Privacy Policy
01
Overview
This Privacy Policy explains what personal data Quotes ("the App") collects, why we collect it, and what rights you have over your data.
We have designed Quotes with privacy in mind. Your favorites, journal entries, and personal content are stored in your own iCloud account — not on our servers. We use third-party services (Adjust, RevenueCat) for analytics and subscription management, which collect limited technical data as described in this policy.
02
Data We Collect
2.1 Data You Provide Directly
When you use Quotes, you may create the following content, which is stored in your iCloud account:
- Favorite quotes
- Journal entries and mood data
- Custom quotes you create
- Theme and display preferences
- Streak and progress data
2.2 Data Collected Automatically
We use a small number of third-party services that automatically collect limited data:
- Adjust — collects app events (such as installs and subscription starts) for marketing attribution. With your permission via the App Tracking Transparency prompt, Adjust may also use your device's advertising identifier (IDFA).
- RevenueCat — processes purchase and subscription events to verify your entitlement. It does not receive your payment details.
See Section 4 for details on each provider, including links to their privacy policies.
2.3 Data We Do NOT Collect
- Your name, email address, or phone number
- Health or fitness data
- Contacts or address book data
- Photos from your photo library
- Financial or payment card data (payments handled entirely by Apple)
03
How We Use Your Data
Your content (favorites, journal entries, custom quotes, etc.) stays in your iCloud account and is only used to run the App — syncing across your devices and sending the notifications you set up.
The analytics data collected by our third-party services (Adjust, RevenueCat) is used solely to understand how the App is discovered, measure engagement, and manage your subscription.
04
Third-Party Services
Quotes integrates the following third-party services. Each service is governed by its own privacy policy:
Apple iCloud / CloudKit
Your data is stored in your personal iCloud account using Apple's CloudKit framework. We do not have direct access to your CloudKit data. Apple's Privacy Policy applies: apple.com/legal/privacy.
Adjust
We use Adjust for mobile marketing attribution and analytics. Adjust collects your device's advertising identifier (IDFA) only if you grant tracking permission via the App Tracking Transparency prompt. Adjust's Privacy Policy: adjust.com/terms/privacy-policy.
RevenueCat
We use RevenueCat to manage in-app purchases and subscriptions. RevenueCat receives anonymised purchase transaction data from Apple and uses it to verify your subscription entitlement. RevenueCat does not receive your payment details. RevenueCat's Privacy Policy: revenuecat.com/privacy.
Apple App Store & StoreKit
All payments are processed by Apple. We do not collect or store your payment card details. Apple's privacy policy governs payment data.
05
Data Storage & Security
Your content (favorites, journal entries, custom quotes) is stored exclusively in your personal iCloud account via Apple's CloudKit. It is encrypted in transit and at rest by Apple. We never store your personal content on our own servers.
Analytics data collected by Adjust is stored on their servers. Adjust uses appropriate safeguards for international data transfers (Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent certification).
Retention: Your iCloud content is retained until you delete it or your iCloud account. Analytics events are retained by Adjust and RevenueCat in accordance with their own retention policies. You may request deletion at any time — see Section 7.
06
Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal data. We share data only in the following limited circumstances:
- Service providers: Adjust and RevenueCat receive only the data necessary to provide their services as described in Section 4.
- Legal obligations: We may disclose data if required by applicable law, court order, or legitimate governmental authority.
- Business transfers: In the unlikely event of a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, user data may be transferred to the successor entity, subject to the same privacy protections.
07
Your Rights
You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data at any time. Most of your content can be deleted directly in the App. To remove everything, delete the App and clear its data from iOS Settings → [Your Name] → iCloud → Manage Storage.
You can withdraw tracking consent at any time via iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking → Quotes.
For any other requests, reach us at [email protected].
08
Children's Privacy
Quotes is not directed to anyone under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children — if you believe this has happened, contact us and we will delete it promptly.
09
App Tracking Transparency
In accordance with Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) framework, we request your permission before tracking your activity across apps and websites owned by other companies. This tracking is used by Adjust for marketing attribution.
If you deny tracking: Adjust will operate in a privacy-preserving mode using only anonymised, aggregated data. The App's full functionality is unaffected.
You can change your tracking preference at any time in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking → Quotes.
10
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the App after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
