Coral Companion · Last updated October 2, 2026
Coral Companion is an unofficial fan-made companion app for the game Coral Island. It is developed and operated by Hawleywood LLC ("we", "us", "our"). This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices.
By using Coral Companion you agree to this policy. If you don't agree, please don't use the app.
If you choose to sign in, you sign in through Apple or Google. We receive your email address and, if provided by Apple, your name. We do not create or store passwords — authentication is handled entirely by Apple and Google.
After signing in, you're asked to choose a display name. This is stored in association with your account, and is shown to other members of a co-op farm you're part of (see Section 3).
If you're signed in, the following is synced to the cloud so you can access it across your devices:
Please keep in mind that to-dos and notes are stored as you write them, so avoid putting anything sensitive or personal in them.
If you use the app as a guest, all of this is stored only on your device and is never sent to us.
The app is free. You may optionally purchase Coral Plus, a one-time unlock for additional convenience features. It is processed by the Apple App Store or Google Play.
To validate purchases, we use RevenueCat, which receives a user identifier and your store purchase receipt. We never receive or store your payment card details. RevenueCat also manages your Coral Plus entitlement so it carries across your devices.
If you submit feedback through the app, we collect your message, your app version, your device platform (iOS or Android), and the language the app is set to (so we can reply in it and spot translation problems). If you're signed in, your user ID is attached and your account email address is visible to us, so we can reply. If you're using the app as a guest, you can optionally type an email address if you'd like a reply; otherwise guest feedback is anonymous.
Screenshots. You can optionally attach one image to a feedback message, for example a screenshot showing a wrong translation or a bug. It is entirely your choice, and the image is only sent when you tap Send. The app uses your device's own photo picker, so you choose the single image yourself and the app never sees the rest of your photo library; no photo-library permission is requested. The app asks the picker to leave out location and camera (EXIF) metadata. To prevent abuse, the upload service temporarily records the IP address of each upload request, normally for no more than 24 hours. The image itself, however, is sent exactly as it appears, so please don't attach anything that shows personal information you wouldn't want us to see, such as an email address or a name on screen.
Attached images are stored with our database provider (Supabase) under a randomly generated file name. Files can't be browsed or listed, but anyone who has the exact link to a file can open it. We only place that link in a private notification sent to us (see Discord in Section 4).
We use PostHog to understand how the app is used and where to focus improvements. PostHog receives:
PostHog does not receive your name, email address, payment details, or the contents of your notes and to-dos. Because a signed-in user's events are associated with their account, this analytics data is considered linked to you. It is used only to operate and improve the app. It is never used for advertising, never sold, and never combined with data from other companies' apps or websites to track you.
We do not collect your location, your contacts, your microphone input, or your camera. We do not browse or scan your photo library: the only photo the app ever receives is a single image you deliberately choose to attach to feedback. The app can also save a progress image to your Photos. We do not use advertising networks, we do not use the advertising identifier (IDFA), and we do not track you across other apps or websites.
We do not sell your data. We do not use your data for advertising. We do not share your data with any third parties except as described in Section 4.
Coral Companion lets a Coral Plus owner turn a farm into a co-op farm and invite up to three other people to join it with an invite code. Joining is free — the people you invite don't need Coral Plus themselves.
Sharing a farm this way shares certain data among its members:
Townsfolk heart levels, gift history, lockets, and marriage status stay personal to you even on a shared farm.
You can leave a co-op farm at any time from Settings. If you're the owner, you can remove a member or turn co-op off at any time. Leaving or being removed doesn't delete your own account data — it just stops that farm's shared content from being visible to you.
Supabase. We use Supabase (supabase.com) to store account information, synced game progress, and any screenshot you attach to feedback. Supabase acts as a data processor on our behalf and is subject to its own privacy policy at supabase.com/privacy.
RevenueCat. We use RevenueCat (revenuecat.com) to validate your Coral Plus purchase and manage that entitlement across your devices. RevenueCat receives a user identifier and your store purchase receipt. Its privacy policy is at revenuecat.com/privacy.
PostHog. We use PostHog (posthog.com) for product analytics. PostHog receives product interaction events (screens viewed, features used), a short technical error message when sign-in or co-op fails, an app-generated device identifier, and — if you are signed in — your user ID. It does not receive your name, email address, or payment details. PostHog's privacy policy is at posthog.com/privacy.
Discord. We use Discord (discord.com) to receive notifications from the app's backend in a private server that only the developer can access. These notifications can contain: (a) feedback you send: your message, app version, platform, app language, a shortened version of your user ID, your email address (your account email if you're signed in, or the one you typed if you're a guest), and any screenshot you attach. Discord fetches and displays the screenshot from its link and may keep a copy in its own systems; (b) when you create a farm, that farm's name and a running total of farms; (c) when someone makes a purchase or tip, the product, amount, platform, country, and a link to the purchaser's customer record at RevenueCat, which contains their account identifier; and (d) daily totals, such as counts of new accounts and feedback, that don't identify anyone. Discord is a separate service with its own privacy policy at discord.com/privacy. We also run a public Coral Companion community server on Discord. Joining it is optional, is governed by Discord's terms, and is not linked to your Coral Companion account.
Apple App Store and Google Play. Depending on where you downloaded the app, Apple or Google processes any purchase you make and provides us with anonymized sales reporting. They never share your payment card details with us.
Sign in with Apple. Apple handles authentication when you choose to sign in with Apple. Apple's privacy policy is at apple.com/legal/privacy.
Sign in with Google. Google handles authentication when you choose to sign in with Google. Google's privacy policy is at policies.google.com/privacy.
No other third parties receive your data. Section 3 describes what other Coral Companion users can see if you join or host a co-op farm — that's separate from third-party sharing.
Your account data is retained for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, all associated data — your profile, your farms, your tracked progress, your townsfolk relationships, and your notes and to-dos — is permanently deleted. Feedback you submitted is anonymized when you delete your account (your user ID is removed) and any screenshots you attached are permanently deleted, but the message and the copy of the related notification in our private Discord server are retained so we can track recurring issues. Those copies can include your account email as it was when you sent the feedback, and a copy of a screenshot that Discord already fetched may remain in Discord's own systems. A deleted screenshot can also stay reachable at its direct link for a short time while caches expire. We keep feedback until we delete it, and you can ask us to delete a specific message, screenshot, or notification at any time (see Section 6). Screenshots sent as a guest can't be linked to you, so for those, email us.
Guest data exists only on your device and is removed when you clear the app's local data or uninstall the app.
Guest mode. You can use the app without creating an account. No game data is sent to us in guest mode; the only exception is feedback you choose to send.
Delete your account. You can permanently delete your account and all associated data at any time through Settings → Danger Zone → Delete Account. You'll be asked to confirm by typing "DELETE". Deletion is immediate and irreversible.
Clear local data. You can clear all locally cached data through Settings → Danger Zone → Clear Local Data.
Leave a co-op farm. You can leave a shared farm, or, as the owner, remove a member or turn co-op off, at any time from Settings.
Data requests. To request a copy of your data, ask questions about what we store, or ask us to delete a feedback message, a screenshot you attached, or the related Discord notification, email us at contact@hawleywoodapps.com.
If you are in the EEA or the UK, data protection law gives you rights over your personal data. You have the right to access the data we hold about you, to have it corrected, to have it deleted, to receive a copy of it, and to object to or restrict how it is used. You may exercise most of these directly in the app: you can delete your account and all its data at any time from Settings, and you can use the app entirely as a guest, in which case no data reaches us at all.
The legal bases we rely on are: performance of a contract, for the account, sync, and co-op features you ask us to provide; legitimate interests, for basic product analytics used to operate and improve the app; and consent, where you choose to send us feedback. We do not use your data for advertising, we do not sell it, and we do not use it to track you across other companies' apps or websites.
Data is stored on servers operated by our providers (see Section 4), which may be located outside the EEA or the UK, including in the United States. To exercise any of these rights, or to complain about how your data is handled, email contact@hawleywoodapps.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
Coral Companion is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided information to us, please contact us at contact@hawleywoodapps.com and we will delete it promptly.
Authentication is handled by Apple and Google — we never see or store passwords. Your synced data is stored in Supabase with row-level security, meaning it's only accessible by you and, for co-op farms, the other members of that farm. No security system is perfect, but we take reasonable steps to protect your information.
If we make material changes to this policy, we'll update the date at the top of this page. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
