Affelion Pop
This section covers Affelion Pop by Affelion LLC, including iOS version 1.2 and the planned Android version. Their differences are described below.
Feelings, thoughts and temporary session data
Pop uses the feeling or thought you enter to display the activity on your device. It does not send those words to a server, keep a journal or history of your entries, or write them to persistent app storage.
Words can remain in temporary app memory during a session, including when you choose Rename or briefly leave and return to the app. Switching screens or putting the app in the background should not be treated as erasing your words.
In the Android version, returning to the app's Home screen, completing the popping activity, or choosing Done clears the words from the app's session state and screens. In iOS version 1.2, text can remain in temporary app state after changing screens. The app does not intentionally restore entered words after its process restarts. Your operating system, keyboard and accessibility services have their own settings and privacy practices.
Accounts, advertising and device access
Pop does not require an account and does not include advertising or analytics SDKs. Its activity does not request your name, email address, contacts, photos, camera, microphone or location. Sounds are generated on the device, and supported devices can provide vibration feedback. These features do not record audio or collect what you say.
Fonts and network requests
The Android version includes its fonts and activity assets in the app and can run the activity offline.
iOS version 1.2 requests font styles and files from Fontshare and its font delivery service. These requests send ordinary technical information needed for a network request, such as an IP address and request headers, to that service. The words you enter in Pop are not included in these requests. We do not claim that the font provider keeps no network logs.
External links and support
If you choose to open a link outside Pop, your device makes a request to that website. Pop does not add your entered feeling or thought to those links. Website visits and support email are separate from the app's local activity.
If you email hello@affelion.com, we receive your email address and the information you choose to include so that we can respond. To ask about support correspondence, or to request access to or deletion of information you sent by email, contact hello@affelion.com. There is no Pop account or app-maintained entry history to delete.
Children
Pop is intended for teens aged 13–17 and offers the same local activity without accounts or advertising. It does not ask for a date of birth. The iOS font requests, website visits and voluntary support email described above are separate from the words used in the activity.
Not medical care
Pop is a simple activity, not medical advice, diagnosis or treatment, and not a substitute for professional care. If you're in crisis in the US, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline). If you're in danger, call 911 or your local emergency number.
Website hosting and support mail
Our public privacy and support pages are hosted on Replit. Replit may process visit and connection information under its privacy policy. Support email is handled through Google Workspace. Website visits and voluntary support email are separate from the app's local activity.
