The short, plain-English version.

Last updated: April 2026

We don't share your data with third parties.

No selling, no renting, no "data partnerships." Whatever you put into a Highwater app stays with that app and the people you've explicitly chosen to share it with.

We collect the minimum to run the app.

Usually that means an email address so you can sign in, and whatever content you create inside the app itself. We don't load third-party trackers, advertising pixels, or social-media widgets that phone home.

Analytics are aggregate and self-hosted.

We count things like "how many people opened the homepage today" so we know whether anything is on fire. We don't build profiles, we don't follow you around the web.

You can leave whenever, and take your stuff.

Every app has an export button and a delete-my-account button. Deleted accounts are permanently removed from our active systems within 30 days, and from backups within 90.
