We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

Your profile link: When you share your Perch link, anyone with that link can view the information on your profile. You control what information you include and who you share the link with.

Service providers: We use Supabase to store your data and handle authentication, and Resend to send transactional emails. These providers process data on our behalf and are bound by confidentiality obligations.

Legal requirements: We may disclose information when required by law, court order, or governmental authority.

Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, user information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

Perch uses session cookies to keep you logged in. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies. Disabling cookies may prevent login from working correctly.

Perch is not intended for anyone under 18. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us at hello@tryperch.app and we will delete it promptly.

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected in the “Last updated” date above. Continued use of Perch after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
