Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 17, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how Tanned ("we", "our", or "us"), operated by Coolappcompany, Limassol, Cyprus, collects, uses, and shares your information when you use the Tanned mobile application (the "App").
By using the App, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
1. Information We Collect
Account information. When you sign up with Sign in with Apple, we receive your Apple ID identifier, name (if you choose to share it), and email (if you choose to share it). You may provide additional profile details such as display name and profile photo.
Age and skin type.During onboarding, we ask your birthday and your skin's response to sunlight. We use this to personalize UV safety recommendations and to enforce our minimum age requirement of 16 years.
Location data. With your permission, the App accesses your device location to provide local UV index data, weather conditions, and sun-safety recommendations. Location data is used in real time and is not continuously tracked in the background.
Session data. When you log a tanning session, we store the start time, end time, duration, UV index during the session, estimated vitamin D exposure, and location. If you choose to share the session with friends, your tan line photo and caption are included.
Photos. Photos you capture or upload for session posts are stored on our backend servers (Supabase Storage). Photos are only visible to your friends within the App. You can delete photos at any time.
Contacts. With your permission, the App reads your phone contacts to help you find friends already on Tanned or invite new friends. Contact information is processed on-device and is not uploaded to our servers in bulk — we only transmit hashed phone numbers for matching.
Notifications. With your permission, we send push notifications about UV alerts, session reminders, and social activity (likes, comments, friend requests).
Device and usage data. We collect technical information such as device type, operating system version, app version, language, and crash reports for debugging and product improvement.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to:
- Provide the core App functionality (UV data, session tracking, social feed, leaderboards)
- Personalize content based on your skin type, age, and location
- Enable social features (friend requests, shared posts, leaderboards)
- Send notifications you've opted into
- Improve, secure, and maintain the App
- Comply with legal obligations
- Enforce our Terms of Service and prevent misuse
3. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information.
We share information only as follows:
- With your friends in the App. Posts, session stats, leaderboard rankings, and profile details are visible to users you have added as friends.
- With service providers. We use third-party services (Supabase for authentication and database, Apple WeatherKit or WeatherAPI.com for UV data, Apple Push Notification Service for notifications, OpenAI for optional AI skin analysis) who process data on our behalf under strict confidentiality agreements.
- For legal reasons. We may disclose information when required by law, subpoena, or valid legal process.
- In aggregated or anonymized form. We may share aggregated statistics that do not identify you individually.
4. Children's Privacy
Tanned is not intended for children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. During onboarding, we ask for your birthday and block accounts identified as under 16. If we become aware that we have collected information from a child under 16, we will delete it promptly.
