Privacy policy
Your studying is your business.
Effective November 10, 2026
- There are no accounts. We never ask for your name or email address.
- Your study progress stays on your iPhone. We cannot see it.
- There are no ads, no analytics trackers and no tracking across apps or websites.
- If you buy something, Apple takes the payment. A service called RevenueCat confirms the purchase under a random ID that is not your name.
- We do not sell or share your information for advertising.
Who this covers
This policy covers the Eight Petals app for iPhone and the website at eightpetalsapp.com. "We" means the independent developer who makes Eight Petals. You can reach us at [email protected].
What stays on your device
The app saves these things on your iPhone only, so it can work:
- Which questions you have answered, and whether you got them right
- Questions you have saved
- Your mock exam results
- Your exam date and daily goal, if you set them
None of this is sent to us or to anyone else. If you back up your iPhone with iCloud or a computer, Apple may include it in that backup under your own Apple Account.
What is collected when you make a purchase
Purchases are made through Apple's App Store. Apple handles your payment. We never receive your name, email address, card number or billing address.
To confirm that a purchase is valid and to unlock the app, we use RevenueCat (Revenue Cat, Inc., based in the United States) as a service provider. When the app talks to RevenueCat, RevenueCat receives:
- A random ID the app creates for your installation. It is not your name, email address or Apple Account.
- Details of App Store transactions for this app: the product, the dates, the price and currency, the App Store country, and whether a subscription is active.
- Basic technical details such as the app version, the iOS version and the device type.
- Your IP address, which every internet connection reveals.
We use this only to provide what you paid for, to restore purchases, to answer support requests and to understand sales in total. RevenueCat's own policy is at revenuecat.com/privacy.
What we do not do
- We do not show ads.
- We do not use advertising or analytics trackers, and we do not track you across other companies' apps or websites.
- We do not sell personal information or share it for advertising.
- We do not ask for access to your camera, microphone, photos, contacts or location.
If you email us
When you write to us, we receive your email address and whatever you include in the message. We use it to reply and to fix problems. We do not add you to a mailing list.
This website
This website uses no cookies and no analytics. The company that hosts it keeps standard server logs, which include IP addresses and browser details, for security and reliability.
How long information is kept
Study progress stays on your iPhone until you reset it in Settings or delete the app. Purchase records are kept for as long as they are needed to give you access and to meet tax and accounting rules. Support emails are kept for as long as they are useful for helping you.
Your choices
- To erase your study progress, open Settings in the app and choose Reset progress, or delete the app.
- To ask what purchase information is held about your installation, or to have it deleted, email us and include the Support ID shown in the app's Settings. We reply within 30 days.
- To cancel a subscription, use Subscriptions in your Apple Account settings.
Depending on where you live, you may have legal rights to access, correct or delete personal information, or to complain to a data protection authority. Email us and we will help.
Children
Eight Petals is made for people preparing for a professional licensing exam. It is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted here with a new effective date. If the change is significant, the app's update notes will say so.
