Privacy Policy
This policy explains how My Rivals handles information when you use our iPhone app, website, and support service. For privacy questions, contact the app developer at andylurs@gmail.com.
Information we collect
- Account information. Your email address, account identifier, and authentication records let you sign in and manage your account.
- Your choices and inputs. We store the apps and rivals you select, searches you make, product descriptions and niche phrases you enter, report settings, and notification preferences. We use your timezone to schedule reports.
- App activity. We record interactions such as onboarding steps, reports and signals opened, filters used, and purchase activity. These records can link to your account. Some records include search text.
- Notification information. If you allow notifications, we store the device push token needed to deliver them.
- Subscription records. We process purchase identifiers, subscription status, renewal and expiry dates, and related App Store transaction records. Apple handles payments. We do not receive your payment card or bank details.
- Technical information. Our hosting and authentication services process information such as IP addresses, browser or device details, request logs, errors, and performance records.
- Support and earlier waitlist signups. If you contact us, we receive your message and contact details. The current app’s in-app bug reports include your text description and account email so we can investigate and reply. Earlier support records may include attachments. If you previously joined our waitlist, we retain your email address and signup date separately from your app account.
How we use information
We use this information to authenticate your account, build your Radars, provide reports and signals, manage subscriptions, deliver notifications you allow, answer support requests, prevent abuse, and improve reliability and usability.
Service providers and AI features
We use service providers for hosting, authentication, email delivery, website delivery, and AI processing. Apple processes payments and delivers push notifications. Searches can go to Apple's App Store search service.
Google's Gemini service helps analyze public app listings, release notes, reviews, prices, and screenshots. Public-only analysis is the default. Saved custom product descriptions, niche phrases, and features are sent to Gemini only if you have separately permitted that sharing. The current app release does not provide a control to enable this optional sharing. We do not automatically include your account email or account identifier in these AI requests. Providers process information under their applicable service terms and privacy policies.
Your saved custom context belongs to your account. Other users cannot read it through their accounts. Public App Store facts remain shared reference information. The app can provide reports without sharing your saved custom context with AI. Withdrawing previously granted permission stops future use of your saved custom context in AI requests. It does not recall requests already sent or remove reports already generated.
We do not sell your personal information or use it for cross-app advertising tracking. We may disclose information when required by law or to protect the service and its users.
Retention and account deletion
We retain information for the purposes described above, including operating your account, maintaining security, and handling subscription records. Retention depends on the type of record and the provider that processes it.
You can delete your account in the app under Account → Delete account. This removes your account and linked Radars, follows, preferences, device registrations, reports, activity records, saved custom context, and AI permission record.
Subscription audit records, earlier website waitlist entries, service logs, and backup copies can remain after account deletion. A restricted recovery copy of older shared profile and search records has a 30-day recovery window, followed by scheduled deletion. This copy supports recovery during our move to private profiles. It is not available to other app accounts or used for AI processing. Public App Store reference information is not removed when an individual account is deleted. Contact us to request deletion of information that remains identifiable to you.
Deleting your account does not cancel an App Store subscription. Manage or cancel it through your Apple account.
Your choices and rights
- Change your email address in the app's Account screen.
- Manage notifications in the app and in your iPhone settings.
- Contact us to request withdrawal of any previously granted permission to share custom context with Google Gemini.
- Request access, correction, deletion, or a copy of your personal information by emailing andylurs@gmail.com.
- Ask us to remove an earlier waitlist signup through the same email address.
Depending on where you live, you may also have rights to restrict or object to processing, withdraw consent, or complain to your local data protection authority. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request.
International processing and security
Our providers may process information outside your country. Applicable provider terms and legal safeguards govern those transfers. We use access controls and encrypted connections to protect information. No online service can guarantee complete security.
Children
My Rivals serves app founders and teams. It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes and contact
We will update the effective date when this policy changes. For material changes, we will provide additional notice where required. Send questions or privacy requests to andylurs@gmail.com.
