Velly Live Soft daily check-ins
Privacy - Velly Live

Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2026

Velly Live is a calm, private-by-default space for small daily check-ins — a short note about how you're doing, a gentle 10-second video when the app checks in on you, and a quiet journal that's just for you. There is no account to create, and your notes, moments and check-in videos are stored on your device. This policy explains the little information we handle, how we keep the community safe, and the controls you have.

1. Introduction

Velly Live ("Velly Live", "the App", "we", "our") is a gentle, wellbeing-minded social app for sharing small, honest moments and reflecting on how you feel. You can post short moments, keep private notes, and capture a brief video when the app gently "checks in" on you. You decide what stays private and what, if anything, you share with others.

We are committed to protecting your privacy and keeping Velly Live a safe, welcoming place. This policy describes the information we process, why we process it, and how you stay in control of it.

2. On-Device by Design

Velly Live is built to be private by default:

  • No account: you don't sign up, and we don't ask for your email, phone number, or password to use the App.
  • Your content stays on your device: your notes, moments, check-in videos, profile, moods, likes, follows, and your report/block/hide choices are stored locally on your device.
  • Nothing is shared unless you choose to: notes are always private. A moment or a check-in video leaves your device only if you explicitly choose to share it publicly.
Private by default Stored on your device No account needed

3. Information We Process

We process only what is needed to run the App and keep it safe:

  • Profile information: a display name you choose, an optional avatar photo or emoji, and a short bio. This lives on your device.
  • Your content: the moments, private notes, and check-in videos you create, along with the moods you tag — stored locally on your device.
  • Content you choose to share: if you mark a check-in or moment as public, that content and your display name may become visible to others in the community.
  • Safety information: the reports, blocks, and "hide" choices you make, used to keep your experience and the community safe.
  • Device & technical data: device type, operating system version, app version, and identifiers used for analytics, attribution, and security.
  • Approximate usage data: anonymous, aggregated metrics that help us understand which features are used and fix problems.

4. How We Use Information

We use the information above to:

  • Run the core experience — your Moments feed, check-in recordings, private Notes, and Discover.
  • Show content you have chosen to share, and let you like and follow within the community.
  • Keep Velly Live safe — acting on reports, blocks, hidden items, spam, and abuse.
  • Maintain, troubleshoot, and improve the App.
  • Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service.

We do not sell your personal information.

5. Safety & Moderation

Velly Live is meant to be a soft, kind place. To protect everyone:

  • Report: you can report any shared check-in or moment. Reporting hides the content from you right away.
  • Block: you can block anyone at any time; once blocked, their content is hidden from you everywhere in the App.
  • Hide: you can hide an individual video you'd rather not see, without reporting or blocking.
  • Zero tolerance: harassment, hate, nudity, sexual solicitation, impersonation, and any content involving minors are strictly prohibited.

Where content is shared publicly, we may review reports to keep the community healthy and act on violations of our guidelines.

6. Camera, Microphone & Photos

Some features ask for device permissions. They are optional and used only for the stated purpose:

  • Camera: to record your short check-in videos using the front camera.
  • Microphone: to capture sound for those check-in videos.
  • Photo Library: to add a photo to a moment, or to choose a profile picture from your gallery.

You can grant or revoke any of these at any time in your device Settings. Denying a permission simply disables the related feature; the rest of the App keeps working.

7. Notifications

With your permission, Velly Live sends gentle, randomly-timed "check-in" reminders — a soft nudge to pause and record a moment for yourself. We use a device push token to deliver these. You can turn the check-ins off inside the App, or disable notifications entirely in your device Settings.

8. Analytics & Attribution

We use a small number of trusted service providers to operate the App:

  • Analytics & messaging (Google Firebase): to deliver notifications, measure app stability, and understand aggregate, non-identifying usage.
  • Attribution (Adjust): to understand, in aggregate, how people discover Velly Live, using mobile measurement identifiers.

These providers process data on our behalf under their own privacy and security commitments. Where required, we ask for your permission (for example, App Tracking Transparency) before using advertising identifiers.

9. Data Retention & Deletion

Because your content lives on your device, you stay in control of it:

  • Delete anything, anytime: remove a moment, note, or check-in video from within the App whenever you like.
  • Remove the App: deleting Velly Live from your device removes the content stored locally.
  • Shared content: if you previously shared something publicly, deleting it removes it from the community view.

Limited safety records may be retained where necessary to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce our policies (for example, to keep a removed user from returning).

10. Your Choices & Rights

  • Edit your profile: update your name, avatar, and bio anytime in the You tab.
  • Choose public or private: every check-in lets you keep it for yourself or share it.
  • Manage permissions: change camera, microphone, photo, and notification access in device Settings.
  • Report, block or hide: use the built-in tools whenever you feel unsafe or see a violation.
  • Access & requests: depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete your data — contact us and we will help.

11. Children's Privacy

Velly Live is intended for adults and is not directed to children. You must be at least 17 years old (or the age of digital consent or majority required in your jurisdiction, whichever is greater) to use the App. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under this age. If you believe a minor is using Velly Live, please contact us so we can take action.

12. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as the App evolves or to meet legal requirements. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date above. Significant changes will be communicated in the App where appropriate.
