Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 25, 2026
Bobble ("we") makes an iPhone app that turns a selfie into a bobblehead and lets friends send each other quick reactions ("bobbles"). This policy explains what we collect and why.
What we collect
- Account: an identifier from Sign in with Apple or Google, and the name and @username you choose.
- Your selfie: sent once to create your Bobble. It is processed by our AI provider to generate your avatar and is not stored by us after generation.
- Your Bobble avatar: the generated images, stored so your friends can see you.
- Activity inside Bobble: your friends list, the bobbles you send and receive, your status and short notes.
- Device tokens: to deliver notifications and update your Live Activity.
- Usage analytics: which features you use (for example "sent a bobble", "created a Bobble"), linked to your account, to improve the app. Never the content of your notes or your images.
- Waitlist: your email, if you join from this website.
Auto status (location and motion)
If you turn on auto status, Bobble uses your iPhone's location and motion data to guess what you're up to (home, work, the gym, a party, asleep, traveling, driving) so your Bobble can change outfits on its own. This is worked out on your phone: only the resulting status (for example "at the gym") is sent to our servers and shown to your friends. Your location, the places Bobble learns (like home or work) and your motion data never leave your device and are not stored by us. You can pause sharing anytime with Go ghost, and turn auto status off in iPhone Settings → Bobble.
What we don't do
No ads, no tracking across apps or websites, no selling of your data, and we never receive or store your location.
Who sees what
Only people you've accepted as friends see your Bobble, status, notes and the bobbles you send them. People can find you by your @username to send a friend request.
Service providers
We use Supabase (database, storage, authentication), OpenRouter / Google (avatar generation), Amplitude (usage analytics) and Apple Push Notification service. They process data only to provide the service.
Safety
You can block or report anyone from their profile. Blocked people can't find you, add you or bobble you. Reports are anonymous and reviewed by our team. Notes are filtered for offensive words.
Your choices
You can delete your account at any time in the app (Settings → Delete my account). This permanently erases your profile, avatar, friends and bobbles.
Children
Bobble is not intended for children under 13.
