Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 15, 2026

This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how Laura Garner ("we," "us," "our," or the "Developer") collects, uses, discloses, and protects information in connection with the mobile applications ("Apps") developed by the Developer and distributed through the Apple App Store. By downloading, installing, accessing, or using any of the Apps, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by the terms of this Policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Apps and uninstall them from your device.

1. Scope of This Policy

This Policy applies to all mobile applications published by Laura Garner on the Apple App Store, including but not limited to productivity, lifestyle, health, fitness, education, and utility applications. It governs information processed through the Apps themselves and any services, content, or features provided in connection with the Apps. It does not apply to third-party websites, services, or applications that may be linked to or integrated with our Apps but operated by independent parties.

2. Information We Collect

We aim to collect only the minimum information necessary to operate, improve, and protect the Apps. The categories of information we may collect include the following:

2.1 Information You Provide Directly

• Account information. If an App offers optional account creation, you may provide your name, email address, password, and profile preferences. Some Apps support sign-in with Apple, in which case Apple may share a relay email or anonymized identifier.
• User content. Notes, journal entries, photos, audio recordings, fitness data, language progress, or any other content you choose to create or import into the App.
• Customer support communications. When you contact us, we collect the contents of your message, your email address, and any attachments you send.
• Survey and feedback responses. Voluntary feedback you submit to help us improve the Apps.

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

• Device information. Device model, operating system version, language, time zone, and unique device identifiers provided by Apple's frameworks (such as the Identifier for Vendors).
• Diagnostic and usage data. Anonymized information about how the App is used, including features accessed, session duration, crash reports, and performance metrics. We use this data to identify bugs and improve stability.
• Approximate location. Some features (for example, weather, local recommendations, or fitness tracking) may use coarse location data. Precise location is only accessed with your explicit permission, which you may revoke at any time in iOS Settings.

2.3 Information from Apple and Third Parties

• App Store and StoreKit. When you purchase a paid App or subscription, Apple processes your payment and provides us with purchase confirmation data. We never receive your full payment details.
• HealthKit. If you grant permission, certain Apps may read or write health data through Apple's HealthKit framework. This data remains on your device and is never sold, shared with advertisers, or used for marketing.
• iCloud. If enabled, your App data may sync between your devices through your private iCloud account. We do not have access to data stored in your iCloud container.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, operate, and maintain the Apps;
• Authenticate users and secure user accounts;
• Personalize features based on your preferences and usage;
• Process in-App purchases and manage subscriptions;
• Send transactional notifications related to your use of the App;
• Diagnose technical problems and improve performance;
• Develop new features and conduct internal research;
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Use;
• Detect, prevent, and respond to fraud or security threats.

4. Legal Bases for Processing (EU/UK Users)

If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction with similar data protection laws, we rely on the following legal bases to process your personal data: (a) the performance of a contract when we provide you with the Apps; (b) your consent, which you may withdraw at any time; (c) compliance with a legal obligation; and (d) our legitimate interests in operating, protecting, and improving our Apps where those interests are not overridden by your rights.

5. Sharing and Disclosure of Information

We do not sell your personal information. We do not share your information with advertisers for cross-app tracking. We may share limited information only in the following circumstances:

• Service providers. With trusted vendors (for example, cloud hosting, crash reporting, and analytics providers) who process information on our behalf under written confidentiality and data protection agreements.
• Legal requirements. When required by law, subpoena, court order, or to respond to lawful requests from public authorities.
• Safety and rights. To protect the rights, property, or safety of our users, the Developer, or others, including enforcement of our Terms of Use.
• Business transfers. In connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, subject to standard confidentiality safeguards and continued protection of your data.

6. Children's Privacy

Our Apps are not directed to children under the age of 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected such information, we will delete it promptly. Parents and guardians who believe their child has provided us with personal information may contact us at the email address below.

7. Data Retention

We retain information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Account-related data is retained while your account is active and for a reasonable period afterward to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Locally stored content on your device remains until you delete it or uninstall the App.

8. International Data Transfers

The Developer is based in Canada, and information we process may be transferred to, stored, and processed in Canada, the United States, the European Economic Area, or any other country where our service providers maintain facilities. Where required, we implement appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses to protect your information during international transfers.

9. Security

We implement industry-standard administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include encryption in transit (TLS), encryption at rest where appropriate, restricted access controls, and regular security reviews. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights with respect to your personal information:

• The right to access information we hold about you;
• The right to correct inaccurate or incomplete information;
• The right to request deletion of your information;
• The right to restrict or object to certain processing;
• The right to data portability;
• The right to withdraw consent at any time;
• The right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details in Section 14. We will respond within the timeframes required by applicable law. You may also manage permissions (for example, location, notifications, camera, photos, and HealthKit) directly within iOS Settings.

11. California Privacy Rights

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) provide you with additional rights, including the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to delete personal information, and the right to opt out of any "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. We do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined under California law.

12. Third-Party Services and Links

Our Apps may contain links to or integrations with third-party services, including Apple services, that are not operated by us. This Policy does not apply to such third-party services, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or features of the Apps. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the latest revision was made. If we make material changes, we will provide reasonable notice through the App, by email (if you have provided an address), or by other appropriate means. Your continued use of the Apps after the effective date of a revised Policy constitutes acceptance of the changes.
