Privacy Policy

Last Updated: January 2025

1. Introduction

Welcome to GlassCount ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you understand how your information is handled when you use our mobile application ("App").

GlassCount is designed with privacy as a fundamental principle. All personal data you enter into the App is stored exclusively on your device and is never transmitted to our servers or any third party (except for purchase processing as described below).

This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected, how it is used, and your rights regarding your data. By using GlassCount, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Data Stored Locally on Your Device

2.2 Data Processed by Third-Party Services

The following data may be processed by third-party services to enable certain App features:

Important: RevenueCat, Apple, and Google do NOT have access to your drink data, Alcohol Level calculations, health information, or any personal content you enter into the App.

2.3 Data We Do NOT Collect

GlassCount is designed to respect your privacy. We do NOT:

• Require user accounts or login credentials
• Sync data to cloud servers
• Store your data on our servers
• Use analytics or tracking services (no Google Analytics, Firebase Analytics, etc.)
• Display advertisements
• Share your personal data with third parties for marketing
• Track your location
• Access your contacts, photos, or other personal data
• Include social features that share your information

3. How We Use Your Information

The data stored locally on your device is used exclusively to provide the App's functionality:

• Alcohol Level Calculation: Your weight and biological sex are used to estimate Alcohol Level using the Widmark formula
• Drink Tracking: Your drink entries are used to display your consumption history and statistics
• Goal Tracking: Your limits and goals are used to show progress and provide optional reminders
• Session Analysis: Session data is used to provide insights into your drinking patterns
• Journal Features: Journal entries are used to help you identify patterns and correlations

We do not access, analyze, or process any of this data—it remains entirely on your device under your control.

4. Data Storage and Security

4.1 Local Storage

All personal data is stored in a local SQLite database on your device. This data is protected by your device's built-in security features, including:

• Device encryption (when enabled on your device)
• App sandboxing (data is isolated from other apps)
• Operating system access controls

4.2 Data Retention

Your data is retained on your device for as long as you choose to keep the App installed. We do not have access to your data and therefore cannot impose retention periods.

4.3 Data Deletion

All data stored by GlassCount is automatically and permanently deleted when you uninstall the App from your device. There is no cloud backup or server-side storage, so uninstalling the App completely removes all your data.

5. Third-Party Services

5.1 RevenueCat

We use RevenueCat to manage in-app purchases and subscriptions. RevenueCat processes:

• Purchase receipts from Apple App Store or Google Play Store
• Subscription status (active, expired, cancelled)
• An anonymous user identifier (not linked to your personal identity)

RevenueCat does NOT have access to any of your drink data, health information, or personal content entered into the App.

For more information, see RevenueCat's Privacy Policy.

5.2 Apple App Store and Google Play Store

When you make a purchase, your payment is processed directly by Apple (for iOS) or Google (for Android). We never see or store your payment information (credit card numbers, billing address, etc.). Payment processing is governed by:

• Apple's Privacy Policy
• Google's Privacy Policy

5.3 Expo Notifications (Optional)

If you enable reminder notifications, we use Expo's push notification service to deliver reminders to your device. This requires storing a device push token. You can disable notifications at any time in your device settings, which will stop the use of your push token.

6. Your Rights and Choices

6.1 Access and Portability

All your data is stored locally on your device. You can view all information you have entered directly within the App at any time.

6.2 Deletion

You have complete control over your data. To delete all data:

• Complete deletion: Uninstall the App from your device. All data will be permanently deleted.
• Selective deletion: Use the App's built-in features to delete individual entries or clear your history.

6.3 Notifications

You can manage notification preferences:

• Within the App settings
• Through your device's system settings (Settings → Notifications → GlassCount)

6.4 Subscriptions

To manage or cancel your subscription:

• iOS: Settings → [Your Name] → Subscriptions → GlassCount
• Android: Google Play Store → Menu → Subscriptions → GlassCount

6.5 Rights Under GDPR (European Users)

If you are in the European Economic Area, you have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), including the right to access, rectify, delete, and port your data. Because all data is stored locally on your device and we do not have access to it, you exercise these rights directly through the App and your device settings.

6.6 Rights Under CCPA (California Users)

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) provides you with specific rights regarding your personal information. Because we do not collect, sell, or share your personal information with third parties (except as needed for purchase processing), most CCPA provisions do not apply. You have the right to:

• Know what personal information we collect (described in this policy)
• Delete your personal information (by uninstalling the App)
• Opt-out of sale of personal information (we do not sell personal information)
• Non-discrimination for exercising your rights

7. Children's Privacy

GlassCount is intended for adults of legal drinking age and is rated 17+ in app stores due to its alcohol-related content. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under the age of 17 or under the legal drinking age in their jurisdiction.

If you believe a minor has used this App, please contact us. Since all data is stored locally on the device, the App should be uninstalled from the minor's device to delete any data.

8. International Data Transfers

Because all personal data is stored locally on your device and is not transmitted to our servers, there are no international data transfers of your personal content.

Purchase-related data processed by RevenueCat, Apple, or Google may be transferred internationally according to their respective privacy policies and data processing agreements.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make changes, we will:

• Update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy
• For significant changes, provide notice through the App or our website

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically. Your continued use of the App after changes indicates your acceptance of the updated policy.
