We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your personal data when you use the Peach and Pit journaling app.
1 Information We Collect
When you use our App, we collect and store the following personal data:
- Account Information: Your email address and username when you create an account.
- Journaling Data: Any entries you make in the journaling app, which may include personal reflections, thoughts, or other information.
- User-Generated Content: Photos that you may choose to upload to your profile picture or include in your posts.
- Location Data (with your consent): If you grant the App permission to access your device's location services, we collect your precise location (e.g., latitude and longitude) while the App is in use. We only collect this data if you explicitly grant permission through the device's operating system when prompted.
- Transaction and Purchase Data: Information related to your purchases within the App, such as subscription type, amount paid, and date of transaction. We do not collect or store your full payment card details.
- Usage Data & Analytics: Information about how you interact with the App, such as features used, time spent, and technical information about your device.
- Advertising Identifiers (with your consent): If you grant permission through Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) framework, we may collect advertising identifiers to deliver personalized ads and measure campaign effectiveness.
2 How We Collect Information
- Directly from you: When you create an account, enter journal entries, or upload photos.
- Automatically: Through your use of the App, for analytics and advertising purposes.
- From Third-Party App Stores: We receive transaction receipts and confirmation of purchases from the platform you use (e.g., Apple App Store, Google Play Store).
3 Use of Information
We use your information for the following purposes:
- To provide and manage your account: Authenticating users and maintaining your account.
- To fulfill and manage purchases: Granting access to Premium features or applying benefits of one-time purchases.
- To store your journal entries securely: So you can access them across devices and share them as intended within the App.
- To enable social features: We use your location data (if permitted) to allow you and other users to discover and follow each other based on proximity.
- To improve the App: By analyzing usage patterns and addressing technical issues.
- To display advertisements: If you consent to app tracking, we use collected data to show relevant advertisements and measure their performance.
- For internal analytics and research: To understand user behavior and enhance the App's features.
4 Data Storage and Security
All data is stored securely in the cloud (Firebase) and is encrypted both in transit and at rest to protect your privacy and data security. We employ additional security measures to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction of your data.
However, no method of data transmission or storage is completely secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
5 Payments and Transaction Data
- Payment Processing: All payments are processed by the respective third-party platform (Apple App Store or Google Play Store). We do not directly collect, store, or process your credit card numbers or other sensitive financial information.
- Data Collected: We receive transaction-related data from the platform to confirm your purchase and manage your access to paid features.
- Security: The third-party platforms that process your payment information are solely responsible for its security and handling.
6 App Tracking Transparency (ATT)
When you first launch Peach and Pit, you will be prompted to grant or deny permission for us to track your activity across other companies' apps and websites. If you choose "Ask App Not to Track," we will not track your activity for advertising purposes — you will still have full access to all App features.
7 Advertising
We display advertisements within the App. To make them more relevant (if you've consented to tracking), we partner with third-party advertising networks. These networks may collect your advertising identifier (IDFA, if permitted), IP address, and app usage data to deliver personalized ads and measure performance.
To limit personalized advertising on iOS: go to Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking and toggle off "Allow Apps to Request to Track."
8 Children's Privacy
Our App is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we may have collected information from a child under 13, please contact us at support@peachandpit.com.
9 Third-Party Links and Services
Our App may contain links to external websites or services that are not operated by us. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third-party sites. We use third-party service providers like Firebase for data storage — these providers are bound by their own privacy policies and data protection standards.
10 Data Retention
We retain your personal information, including journal entries and user-generated content, for as long as you maintain an account with us.
You may request deletion of your account and all associated data at any time by contacting us at support@peachandpit.com. Upon request, all data will be permanently removed from our systems within 30 days, unless required for legal compliance.
11 Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal or regulatory reasons. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. For significant changes, we may provide notice through an in-app notification or email.
