Frequently Asked Questions
Is Circle really free?
Yes — Circle is completely free. There are no hidden subscriptions, paywalls, or premium tiers. All current features are free, and if we ever introduce premium features in the future, we will notify you clearly in advance.
I forgot my password. How do I reset it?
On the login screen, tap Forgot Password and enter your email. You'll receive a reset link within a few minutes. Check your spam folder if it doesn't arrive. If you still can't access your account, email us at hello@mycircle.co.nz.
What is a Circle? How does peer support work?
A Circle is a small private group (usually 3–20 people) focused on a shared wellness goal or experience — like Anxiety Support, Grief, New Mums, or Sobriety. Members share check-ins, offer encouragement, and build accountability together. All content in a circle is only visible to circle members.
Is my data private? Who can see my mood entries?
Your mood entries and journal reflections are completely private — visible only to you. Circle posts and messages are visible only to the members of that specific circle. We do not sell your data. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
How do I delete my account?
Go to Settings → Privacy → Delete Account. Your account will be deactivated immediately with a 30-day grace period (you can cancel by logging back in). After 30 days, all personal data is permanently deleted. For assistance, email hello@mycircle.co.nz.
Can I export my data?
Yes. Go to Settings → Privacy → Export Data. You'll receive a comprehensive file of all your data within 24 hours (GDPR Article 20 compliant).
How do I report inappropriate content or a user?
Tap and hold any post or message and select Report. You can also block a user from their profile. Our moderation team reviews all reports. For urgent safety concerns, email hello@mycircle.co.nz.
