Privacy Policy
Capybara Cards ("we", "our", "us") is a conversation-card app. This policy explains what the app collects, why, and what stays on your phone. Short version: no account, no name or email, nothing you save leaves your device, and the small amount of usage data we do collect is anonymised and used only to run and improve the app.
1. What we collect
Nothing you have to type in
There is no sign-up. We never ask for your name, email address, phone number, contacts, photos or precise location.
Stays on your device
- Cards you save, your streak, badges and how far you are in each deck
- Your onboarding answers (which deck themes you came for, who you play with, an optional gender choice)
- Your language choice
These are stored only on your phone and are deleted when you uninstall the app.
Collected automatically
- Subscription status: whether you have an active subscription, processed by Apple and our subscription tool Adapty. We never see your payment details.
- Device and app information: device model, iOS version, app version, app language and country/locale.
- Usage analytics: which screens and decks you open, how many cards you swipe, which onboarding answers you pick, whether the paywall was shown and what you tapped on it. Card texts may be included so we can see which questions people enjoy. This is tied to a random identifier, not to you as a person.
- Session recordings: to find bugs and confusing screens we may record how the app's screens are used (taps and screen changes). The app has no text input except deck search, and there are no accounts, so recordings contain no personal information.
- Attribution: if you installed the app from an ad or a link, our attribution partner records that so we know which campaigns work. We do not ask for App Tracking Transparency permission and we do not track you across other companies' apps or websites for advertising.
- Push notification token: only if you allow notifications, so we can send them.
2. How we use it
- Verify your subscription and unlock the decks you paid for
- Understand which decks, questions and screens work, and fix what doesn't
- Measure whether our ads and links bring people who enjoy the app
- Send notifications you opted into
- Comply with the law
We do not sell your data, and we do not use it to build advertising profiles of you.
3. Services we rely on
- Apple App Store: billing and subscription management. apple.com/privacy
- Adapty: subscription status and paywalls. Receives an anonymous identifier, your subscription status and, for paywall personalisation, your onboarding answers. adapty.io/privacy
- PostHog: product analytics and session recordings. posthog.com/privacy
- Firebase (Google): analytics, remote configuration and push notifications. firebase.google.com/support/privacy
- AppsFlyer: install attribution. appsflyer.com/legal/privacy-policy
Each of these processes data on our behalf under their own privacy terms; they are not allowed to use it for their own purposes.
4. Subscriptions
Capybara Cards offers auto-renewing subscriptions billed by Apple through your Apple ID. Manage or cancel any time in iPhone Settings → your name → Subscriptions. Refund requests are handled by Apple as described in our Terms of Use.
5. Children
The app is intended for people aged 12 and over and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13; if you believe a child has used the app, email us and we will delete any related data.
6. Security and retention
Data in transit is encrypted (HTTPS/TLS). Analytics data is kept only as long as needed to run and improve the app and is stored by the providers above. No method of transmission is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
7. Your rights
Depending on where you live (including the EU/UK under GDPR and California under CCPA), you may have the right to access, correct, delete or receive a copy of your data, or to object to its use. Because we hold no account, tell us the approximate date and your device model so we can locate the anonymous record. Email hello@capybaracards.app; we reply within 30 days.
8. International transfers
The app is operated from Türkiye and our providers may process data in the United States and the EU. By using the app you agree to this processing.
9. Changes
We may update this policy; the date at the top will change and significant changes will be announced in the app. Continued use means you accept the updated policy.
