Privacy Policy

1. Overview

LynxApps ("we," "us," "our") operates the SubGuard application ("App"). This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use the App. We are committed to protecting your privacy — your subscription data is processed only on your device using local storage.

2. Information We Collect

Subscription Data

The App stores subscription information including service names, costs, renewal dates, categories, and billing frequency to provide tracking and analytics features.

Important: All processing and storage happens locally on your device using SwiftData. Your subscription information is never uploaded, transmitted, or stored on our servers.

Device & Usage Information

Through third-party services, we automatically collect:

• Device model and operating system version
• App usage data and performance metrics
• Crash reports and error logs
• Advertising identifier (for ad display)

Payment Information

All in-app purchases (Remove Ads) are processed through Apple's App Store. We do not collect or store payment card information. We receive only purchase confirmation and receipt information.

3. How We Use Information

• App functionality: to track and analyze your subscriptions on your device
• Service improvement: to enhance features and user experience
• Analytics: to understand usage patterns and improve performance
• Support: to provide customer support and troubleshooting
• Advertising: to display ads (in the free version)
• Legal compliance: to comply with applicable laws

5. Data Security

• On-device processing ensures subscription data never leaves your device
• Encryption in transit for analytics data
• Regular security updates and patches
• Minimal server-side data retention

However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Your Privacy Rights

• Usage analytics: retained up to 60 days
• Crash reports: retained up to 90 days
• Ad data: governed by Google's retention policies

9. Cloud Sync & iCloud

SubGuard v1 uses local-only storage (SwiftData). Cloud sync via iCloud/CloudKit is not currently supported and is intentionally deferred for future updates. If this feature is added, we will update this policy and notify users.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. We'll reflect changes by updating the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
