Why Lovycards never saves your answers

A prompt, then a conversation

Lovycards is being built for two people sharing one phone. You read a card, answer each other, and let the conversation go where it goes. There is no account to create, no second phone to pair and no compatibility score at the end.

We want the card to give you a starting point. The useful part is what happens between the two of you after you look up from the screen.

What happens when you type an answer?

Some card formats let you hide a typed answer, make a choice or put a list in order. These interactions stay in the app’s memory for the last ten cards shown in that run. That lets you go back to a recent card and see it as you left it.

They are never written to a database, file, preferences or saved navigation state. Moving the app into the background does not necessarily end its process, so a recent answer can still be there when you return. When the app’s process ends, those answers are lost. Reset progress also clears them.

There is no answer history, export of your answers or cloud backup of your conversations.

What does stay on the phone?

The app remembers the things it needs to work between visits:

• Each deck’s place and which introductory cards you have seen.
• Which deck you picked for free and which free cards have counted today.
• Your card feedback and saved favorites, stored as card ids rather than copied questions.
• The names you optionally enter to label turns, and settings such as theme, sound and haptics.
• The day’s extra question, its opened status and your optional reminder settings.
• Whether Premium is active, based on Google Play’s answer, and limited subscription state used by the app.

These are different from your answers. A favorite remembers which card you saved; it does not save what either of you said about it. No account links this information to another device.

What can leave the phone?

Optional anonymous usage and crash reports. During setup, Lovycards asks whether you want to share these with PostHog. Until you say yes, its analytics library is not started. You can say no or change your choice in Settings. The events can describe app activity, card feedback and favorites, but never an answer, a choice made on a card, a ranking, typed text, a name or a card’s words. Events involving the most suggestive deck omit the card id. Crash reports have their messages removed.

Google Play services. Google Play handles subscriptions, purchases and the review sheet. Its billing library also sends its own diagnostics. The app does not collect your payment details. Store activity is separate from the optional analytics choice.

Sharing you start. The Share control hands a picture of the card and its question to the phone’s share sheet. It never includes your answers, choices, rankings, hints or solutions. You choose the receiving app. Bug reports and feedback likewise open your email app so you can review and send the message yourself.

The privacy policy describes these flows in more detail, including the website’s separate launch list. It is the place to check the full data handling information before launch.

A reminder only if you want one

The daily-question notification is off until you enable it. It is made on the phone, rather than sent by a push service, and its consent is separate from analytics. You can choose an approximate time or turn it off again in Settings.

There are no streaks, relationship scores or recordings. Open a card when it fits your evening. If you want a starting point now, the date-night questions are readable here on the website.
