Greenlight: Around to talk · Effective November 15, 2026

Greenlight lets you tell the people you choose that you're free to talk, so they can call you. It's made by Antonio Docal ("we"). This policy explains what the app collects and why. Questions: hello@aroundtotalk.com.

What we collect

• Your account. Your phone number, used to sign you in with a texted code, and the first name you choose.
• Your contacts, only with your permission. Greenlight reads names and phone numbers from your iPhone's contacts to show them in the app. To check which contacts already use Greenlight, numbers are turned into one-way codes (hashes) on your iPhone before anything is sent. We don't receive your address book; your contacts stay on your phone unless you add someone to a group.
• People in your groups. When you add someone to a group, including Favorites, we store the name you see for them and their phone number, encrypted, so we can tell them when you go green.
• Your green lights. When you go green we store how long, the optional note you add, who was told and whether the message was delivered.
• Calls. For calls made in Greenlight we store who called whom and when, and use it to show when you last spoke. Call audio is carried live and is not recorded. When you start a regular phone call from Greenlight, we record that you started it.
• Device tokens. Notification tokens so we can deliver pings and incoming calls.

How we use it

Only to run Greenlight: signing you in, telling your people when you're free, connecting calls and sending notifications. We don't show ads, sell your information or track you across other apps and websites.

Texts to people who don't use Greenlight

When you go green, people in your chosen groups who aren't on Greenlight get a text with your first name, your phone number and your note. They can reply STOP to stop receiving them, and we keep a list of opted-out numbers so we can honor that.

Who we share it with

Service providers that run parts of the app, only for that purpose:

• Supabase: database, sign-in and servers (United States).
• Textbelt: sending sign-in codes and texts.
• LiveKit: carrying call audio in real time.
• Apple: push notifications and incoming-call alerts.

We may also disclose information if the law requires it.

Keeping and deleting your data

We keep your information while you have an account. You can delete your account any time in the app under You → Delete account. That removes your profile, groups, green lights and call history. Encrypted phone numbers are stored once and used to deliver texts for anyone who adds that number, so they may remain; the opt-out list is kept so people who said STOP keep not hearing from us. Texts that were already sent can't be recalled.

Security

Data is encrypted in transit, and phone numbers of the people in your groups are encrypted when stored.

Children

Greenlight isn't meant for children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their information.

Changes

If this policy changes, we'll update this page and the date above.
