Privacy Policy

VandrMen

Effective: April 2026

Applies globally. Additional rights for users in the US, EU, UK, Canada & Australia.

1. Who We Are

VandrMen (“we”, “us”, “our”) operates the VandrMen mobile application and website — a platform designed to help men break free from pornography. VandrMen is available worldwide. This Privacy Policy applies to all users regardless of where they are located.

Certain sections below set out additional rights for users in specific regions (United States, European Union, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia). If your country has its own privacy laws not covered here, we apply the same principles of transparency, minimal data collection, and user control as a baseline.

Contact: privacy@vandrmen.com

2. Age Requirement

VandrMen is for users aged 16 and over. By creating an account, you confirm you are at least 16 years old. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 16. If we discover an account belongs to a user under 16, we will delete it and all associated data immediately.

3. What We Collect

We collect the minimum data necessary to run the app:

Account information: name, email address, and encrypted password.
Usage data: streaks, check-ins, goals, and in-app progress you record.
Device information: device type, operating system, and app version.
Payment data: subscription status only. Payment details are processed entirely by Apple App Store or Google Play — we never receive or store your card or banking information.
Course progress data: your progress through VandrMen’s educational courses — including which modules you have started, completed, and engaged with — is recorded and linked to your account.
Vandr AI chat conversations: the messages you send to the in-app Vandr AI are stored on our servers and linked to your account. These conversations may be reviewed by VandrMen for the purpose of improving the AI.
Anonymised analytics: aggregate, non-identifiable data on how features are used, for the purpose of improving the app.

We do not collect your location, contacts, camera, or microphone data.

4. How We Use Your Data

We use your data to:

Create and manage your account.
Deliver the core features of the app (progress tracking, streaks, community support).
Track and deliver educational course content and record your progress through modules.
Send in-app notifications and email updates you have opted into.
Improve the app using anonymised, aggregated usage data.
Improve the Vandr AI using stored chat conversations linked to your account.
Respond to support requests.
Comply with our legal obligations.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party, for any purpose, ever.

5. Lawful Basis for Processing

For users in the EU, UK, Canada, and Australia, we process your personal data on the following lawful bases:

Contract: to provide the service you signed up for.
Legitimate interests: to improve the app, prevent fraud, and ensure security — where this does not override your privacy rights.
Consent: for marketing communications. You can withdraw consent at any time.
Legal obligation: where required by applicable law.

For US users, we rely on the same framework to the extent required by state law.

6. Sensitive Data

VandrMen relates to personal behavioural habits connected to pornography use. We recognise that by virtue of using this app, users may be implicitly disclosing information of a personal and sensitive nature. Even where no explicit data about a user’s sexual behaviour is collected, the nature of the platform means we treat all user data with the highest level of care and protection.

Under certain privacy frameworks — including the EU and UK GDPR — data that may reveal information about a person’s sexual behaviour or habits can be classified as a special category requiring additional protections. Regardless of how this data is legally classified in your jurisdiction, we apply the same high standard of protection to all VandrMen user data as a matter of principle.

Your in-app activity is private to you and is never shared with other users or third parties without your explicit consent. We do not use your data to produce health or psychological diagnoses. We do not share individual usage data in any way that could identify you.

Vandr AI chat conversations may contain sensitive personal disclosures. These are stored securely on our servers, accessible only to authorised VandrMen personnel, and used solely to improve the Vandr AI. They are never shared with third parties. By using the Vandr AI chat feature, you consent to your conversations being stored and reviewed for this purpose. You may request deletion of your conversation history at any time by contacting privacy@vandrmen.com.

7. Data Storage & Security

Your data is stored on secure, industry-standard servers. We use TLS encryption in transit and AES-256 encryption at rest. Access to personal data is restricted to authorised personnel only.

In the event of a data breach that poses a risk to your rights, we will notify affected users and relevant authorities as required by applicable law (within 72 hours where required).

8. Third-Party Services

We use trusted third-party providers to operate the app. These may include:

Cloud infrastructure providers (for secure data storage and hosting).
Anonymised crash reporting and analytics tools.
Email delivery services (for account-related communications).
RevenueCat: we use RevenueCat to manage subscription entitlements and billing logic. RevenueCat receives user identifiers, purchase history, and subscription status. RevenueCat does not receive your full payment details. For more information, see revenuecat.com/privacy.
OpenAI: Vandr Chat is powered by the OpenAI API. When you send a message in Vandr Chat, it is transmitted to OpenAI for processing. OpenAI’s handling of data sent via its API is subject to OpenAI’s own privacy policy (openai.com/privacy). We recommend reviewing it if you have concerns about how your messages are handled by OpenAI. Conversations are stored on VandrMen’s servers, not OpenAI’s.
Vandr AI: the Vandr Chat interface is built and operated by Vandr AI, which facilitates the connection to the OpenAI API. Conversations are processed by Vandr AI and OpenAI but stored exclusively on VandrMen’s servers.

All providers are contractually required to handle data securely and in accordance with applicable privacy law. We do not allow third parties to use your data for their own marketing purposes.

9. International Data Transfers

VandrMen operates globally. Your data may be processed in countries outside your own, including the United States. Where data is transferred internationally, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place — such as standard contractual clauses or equivalent protections recognised under applicable law — to protect your personal information.

10. Your Rights

Regardless of where you live, you can:

Access the personal data we hold about you.
Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
Request deletion of your account and personal data.
Opt out of marketing communications at any time via the unsubscribe link in any email or in-app settings.

To exercise any of these rights, email privacy@vandrmen.com. We will respond within 30 days (or sooner where legally required).

11. US Residents — California & State Privacy Rights

California (CCPA / CPRA)

California residents have the following additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA):

Right to Know: you may request details of the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you, and how it is used and shared.
Right to Delete: you may request that we delete your personal information, subject to limited exceptions.
Right to Correct: you may request that we correct inaccurate personal information.
Right to Opt-Out of Sale or Sharing: we do not sell or share your personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising. No opt-out action is required, but you may contact us to confirm.
Right to Non-Discrimination: we will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights.
Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information: under the CPRA, data relating to a consumer’s sex life or sexual behaviour qualifies as sensitive personal information. Given the nature of VandrMen, some data we hold may fall into this category. You have the right to direct us to limit the use of your sensitive personal information to what is necessary to provide the service. To exercise this right, email privacy@vandrmen.com with the subject line “Limit Sensitive Data”.

To submit a verifiable request, email privacy@vandrmen.com with the subject line “CCPA Request”. We will respond within 45 days.

Other US States

Residents of Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Texas, and other states with enacted privacy laws have equivalent rights to access, correct, delete, and opt out of data processing. Contact us at privacy@vandrmen.com to submit a request. We honour these rights regardless of your state of residence.

12. EU Residents — GDPR

If you are based in the European Union or European Economic Area, your data is processed in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (Regulation 2016/679).

Withdraw consent: where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

We do not make automated decisions (including profiling) that produce legal or similarly significant effects about you.

For data transfers from the EU to other countries, we rely on the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses (SCCs) or other approved transfer mechanisms to ensure your data remains protected.

You have the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection authority (DPA) in your EU member state. A list of EU DPAs is available at edpb.europa.eu.

Data portability: receive your personal data in a structured, machine-readable format.
Restriction of processing: request that we limit how we use your data in certain circumstances.

15. Australian Residents — Privacy Act 1988

16. Data Retention

We keep your personal data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will delete your personal data within 30 days, unless retention is required by law (for example, financial records required for tax compliance).

Anonymised, aggregated analytics data may be retained indefinitely as it cannot be linked back to you.

17. Cookies & Tracking

The VandrMen app does not use advertising cookies or cross-site tracking. Our website may use essential cookies required for basic functionality. We do not use behavioural advertising or tracking pixels. We do not participate in data broker networks.

Do Not Track: some browsers transmit “Do Not Track” signals to websites. Because there is no industry-wide standard for responding to these signals, VandrMen does not currently alter its data practices in response to Do Not Track requests. However, we do not engage in the cross-site tracking that such signals are designed to prevent.

18. Governing Law

This Privacy Policy is governed by the laws of Victoria, Australia, where VandrMen is headquartered. However, nothing in this clause limits the rights you are entitled to under the privacy laws of your own country or state. Users in the EU, UK, Canada, and the United States retain all rights granted to them under their respective local laws regardless of this governing law clause.

19. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes via in-app notification or email at least 14 days before changes take effect. Continued use of VandrMen after that date constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

The current version is always available at vandrmen.com/privacy.
