The Daily Founder ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you use The Daily Founder mobile application (the "App"). By using the App, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
Information We Collect
The Daily Founder is designed with privacy in mind. We do not require you to create an account or provide personal information such as your name or email address to use the App. The information we may collect includes:
- Device information: Basic device identifiers, operating system version, and app version to ensure compatibility and diagnose technical issues.
- Usage data: Anonymized data about how you interact with the App, such as stories viewed, reading format preferences, and bookmarks. This data is stored locally on your device and is used to personalize your experience.
- Purchase history: If you subscribe to a premium plan, your purchase is processed through Apple App Store, Google Play Store, or RevenueCat (our subscription management partner). We receive confirmation of your subscription status but do not have access to your payment details.
- Support correspondence: If you voluntarily contact us for support at our email address, we will collect the email address and any information you choose to provide in your message.
How We Use Your Information
We use the limited information we collect for the following purposes:
- Improve the App experience: Understanding reading patterns and format preferences helps us deliver better content and features.
- Process purchases: Verifying your subscription status so you can access premium content across reading formats.
- Provide customer support: Responding to your questions, troubleshooting issues, and communicating important updates about the App.
- Ensure stability: Identifying and resolving bugs, crashes, and performance issues to keep the App running smoothly.
Data Storage
The Daily Founder stores your preferences, reading history, and bookmarks locally on your device using AsyncStorage. This means your data stays on your phone and is not synced to any cloud server operated by us.
If you delete the App, your locally stored data will be removed from your device. We do not maintain backups of your local app data.
Subscription and purchase data is managed by Apple, Google, and RevenueCat through their respective platforms. We do not store your payment information on our servers.
Third-Party Services
The App relies on the following third-party services to function. Each service has its own privacy policy governing how your data is handled:
- RevenueCat: We use RevenueCat to manage subscriptions and in-app purchases. RevenueCat processes your purchase data to verify subscription status. RevenueCat Privacy Policy
- Apple App Store: If you use an iOS device, your purchases are processed by Apple. Apple Privacy Policy
- Google Play Store: If you use an Android device, your purchases are processed by Google. Google Privacy Policy
We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third-party services to understand how they handle your data.
