Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 21, 2026

Short version: Priceful stores all your tracked values locally on your device. We don't have servers, don't collect personal data, and don't know who you are. Free users see ads from Google AdMob, which collects device-level data to serve ads — detailed below.

1. Overview

Priceful ("the App") is an iOS application developed by Aydin Can Polatkan (the "Developer"). This Privacy Policy describes what data is — and isn't — collected when you use the App. By using Priceful, you agree to this policy.

2. Data We Collect Directly

None. The Developer does not operate any backend servers. All tracked items, value history, settings, and preferences are stored locally on your device using Apple's Core Data framework. This data never leaves your device unless you explicitly choose to export it (e.g., via the in-app "Export" feature).

Priceful does not require:

3. Data Collected by Third Parties

Priceful is free to download and includes optional in-app purchases. To support the free tier, the App displays advertisements via Google AdMob. Premium users do not see ads.

When ads are shown to free users, the Google AdMob SDK may collect the following data. The Developer does not have access to this data — it is handled entirely by Google.

Use of the IDFA (Apple's Advertising Identifier) is gated behind Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt. You can decline tracking at any time via iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.

4. Network Activity

Priceful connects to the internet for three reasons:

5. Notifications

If you grant notification permission, Priceful generates local notifications on your device when tracked values change or hit your targets. These notifications are produced entirely on-device and are not delivered through any third-party push service.

6. Siri, Spotlight, and Apple Intelligence

Priceful integrates with Siri (App Intents), Spotlight Search (Core Spotlight), and — on iOS 26 or later — Apple's on-device language model (Foundation Models) for AI value analysis. All of these features run locally on your device. No voice, search, or analysis data is transmitted to the Developer or to third parties.

7. In-App Purchases

Priceful offers Premium as an auto-renewable monthly subscription and a one-time non-consumable "Lifetime" purchase. All payments are processed by Apple via the App Store. The Developer does not have access to your payment method, credit card, or billing information. Apple may provide the Developer with anonymized purchase receipts for verifying subscription status.

8. Data You Export

The App includes export functionality (CSV, JSON) that lets you share your tracked data from your device via Apple's share sheet. What happens to exported data after it leaves the App is your responsibility and outside the scope of this policy.

9. Children's Privacy

Priceful is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from them. Because we don't collect personal data at all, the App is safe to use by any audience; however, advertising networks' data practices are outside our control.

10. Your Rights (GDPR / CCPA)

Since the Developer does not collect or store personal data on any server, there is nothing to request, access, delete, or port from us. To erase all data Priceful has stored, simply delete the App from your device.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the App after changes indicates acceptance.
