Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how SubTool ("we," "our," or "us") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our mobile application (the "Service"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about our data practices.

2. Information We Do NOT Collect

SubTool is built with a privacy-first approach. We explicitly do NOT collect, store, or transmit any of the following information:

• Personal Information: Names, email addresses, phone numbers, or any personally identifiable information
• Financial Data: Credit card numbers, bank account information, or payment details
• Subscription Details: Your subscription names, costs, billing cycles, or related information
• Usage Analytics: App usage patterns, feature interactions, or behavioral data
• Location Data: Your geographic location or movement patterns
• Device Information: Device identifiers, operating system details, or hardware specifications

3. Local Data Storage

All data you enter into SubTool is stored exclusively on your device using Apple's Core Data framework. This includes:

• Subscription information (names, costs, billing cycles, categories)
• Custom categories you create
• App preferences and settings
• Notification preferences

3.1 Data Security

Your data is protected by iOS's built-in security features, including:

• App Sandbox protection
• Device encryption (when enabled)
• Secure local storage using Core Data
• No network transmission of personal data

4. Third-Party Services

SubTool does not integrate with any third-party analytics services, advertising networks, or data collection platforms. We do not use:

• Google Analytics or similar tracking services
• Facebook SDK or social media integrations
• Advertising networks or SDKs
• Crash reporting services that collect personal data
• Cloud storage services for your personal data

5. App Store and iOS Integration

SubTool uses only standard iOS frameworks and Apple services:

• Core Data: For local data storage
• UserNotifications: For local notifications (with your permission)
• SwiftUI/UIKit: For user interface
• Foundation: For basic app functionality

These Apple frameworks operate according to Apple's privacy policies and do not transmit your personal data to our servers.

6. Permissions

SubTool may request the following permissions:

6.1 Notifications

We may request permission to send local notifications to remind you about upcoming subscription renewals. These notifications are generated locally on your device and do not involve any external servers.

6.2 No Other Permissions

SubTool does not request access to:

• Camera or photos
• Contacts or calendar
• Location services
• Microphone
• Network access for data transmission

7. Data Backup and iCloud

If you have iCloud Backup enabled on your device, your SubTool data may be included in your device backup. This is controlled entirely by your iOS settings and Apple's iCloud Privacy Policy. We do not have access to your iCloud data.

To exclude SubTool from iCloud backup:

• Go to Settings > [Your Name] > iCloud > Manage Storage > Backups
• Select your device
• Turn off SubTool in the backup options

8. Children's Privacy

SubTool is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Since we don't collect any personal information at all, this policy inherently protects children's privacy.

9. Data Deletion

Since all data is stored locally on your device, you have complete control over your data:

• Delete Individual Items: Remove specific subscriptions within the app
• Reset All Data: Use the app's reset function to clear all data
• Uninstall App: Deleting the app removes all associated data from your device

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by:

• Posting the new Privacy Policy in the app
• Updating this webpage
• Including a notice in app updates

Your continued use of the app after any changes constitutes acceptance of the new Privacy Policy.

11. Your Rights

Since SubTool operates entirely locally on your device:

• Right to Access: You have full access to all your data within the app
• Right to Modify: You can edit or update any information at any time
• Right to Delete: You can delete any or all data at any time
• Right to Export: While we don't provide export features currently, all data remains on your device

12. Compliance

• Apple App Store Review Guidelines
• General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
• California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)
• Other applicable privacy laws

For transparency, here are the technical details of our privacy implementation:

• No Network Requests: The app makes no HTTP/HTTPS requests to external servers
• No Analytics SDKs: No third-party tracking or analytics libraries
• Local Storage Only: All data persists only in the app's local Core Data database
