Privacy Policy
Last updated: 4/2/2026
1. Introduction
Obel is a personal legacy communication app allowing users to write messages and schedule future delivery based on an inactivity window. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information. We may update this policy periodically, and changes will be reflected by the date above.
2. What Obel Is Not
Obel is for personal communication only. It is not a legal will, estate planning, or financial instruction service. You remain solely responsible for the content and intended effect of your messages.
3. Information We Collect
- Account & Recipient Data: Your email, authentication details, and your recipients' contact info and optional nicknames.
- Message Content: Text, drafts, and scheduled delivery settings.
- Activity Signals: Login events, account activity timestamps, and message management actions used strictly to monitor your inactivity window.
- Technical & Support Data: Basic device info, performance logs, and communications with our support team.
4. How We Use Information
Our primary use of your data is to operate Obel: specifically, determining if your inactivity window has been reached and delivering messages accordingly. We also use data to provide customer support, maintain platform security, and improve technical reliability.
5. Inactivity-Based Delivery
Obel relies on your login and app activity to trigger message delivery. We do not make medical, legal, or official determinations of death, incapacity, or disappearance.
6. How We Share Information
We do not sell personal information. We share information only in the following limited circumstances:
- With trusted third-party service providers operating our essential infrastructure (e.g., cloud hosting, authentication, email delivery).
- When legally required or to protect our rights, prevent fraud, and ensure user safety.
7. Data Retention & Deletion
We retain your data only for as long as necessary to provide the service. You may request account and data deletion at any time within your app Settings or by contacting us.
8. Security & International Transfers
We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect your data, though no system is completely secure. Depending on your location, your information may be processed in jurisdictions outside your home country.
9. Children’s Privacy
Obel is not directed to children under 13 (or the applicable minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
