Privacy policy

What D ARC collects, why, and the choices you have. Effective 13 November 2026.

Information used by D ARC

D ARC uses your sign-in details, which Clerk manages (including your name and email address if you sign in with Google), and the username and display name you choose. It also stores the Arc and goals you pick, the tasks you tick, your Aura, streaks, ranks, battles, community posts, blocks and reports, and any Movement caption, photo or video link you add. It saves your phone's time zone so your day starts at the right time. Your settings and daily history are also kept on your phone for offline use. Your daily story stays only on your phone unless you publish it; a published story is stored and shown like any other post.

How information is used

This information runs sign-in, your profile, tasks, battles, the League, community posts, blocking, reporting and moderation. Reminders are scheduled on your phone. Crash reports contain the error, the app version and the part of the app involved, with personal details removed. D ARC doesn't use advertising and doesn't sell or share personal information for advertising. Google user data received through Google sign-in is used only to create and run your D ARC account.

Service providers and data location

Clerk provides sign-in. Amazon Web Services runs the D ARC server in Australia, and Supabase stores the database and Movement photos in Singapore. Expo delivers app updates. Backups of the database are stored privately with GitHub. These providers may process data in other countries, including the United States.

Retention and account deletion

You can delete your account in the app (Profile > Delete account) or as described on the account deletion page. This removes your profile details, posts, Aura, tasks, Movement photos and sign-in account. Finished battles stay in your opponent's history under the name "Deleted player". Reports about an account are kept for moderation. Backups containing your data are replaced within 14 days. Crash reports are kept for 30 days. Another device can keep an offline copy until the app's storage is cleared.

Your choices and contact

D ARC is for people aged 13 and over. You can change your profile, block members, turn reminders off and delete your account at any time. For privacy questions or requests, email support@thedarcapp.com. D ARC is operated by its founder, based in India.
