Our privacy promise
Truename is for people who often have good reasons to be careful about who knows what. So we’re designing it to need as little about you as possible. This is our promise in plain words. A full privacy policy will be added after legal review, before anything launches.
1. You don’t need to give us your real name
You won’t need an account with your legal name to use Truename. Any name you type in the app stays on your device.
2. Your information stays on your device
Your paperwork checklist, reminders, notes and voice practice recordings are designed to be stored on your phone. We don’t upload them to our servers. If you delete the app, that data goes with it.
3. We never infer or reveal your gender
We won’t ask for your gender, try to work it out from what you do in the app, or share it with anyone. What you choose to record is yours.
4. No tracking, no ads, no selling data
No analytics tools, no advertising trackers, no social media pixels and no data brokers. This website doesn’t use cookies or tracking either.
5. If we ever need your email
If you choose to join our updates list once it opens, we’ll only use your email to send Truename news. You’ll be able to unsubscribe at any time, and we won’t share it. Right now the updates form is a preview and doesn’t collect anything.
6. Discreet by default
We’re planning options like a neutral app name and icon, and notifications that don’t show details on your lock screen, so the app is safer to have on a shared or checked phone.
7. We’ll tell you if anything changes
If we ever change how Truename handles information, we’ll say so clearly, in plain words, before it happens.
This page is a draft statement of intent for a product that isn’t live yet. It will be reviewed against the Australian Privacy Principles before launch.
