4. What Third-Party Services Do We Use?

The following third-party services process data on our behalf:

Your account data, wishlist data, and uploaded images are stored in Firebase. Firebase servers relevant to our app are located in Germany. See Firebase's Privacy Policy.
  • RevenueCat: we use RevenueCat to manage in-app subscriptions and purchases. RevenueCat receives your subscription status, purchase history, and device identifiers necessary to validate and manage your plan. See RevenueCat's Privacy Policy.
  • Expo (push notifications): we use Expo's push notification service to deliver alerts to your device. To do this, a push notification token is generated for your device and stored securely. See Expo's Privacy Policy.

We do not use any advertising networks, analytics platforms, session recording tools, or social login providers.

5. How Do We Handle Push Notifications?

With your permission, we collect a push notification token for your device. This token is used solely to deliver activity alerts you have opted into, such as price drop alerts, restock notifications, and promo code alerts.

You can enable or disable push notifications at any time in the app's notification settings, or through your device's system settings. Disabling notifications does not affect your core use of the app.

6. How Do We Process Product URLs?

When you add an item to your wishlist by pasting a product URL, that URL is sent to our servers, where automated tools extract product information such as the item name, price, images, and store name. This processing happens server-side and the extracted data is stored in your account.

We also periodically re-process stored product URLs to monitor for price changes, stock status updates, and promotional codes, in order to generate activity alerts for you.

We do not use product URLs for any purpose other than providing this functionality to you.

We do not directly collect or store your payment card details. Payment information is handled entirely by Apple and RevenueCat in accordance with their respective privacy policies.

8. Is Your Information Transferred Internationally?

If you are a resident in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom (UK), or Switzerland, please be aware that some countries may not have data protection laws as comprehensive as those in your region. We take appropriate measures to ensure your data is protected in accordance with this Privacy Notice and applicable law, including relying on standard contractual clauses where required.

9. How Long Do We Keep Your Information?

We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements).

When you delete your account, we will delete your personal information from our active databases. Some information may be retained in backup archives for a limited period before being permanently deleted. When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it.

By using the Services, you represent that you are at least 18, or that you are the parent or guardian of such a minor and consent to such minor dependent's use of the Services.

If we learn that personal information from users less than 18 years of age has been collected, we will deactivate the account and take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from our records.
