This Privacy Policy explains how Lenore (“we”, “us”, or “the App”) collects, uses, stores, and protects information when you use our iOS application. By using Lenore, you acknowledge this policy.
1. Who we are
Lenore is a coffee journaling app that helps you record daily cups, view statistics, collect a 16-item coffee catalog, and earn achievement badges. The App is designed to store data primarily on your device. We do not operate a cloud login system that requires your email address or password.
2. Information we process
Depending on the features you use, we may process the following data:
- Local account identifiers: When you tap “Quick Start”, the App generates a user ID, a local token, and a random nickname on your device to associate data with your profile.
- Coffee records: Coffee type, flavor tags, shop or brand name, mood notes, heart rating (1–5), date, and optional photos you choose to attach.
- Catalog and achievements: Unlock status for 16 coffee types, record counts, check-in streaks, total days, badge progress, and related statistics.
- Virtual coins: Your coin balance and coins obtained through in-app purchases (payments are processed by Apple; we do not receive your payment card details).
- Camera and Photo Library: Used only when you actively add a photo to a check-in. Images are saved in the App’s sandbox on your device. They are not automatically uploaded to our servers (the current version has no proprietary backend).
- App Tracking (optional): On iOS 14 and later, we may request permission under App Tracking Transparency (ATT) to access the Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA). You can deny or revoke this permission in iOS Settings at any time. Denying tracking does not block core journaling features.
We do not collect your legal name, email address, phone number, or password, and we do not require third-party social login.
3. How we use information
- Display today’s coffee, streaks, weekly progress, and recent records on the home screen;
- Generate weekly/monthly consumption charts, flavor preferences, favorite types, frequent shops, and average ratings;
- Manage catalog unlocks (coin spend), achievement badges, and calendar heatmaps;
- Process in-app purchases and update your coin balance;
- Improve the product and, if permitted, measure marketing effectiveness in the future—we do not sell your journal content.
4. Where data is stored and how long we keep it
Your records, catalog progress, coins, and settings are stored locally using a Realm database and UserDefaults. Photos are stored under the App’s Documents directory in a CoffeePhotos folder.
Data remains on your device until you delete the App, use Delete Account in Settings (you must type DELETE to confirm), or erase your device. Account deletion removes Realm user and record data and clears related login keys on the device.
5. Sharing and disclosure
We do not sell your coffee journal content. Information may be involved in the following circumstances:
- Apple: In-app purchases, system permissions, and (if you consent) App Tracking Transparency are handled by Apple’s platforms;
- Legal requirements: We may disclose information when required by applicable law.
The current version of Lenore does not sync your records to a server operated by us.
6. In-app purchases
You may buy consumable virtual coins through Get Coins. Prices are shown in the App Store at checkout. Coins may be used for certain actions (for example: creating a check-in typically costs 10 coins; unlocking one catalog item costs 5 coins). Purchases are subject to Apple’s Media Services Terms and refund policies.
7. Your choices and rights
- Manage Camera, Photos, Microphone (if applicable), and Tracking permissions in iOS Settings;
- View your coin balance and open this policy and the Terms of Service from in-app Settings;
- Delete your on-device account via Settings → Delete Account.
8. Children’s privacy
Lenore is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided information without parental consent, please contact us using the details below.
9. Security
We use reasonable measures to protect data stored on your device. No method of local storage is 100% secure; please keep your device protected.
10. International users
Because data is stored on your device, it generally remains in the country where you use your device. If you contact us by email, your message may be processed where our support team operates.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy and revise the “Last updated” date above. For material changes, we will provide notice within the App or by other reasonable means.
