Most "privacy-focused" apps still use analytics. They want to know when you click a button, how long you spend on a screen, or what your device model is. At Colloqio, we believe that tracking is inherently a privacy violation. We've opted for zero.
"The most secure data is the data that was never collected in the first place."
No Phoning Home
The standard practice in app development is to include "telemetry." These are systems that send back subtle pings every time you interact with a feature. We've stripped all of it out. We don't know if you're using the app, what time of day you prefer to chat, or even which features you use most. This makes our job harder, but your privacy safer.
What we actually collect
Our data collection policy is so short it fits on a post-it note:
- Launch List: If you sign up for our mailing list, we have your email address.
- Cloud Synthesis (Opt-in): If you choose to generate a 3D avatar, we receive your style preferences for that specific request.
Within the app itself, there is no login required, no profile tracking, and no background pings to our servers.
Physical Sandbox isolation
Your data lives in a secure sandbox on your iOS device. It's isolated from other apps and definitely isolated from us. We don't have a "backdoor," we don't have a "cloud backup," and we don't have your keys. If you lose your phone and didn't back it up locally (via iCloud/iTunes), your data is gone. That's the price of true privacy.
Transparency over Jargon
Our Privacy Policy is written for humans, not lawyers. We don't hide behind "service improvement" or "partner optimization" clauses. If we say we don't track you, we mean we don't track you.
