Safety & Privacy
Your story is yours
Privacy and safety aren't add-ons—they're built into every feature from the ground up.
Quick Exit
A small Exit button leaves DivorcePost for a weather page in one tap, and locks the app behind you if app lock is on. It appears automatically if you tell us safety is a concern, and you can switch it on any time.
- One tap to a neutral weather page
- Locks the app on the way out
- Always reachable, never covers the screen
- iOS still shows a brief "back to DivorcePost" link
Discreet App Icon
Swap the home-screen icon for a plain calculator or notes tile. To be straight with you: iOS does not let any app change its own name, so the label under the icon still reads DivorcePost.
- Calculator or notes icon
- Changed from Settings, any time
- The name under the icon does not change
- iOS shows a one-time alert when it changes
App Lock
Turn on app lock and DivorcePost stays behind Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode. The app also hides its contents in the iOS app switcher, so the preview card does not show what you were reading.
- Face ID, Touch ID, or device passcode
- Re-locks after a minute in the background
- Contents hidden in the app switcher
- Off by default — you turn it on in Settings
Encrypted and Access-Controlled
Your journals, documents, and messages are encrypted in transit to our servers and encrypted at rest in our hosted database and file storage. Internal access to production data is restricted.
- TLS encryption in transit
- Encryption at rest via our cloud provider
- Restricted internal access to production data
- No system is perfectly secure — see our Privacy Policy
Deleted Means Deleted
When you delete your account, we erase your records rather than hiding them. Your uploaded files and database rows are removed as part of the request, not archived for later.
- Immediate erasure, no waiting period
- Uploaded files and attachments removed too
- Request a copy of your data at any time
- Backups expire automatically on their own schedule
Never Sold, Never Advertised Against
We do not sell your personal information, and we never hand private app content to advertisers for ad targeting. When you use the AI companion, your message and recent context go to our model providers solely to generate a response.
- No sale of personal information
- No private app content shared with advertisers
- Model providers contractually barred from training on your data
- Passwords and payment credentials are never sent to AI providers
Crisis Ready
Immediate access to crisis resources without revealing why you need them. We never provide medical or legal advice.
