Listly Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 1, 2026

Listly lets you rank your all-time favorites, share them with friends, and explore your area. This policy says what Listly collects, why, who else sees it, and how to delete it.

Your account

Listly needs an account. When you sign up, Listly stores these on its servers (hosted by Supabase, in the United States):

• Account: your email address, or your Apple ID's private relay email if you use Sign in with Apple. Used to sign you in. Never shown to other people.
• Profile: your username and profile picture. Public to other Listly users.
• Your lists: the lists you make and the order you ranked them, saved to your account so they're there on any phone. Lists you submit are public unless you choose Private before or after posting. Private lists and lists you haven't submitted are only visible to you.
• Social activity: who you follow, thumbs up and down, comments, likes and dislikes on comments, and reports you file. Public, except reports.
• Takes: takes you post, your Agree or Disagree votes, comments on takes and likes on them. Takes, comments and vote totals are public; who voted which way is visible to other users. Listly also counts which takes you've seen, to work out what's trending; that count is never shown with your name.
• Direct messages: messages you send and receive. Only you and the other person can read them.
• Location (optional): Listly asks once. Only if you say yes (or turn on "Share my location with friends" in Settings) does it save your city and state, never your exact location. They're used to compare your lists with people near you and are never shown on your profile. Turn it off anytime in Settings and both are removed from the server. Without it, everything works; you pick your state for Local by hand and it stays on your phone.
• Notifications (optional): if you allow notifications, a push token for your phone and which kinds you want (Settings → Notifications). The streak reminder is scheduled on your phone and sends nothing to Listly.
• Photos (optional): a profile picture you upload. Public. When you tap Save image (or share to TikTok), Listly adds that one image of your list to your photo library. It never reads your library.
• Sharing to other apps (optional): when you share a list to Instagram Stories, TikTok, Messages or anywhere else, the image you see and a link to your post go to the app you pick. What happens there is covered by that app's policy.

Listly uses this to run the app: showing your profile and lists, your friends' activity, notifications, comparing your rankings with others, recommendations, people with taste similar to yours, trending takes, and badges. Comparisons with your city, state and the U.S. use other people's public lists, plus Listly starter lists (sample lists made by Listly) until enough people near you post.

Outside services

• Supabase stores the account data above.
• Apple Music (iTunes Search API): song and artist names are sent to Apple to find artwork and 30-second previews.
• KLIPY: item names are sent to KLIPY to find GIFs.
• Apple location services: only when you use "Use my location" or turn on location sharing.
• Expo push service: delivers notifications to your phone. It receives your push token and the notification text (for example "@sam posted a new list"), nothing else.

None of these receive your email, password or messages. Listly has no ads, does not track you across other apps or websites, and does not sell or share personal data.

Your choices

• Delete your account: Settings → Account → Delete my account. Your profile, lists, takes, comments, votes, messages, follows and thumbs are deleted. Reports you filed may be kept without your name so we can act on them.
• Delete a list: open it and delete it. It's removed from your account and from everyone's feeds.
• Log out: Settings → Account → Log out. Your lists stay in your account; this phone is cleared.
• Block or report: on any profile, list, take, comment or message.

Children

Listly is not for children under 13 and does not knowingly collect their information. If you believe a child under 13 has an account, contact us and we will delete it.

Changes

If this policy changes in a way that matters, the app will tell you before the change applies.
