Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what personal information Sunrise Circle collects, why we collect it, how we use and share it, and the choices you have. Sunrise Circle is operated by Sarah Weisberg (“Sunrise Circle,” “we,” “us”). Questions? Email hello@mysunrisecircle.com.

Not an emergency service. Sunrise Circle is a friendly companion check-in service — not an emergency, medical, or caregiving service. In an emergency, call 911 or your local emergency number.

1. Information we collect

We collect only what we need to run a safe, friendly daily check-in:

DataWhy
Your nameTo introduce you to your daily check-in partner. Other members see only your first name and last initial — never your full name or contact details.
Your email addressTo verify your account with a one-time code and to contact you about your check-ins.
Your phone numberPart of your account profile. It is stored securely and is never shown to other members.
Preferences — time zone, preferred call time, quiet hours, away datesSo your check-ins arrive at a good time for you and never in the middle of the night.
Trusted contact (optional) — their name, phone and/or email, relationshipOnly if you choose to add one. If you miss several daily check-ins in a row, we may notify this person so they can check on you.
Check-in activity — who you were matched with, and whether a call or message happenedTo run the matching, avoid repeating partners, and support the escalation feature.
Messages you send in the appTo deliver them to your check-in partner.
Notification tokenTo send you reminders and alerts (e.g. “your morning check-in is ready”).
Consent recordsTo record that you agreed to our Terms, this Policy, and the “not an emergency service” notice.

2. How calls and messages work (your number stays private)

Calls between members happen as internet (voice) calls inside the app — not through the phone network — using our real-time calling provider. Messages are delivered through the app. Because of this, you never see another member’s phone number, and they never see yours.

3. How we use your information

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for advertising.

4. Who we share it with

We share only what’s needed with trusted service providers who process data on our behalf, under confidentiality obligations:

With other members, we share only your first name and last initial. We may disclose information if required by law or to protect someone’s safety.

5. How long we keep it

We keep your information for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we delete your personal information within a reasonable period, except where we must keep limited records to comply with the law.

6. Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights (for example under U.S. state privacy laws or the GDPR). Contact us to exercise them.

7. Security

We use industry-standard measures to protect your information, including encrypted connections and access controls. Verification codes are stored only in hashed form. No system is perfectly secure, but we work hard to keep your data safe.

8. Children

Sunrise Circle is intended for adults. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information.

9. Changes

We may update this Policy from time to time. We’ll post the new version here and update the date above; significant changes will be communicated in the app.
