Privacy Policy
Last updated 11 November 2026
Buddy is your personal AI friend. It only works if you can trust it with your life, so here is exactly what we keep, why, and who else sees it.
Who we are
Buddy App is a brand of CodeFather L.L.C-FZ, Meydan Grandstand, Meydan Road, Nad Al Sheba, Dubai, United Arab Emirates ("we"). We are responsible for your information in Buddy. Contact us at +971 54 321 3838 or by post at the address above.
The short version
- Your Buddy is yours. Each person's information sits in their own private space, separate from everyone else's.
- Buddy never sends anything on its own. Emails, messages and bookings Buddy writes wait for your OK.
- We don't sell your information and we don't use it for advertising.
- You can delete everything from the app at any time: Privacy & control, then Delete my Buddy account.
What we collect
- Account: your email address, and your name if you add it. Sign-in uses a one-time code; there is no password.
- What you tell Buddy: chats, facts you ask Buddy to remember, bills, income, saving goals, plans, birthdays and trips.
- What you choose to connect: only if you turn it on. Your phone calendar (read only), your location for the weather outfit, bill emails you forward, and other apps you approve through Buddy Connect, each limited to the areas you tick.
- Bookings: guest name, email, dates, room and price for hotel stays you book, and the payment status. Card details go straight to Stripe; we never see or store your full card number.
- Device: a notification token so Buddy can remind you, and basic technical logs to keep the service running and secure.
Why we use it
- To give you Buddy: answer you, remember what matters to you, remind you about bills and plans, and help with money and trips.
- To take payments and confirm hotel bookings you ask for, send your receipts, and handle cancellations and refunds.
- To keep Buddy secure, prevent fraud and abuse, and meet legal duties such as tax and accounting records.
Money help in Buddy is budgeting and saving help only, not financial advice.
Who else sees it
We use a few trusted providers to run Buddy. They may only use your information to provide their service to us.
| Provider | What for | What they get |
|---|---|---|
| Supabase | Sign-in | Your email and login records |
| Cloudflare | Hosting and storage of your Buddy | Everything you keep in Buddy, stored for you |
| Anthropic | The AI that writes Buddy's replies | The chat message and the context Buddy needs to answer. Not used to train their models. |
| Resend | Sign-in codes and receipts by email | Your email address and the email content |
| Stripe | Payments for hotel stays | Payment details you enter, amount, and order reference |
| Nuitée (LiteAPI) and the hotel | Booking your room | Guest name, email, dates and room |
| Expo | Delivering notifications | Your notification token and the reminder text |
| Open-Meteo | Weather for Buddy's outfit (only if on) | Your approximate location, sent from your phone |
We may also share information when the law requires it, or to protect people from harm. Apps you connect through Buddy Connect see only the areas you approved, and you can disconnect them at any time.
Where it is stored and how long
Our providers may process information outside your country, including in the EU and the United States, with appropriate safeguards. We keep your information while your account is open. When you delete your account, your Buddy data is deleted right away and your login is removed; payment and booking records we must keep for tax and accounting are kept for as long as the law requires.
Your choices and rights
- See, correct or delete what Buddy remembers in the app, at any time.
- Turn off location, calendar or connected apps in the app or in your phone settings.
- Delete your account and everything in it from Privacy & control.
- Ask us for a copy of your information, or ask questions or complain, using the contact details above. You can also contact your local data protection authority.
Security
Your Buddy can be locked with Face ID or your fingerprint, connections are encrypted, and each person's information is kept apart. No system is perfect, so we tell you promptly if something goes wrong that affects you.
Children
Buddy is not meant for children under 13, or the minimum age in your country, and we don't knowingly collect their information.
Changes
If we change this policy in a way that matters, we tell you in the app before it applies.
