Buyer's Remorse Log — Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

Buyer's Remorse Log is a mobile app published by Olaverse Labs ("we", "us", or "our"), which also maintains this website at olaverse.co.uk. This policy covers the app only. Our website privacy policy covers olaverse.co.uk separately.

2. What the App Stores

When you log a purchase, the app saves the following on your device:

• The item description you type.
• The price you enter.
• Your answer to the regret question, and your answer to the follow-up a week later.
• The dates of those entries, so the app can schedule the check-in and show your patterns over time.

This is stored in the app's own storage on your phone. It is not transmitted to us, and it is not transmitted to anyone else. You are the only person with access to it.

3. What We Never Collect

To be specific, rather than vague:

• No account. We do not ask for your name, email address, phone number, or a password, because there is nothing to sign in to.
• No bank or card data. The app is not connected to your bank, card, or any payment provider. Every purchase in the log is one you typed in yourself.
• No analytics or crash reporting. There is no analytics SDK, no crash reporter, and no telemetry in the app. We do not know how many screens you opened or how often you use it.
• No advertising identifiers. We do not read your IDFA, Android Advertising ID, or any other device identifier.
• No location, contacts, photos, or microphone. The app does not request these permissions.

4. Notifications

The seven-day check-in is scheduled by your phone's own operating system when you log a purchase. It is a local notification: no push server is involved, no device token is sent to us, and the reminder is delivered by your phone to itself. If you decline notification permission, the app still works — you simply will not get the reminder.

5. No Ads, No Trackers

The app contains no advertising and no third-party tracking of any kind. We do not sell, rent, share, or trade your information, because we do not have it.

If we ever introduce advertising or any feature that transmits data off your device, we will update this policy and the app's App Store privacy disclosures before that version ships, not after.

6. Device Backups

If you have iCloud Backup or Google's device backup switched on for your phone, your phone's backup may include this app's data along with everything else on the device. That backup is created and held by Apple or Google under their own privacy policies and encryption, and we have no access to it and no involvement in it. You can control this in your device settings.

7. Deleting Your Data

You are in full control, and you do not need to ask us:

• Delete an individual entry inside the app to remove that record.
• Delete the app from your phone to remove all of it at once. Uninstalling removes the app's local storage.

There is no "delete my account" request to send us, and no copy on our side to erase. This also means we cannot recover your log for you if you delete the app or lose your phone.

8. If You Email Us

The one case where we do receive personal information is when you choose to contact us. If you email us for support, we receive your email address and whatever you write. We use it only to reply, we keep it only as long as needed to resolve the matter and for basic records, and we do not add you to a mailing list.

9. Children

The app is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone — children included — since the app collects none.

10. App Stores

Downloading the app is a transaction between you and Apple or Google. They collect their own data about downloads, purchases, and crashes under their own policies, which we do not control. Any crash reports Apple or Google share with us are aggregated and provided by the platform, not gathered by the app.

11. Changes to This Policy

If we change this policy, we will update the date at the top of this page, and we will do so before shipping any app version that changes what data is handled.

Appendix: Legal Detail

The sections above are the whole picture in plain English. This appendix restates the same facts in the formal terms that data protection law uses, for anyone who needs them.

A. Controller and Scope

For the purposes of the UK GDPR and EU GDPR, the controller is Olaverse Labs, contactable at contact@olaverse.co.uk. Because the app processes your purchase log entirely on your own device and transmits nothing to us, that log is not personal data under our control. The only personal data we act as controller for is correspondence you send us directly.

B. Lawful Basis for Processing

• App use: no lawful basis is required, as we carry out no processing of your personal data. Processing on your own device, under your sole control, is not processing by us.
• Email correspondence: legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f)) — responding to a request you chose to send us.

C. Your Rights Under UK and EU GDPR

You have the right to request access to your personal data, and its rectification, erasure, restriction, or portability, and to object to processing. In practice, for the purchase log these rights are exercised directly on your device, since we hold no copy: you already have full access, and deleting an entry or the app is immediate erasure.

For any email correspondence you have sent us, you can exercise all of these rights by writing to contact@olaverse.co.uk. We respond within one month, as required.

If you believe we have handled your personal data unlawfully, you may complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk, or to your national supervisory authority if you are in the EEA.

D. United States State Privacy Rights

Under laws including the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the CPRA, and the comprehensive privacy laws of states such as Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, and Texas, we disclose the following:

• Categories of personal information collected through the app: none.
• Categories of sensitive personal information collected: none.
• Sold or shared for cross-context behavioural advertising: none. We have never sold or shared personal information, and we do not process it for targeted advertising or profiling.
• Sources: the only personal information we receive is what you send us directly by email.
• Retention: email correspondence only, for as long as needed to handle your enquiry.

You may exercise your rights of access, correction, deletion, and appeal by emailing contact@olaverse.co.uk. We will not discriminate against you for doing so. Because we hold no personal information from the app itself, a request about app data will be answered by confirming that we hold none.

E. International Transfers

Your purchase log is not transferred anywhere: it stays on your device. Email you send us is handled by our email provider in the course of ordinary email delivery.

F. Security

Your purchase log is protected by your device's own security — its passcode, biometrics, and platform encryption. We recommend keeping a device passcode enabled, since anyone who can unlock your phone can open the app. No system is perfectly secure, but the app's design means a breach of our systems cannot expose your purchase log, because it is not there.

G. Automated Decision-Making

The app shows you your own regret patterns over time. This is a straightforward summary of the entries you made yourself, computed on your device. It is not automated decision-making producing legal or similarly significant effects, and it does not involve profiling by us.
