Privacy Policy
Your privacy isn't just a feature—it's our foundation.
Last updated: December 1, 2025
Our Privacy Promise
At Night Owl, we believe that late-night conversations should stay between you and the people you choose to share them with. We built this app for night owls who want genuine connections without sacrificing their privacy. Unlike other social apps, we don't sell your data, we don't show you ads, and we don't track your every move.
What We Collect (And Why)
Account Information
Your email address (for account recovery only), username, and password. We never require your real name or phone number.
Mood & Preferences
The moods you select help us match you with like-minded night owls. This data is used solely for matching and is never shared externally.
Messages & Thoughts
Your conversations are end-to-end encrypted. We cannot read them, and they auto-delete based on your settings.
Usage Data
Anonymous analytics help us improve the app. We track features used, not the content you create.
