Pillara — Privacy Policy

Effective date: November 13, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what information Pillara handles and the choices you have.

1. Information You Provide

The App works with information you choose to enter: your name, birth date, optional birth time, profile details and photos, an optional city you type yourself, an optional verification selfie, and information about people you add — names, birth dates, companies, and notes. If you use the contact import feature, the App reads names and birthdays from contacts you select. The App never accesses your device's GPS or location services; any city shown on your profile is text you entered, displayed only while your "show my city" setting is on.

2. Where Your Data Lives

Your book is stored on your device. When you choose the Pillara folder in iCloud Drive, that same book is what your iPhone, iPad, and Mac save into, and iCloud Drive carries it between them. We do not operate servers that receive your personal information, we do not sell personal information, and we do not share it with third parties for advertising. If future community features require online accounts, we will update this policy and ask for your consent before any information is sent to a Pillara server.

3. Device Permissions

The App asks permission before accessing your contacts (to import birthdays), your photo library (for profile photos), your camera (for verification selfies), your calendar (to show which saved people appear in upcoming events, including Outlook or Exchange calendars synced to this iPhone), and notifications (for the optional daily read, Monday Morning Brief, birthday reminders, and connection or message alerts you turn on in Settings). Each permission is optional, is used only for the stated feature on your device, and can be revoked at any time in iOS Settings. Calendar events are read on-device and are never stored or transmitted.

4. Backups You Create

Settings → Backup lets you save a single file containing your profile, people, photos, chats, connections, Circles, Functions, moderation records you created locally, and invite stature. You choose where that file goes — such as your own iCloud Drive — and it is under your control, not ours. Restoring a backup replaces the book on that device.

5. Your Rights: Export and Deletion

You can export a complete copy of your data, or permanently erase all of it, at any time from Me → Legal & Your Data. Erasing removes your profile, contacts, photos, chats, connections, and settings from this device. Deleting the App on a device deletes the book stored on that device.

6. Children

The App is not directed at children under 17, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.

7. Changes

We will update the effective date above when this policy changes and note material changes in the App.
