privacy policy

last updated · september 16, 2026

Ferried is a small, one-person app for sending short notes to people you're close to. This page describes what it collects, why, and how to delete it.

what we collect

• Your name. The first name you share via Sign in with Apple (or "friend" if you choose to hide it).
• An account identifier. A stable identifier from Sign in with Apple, used only to recognize your account.
• An email address. Whatever Sign in with Apple passes along — your real address, or the private relay alias Apple generates if you chose to hide it. It's held by our authentication provider as part of your account record. Ferried never emails you and never shows it to anyone else.
• The notes you send. Note text is stored only long enough to be delivered and read, then automatically deleted — Ferried does not keep a permanent archive of what you've written.
• A device push token, so we can notify you when a note arrives.
• Your device time zone, used only to compute when a note expires at your local midnight.
• Reports and blocks. If you report a note, we store the report — who filed it, who it's about, the reason, and a copy of the note — so it can be reviewed. If you block someone, we store that block so they can't reach you.
• Subscription status. Apple's App Store handles all payment details directly — Ferried never sees your card information. We only store whether a subscription is currently active.

what we don't do

• No advertising, no ad networks, no third-party analytics or trackers.
• No selling or sharing your data with anyone outside of running the app itself.
• No access to your notes' content by anyone other than the friend you sent it to — with one exception: if your friend reports a note, a copy of that note is kept and read by us to review the report.

where it's stored

Account and app data is stored with Firebase (Google Cloud), the backend Ferried runs on. Purchases are processed entirely by Apple's App Store.

deleting your data

You can permanently delete your account and all associated data at any time from the app: Settings → delete account. This removes your account, your connections, any of your notes still stored on our servers, the blocks you made or that involve you, and the reports you filed, immediately and permanently. Reports that other people filed about notes you sent are kept, so that deleting an account can't be used to erase a record of abuse under review.

Deleting also revokes Ferried's Sign in with Apple grant, so the app stops appearing under Settings → your name → Sign in with Apple on your device. Nothing is kept in a recovery window — there is no undo, and signing in again starts a genuinely new account.

children

Ferried is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from them.
