Privacy Policy
Effective June 19, 2025
Steadyfy is built on a single belief: your story belongs to you. This policy explains, in plain language, what information we collect, why we collect it, who we share it with, and what control you have over it.
We do not sell your data. We do not show you ads. We do not build profiles to target you. Everything we collect exists to make Steadyfy work for you.
§Who we are
Steadyfy is a journaling and support app where people share personal journeys and receive anonymous encouragement from others. The app is operated by the Steadyfy team. When this policy says "we," "us," or "our," it means Steadyfy. When it says "you," it means you — the person using the app or website.
Questions about this policy can be directed to [email protected].
§Data we collect
We collect only what is necessary to run the app.
Account information
- —Your email address — used only for authentication. It is never shown to other users.
- —A randomly generated username (e.g. "quietrain42"). You may set a custom username in Settings, but you are never required to use your real name.
- —A unique user ID assigned by our authentication provider, Supabase.
Content you create
- —Journey posts — the title and body of journeys you start.
- —Updates — written notes you add to your own journeys over time.
- —"Me Too" reactions — a record that you reacted to a post (not visible to post authors by name).
Voice data (optional)
- —If you use the read-to-me feature, the text of a chapter is sent to ElevenLabs to generate audio. No recording of your voice is made.
- —If you choose to clone your voice, you record audio samples that are uploaded to ElevenLabs for processing. This requires explicit consent and can be revoked at any time. See Section 4.
Technical information
- —Device type and operating system version — used to diagnose crashes.
- —App version — used to identify incompatible builds.
- —Network requests and error logs — used to monitor service health. These logs are automatically deleted after 30 days.
What we do not collect
- —Your real name, phone number, or physical address.
- —Location data of any kind.
- —Contacts, photos, or camera access (except when you explicitly upload a voice sample).
- —Behavioral tracking or advertising identifiers.
§How we use it
- —To create and manage your account.
- —To store and display the content you post.
- —To deliver the read-to-me audio feature.
- —To notify you of activity on your journeys (in-app only — we do not send marketing emails).
- —To diagnose technical problems and improve reliability.
- —To comply with legal obligations if required.
We do not use your data to train AI models. We do not use it for advertising. We do not build profiles about you beyond what is needed to run the app.
§Voice features
Steadyfy offers two voice features powered by ElevenLabs:
Read-to-me
When you tap "Listen," the text of the selected chapter is sent to the ElevenLabs API, which returns a synthesised audio file. The text is sent over an encrypted connection. ElevenLabs may retain request logs for a limited period in accordance with their privacy policy. We do not store the generated audio files on our servers.
Voice cloning (optional)
Voice cloning is an optional, opt-in feature. Before recording, you are shown a consent screen that explains exactly how your voice data will be used. You must actively agree before any recording begins.
By consenting, you acknowledge that:
- —Your voice samples are transmitted to ElevenLabs to create a personal voice model.
- —Your voice model is used only to narrate your own content within Steadyfy.
- —ElevenLabs processes your voice data under their own privacy policy and data processing terms.
- —You can delete your cloned voice at any time from within the app. Deletion requests are forwarded to ElevenLabs immediately.
You are never required to clone your voice to use Steadyfy. The feature exists solely for users who want a more personal listening experience.
§How long we keep it
- —Account data and content you create — retained for as long as your account is active.
- —Error and request logs — automatically deleted after 30 days.
- —Voice samples and cloned voice models — deleted from ElevenLabs when you delete the voice from within the app or delete your account.
- —Deleted posts and updates — permanently removed from our database within 7 days of deletion.
- —Deleted accounts — all associated personal data is purged within 30 days of account deletion.
§Your rights
Regardless of where you live, you have the following rights with respect to your data:
- —Access — request a copy of all personal data we hold about you.
- —Correction — ask us to fix inaccurate data.
- —Deletion — request that we delete your account and all associated data.
- —Portability — request your content (posts and updates) in a machine-readable format.
- —Withdraw voice consent — delete your cloned voice model at any time from Settings → Voice → Your cloned voices.
- —Opt out — stop using the app at any time. We do not make it difficult to leave.
To exercise any of these rights, email us at [email protected] or use the in-app account deletion option in Settings. We will respond within 30 days.
If you are in the European Economic Area, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
§Children
Steadyfy is intended for users aged 17 and older. The app deals with sensitive personal topics including mental health, personal struggles, and emotional wellbeing. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 17.
If you believe a child under 17 has created an account, please contact us at [email protected] and we will delete the account promptly.
§Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the effective date at the top and — for significant changes — notify you via an in-app banner or email.
Continued use of Steadyfy after the effective date of a revised policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms.
