Privacy Policy

Who We Are

Techgear Inc ("we", "us", "our") is the developer and publisher of the Cancel Subscription iOS application ("App"). We are responsible for your personal data as the data controller under applicable privacy law.

This Privacy Policy applies to:

• The Cancel Subscription iOS application
• Our website at cancelsubscription.app
• Any related services, support communications, and updates

Information We Collect

We collect only the minimum information necessary to provide you with the App's features. The table below describes what data is involved:

Information We Do NOT Collect

• We do not collect your name, email address, or any personally identifiable information unless you contact us for support
• We do not collect or store your email login credentials
• We do not access, read, or transmit the full body of your emails to our servers
• We do not collect payment card details or banking information
• We do not build advertising profiles or sell your data

How We Use Your Information

We use the information described above solely for the following purposes:

• Providing core features — detecting subscriptions, displaying your subscription list, calendar view, and spending insights
• Sending local notifications — reminding you of upcoming renewals based on your preferences (all processed locally on your device)
• Improving the App — analysing anonymised usage patterns to understand which features are most useful and to prioritise improvements
• Fixing bugs — using anonymised crash reports to identify and resolve technical issues quickly
• Customer support — if you contact us, we use the information you provide solely to respond to your enquiry
• Legal compliance — retaining records where required by applicable law

Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we process your personal data under the following legal bases under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

• Performance of a contract — Processing necessary to provide the App features you have requested (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR)
• Legitimate interests — Anonymised analytics and crash reporting to maintain and improve the App, where our interests do not override your rights (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR)
• Consent — Where we rely on your consent (e.g., notification permissions), you can withdraw consent at any time via your device Settings (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR)
• Legal obligation — Where we are required by law to retain certain records (Article 6(1)(c) GDPR)

On-Device Processing & Email Scanning

The Cancel Subscription app uses Apple's native frameworks to scan your email inbox for subscription-related billing receipts and renewal confirmations. This process:

• Runs entirely on your iPhone — email content never leaves your device
• Only looks for billing-related keywords (e.g., "receipt", "subscription", "renewal", "invoice") — it does not read personal or unrelated emails
• Stores identified subscription data (service name, price, renewal date) locally on your device using Apple's secure on-device storage
• Does not transmit email content to Techgear Inc servers or any third-party servers

You can revoke the App's access to your email at any time via iPhone Settings → Cancel Subscription → Permissions.

Analytics & Crash Reporting

We use industry-standard analytics and crash reporting services to understand how the App is used and to fix technical issues. These tools collect anonymised data only:

• Screens visited and features tapped within the App
• Session duration and frequency of use
• Crash logs including device model, OS version, and anonymised stack traces
• Device type and OS version for compatibility analysis

Analytics data does not include your name, email address, subscription content, or any data that could directly identify you. All identifiers are anonymised or pseudonymised before transmission.

You can opt out of analytics tracking via iPhone Settings → Privacy & Security → Analytics & Improvements or by contacting us at appledev650@gmail.com.

Data Sharing & Third Parties

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We may share limited anonymised data only in the following circumstances:

• Analytics providers — Anonymised, aggregated usage and crash data with analytics service providers (such as Firebase / Google Analytics), bound by data processing agreements and GDPR-compliant data practices
• Apple App Store — Apple processes payments and may collect data per their own Privacy Policy
• Legal requirements — We may disclose data if required to do so by law, court order, or to protect our legal rights
• Business transfers — In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, user data may be transferred; we will notify users in advance and ensure continued privacy protections

All third-party service providers we use are contractually obligated to handle data securely and only for the purposes we specify.

Data Retention

• On-device subscription data — retained on your device until you delete it within the App or uninstall the App
• Anonymised analytics data — retained by analytics providers for up to 14 months, after which it is automatically deleted or aggregated
• Crash reports — retained for up to 90 days to allow investigation and resolution
• Support correspondence — retained for up to 3 years to assist with ongoing or repeat enquiries, then securely deleted

You can delete all locally stored App data at any time by deleting the App from your iPhone. To request deletion of any data held by our analytics providers, please contact us.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you have the following rights regarding your personal data. We will respond to all verified requests within 30 days.

How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise any of the above rights, please contact us at appledev650@gmail.com with the subject line "Privacy Rights Request". We may ask you to verify your identity before fulfilling the request.

Right to Lodge a Complaint

If you are in the EEA and believe we have not handled your data lawfully, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. A list of EEA supervisory authorities is available at edpb.europa.eu.

For California residents under CCPA, you have the right to know, delete, and opt-out of the sale of personal information. We do not sell personal information — these rights are automatically honoured.

Children's Privacy

Cancel Subscription is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or 16 in EU member states where a higher age of digital consent applies). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under the applicable age of consent, we will take steps to delete that information promptly. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided data to us, please contact us at appledev650@gmail.com.

International Data Transfers

Your subscription data is stored on-device and never transferred internationally by us. However, anonymised analytics and crash data processed by our third-party providers may be transferred to and stored in countries outside your country of residence, including the United States.

Where such transfers occur, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, including:

• Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission
• Transfers to providers certified under recognised frameworks
• Data processing agreements requiring GDPR-equivalent protections

Security

We take the security of your data seriously and implement appropriate technical and organisational measures, including:

• All on-device data is stored using Apple's Keychain and secure enclave where applicable
• Any data transmitted to analytics providers is encrypted in transit using TLS 1.2 or higher
• We follow Apple's App Store security guidelines and conduct regular reviews of our security practices
• Access to any data we do hold is restricted to authorised personnel only, on a need-to-know basis

While we take all reasonable precautions, no method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure. If you discover a security vulnerability, please disclose it responsibly by emailing appledev650@gmail.com.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. When we make material changes, we will:

• Update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page
• Notify you via an in-app notification or App Store update notes where required
• In the case of significant changes affecting your rights, provide at least 30 days' notice before the new policy takes effect

Your continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
