Privacy Policy
earlier.me is a service that stores personal messages and delivers them on a future date you choose. We take the privacy of those messages — and your personal information — seriously.
What we collect
When you create a message, we collect:
- Your email address (used for account access and delivery notifications)
- Your name (optional, used as the sender name on your message)
- The content of your message — text, audio, or video
- The recipient's name and email address
- The delivery date you choose
- Email addresses of any Trusted Keepers you add
We also collect standard technical information — IP addresses, browser type, and usage logs — for security and operational purposes.
How we use it
We use your information only to operate the service: storing your message, sending delivery notifications to you and your recipient, and allowing you to log in and manage your messages.
We do not sell your data. We do not use your message content for advertising or training AI models. No one at earlier.me can read the contents of your message before it is delivered.
How we store it
Messages are stored encrypted on enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure. Your message is decrypted only at the moment of delivery.
Third-party services
We use the following third-party services to operate earlier.me:
- Stripe — for payment processing. Your card details are handled entirely by Stripe and never stored on our servers.
- Postmark — for sending transactional email (delivery notifications, sign-in codes).
- Amazon AWS — for cloud storage infrastructure.
Your rights
You may request deletion of your account and all associated messages at any time by emailing hello@earlier.me. Once a message has been delivered, the delivered copy cannot be recalled, but we will delete all stored data on our end.
Cookies
We use a single session cookie to keep you logged in. We do not use tracking or advertising cookies.
Changes
If we make material changes to this policy we will update the date at the top of this page. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance.
