Friends don't spy on each other. Here is exactly how we protect your privacy.
We only collect what you share. No background tracking, no location data.
Use Quick Help without logging in. Get instant relief without giving up your identity.
We track stress trends, not medical diagnoses. We are a logical friend, not a hospital.
Colleges only see anonymous, group-level trends. Your personal identity is never shared.
We collect only the data you voluntarily provide, such as your name, email, and messages you share. We also use anonymized usage analytics to improve Friendly's performance and features.
Your data helps us personalize your experience, monitor stress trends, and improve the platform. We never use your information for advertising or third-party profiling.
We do not sell your personal data. Any sharing is strictly anonymized and aggregated, for example when colleges view group-level trends. Third-party services we use (like hosting and analytics) are carefully selected and compliant with privacy standards.
All user data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Our servers are protected by industry-standard security protocols. You also have full control to delete your data anytime.
Total User Control. You own your history.
