Study Sessions ("the App") is developed and maintained by Alessandro Pace ("we", "our", or "us"), and this Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and store your information when you use the App. We value your privacy and strive to ensure your data is protected and used only in ways that align with your expectations.

1. General Information

Study Sessions is a productivity app designed to enhance your study routines, and this policy applies to the use of the App. As the sole developer, I am committed to safeguarding your privacy and making sure your data is handled securely.

2. Storage and Syncing of Data

All user data within Study Sessions is stored locally on your device and synchronized across devices using Apple’s iCloud service. More specifically, the App uses CloudKit, which stores data in your private iCloud database. This ensures that you have full control over your data, and it is never shared with third parties or external services.

Data Types Stored:

• Study sessions logs, times, and notes.

• User settings and preferences related to the App.

Your data remains in your iCloud account, which means you retain ownership and can manage or delete it through Apple’s iCloud settings.

3. Protection of Personally-Identifying Information

Study Sessions does not transmit any Personally-Identifying Information (PII) to external locations, third-party services, or servers. All user data, including any session logs and settings, is confined to the App and your personal iCloud database.

Non-Personally Identifiable Information:

We use RevenueCat to help manage in-app purchases and subscriptions, but we do not link this data to any personally identifiable information (PII). The data collected by RevenueCat is anonymized and consists only of transactional data (such as purchase history and subscription status) necessary to process and manage your subscriptions.

We do not collect, share, or store any personal information with RevenueCat. Any data sent is anonymized and used only for the purpose of subscription management and related analytics.

Third-Party Services for Payments and Subscriptions:

To process in-app purchases and manage subscriptions, we use RevenueCat, a third-party service. RevenueCat collects and processes the following information related to your subscriptions and purchases:

• Subscription status (e.g., active, expired, trial period).

• Purchase history (e.g., details of your past purchases or subscriptions).

• Transaction information (e.g., data necessary to process payments and subscriptions).

This data is anonymized and does not include personally identifiable information such as your name, email, or billing information. RevenueCat uses anonymous identifiers to track and manage subscriptions without linking this data to your personal identity. The data collected by RevenueCat is solely used for subscription management, payment processing, and improving your experience with the app’s in-app purchases.

For more information on how RevenueCat handles your data, please review their privacy policy.

4. Security

We take security very seriously. By relying on Apple’s CloudKit infrastructure and iCloud services, your data benefits from the robust privacy and security measures Apple provides. While no online service can guarantee complete security, we take all reasonable steps to ensure your data remains private and secure.

5. Your Data Rights

Because all your data is stored in your personal iCloud account, you have full control over it. You can:

• Access and manage your data directly via the App.

• Delete any or all of your data within the App or through your iCloud account settings.

• Discontinue syncing data to iCloud by disabling iCloud for Study Sessions in your iOS settings.
  
  

6. Third Party Analytics:

We use RevenueCat, a third-party service, to collect data for managing your in-app purchases and subscriptions.

RevenueCat collects anonymized data about your subscription status and purchase history to ensure that your subscriptions are correctly processed and maintained. This data is not linked to personally identifiable information.

RevenueCat does not store or share your personal information, and the data collected is used solely for the purpose of managing your subscriptions and providing you with in-app purchases.

For more details on how RevenueCat handles your data, please refer to their privacy policy.

7. Changes to This Policy

We reserve the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time. Any changes will be effective immediately upon posting. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your information.
