Privacy Policy

Effective date: July 12, 2026

This privacy policy describes how PodTrace: Find Lost Headphones (the "App"), provided by Deniz Ozagac (the "Developer"), collects, uses, and shares information when you use the App.

1. What information do we collect?

Bluetooth and device scanning data

The App uses your device's Bluetooth to scan for nearby Bluetooth devices and measure their signal strength. This scanning happens entirely on your device. The names, identifiers, and signal readings of nearby Bluetooth devices are processed locally and are never transmitted to the Developer's servers or to any third party. The App does not collect or use your geographic location.

Personal information you disclose to us

The App does not require you to create an account or provide any personal details to use it. If you contact support by email, we receive the information you choose to share, such as your name and email address.

Payment data. Purchases and subscriptions are processed through Apple's App Store. Payment details are handled and stored by Apple, not by the Developer. The Developer uses RevenueCat, a subscription management service, to process your subscription status. This involves receipt information and anonymous identifiers, not your payment details.

Information automatically collected

The App uses analytics services (Amplitude and Google Firebase Analytics) to understand how the App is used and to improve it. These services automatically collect usage and diagnostic information such as device model, operating system version, language, app version, in-app events (for example, that a scan was started), session information, and approximate region derived from IP address.

Log and usage data. Service providers record diagnostic information such as crash reports, usage patterns, and timestamps.

2. How do we use your information?

The Developer processes information based on legitimate business interests, contract fulfillment, legal obligations, and user consent.

• Service delivery. Information enables delivery of the App's features, including managing your subscription.
• Customer support. Information you send by email is used to respond to inquiries and address service issues.
• Analytics and improvement. Usage data helps the Developer understand which features work well and fix problems.
• Order fulfillment. Purchase information is used to unlock premium features and manage subscriptions.

The App does not show ads, does not send marketing emails, and does not track you across other companies' apps or websites.

3. Will your information be shared with anyone?

The Developer shares information only with service providers needed to operate the App, for legal compliance, rights protection, or business obligations.

Service providers. The following third parties process data on the Developer's behalf:

• Apple processes payments and subscriptions.
• RevenueCat manages subscription status.
• Google Firebase provides analytics and app infrastructure.
• Amplitude provides usage analytics.

Legal bases for processing:

• User consent for specific purposes
• Legitimate business interests
• Contract performance
• Legal obligations and law enforcement compliance
• Vital interests involving safety or illegal activity investigation

Business transfers. Information may be shared during mergers, asset sales, financing, or business acquisitions.

Personal data sales. The Developer does not sell personal information to third parties.

4. What is our stance on third-party websites?

The App is not responsible for the safety or privacy practices of third-party linked websites. Users should review third-party privacy policies directly.

5. How long do we keep your information?

Information is retained only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy or as required by law. When no legitimate business need exists, information is deleted, anonymized, or securely isolated from further processing.

6. How do we keep your information safe?

The Developer implements technical and organizational security measures to protect information. However, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, and users access the App at their own risk.

7. What are your privacy rights?

Regional rights

Residents of the European Economic Area and United Kingdom possess rights including access to personal information, rectification, erasure, processing restrictions, and data portability. Users may withdraw consent at any time. EEA and UK residents may complain to their data protection supervisory authority.

Swiss residents can contact data protection authorities through the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner.

Exercising your rights

The App does not use accounts, so there is no account to manage or delete. To request access to or deletion of analytics data associated with your device, contact contact@marcana.app. Requests are handled within 30 days, though legal requirements may necessitate retention of some records.

8. Controls for do-not-track features

The App does not track users across other companies' apps or websites and does not use the advertising identifier, so no App Tracking Transparency prompt is shown. iOS privacy settings let you further limit data sharing at the system level, and the Developer respects these preferences.

9. Do California residents have specific privacy rights?
