Privacy Policy

Our Bulletin is a small, family-focused app for sharing children’s events and schedules with trusted family members. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices.

What we collect

When you use Our Bulletin, we collect:

• Your name and email address, used to identify you and let you sign in.
• The names and basic details of children in your family (display name, date of birth if you provide it, a color and initial for visual display). We do not collect last names, addresses, or photos of children.
• Events you create or are invited to see: title, date and time, location, notes, and which children the event is about.
• If you connect Google Calendar: an authorization token that lets Our Bulletin add and update events on your behalf. We never read events you didn’t create through Our Bulletin.
• Basic technical data needed to operate the app: when you last opened it, whether you’ve enabled notifications, your timezone.
• Feedback you submit through the in-app feedback form.

We do not collect or store payment information, location tracking, browsing history, or analytics about how you use the app.

How we use it

We use your information only to operate Our Bulletin: to show you the right events, to deliver notifications you’ve enabled, to sync events to your Google Calendar if you’ve connected it, and to respond to your feedback.

We do not sell your data. We do not share your data with advertisers or data brokers. We do not use your data to train AI models.

Who can see your data

Your family’s information is only visible to people you’ve explicitly invited:

• Editors (typically parents) can see and edit everything in their own family.
• Followers (typically grandparents and close family) can see events shared with them according to each event’s audience settings.
• Other families using Our Bulletin cannot see your family’s data. We’ve designed and tested the app to keep each family’s data isolated.

Third parties we use

To operate Our Bulletin, we rely on a few services:

• Supabase (database and authentication)
• Vercel (web hosting)
• Resend (email delivery for sign-in codes and notifications)
• Google (if you connect Google Calendar, your events go through their API)
• Google Maps (used to suggest addresses when you enter a location)

These services have their own privacy policies. We share with them only what’s needed to deliver Our Bulletin to you.

Children’s data

Our Bulletin is designed for adults to track their children’s schedules. Children themselves are not users of the app and do not sign in. Editors (parents) are responsible for deciding what information about their children is appropriate to share with their followers.

Leaving Our Bulletin

If you want to stop using Our Bulletin, contact the operator at coleichty@gmail.com. We will archive your family’s data immediately. Archived data is kept for 12 months and then permanently deleted from our database.

Some data may remain in services outside our control after archive:

• Events that were synced to your or your followers’ Google Calendars remain in those calendars until you remove them manually.
• Sign-in codes and feedback emails sent through Resend may remain in their delivery logs per their retention policy.

If you want your data fully deleted immediately, including from services where possible, contact the operator and we’ll do this manually.

Beta status

Our Bulletin is currently in private beta. The app is operated by an individual, not a company. Things may occasionally break. If something goes wrong, please use the in-app feedback form or contact the operator directly.

Changes to this policy

If we make material changes to this policy, we’ll let you know in the app and via email.
