This Privacy Policy describes how Ripple ('we', 'us', or 'our') handles information when you use our mobile application Ripple (the 'App'). We are committed to protecting your privacy.

1. Information We Do NOT Collect

Ripple is designed with privacy as a core principle. We do not collect, store, transmit, or share any personal information. Specifically:

• We do not require you to create an account or provide any personal details.
• We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, or any other identifying information.
• We do not collect your writing, journal entries, or session content.
• We do not use analytics or tracking SDKs.
• We do not serve advertisements.
• We do not share any data with third parties.

2. Data Stored Locally on Your Device

All data generated by the App — including your writing sessions, highlights, and settings — is stored exclusively on your device using Apple's standard local storage (UserDefaults). This data:

• Never leaves your device.
• Is not backed up to any external server by us.
• Is only accessible by you on your device.
• Is permanently deleted when you uninstall the App.

3. In-App Purchases

Ripple offers optional in-app purchases (subscriptions and one-time purchases) processed entirely through Apple's App Store. We do not have access to your payment information. Apple's privacy policy governs all transactions. Please review Apple's Privacy Policy at https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/

4. iCloud Backup

If you have iCloud Backup enabled on your device, your device's local data (including Ripple data) may be included in your iCloud backup. This is controlled entirely by you through your device's iOS settings. We have no access to your iCloud data.
