Cozy Campfire is made by Infinite Gamer LLC. This page explains what we collect, why we collect it, who helps us handle it, and what happens when you delete your account.
The short version
- We store your phone number, display name, optional photo, questions, recordings, messages, and the information needed to run conversations.
- Your recordings and messages are limited to people in the same conversation. Your display name, profile photo, and any question set you make public can be seen by anyone signed in.
- If you invite someone from your contacts, we send phone numbers to our server to find existing accounts. We do not keep a copy of your address book.
- We use normal app records to run the service. If you leave usage sharing on, we also use those records for summary reports that help us improve Campfire. You can turn this off in Settings. If you contact support, we receive your email address and what you send us.
- We have no ads or advertising trackers. We do not sell your information.
- Deleting your account removes your account and content, with the exceptions below. If cleanup fails, the account stays open so you can try again.
What we collect and why
Your account
You sign in with a US phone number and a six digit code. Twilio Verify receives the number to send the code. We keep the number so you can sign back in and so a friend who invited you by phone can connect with you when you join.
You choose your display name and, if you want one, a profile photo. The iOS photo picker gives the app only the image you choose. Cozy Campfire does not scan your photo library. Anyone signed in can see your display name and profile photo, so use only what you are comfortable sharing with other people in the app.
Contacts and invitations
Cozy Campfire does not copy or store your address book. The contact invitation screen sends phone numbers to our server to find people who already have accounts. These lookup numbers are not saved in our database, though they can appear in ordinary Supabase service and security logs. If you use the iOS picker while sending a question, only the chosen person's number is sent.
If that person does not have an account, we save their name, number, and your question with the invitation. You can cancel a pending invitation by deleting its conversation. After they join, we keep the invitation, marked as accepted, until you delete your account. They can also ask us to remove their number by emailing support@infinitegamer.me.
Invitation texts are sent from your number through Messages. We know whether iOS says the message was sent or scheduled, but not whether it was delivered or read. You can also share a campfire link. Anyone with the active link can join, including someone it was forwarded to. Turning off the link stops new people from joining but does not remove current members.
Questions, recordings, and messages
We store each question, who is in the conversation, who has answered, when people last opened it, and when they sent a nudge. This runs the inbox, badge count, and reminder limits.
Video and voice answers are kept in private file storage with a video preview image, length, and posting time. People in the conversation can play an answer only after recording their own. Before then, they may see a blurred preview but cannot play the recording. Text, voice, and video follow-ups use the same rule.
Playback links work for up to one hour and are issued only after a permission check. Saved or cached copies can last longer, even after the original is deleted. Someone who has unlocked a recording can also save or forward it with the iOS share sheet.
Notifications
If you allow notifications, we store the address that routes pushes to your phone. Expo and Apple receive that address, generic wording such as “A new response is ready,” and the internal numbers needed to open the right conversation. They do not receive names, questions, messages, or recordings in the notification.
We record your notification setting and whether our notification provider accepted or failed to send a push. The updated app does not report notification opens or receipts for analytics. Signing out deletes the push address for that phone.
Usage and technical data
When usage sharing is on, we use existing app records for summary counts, such as questions sent and replies posted. The underlying records are linked to accounts; this is not anonymous collection. These reports do not include the text of your questions, messages, or recordings.
The usage-sharing box starts checked during profile setup. You can uncheck it before continuing or turn off “Share how I use the app” in Settings. Your choice applies to your account. Turning it off excludes your account's activity from these optional reports. It does not remove the records needed to run your conversations, deliver notifications, keep the service secure, or handle support.
The updated app does not collect foreground session lengths or send performance telemetry to Expo's EAS Observe service. Apple separately provides usage and crash reports under its own sharing settings and TestFlight terms.
Earlier versions collected account-linked app-use and technical data, notification observations, and prior versions of custom questions and sets, including private and unsent ones. We have stopped new session and question-version collection on the server. Older app versions may still send technical data to EAS Observe until they update. Previously collected records remain subject to the deletion and retention details below.
Public question sets
A question set is private unless you choose to make it public. A public set's title, questions, and your display name are visible to everyone signed in.
Reports and support
If you report a recording, message, or person, we store the report, the people and conversation involved, the reason, anything you typed, and information needed to find the reported item. Reporting a recording or message hides it from you immediately.
Resend sends a private support alert with report details, but not the recording itself. If email delivery fails, the report remains available for review.
Moderation reports and alert copies can remain after either account is deleted or a report is withdrawn. They currently have no automatic expiry.
If you email support, our email service stores your address, message, and attachments. Anthropic processes email headers and sanitized message text to sort and summarize requests, recommend next steps, and prepare draft replies. Attachments are not sent to Anthropic.
What we do not do
- We do not sell your information or share it with advertisers or data brokers.
- We do not use advertising identifiers or track you across other apps or websites.
- We do not collect location or date of birth.
- We do not keep a copy of your address book or scan your photo library.
- We do not copy your content, contacts, name, phone number, or media links into EAS Observe.
- We do not use recordings to train machine learning models.
- There are no follower counts, public feed, or recommendation algorithm.
Services that help run Cozy Campfire
- Supabase provides the database, sign-in system, and file storage. It handles account details, connections, conversations, and recordings.
- Twilio Verify receives your phone number to send sign-in codes.
- Expo builds and updates the app and relays generic push notifications. Its EAS Observe service also holds technical data sent by earlier app versions, as described above.
- Apple distributes the app and delivers notifications to your phone.
- Resend sends moderation alerts to our private support mailbox. It receives the report information described above, but not the media file.
- Email services store support correspondence and attachments so we can respond.
- Anthropic helps sort and summarize support requests, recommend next steps, and prepare draft replies. It receives email headers and sanitized message text, not attachments.
These services may keep ordinary service and security logs under their own retention policies. We may also disclose information when required by a valid legal order, and will tell you unless the order forbids it.
How long we keep information
- Your account, content, and account-linked usage records remain while your account exists, unless you delete a conversation sooner.
- A conversation you started is deleted if nobody has answered and you delete it. Otherwise, leaving or deleting it removes you while preserving the conversation for the other people in it.
- Pending invitations remain until the person joins or the invitation is cancelled.
- Signing out deletes the push tokens for that phone.
- EAS Observe data already sent is not deleted when you delete your account. Expo says it keeps metric data for at least 60 days, and does not state a maximum.
- Moderation reports and alerts have no automatic expiry.
Deleting your account
You can delete your account in Settings by typing DELETE. The app first erases your stored photo, video, audio, and preview files. It will not finalize your account while a known file remains. If a step fails, your account stays so you can retry. Files already deleted cannot be restored.
Deletion removes your sign-in and profile, phone number, recordings, follow-ups, connections, account activity, notification records, and invitations. Existing app sessions can no longer reach the account.
Deletion also removes every question set and prior question version our records link to you, including public, private, sent, and unsent versions. If a conversation must remain for another person, your recordings and follow-ups are removed and a question linked to you becomes “Question removed by its author.” The other person's content stays. A question supplied by Cozy Campfire or written by someone else also stays.
Some information can remain: older question copies that do not identify their author, shared conversations and other people's content, moderation reports and alerts, EAS Observe data, and routine service logs. Downloaded or cached copies can remain until that device or cache clears them. Temporary upload fragments that never reached the app's file list follow the storage provider's retention practices.
Data successfully removed from Cozy Campfire cannot be recovered through the app.
If you cannot use the app to delete your account, email support@infinitegamer.me and tell us the phone number on the account.
Your choices
- Usage sharing. Turn off “Share how I use the app” in Settings to exclude your account from optional usage reports. Conversations and notifications still work.
- Camera and microphone. Turn either permission off in iOS to stop the app from using it. You will not be able to record an answer with that feature off.
- Contacts. Turn this permission off to stop the app from reading contacts or opening its contact list. Existing conversations do not change.
- Notifications. Turn them off to stop push notifications. Signing out also deletes the push tokens for that phone.
Turning off usage sharing does not erase previously stored records or reports. Deleting your account removes the account data described above, subject to the listed exceptions.
Children
Cozy Campfire is not for children under 13, is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 13. Signing up requires a mobile phone number. If you believe a child under 13 has an account, email support@infinitegamer.me and we will delete the account and its recordings.
Security
Database permissions limit recordings to people in the same conversation who have answered. Traffic between the app and server is encrypted. No system is completely secure. If we learn that your information was exposed, we will tell you directly and quickly.
Changes to this page
If we change what the app collects or who handles it, we will update this page and the date at the top. If the change affects you in a meaningful way, we will also tell you in the app or by text before it takes effect.
