Privacy Policy for Tend
Effective Date: April 27, 2026
Last Updated: April 27, 2026
1. Introduction
Tend is a personal relationship management app developed and operated by Parla Enterprises LLC, doing business as Parla Digital Solutions ("we," "our," or "us"). Tend helps you stay intentionally connected with the people who matter most.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use the Tend mobile application. By using Tend, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Information You Provide Directly
Contact data: Names, phone numbers, email addresses, birthdays, notes, conversation logs, and any other information you choose to save about your personal contacts
Profile information: How you met someone, relationship type, communication preferences, and personal notes you add
2.2 Information Collected Automatically
Purchase status: A local record of whether you have purchased Tend Pro, stored only on your device
2.3 Information We Do NOT Collect
We do not require or collect any account information (no email, no password, no sign-in)
We do not access your device's native contacts without your explicit permission
We do not collect location data
We do not collect analytics or behavioral tracking data
We do not serve ads or share data with advertisers
We do not collect biometric data (Face ID / fingerprint authentication is handled entirely by your device's operating system)
3. How We Use Your Information
We use your information solely to:
Provide and maintain the Tend app and its features on your device
Send push notifications for birthdays and follow-up reminders you configure
Process in-app purchases through Google Play
Respond to support requests
4. Data Storage and Security
4.1 Local Storage Only
All data — your contacts, notes, and purchase status — is stored entirely on your device. Nothing is uploaded to any server. Uninstalling the app permanently removes all your data.
4.2 Device Protection
The app is protected by your device's biometric authentication (Face ID or fingerprint) or PIN. We never see or store your biometric data.
4.3 In-App Purchases
Purchases are processed directly by Google Play. We store only a local flag on your device confirming your purchase. We never handle or store payment information.
5. Third-Party Services
Tend uses the following third-party services:
Google Play Billing - In-app purchase processing (policies.google.com/privacy)
Your contact data is never shared with any third-party service.
6. Push Notifications
Tend may send push notifications to remind you of:
Upcoming birthdays of your contacts
Follow-up reminders you set when logging conversations
You can disable notifications at any time in your device Settings. All notifications are scheduled locally on your device — no data is sent to any server to deliver them.
7. Data Retention and Deletion
All data lives on your device and is under your full control at all times
You can export all your data at any time from Settings → Export backup
To permanently delete all data, uninstall the app
8. Children's Privacy
Tend is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately.
9. Your Rights
Because Tend stores all data locally on your device and collects no personal information on our servers, you have full and direct control over your data at all times. You can view, edit, export, or delete your data directly within the app.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
11. GDPR — Additional Rights for European Users
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or Switzerland, the following additional provisions apply.
11.1 Data Controller
Parla Enterprises LLC, DBA Parla Digital Solutions
Email: support@parladigitalsolutions.com
11.2 Legal Basis for Processing
Because all data is stored locally on your device and we receive none of it, we act as a data processor only in the limited context of push notifications and purchase processing.
Sending birthday and follow-up notifications | Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) — you configured these reminders
Processing in-app purchases | Contract performance (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR)
11.3 Your Rights Under GDPR
Right of Access (Art. 15): All your data is on your device. Use Settings → Export backup for an immediate export in JSON or CSV format.
Right to Rectification (Art. 16): Edit any data directly within the app at any time.
Right to Erasure (Art. 17): Delete individual contacts within the app, or uninstall the app to remove all data permanently.
Right to Data Portability (Art. 20): Export your data as JSON or CSV from Settings → Data.
Because we hold no personal data on our servers, most GDPR data subject requests can be fulfilled directly by you within the app without contacting us.
11.4 International Data Transfers
Tend does not transfer your personal contact data internationally — it remains on your device at all times. Push notification delivery and Google Play purchase processing are subject to their own data transfer frameworks (Google LLC participates in the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework).
11.5 Right to Lodge a Complaint
If you believe we have processed your personal data unlawfully, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. A list of EEA supervisory authorities is available at: ec.europa.eu/justice/article-29/structure/data-protection-authorities
