Version 1 · Last updated: 13 November 2026

Unisono is an app that helps two parents choose a name for their baby together. This policy explains what personal data Unisono uses, why, who receives it and what rights you have. It covers the Unisono apps for iPhone and Android and the website getunisono.com.

1. Who is responsible

The controller is Matteo Bassi, sole proprietor, Ebnetstrasse 9, 8309 Nürensdorf, Switzerland. Email: privacy@getunisono.com.

We have not appointed a data protection officer, because the law does not require one for Unisono.

2. What we use, and why

Your account. We use:

  • the sign-in method you choose (for example Apple, Google or email);
  • the email address it gives us (Apple may give us a relay address instead of your own);
  • with Google sign-in, the name and profile photo link of your Google account;
  • with email sign-in, your password, which Google stores for us in hashed form;
  • the name you choose to show your partner;
  • a technical account identifier.

If you use the app without signing in, we create an anonymous account identifier. We need this data to provide the app and to connect you with your partner (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR: performance of our contract with you).

Your space. Everything you and your partner put into a space:

  • its title;
  • the names you add;
  • your yeses and noes, your order, stars and vetoes;
  • removal votes, proposals and the final choice;
  • the settings of the space: boy, girl, not yet known or twins; the countries whose names you see first; the surname, if you enter it.

Your partner sees the content of your shared space. We use this data to provide the app (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR).

Family and friends. Family and friends you invite take part as guests, with a guest account. They can see:

  • your display names;
  • the title and settings of the space;
  • the names in it;
  • the final choice.

They cannot see your yeses, noes or order. We keep the name a guest gives and their suggestions, and show them to the couple. Sections on the account, notifications, crash reports and security apply to guests as well (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR).

Notifications. To send you notifications, for example when your partner has added names, we store:

  • your device's push token;
  • an installation identifier;
  • the app version, the language and the platform;
  • your notification settings.

The legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. You can turn notifications off in the app or in your phone's settings.

Usage records. We keep a dated record when you act in the app, that is, when you:

  • add a name;
  • say yes or no;
  • change your order;
  • star or veto a name;
  • make or answer a proposal;
  • choose the final name;
  • reach certain steps, for example opening the decision screen.

Each record is stored with the space. It holds:

  • your role in the space (first or second parent, or guest);
  • the country settings of the space;
  • the app language and the platform;
  • the name concerned and its gender tag;
  • where the name came from (for example search, or a suggestion from family);
  • for a change of order, the old and new positions and the length of the list.

It does not hold your name, your email address, your account identifier or your surname. We use these records for two purposes, based on our legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR):

  • to run and improve Unisono, for example to see where couples get stuck;
  • to produce anonymous statistics on which names couples like, by country and year. We use them in the app (for example, "popular with couples in Italy") and may publish them, for example as a yearly name trends report.

Statistics are counts across many couples. We only show or publish a count that covers at least 10 couples, only for names in our name dictionary, and never a name that only you typed. You can object to this use at any time (see section 7).

Crash reports. If the app crashes, Google Firebase Crashlytics collects:

  • the crash trace;
  • the device model, operating system and app version;
  • installation identifiers;
  • your account identifier.

We use it to find and fix the error (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR: our legitimate interest in a working app).

Security. To check that requests come from a genuine copy of our app, the app uses Firebase App Check with Apple App Attest on iPhone and Google Play Integrity on Android. Our servers process IP addresses to provide the service and to prevent abuse (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Purchases. If you buy an unlock for a space, Apple or Google processes the payment as an independent controller under its own privacy policy. We receive confirmation of which space was unlocked, never your payment details (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR).

Messages to us. If you write to us, we use your message and email address to answer (Article 6(1)(b) or (f) GDPR).

What you must provide. You need an account to use Unisono; without one, we cannot provide the app. Everything else is optional: the surname, a display name and notifications.

What we do not do.

  • We do not show ads.
  • We do not use advertising or tracking tools, and we do not track you across other apps or websites.
  • We do not sell your personal data or share it for advertising.
  • We do not send marketing emails.
  • We do not access your contacts.
  • We do not ask for your due date, pregnancy details or any medical information.
  • We use the setting "boy, girl, not yet known or twins" only to show you suitable names and to let you choose one or two names. It never goes into statistics.

3. Who receives your data

  • Your partner, and the family and friends you invite, as described in section 2.
  • Google (Google LLC and Google Ireland Limited) provides our servers through Firebase: database, server functions, sign-in, notifications, crash reports and App Check. Google acts as our processor under the Firebase Data Processing and Security Terms.
  • Apple and Google deliver notifications and check the app's integrity. When you use their sign-in or buy in their store, they act as independent controllers under their own privacy policies.
  • Authorities, only where the law requires it.

4. Where your data is processed

Our servers run on Google Firebase in the United States. Google LLC is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, its UK Extension and the Swiss-US Data Privacy Framework. To ask for more information on these safeguards, write to privacy@getunisono.com.

5. How long we keep it

  • Account and spaces: as long as your account exists. Usage records are stored with their space and are deleted with it.
  • When your account is deleted:
    • We delete your profile, devices and sign-in account.
    • In a space you share with a partner, we delete your yeses, noes, order and usage records, and cancel open proposals and removal votes. Your partner keeps the space, its names and its family links, without your name attached.
    • A space with no partner connected is deleted with everything in it.
    • If a guest deletes their account, their suggestions stay with the couple without their name.
  • Suggestions from family and friends: as long as the space exists.
  • Server logs, including IP addresses: 30 days.
  • Crash reports: 90 days.
  • Sign-in IP addresses kept by Google: a few weeks.
  • Backups: Google removes deleted data from its backup systems within a limited period (up to 180 days for sign-in data).
  • Messages to us: up to two years after our last exchange.
  • Anonymous statistics: these no longer relate to anyone, so we may keep them without a time limit.

6. Children

Unisono is meant for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16. If you think a child has given us data, write to us and we will delete it.

7. Your rights

You can ask us for:

  • access to your data;
  • a copy of it in a portable format;
  • its correction or deletion;
  • a restriction of its use.

You can delete your account at any time by writing to us at privacy@getunisono.com. We answer within one month and may ask you to confirm that the account is yours.

Your right to object. You can object at any time to our use of your usage records and to any other use based on our legitimate interest. Write to privacy@getunisono.com. From then on, we exclude your space from statistics and from our analysis of usage records.

You can also complain to a data protection authority:

  • in the EU, the authority of the country where you live or work;
  • in Switzerland, the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC);
  • in the United Kingdom, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).

8. United States

We do not sell or share personal information for advertising. Because we do not track you across other websites or apps, we treat browsers' "Do Not Track" signals no differently.

Washington residents. Some information in Unisono may count as consumer health data under Washington's My Health My Data Act, because it can show that someone is expecting a baby. Our Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy explains how we handle it: getunisono.com/privacy/washington.

9. The website

getunisono.com sets no cookies and loads no analytics or advertising tools. Like every website, our host (Google Firebase) processes your IP address to deliver the pages.

10. Changes

If we change this policy, we post the new version here with a new date. If a change matters for how we use your data, we also tell you in the app.
