three·words — Privacy Policy
Last updated: 1 July 2026
three·words (“the app”, “we”, “us”) lets people describe each other in three words. This policy explains what we collect, why, and your choices. Questions: admin@threewordsapp.com.
What we collect
- Account information — the email address and password you use to sign in. Passwords are stored only as salted hashes by our authentication provider; we never see your plaintext password.
- Profile — the display name you choose and a randomly generated invite code.
- Submissions — the three words you send to describe others, and the three words others send to describe you, plus a timestamp and (if you choose to be named rather than anonymous) your display name.
- Moderation records — if you report content or block a user, we store that action so we can act on it and prevent further contact.
We do not collect location, contacts, advertising identifiers, or usage analytics, and we do not use tracking technologies.
How we use it
To operate the app: authenticate you, show your word cloud, deliver words you send, and keep the service safe (moderation). We do not sell your data or share it for advertising.
Where it's stored
Data is stored with our backend provider, Supabase, on secure cloud infrastructure. Access is restricted by row-level security so you can only read words addressed to you and your own profile.
Anonymity
When a sender chooses “stay anonymous,” their name is hidden from the recipient. The sender's account is still recorded internally so that reporting and blocking work; it is never shown to the recipient.
Your choices and rights
- Delete your account at any time in the app: Account → Delete my account. This permanently removes your profile and all words to and from you.
- Block any sender to stop them contacting you and hide their words.
- Report any words for review; we respond within 24 hours.
- Access or correction — email admin@threewordsapp.com.
Children
three·words is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from them.
Changes
We may update this policy; material changes will be noted here with a new date.
