1. Introduction

Ghosted ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use the Ghosted mobile application ("App"). Please read this policy carefully.

By using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Do Not Collect

Ghosted is designed with your privacy as a priority. We want to be clear about what we do not collect:

• Personal content: Your journal entries, unsent letters, mood logs, and any text you write in the App are stored exclusively on your device. We never have access to this content.

• Location data: We do not request or collect your location.
• Photos, camera, or microphone: We do not access your device's camera, microphone, or photo library.
• Browsing history: We do not track your activity outside the App.

3. Information We Collect

We collect a minimal amount of data necessary to provide the App's subscription functionality through our third-party payment provider:

Data Type	Purpose	Provider
Device Identifier	To manage your subscription status and restore purchases across sessions	RevenueCat
Purchase History	To verify your subscription status and grant access to premium features	RevenueCat / Apple

This data is collected and processed by RevenueCat, Inc., our subscription management provider. RevenueCat uses an anonymous app user ID to identify your device — it does not collect your name, email, or any personally identifiable information.

4. How We Use Your Information

The limited data we collect is used solely for:

• Verifying whether you have an active subscription
• Restoring your purchases if you reinstall the App or switch devices
• Processing subscription renewals and cancellations through Apple's App Store

We do not use your data for advertising, marketing, analytics, tracking, profiling, or any purpose other than enabling App functionality.

5. Third-Party Services

The App uses the following third-party services:

RevenueCat — Manages in-app subscriptions. RevenueCat processes your purchase data and device identifier to verify subscription status. RevenueCat's privacy policy can be found at revenuecat.com/privacy.

Apple App Store — Processes all payments securely. We never receive or store your payment card details, billing address, or Apple ID. Apple's privacy policy can be found at apple.com/legal/privacy.

We do not use any advertising networks, analytics SDKs, crash reporting tools, or other third-party services that collect user data.

6. Data Storage and Security

All personal content you create within the App (journal entries, letters, mood logs, onboarding responses) is stored locally on your device using the device's built-in secure storage. This data is not transmitted to any server, cloud service, or third party.

If you delete the App, all locally stored data will be permanently deleted from your device.

Subscription data managed by RevenueCat is stored securely on their servers in accordance with their security practices and applicable data protection regulations.

7. Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, rent, or otherwise share your personal information with any third parties. The only data shared is the minimal subscription information processed by RevenueCat and Apple as described in Section 3.

8. Data Retention

Local data on your device persists until you delete the App or clear the App's data. We do not control or have access to this data.

Subscription-related data held by RevenueCat is retained in accordance with RevenueCat's data retention policies and applicable legal requirements.

9. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights:

• Right of Access: You can request information about what data we hold about you.
• Right to Deletion: You can request that we delete any data we hold about you. Since personal content is stored only on your device, you can delete it by removing the App.
