Flowy

Privacy Policy

Last updated September 3, 2026

Flowy is a personal inbox: you share things to it, and it reads them so you can find them later. That means Flowy holds content you chose to save. This page explains exactly what it holds, which companies process it on our behalf, and how to destroy it.

Who we are

Flowy is operated by Calcura Software, LLC. You can reach us at [email protected].

What we collect

Account information. An email address, and an identifier from Apple or Google if you sign in with them. If you use Sign in with Apple with “Hide My Email”, we only ever receive Apple’s private relay address, not your real one.

Content you save. Whatever you share to Flowy: links, screenshots, photos, videos, PDFs, other files, and emails you forward to your Flowy address. We also store what we derive from it — titles, summaries, tags, categories, transcripts, and text recognised in images — along with any notes or tags you add yourself.

Preferences and delivery. Your daily digest settings, your Flowy email alias, and, on mobile, a device push token so we can tell you when something you saved has finished processing.

We do not use advertising trackers, we do not sell personal information, and we do not use your content to train AI models.

Who processes it

Flowy cannot do its job without sending your content to a few processors. Each one receives only what it needs:

  • Anthropic — the text, images, and transcripts of what you save are sent to Claude to produce titles, summaries, tags, and to answer your questions in chat.
  • OpenAI — extracted text is sent to generate embeddings (numeric representations) so search can find things by meaning.
  • SocialVault — when you save a link from Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, or Facebook, the link is sent to fetch the post’s publicly available media and captions.
  • Cloudflare — files you upload are stored in Cloudflare R2.
  • Railway — hosts the application and the database.
  • Expo — delivers push notifications to your device.

Our shared cache

When you save a public web page, Flowy keeps the text it extracted — the title, summary, tags, and article text — in a shared cache keyed by the page’s address. If someone else later saves the same public page, they get that text instead of us fetching and analysing it again. This makes Flowy faster and cheaper.

This cache holds only text derived from publicly reachable pages. It never contains your files, your notes, your tags, or anything identifying you, and files you upload are never shared with another account.

How long we keep it

We keep your content until you delete it. Deleting an item removes it from your library. Deleting your account destroys the account and everything attached to it.

Deleting your account

You can delete your account from Settings, in the web app and in the iOS app. Deletion is immediate and cannot be undone.

When you delete your account, we destroy:

  • your account record, email address, and sign-in identifiers;
  • every item you saved, with its summaries, tags, notes, and transcripts;
  • every file you uploaded, from our file storage;
  • your search embeddings, digests, and push token.

If you signed in with Apple, we also tell Apple to revoke Flowy’s access to your Apple Account.

Text already contributed to the shared cache described above stays, because it is derived from public pages and is not linked to you after your account is gone.

Your rights

You can access and correct your information in the app, and delete it at any time. If you want a copy of your data or have a request we can’t action in the app, email us and we will respond.

Children

Flowy is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data.

Changes

If we change this policy in a way that materially affects you, we will update the date at the top and notify you in the app.
