Privacy Policy

Textrospect is made by AppKind. This policy explains what the app processes, where it is stored, who else is involved and what you can do about it.

In short

• Your chats are read only on your device and are never uploaded or stored.
• No account, no ads, no analytics and no server of ours.
• We do not sell your personal data.

Who we are

The developer and data controller for Textrospect is FOP Danyil Ihnatenko (ФОП Ігнатенко Даниїл Ігорович), Ukraine (D-U-N-S 66-768-9100), trading as AppKind. Contact: support@appkind.app.

What we process and where it is stored

• Chat exports you open: messages, sender names, timestamps and media file names, from you and from the other people in the chat. The file is read in memory on your device to compute statistics and the story cards, and the imported copy is deleted right after reading. No messages or statistics are saved.
• Recap cards are drawn on the device. A temporary image is created only when you share or save a card, and is wiped before the next share.
• Chat fingerprints: for chats you unlock, the app keeps a short one-way code (a hash of the first message’s time, author and text) so it remembers the unlock. It contains no readable message content and is kept in your iCloud Keychain (Apple) or the app’s settings included in your Google backup (Android).
• Purchase status (see RevenueCat below). Chat fingerprints are not sent to RevenueCat.

Permissions

The app asks for a permission only when a feature needs it. You can say no and change your mind later in system settings; the rest of the app keeps working.

• Files: only the chat export you share to the app or pick yourself.
• Photos (add only, iPhone): to save recap cards.

Third-party services

These providers process data for the purposes below under their own privacy policies:

• RevenueCat: Checks your purchases. Receives an anonymous app user ID, your store purchase records and basic device and app information. It never receives your chats. Privacy policy: revenuecat.com/privacy
• Apple: App Store payments; iCloud Keychain keeps the chat fingerprints for unlocked chats. Privacy policy: apple.com/legal/privacy
• Google: Google Play payments; Android backup keeps the app’s settings with the chat fingerprints. Privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy

Other people’s messages

A chat export also contains messages and names of the other people in that chat. Textrospect processes them only on your device, only while it builds your recap, and never uploads or stores them. We never receive them.

Cards can show names, quotes and counts from the chat. Share them only with the consent of the people in it, and follow the law where you live. Chats can contain sensitive things; think before you share.

Why we process it

• To provide the app and the features you use, including Pro (performance of our contract with you).
• Optional permissions and connections are used only after you turn them on (your consent, which you can withdraw at any time).
• To meet legal obligations, such as tax rules for purchases, which the stores handle.

What we never do

• We do not sell your personal data.
• We do not show ads and do not track you across other companies’ apps and websites.
• We do not use analytics or crash-reporting SDKs.

International transfers and security

The providers above may process data outside your country, including in the United States. We rely on the safeguards they offer, such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses. Data that leaves your device is encrypted in transit (HTTPS).

How long we keep data

Chats are not kept at all. Chat fingerprints are kept so your unlocks survive a reinstall: they stay in your iCloud Keychain or Google backup until you remove them.

Deleting your data

• There is no chat data to delete: the import is removed after reading, and “Done” clears the recap.
• Chat fingerprints survive uninstalling by design. On Android, delete the app’s backup in your Google account and uninstall the app. On Apple devices they are stored in your iCloud Keychain; if you want them removed, contact us and we will help.
• Cards you shared or saved stay where you put them.

Your rights

If you are in the EEA or the UK (GDPR / UK GDPR), you have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to the processing of your personal data, to data portability, and to withdraw consent at any time. You can also complain to your local data protection authority (in Ukraine: the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights).

If you live in California or another US state with a privacy law (CCPA/CPRA and similar), you have the right to know, access, correct and delete your personal information, and not to be discriminated against for using these rights. We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising.

Most of your data never reaches us: it stays on your device or in your own cloud, where you control it directly with the tools above. For data held by our providers (for example purchase records at RevenueCat), write to support@appkind.app and we will help.

Children

Textrospect is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we will post the new version on this page with a new date, and tell you in the app if the change is significant.
