Privacy policy

Intid is a private hangout app for one group of friends: voice rooms and text chat. It's run by Coding with Court, based in Tennessee, USA. You can only get an account with an invite from someone in the group. This page says what Intid keeps about you and why.

What Intid keeps

• Your account: the display name and color you pick, and whether you're an admin or a member.
• How you sign in: if you use a password, only a scrambled form of it (a hash), never the password itself. If you use Google, your Google account ID and email address. Your email address is never shown to other people in Intid.
• Your logins: a scrambled form of each login, so the app can keep you signed in.
• What you write: your chat messages, and the names of the channels and rooms people make.
• Invites: each invite's code, who made it, how many times it was used and when it expires.
• Times: when your account was made (and removed, if it was), when each login started and was last used, and when each message and invite was made.
• Server logs: the server records requests, including IP addresses. The logs stay on the server and are only used to find and fix problems.

Voice

Voice goes through Intid's own server to the other people in the room. It is not recorded or stored.

Google sign-in

If you choose Continue with Google, Intid asks Google for your basic profile and email address. It keeps your Google account ID and email address to recognize you next time, and only suggests your first name as a display name. It never posts anything or reads anything else from your Google account.

Intid's use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

On your computer

The app keeps your settings (theme, microphone, volumes) and your login on your computer. The login is encrypted by your computer's own protection.

Where it's kept, and who sees it

• Everything is kept on Intid's own server, hosted by DigitalOcean in Toronto, Canada.
• A copy of the database is made every night and kept for about a week, on the same server.
• People in the group see your name, color, messages and who's in a voice room. Admins also see who made each invite.
• There are no ads, analytics or trackers. Intid will never sell your information or share it with anyone, except if the law requires it.

Removing your information

If an admin removes you, you're signed out and can't log in again, but your old messages stay in the chat under your name, and removal doesn't erase your account details (such as your Google account ID and email address). To have your account and messages deleted, email codingwithcourt@gmail.com. They're deleted from the server, and drop out of the nightly copies within 8 days after that.

Children

Intid isn't meant for children under 13.
