What Bondie is, and what it does with your child's photos.

What the app does

Bondie sends a photo to a small list of people your child has accepted as friends, and shows the newest one on those friends' home screens. There is no public feed, no recommendations, and no way for a stranger to see anything your child has sent. Anyone who has your child's invite link, or guesses their username, can see their display name and photo. People who have your child's phone number or email address in their contacts, and who choose to look for friends there, can be shown their name and photo as a suggestion. There is no setting to turn this off. If it worries you, email support@bondieapp.com.

Who can see a photo

Only the friends chosen when it was sent. A friendship needs both people to agree: following an invite link raises a request the other person has to accept. Removing a friend stops all future delivery in both directions.

Reporting and blocking

Report: touch and hold the photo, then choose Report. The photo is hidden from your child immediately, and the report is stored for our team to review.

Block: touch and hold a friend's row and choose Block. Settings, then Privacy and safety, then Blocked accounts lists everyone blocked. A blocked person cannot send to your child, cannot ask to connect again, and disappears from their friends list.

Remove a friend: the friends screen, on any row.

Age

Bondie is not for children under 13, and accounts we find to be under that age are removed. If you believe a child under 13 has an account, email support@bondieapp.com and we will delete it and the data attached to it.

What we store

Photos and videos, the account name and email address the sign-in provider gave us, who is friends with whom, and the notification token that lets us wake the app. Bondie shows no adverts inside the app, and nothing is sold. We do buy adverts for Bondie elsewhere. When ad measurement is on, the app sends the ad company we use a scrambled version of their email and name, their country, their phone's advertising ID (where it has one), and when the app is opened, an account is made or Bondie Plus is bought; our subscription provider reports purchases to it too. On iPhone the app asks whether to share this; on other phones it is on from the first start. Your child can turn it off any time in Settings, under App consents. The privacy policy lists it in full.

Deleting everything

Deleting removes the account and everything it owns.

In the app: Open Bondie, tap your photo at the right end of the bottom bar to open your profile, tap the three dots at the top right of your profile, choose Settings, then scroll down to Danger zone and tap Delete account. You will be asked to confirm twice. Your account is hidden at once and removed for good after 30 days. Sign in to the app before then and choose to turn your account back on.

If the app is already uninstalled: Email support@bondieapp.com from the address you signed in with, asking us to delete your Bondie account. We will delete it within 30 days and confirm by reply.
