on your behalf in the event of your death or incapacity

As Data Fiduciary, we process your personal data only for the purposes described in this policy, with your consent, or as permitted by applicable law. Our Grievance Officer can be reached at: [email protected]. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may escalate to the Data Protection Board of India once it is constituted.

5.2 EEA / UK users — GDPR

We act as data controller for account and metadata. Firebase (Google LLC) acts as data processor under a Data Processing Agreement. Our legal basis for processing is performance of a contract (account and sync services) and legitimate interests (crash diagnostics). You have rights of access, rectification, erasure, portability, and objection. To exercise these rights contact [email protected].

5.3 California users — CCPA

We do not sell personal information. We do not share personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising. California residents may request disclosure or deletion of personal information by contacting [email protected].

5.4 All other users

Regardless of your location you may at any time: request access to your data, request correction, or request deletion of your account. Contact [email protected].


6. Children's privacy

Nuzzle is intended for users aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has created an account, contact us at [email protected] and we will delete the account promptly.


7. Security

Sync data travels as encrypted CRDT changesets. Firebase Storage files are encrypted at rest. Firebase connections use TLS in transit. We follow industry-standard practices for securing account credentials. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.


8. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes via in-App notification or email at least 14 days before the changes take effect. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance.
