Privacy Policy

1. Overview

Indexsmith ("the App") is designed as a local-first ASO research tool for iPhone and iPad. This Privacy Policy explains what data stays on your device, what limited information may be transmitted, and how purchases are handled.

2. Data we work with

Indexsmith processes several categories of data locally on your device:

• Tracked app records — the apps you save into your local library
• Research output — keyword sessions, review analyses, dossier artifacts, notebook entries, and cached market data
• Workspace preferences — selected tabs, filters, review limits, premium debug mode in development builds, and related local settings
• Public App Store information — listing text, ratings, rankings, reviews, pricing, and similar public storefront data fetched from Apple endpoints

This app data is stored locally using UserDefaults and local JSON persistence on your device. It is deleted when you remove the app unless iOS backup/restore mechanisms preserve it as part of your own device backup workflow.

3. Anonymous telemetry

Indexsmith uses TelemetryDeck for anonymous aggregate product analytics. These analytics help the developer understand app quality, feature usage, and premium conversion flow without building personal profiles or ad targeting.

The app may send signals such as:

• App launches
• Workspace selection (Research, Markets, Apps, Journal)
• Paywall presentation and premium flow actions

TelemetryDeck also attaches limited runtime metadata automatically, such as app version, build number, device model family, operating system version, language, region, color scheme, and similar technical context described in its SDK documentation.

4. Network use

Indexsmith may access the network for three categories of work:

• Public App Store research — fetching App Store listings, ratings, reviews, rankings, and pricing information
• Apple purchase handling — StoreKit product loading, purchases, and restore flows
• Anonymous telemetry delivery — sending aggregate product signals to TelemetryDeck

Indexsmith does not run its own user-content backend and does not synchronize your local research workspace to a developer-operated cloud.

5. In-app purchases

• Premium access is handled by Apple using StoreKit
• The developer does not receive your payment card details or billing information
• Entitlement state may be stored locally on your device to keep premium UX responsive
• Restores are handled through Apple-managed purchase records

6. Data sharing

• No advertising SDKs
• No social SDKs
• No user account backend
• No cross-app behavioural advertising
• No sale of personal information

The only third-party services used by the app are Apple platform services for App Store and purchase flows, and TelemetryDeck for anonymous aggregate telemetry.

7. Data retention

• Local workspace data: stored on your device until you delete the app or clear it manually through app workflows where available
• Anonymous telemetry events: retained by TelemetryDeck according to its own retention policy for aggregate analytics
• Purchase records: maintained by Apple under Apple's own systems and policies

8. Your control

You can delete locally stored Indexsmith data by deleting the app from your device. Because the app does not require an account, there is no developer-side profile to request for deletion. Apple-managed purchase records remain under Apple's systems.

9. Children's privacy

Indexsmith is not directed to children under 13. The app does not require an account, does not build personal profiles, and is intended as a professional or enthusiast developer tool.

10. Changes to this policy

If this Privacy Policy changes, the "Last Updated" date above will be revised. Significant changes may also be reflected in app release notes. The current version of this policy is available at ios.dnesdan.cz/indexsmith/privacy-policy.
