Keep your account secure
You can sign in with an email address and password, with a one-time code sent to your email, with Apple, or with Google.
- Apple or Google is the safer default. There is no password for anyone to guess, and the two-factor protection on that account covers Brosky too.
- If you use a password, make it unique to Brosky. Reused passwords are how most accounts are lost.
- Reset links and sign-in codes last 30 minutes and work once. Requesting a new one kills the old one.
- We will never ask for your password - not by email, not in a message, not from support. Anyone who does is not us.
- Delete an account you are no longer using. A dormant account is a liability.
If you think someone else has access: change your password immediately, then email support@brosky.app. If it is the password itself that is the problem, start at I cannot sign in.
What data we collect
The short version. The Privacy Policy is the complete one.
- Account - email address, date of birth (for the 18+ check), and how you signed in. A password is stored hashed, never in readable form.
- Profile - first name, city if you choose to set one, activities, the times of week that suit you, one line of context, and your photo.
- What you post - sessions, claims and their 140-character notes, messages in your crew threads, Shouts and replies, Handovers, Rope answers.
- Reliability - sessions kept and your streak, from the confirms you and the other man both give.
- Technical - device and app version, push token, IP address for rate limiting and abuse prevention, and crash and error diagnostics.
What we do not collect: your coordinates (see Location below - the optional reading never leaves your phone), your contacts, your last name, your photo library beyond what you upload, or anything from other apps. We store no gender field either: the sign-up selfie is checked for whether a face presents as male and then discarded - we keep the decision, not the photo, and build no face template from it. There is no advertising and no advertising identifier, and we do not sell personal information.
Location - one optional reading, and we keep none of it
Brosky asks for the location permission only when you tap Use my location on a screen where you set or update your city. Your phone takes one coarse reading, works out the city name on the device, and discards the coordinates immediately - they are never sent to us and never stored. We receive only the resulting city and country.
What still does not exist: no background location, no tracking, no location history, no coordinates at rest, no radius, no distance on any profile, no map, and no "men near you". The permission is when in use, and on Android we ask only for approximate location - there is no precise-location permission to grant.
Say no and you can skip the city; the Board still works without one. You can retry later or revoke the permission in your device settings whenever you like.
The only other geography in Brosky is a place label a host writes for his session - "Vake pitch". You can leave your city blank, change it whenever you move, and sessions can have no place attached at all. Your city is a filter you apply, never a gate applied to you.
Fees and billing
Brosky does not currently sell anything. There is no subscription, no premium tier, no paid unlock, and nothing metered. Posting a session, claiming a seat, messaging your crew and everything else described in the guide is free.
If that changes, two things will hold: nothing that already works will be taken away and sold back to you, and any purchase will run through Apple's or Google's billing, managed from your App Store or Google Play account - including refunds and cancellations, which are handled by the store and not by us.
Anyone asking you to pay Brosky by bank transfer, gift card, or any other route is not us. Report it to safety@brosky.app, and report the account in the app.
Delete your account
In the app: Settings › Delete Account. Password accounts enter their app password; Apple- and Google-only accounts confirm with the native dialog.
You get two options. The normal one deactivates the account immediately and permanently erases it after 30 days - within that window you can still get it back. The other erases everything right away, with no way back.
Deletion is at least as easy as signing up, and it is never made harder to find.
