A small social app for real-life friend groups — your skate crew, your film crew, the people you grew up with. You sign in with your phone number. You share messages, photos, and drops with the people you chose. There are no strangers, no algorithm, no ads.
You can use sodalite, but only with a parent or guardian who knows you're using it and agrees to these terms on your behalf. If your parent doesn't know, you shouldn't be here yet.
If your child is using sodalite, you are responsible for their use of it. We can't automatically verify anyone's age; we trust that you've agreed to your child being on the app.
What you're signing up for as the responsible adult:
We will never knowingly collect more data about a child than we need to run the app, and we will never sell or share that data.
Questions, concerns, or a data request? Email hello@sodalite.app. We'll respond within a reasonable time.
The sections above are what most of this means in plain language. The sections below are the formal versions. If anything conflicts, the sections below are the operative text.
Terms of ServiceBy creating an account, signing in, or using sodalite ("the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service independently. Users under 13 may use the Service only with the informed, ongoing consent of a parent or legal guardian. By permitting a minor under 13 to use the Service, the parent or legal guardian:
We do not knowingly permit individuals who falsely represent their age or their parent's consent to use the Service. We may suspend or delete accounts we believe do not meet these eligibility requirements.
Authentication is based on possession of a phone number capable of receiving SMS. You are responsible for maintaining exclusive access to that phone number. You may not share your account, impersonate another person, or register multiple accounts to circumvent enforcement actions.
You retain ownership of content you create or upload ("User Content"). By submitting User Content, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, display, and transmit your User Content solely as necessary to operate and improve the Service. This license ends when you remove the content, except to the extent it has already been shared with other users.
You represent and warrant that you own or have the rights to submit any User Content you post, and that your User Content does not infringe, misappropriate, or otherwise violate any third party's rights.
You agree not to:
We may, at our sole discretion and without notice: remove User Content; suspend or terminate accounts; limit feature access; or cooperate with law enforcement. We are not obligated to pre-screen User Content, but we may do so.
You may terminate your account at any time by using the account-deletion control in Settings. Deletion removes your profile content, uploads, and private messages you have not yet transmitted; however, content you have transmitted to other users (messages, drops, photos in albums) may persist in their accounts and we are unable to retrieve it. We may terminate or suspend accounts for violations of these Terms.
The Service is provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis. We disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant uninterrupted availability, accuracy, or data preservation.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will we be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, data, or use, arising out of or related to your use of the Service. Our total aggregate liability shall not exceed one hundred U.S. dollars ($100).
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of your use of the Service, your User Content, or your violation of these Terms.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Michigan, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Oakland County, Michigan.
We may modify these Terms from time to time. If a change is material, we will post a notice in the Service prior to the effective date. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms.

Privacy PolicyWe process personal information where we have a legitimate interest in operating the Service, to perform our contract with you (these Terms), or to comply with legal obligations.
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes. We share data in the following limited circumstances:
Active account data is retained while your account is active. Upon account deletion, data associated with your profile, uploads, and unsent content is removed within thirty (30) days, subject to backup cycles. Content you transmitted to other users may remain in their copies of their conversations. Technical logs are retained for up to 90 days for security and abuse investigation.
If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without the verifiable consent of a parent or guardian, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. Parents and legal guardians of users under 13 may:
To exercise any of these rights, contact hello@sodalite.app.
Data collection for users we have reason to believe are under 13 is limited to the minimum necessary to operate the Service — specifically: phone number for authentication, chosen username, numeric account identifier, and content voluntarily created by the user. We do not use children's data for advertising, profiling, or sale to third parties.
We transmit data over HTTPS and store it on Cloudflare infrastructure, which provides encryption at rest and in transit. Authentication tokens are securely generated. We do not provide end-to-end encryption: messages and photos are accessible to us as required to operate the Service (for example, to enforce content rules or respond to legal requests). If you require end-to-end encrypted communication, this Service is not the appropriate tool.
The Service is operated from, and data is stored in, the United States. By using the Service, you consent to the transfer of your data to the United States, which may have different data-protection laws than your country of residence.
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your personal data, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact hello@sodalite.app. We will respond within 30 days.
We may update this Policy. If a change is material, we will post a notice in the Service prior to the effective date. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.
