Privacy Policy

Antibully · quitOS LLC · Effective August 25, 2026

Antibully is for people who are being bullied. This policy explains exactly what the app stores, where it goes, who else can see it, and how to delete it. It describes what the software actually does, not what we might do later.

Read this one properly. Antibully is built to reach people on your behalf when you cannot, which means it shares things in situations where our other apps would stay silent. That is the point of it, and you should know how it works before you need it.

The short version. Your trusted contacts' names and phone numbers are stored on our servers, because the app has to be able to reach them when you cannot. Your incidents are stored on our servers too, so they survive a phone being taken or wiped. If what you write shows you are in danger, the app texts your trusted contacts automatically, without asking first, with a fixed message that never includes your own words. We do not sell your data, we do not track your location, and there is no advertising or analytics software in the app.

What we store on our servers

Your account. First name, last name, date of birth, and the email address you sign in with.
Your trusted contacts. The name and phone number of your primary contact and your backup contact. This is covered in its own section below.
Your incidents. What you write or say into the app about what is happening, and any screenshots you save, with a timestamp added by our server.
Your conversations with the app, including the supportive replies it writes back.
Your check-in settings and status. Whether your window is 24 or 48 hours, and when you last confirmed you are okay.
Your subscription and message credits. Whether your subscription is active and how many AI messages you have left. Payment itself is handled entirely by Apple; we never see your card details.

Your trusted contacts are uploaded

When you add a primary contact and a backup contact, their names and phone numbers are stored on our servers. Not on your phone only. On our servers.

We are saying that plainly because it is a real difference from the other quitOS apps, where a partner's number never leaves the device. Here it has to be on the server, because the whole promise of this app is that it can reach those people at the moment you cannot reach them yourself: when you are frozen, when your phone has been taken, when you have gone silent. A number that exists only on a phone you no longer have is a number nobody can call.

If you use the contact picker to choose them, the app reads your address book at that moment and only to show you the list. It saves the two people you pick. Nothing else in your address book is read, kept, or sent.

Texts we send on your behalf

The app sends text messages to your trusted contacts in three situations. All of them are sent through Twilio, a messaging company, which receives the contact's phone number and the message text and nothing else about you.

1. The introduction text

When you add a trusted contact, they get one calm text so they know the number and can save it before anything real ever happens. It says who added them, that they were listed as a contact in Antibully, and that they will only hear from that number if you need help. It does not say anything about your situation.

2. The crisis text

If what you type or say into the app indicates you are in danger, the app texts your trusted contacts automatically, with no confirmation step. You are not asked first. There is no cancel button. It happens because the moment it is built for is the moment someone cannot ask for help.

The message is fixed and always the same: "This person needs you right now, please reach out." It never contains what you wrote. Your words stay yours. Your contact learns that you need them, not what you said.

The text goes to your primary contact first, and to your backup about three minutes later.

3. The check-in release text

Described in the next section.

The check-in safety net

At setup you choose a window: 24 hours or 48 hours. The app asks you on that rhythm whether you are still okay.

If you do not confirm within your window, your saved content is released to your trusted contacts, and they are texted to tell them something is waiting for them in the app. Silence is the trigger. That is the entire design: it exists to close the gap where what happened to you could disappear along with you.

You agree to this at setup, before it can ever fire, and you can see your next check-in time on the home screen whenever you open the app.

Your incidents, and why they live on our servers

What you log is stored on our servers rather than on your phone so that it survives your phone being taken, broken, or wiped. Evidence that only exists on the device someone can take from you is not evidence.

Entries cannot be edited after the fact. Once something is logged, it stays as logged, with the timestamp our server put on it. That is deliberate. A record you could go back and change would be worth nothing to a school, a parent, or anyone else you show it to. It is worth something precisely because it cannot be tidied up later.

Screenshots you save go into private storage that only your account can reach. They are not public, they are not listed anywhere, and no link to them works for anyone else. The exceptions are the ones you choose or agreed to: content you share with a trusted contact, and content released by the check-in safety net.

Your log is private by default

Your everyday log is yours. Trusted contacts do not see it as a matter of course. They see what you share with them, what a crisis event surfaces, and what a missed check-in releases.

Guardians, for users under 18

If you are under 18, a guardian can be linked to your account. A linked guardian can see danger-level events only: the crisis moments. They cannot read your everyday log, your ordinary entries, or your conversations with the app.

The everyday space stays yours. Someone being bullied needs a place to put it down that is not automatically reported to a parent, and taking that away would mean people stop writing anything at all. Adults using the app have no guardian and make every one of these choices for themselves.

What the app never does

It never tracks your location. The app does not read your GPS, at any time, for any reason.
It never listens on its own. There is no always-on microphone. If the app offers voice input, it records only while you hold the button to speak, and never otherwise.
It never reads anything you did not bring to it. Not your text messages, not your calls, not your other apps, not your camera roll. The app sees what you type into it, say into it, or paste into it. That is all it has.
It never contacts the police or any authority. Not automatically, not ever. Escalating to authorities is a decision a human being makes: a trusted person can choose to, with a summary the app prepares for them, and the choice is theirs.

The AI supportive replies

When you log something or talk to the app, your message is sent through our server to OpenAI, which generates the reply that comes back to you. Conversations are not used to train models. Our OpenAI key lives on our server and never inside the app, so nothing you send goes out from your phone directly.

The replies are software, not a person, and they are not a medical or crisis service.

Who else is involved

Supabase hosts our database, our file storage, and sign-in.
OpenAI generates the supportive replies.
Twilio delivers the introduction, crisis, and check-in texts. It receives the contact's phone number and the message text.
Apple processes subscription and credit purchases and tells us whether yours is active.

That is the complete list. There are no advertising networks, no analytics providers, and no data brokers, because the app contains no code that talks to any. We do not track you across other companies' apps or websites, and we do not build advertising profiles.

Deleting your data

You can delete your account and everything attached to it from inside the app: your entries, your screenshots, your conversations, and your trusted contacts' names and numbers, all removed from our servers. It cannot be undone.

One honest limit. Texts we already sent to your trusted contacts are on their phones, and deleting your account does not reach into someone else's phone. Those messages cannot be recalled. This is worth knowing before a crisis text fires, not after.

You can also email us and we will do the deletion for you.

How long we keep things

Your data stays until you delete it. We do not run a scheduled purge, because a record of what happened to you over months is often the thing that finally gets someone to act.

Children

Antibully is for ages 13 and up. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 13. If someone under 13 tries to sign up, the app points them to a parent instead of creating an account, and if we learn we hold data for a child under 13 we will delete it.

Changes

If this policy changes in a way that affects what we collect or who receives it, we will update the date at the top and note the change in the app before it takes effect.
