Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 4, 2026
Quesly is a place to answer one question a day and see how friends and the world answered it. This policy explains what we collect when you use the Quesly app and quesly.me, why we collect it, and the choices you have. In short: we collect only what we need to run Quesly, we never sell your data, and you can delete your account at any time.
What we collect
- Waitlist sign-ups. Your email address, so we can send you a beta invite and launch news.
- Account details. Your email address and password, or the basic account details Apple or Google share with us if you continue with them.
- Public profile. Username and, if you add them, your name, pronouns, profile photo, bio, location and links to your social profiles.
- Private profile details. Your birthday and gender, if you add them. Only you can see these.
- What you do on Quesly. Your answers and who can see each one (World, Friends or Private), Peeks, reposts, reactions, saved answers, follows, reports and blocks.
- Activity needed for features. Streaks, streak freezes, badges, your Memories calendar and your reminder and notification settings.
- Device data. A push-notification token if you allow notifications, plus basic diagnostics (crash reports, app version, device model, OS version) that help us fix bugs.
Permissions on your phone
- Contacts. Used only if you turn on Find contacts, to show which people you know are on Quesly. You can turn it off in Settings.
- Photos. You choose the photo you want to use for your profile, and Quesly saves an image to your library only when you ask it to.
- Notifications. Used for reminders, streak alerts and activity on your answers, only if you allow them.
The location on your profile is text you type yourself. Quesly does not use your device's location. Quesly does not run third-party advertising and does not track you across other apps or websites.
How we use it, and why we're allowed to
- To run Quesly: show today's question, unlock the feed, deliver reactions and notifications, suggest people in Discover, and keep your streak. We need this to provide the service you signed up for.
- To keep the community safe: review reports, enforce our Terms, and prevent spam and abuse. This is in our and our community's legitimate interest.
- To improve the app, using diagnostics and aggregated statistics such as how many people answered a question. This is also a legitimate interest.
- To contact you about your account or important changes, as part of the service. We send waitlist emails, and use your contacts and notifications, only with your consent, which you can withdraw at any time.
Who can see your content
- World. Anyone on Quesly can see the answer. It can also appear in the World feed and in Discover.
- Friends. Only friends can see the answer. A friend is someone you follow who also follows you.
- Private. Only you can see the answer.
You choose the audience for each answer. With a private account, only people you approve can see your answers. You can also turn off Show in Discover in Settings to stop your answers being recommended to people who don't follow you.
Your username and public profile can be seen by other people on Quesly. Reactions are personal: only you can see the reaction counts on your answers and who reacted. Reposts are anonymous too: you see how many times an answer was reposted, never by whom. Your saved answers are visible only to you. Reports are anonymous, and people you block aren't told.
If you share an answer to Instagram, TikTok or anywhere else, that platform's policies apply to what you post there, and deleting the answer on Quesly can't remove copies shared outside it.
Service providers
We use trusted providers to host data, send email and notifications, and collect crash reports. They process data only on our behalf. We share information with authorities only when the law requires it or to protect someone's safety.
Some providers may process data outside your country. Where the law requires it, we use appropriate safeguards for these transfers, such as the European Commission's standard contractual clauses.
The quesly.me website
The website is hosted on Cloudflare, which processes technical data such as your IP address to deliver the site and protect it. Waitlist sign-ups are sent to us through Web3Forms. The status and green-hosting badges in the footer load from UptimeRobot and The Green Web Foundation, which can see your IP address when they load. We don't use analytics or advertising cookies on the website.
How long we keep it
We keep your data while your account exists. When you delete your account in Settings, we delete your profile and answers within 30 days, except where the law requires us to keep something longer. Reports may be kept for as long as we need them to keep the community safe. We keep your waitlist email until you ask us to remove it or we no longer need it for the launch. To leave the waitlist, reply to any of our emails or write to contact@quesly.me.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR or CCPA), you may have the right to access, correct, export or delete your data, to object to or restrict how we process it, and to withdraw consent. To use any of these rights, email contact@quesly.me. You can also complain to your local data protection authority.
Children
Quesly is not intended for children under 13 (or the minimum age in your country). If you think a child has given us their data, please contact us and we'll delete it.
Changes
If we change this policy, we'll update the date above. If the changes are significant, we'll tell you in the app or by email.
