Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 2026

Privacy by Design: CountFlow is engineered so your personal counts, habit logs, and activity records stay exclusively on your device or in your personal private iCloud account. We do not collect, transmit, sell, or rent your personal data, nor do we track you across third-party websites or services.

1. Information We Collect and Process

Our core philosophy is absolute data minimization. We only store the minimal information required to give you an ultra-responsive counting experience across iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV:

On-Device Storage: All your counters, timestamps, goal values, categories, and settings are stored locally on your device using Apple's native SwiftData framework and protected with iOS/iPadOS/tvOS Data Protection (.completeFileProtection).
iCloud Synchronization (CloudKit): If you choose to enable iCloud synchronization, your counter data is transmitted and synced via Apple's private CloudKit database. This data is encrypted in transit and at rest by Apple, linked exclusively to your personal Apple ID. The developer has zero access to your iCloud records or encryption keys.
Zero Analytics or Crash SDKs: CountFlow contains zero third-party telemetry, advertising, or behavior tracking libraries. Any opt-in diagnostic crash logs are collected directly by Apple via App Store Connect and are strictly anonymized.

2. In-App Purchases (StoreKit 2)

Purchases of CountFlow Pro (unlimited counters, interactive widgets, exclusive themes) are processed directly by Apple through StoreKit 2. We never handle, receive, or store your credit card, billing address, or payment information. All billing transactions are governed by the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.

3. Required Reason APIs Compliance

CountFlow fully complies with Apple's Required Reason API policies documented in our official PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy manifest:

UserDefaults is used solely on-device to persist basic user preferences (theme choice, sound effects, haptic toggles) under purpose code CA92.1.
No biometric data, location data, camera, or microphone feeds are ever requested or accessed.

4. Data Retention and Deletion

Because all data is stored on your device and inside your personal iCloud account, you maintain 100% control over it:

Deleting a counter removes all associated historical log entries permanently.
Uninstalling the app removes all local database files. You can delete synced iCloud data anytime via iOS Settings > Apple ID > iCloud > Storage.

5. Changes to This Policy

If we update this Privacy Policy, the revised version will be published here with an updated revision date. Any future functional change that involves data handling will be reflected simultaneously in the application's PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy manifest and App Store Connect Privacy Labels.
