Slope may offer paid features through Apple's App Store and in-app purchase system.
Purchases are processed by Apple. Slope does not receive your credit card number, debit card number, bank information, or Apple ID password.
Apple may provide Slope with limited purchase-related information, such as whether a purchase was completed, restored, refunded, or expired, so the app can unlock paid features.
Apple's own privacy policy applies to payment processing through the App Store.
8. Notifications
Slope may use local notifications to remind you about your plan, check-ins, or intraday transitions.
Local notifications are scheduled on your device. Your exact notification schedule does not need to be sent to Slope's servers.
You can enable, disable, or change notification permissions through iOS settings.
9. Analytics
Slope may use analytics to understand whether the app is useful, where users get stuck, and which features improve adherence.
Analytics are designed to be limited, anonymous, and privacy-preserving.
Slope may use analytics to answer questions such as:
- Do users complete onboarding?
- Do users return after creating a slope?
- Which modes are most useful?
- Which slope categories show stronger adherence?
- Do notifications improve consistency?
- Does Ride It Out help users avoid detours?
- Which premium features are most useful?
Slope does not use analytics for advertising, cross-app tracking, or selling user data.
10. Third-Party Services
Slope may use limited third-party services for app functionality, analytics, crash reporting, payments, or infrastructure.
These services may process technical information needed to provide their services, such as device type, app version, crash logs, or anonymous usage events.
Slope does not allow third-party services to collect your custom slope display name, private notes, exact check-ins, exact detours, or exact taper schedule.
If third-party analytics or crash reporting tools are used, Slope will aim to configure them in a privacy-preserving way.
11. Data Retention
Local app data remains on your device unless you delete it or delete the app.
Anonymous analytics data may be retained for as long as reasonably needed to understand app performance, improve features, prevent abuse, or maintain business records.
