Privacy Policy

jewl(formerly flanl) (“jewl,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a jewelry and watch collection, portfolio, and social app for iOS, built and operated by an independent developer (the “Service”). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, where it is stored, and the choices you have. By using the Service, you agree to this policy.

Information we collect

We collect only the information needed to run the Service:

• Account information — your email address and a password, used to create and sign in to your account.
• Profile information — your username and display name, plus an optional bio and an optional avatar photo.
• Your content — the pieces you add to your collection: photos of your jewelry and watches and the details you enter about them (such as type, brand, model, materials, and, optionally, purchase prices and your own value overrides).
• Social activity — your friend/follow relationships and the likes and comments you make on posts.

We do not run ads, do not embed third-party advertising or tracking SDKs, and do not sell your personal data.

How we use your information

We use the information above to:

• Create and secure your account and sign you in.
• Store and display your collection to you and, only according to your visibility settings, to your friends.
• Estimate the value of your pieces and show your portfolio to you.
• Operate the social feed — showing friends’ posts, likes, and comments.
• Respond to your support requests and moderation reports, and keep the Service safe.

Financial information stays private to you

Financial values in the app — estimated values, purchase prices you enter, and value overrides you set — are visible only to you, the owner of the piece. They are never shown to other users, including your friends. Your collection is friends-only by default, and each piece has its own visibility control (for example, private), which you choose when you add or edit it.

How valuations work (no personal data involved)

Value estimates are generated using public marketplace listing data and published precious-metal spot prices. Requests to those public sources are made by our servers and contain no personal information about you — your identity, account, and content are never shared with them.

Where your data is stored (our processors)

We use a small number of infrastructure providers (“processors”) that store or handle data on our behalf:

• Supabase — authentication, database, and file storage. Your account, profile, content, photos, and social data live here, protected by per-user access rules.
• Vercel — hosting for our backend services.

These providers process data solely to provide their services to us and are bound by their own contractual and security obligations.

How we share information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We share it only:

• With the infrastructure processors listed above, to run the Service.
• When required by law — for example, in response to a valid legal request — or to protect the rights, safety, and security of the Service and its users.

Data retention and deletion

We keep your information for as long as your account exists. You can delete your account at any time directly in the app (Settings). Deleting your account deletes the account and its content — your profile, pieces, photos, and social activity — from our systems. Limited residual copies may persist briefly in routine backups before they expire, and we may retain minimal records where required by law.

Your rights

You can access and update your profile and content in the app at any time, and you can delete your account in Settings. You can also email us to request access to, or deletion of, your personal data.

• California residents — under the CCPA/CPRA you have the right to know what personal information we collect, to request its deletion, and to not be discriminated against for exercising those rights. We do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined in California law.
• EU/EEA and UK residents — under the GDPR you have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection. Our legal bases for processing are performance of our contract with you (providing the Service) and our legitimate interest in keeping it secure. You may also lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.

To exercise any of these rights, use the in-app tools or email support@getflanl.com.

Children

The Service is not directed to children under 13, and you must be at least 13 years old to use it. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect your information, including per-user access controls on stored data and private storage for your photos. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to protect your data.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the updated version here with a new “Last updated” date. Material changes will be communicated in the app where appropriate.
