# Privacy Policy

**Last updated: 31 October 2026**

**Controller:** Peter Švorc, Slovakia  
**App:** Historical Wisdom  
**Contact:** support@bots5lab.com

This Privacy Policy explains how Historical Wisdom ("App", "we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, stores, and shares information when you use the App.

## 1. Who we are

Historical Wisdom is provided by Peter Švorc, Slovakia.

For privacy questions or requests concerning your personal data, contact:

**Email:** support@bots5lab.com

Where applicable under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Peter Švorc is the controller of personal data processed in connection with the App.

## 2. Summary

* You do not need to create an account to use Historical Wisdom.
* Most App preferences and personal saved content remain on your device.
* We do not collect your email address, phone number, payment card information, or location through the App.
* We do not send your display name to our analytics providers.
* We use Supabase for product analytics and in-app feedback storage.
* We use RevenueCat to manage subscription status and entitlements.
* Apple processes App Store purchases and payment information.
* We do not use the analytics described in this policy for cross-app or cross-service advertising tracking.
* You can request deletion of installation-linked analytics, feedback, and RevenueCat data using the in-App **Delete My Data** function.

## 3. Information processed on your device

Depending on how you use the App, information may be stored locally on your device, including:

* display name;
* selected inspirations, periods, and authors;
* saved quotes and personal lists;
* streaks and counters;
* theme and language preferences;
* notification preferences and notification settings;
* widget preferences.

This information is primarily stored locally and is not included in our product analytics.

Deleting the App may remove locally stored App data, subject to Apple's operating-system behavior and any data you may have separately backed up.

## 4. Analytics

### Supabase analytics

We use Supabase, a hosted database service, to store product analytics so we can understand how users interact with Historical Wisdom and improve the App.

The information sent to our analytics database may include:

* a random, app-specific user identifier (`user_id`);
* App launches;
* onboarding events and which onboarding or paywall screens were shown (screen identifiers such as `welcome`, `themes`, or `paywall_plans` — these identify screens, not your display name);
* onboarding experiment assignment (for example an experiment id and variant such as `control` or `challenger_v1`);
* the acquisition source selected by the user;
* paywall views and related purchase-flow events (including spin-wheel or offer-related events where shown);
* purchase attempts and purchase results;
* restore taps;
* product identifiers for subscriptions or one-time unlocks;
* whether onboarding has been completed or the user has reached the main app after onboarding;
* whether Premium is currently active;
* review-prompt related events (for example whether a rating prompt was eligible, shown, or declined);
* App labels we attach to events, including `app` (“Historical Wisdom”) and `platform` (“iOS”).

The App does not send your display name, email address, phone number, saved quotes, search history, selected quote collections, notification content, or location to our analytics database.

We do not intentionally use analytics to determine your city or precise location. We only send the custom events described in this policy.

### Aggregate counters

We may also store anonymous product counters (for example counts of event names by app version) that are **not** tied to your `user_id`. Those aggregate counters may remain after you use **Delete My Data**.

### Analytics purposes

We use analytics to:

* understand how users discover and use the App;
* measure onboarding completion and activation;
* understand interaction with Premium/paywalls;
* measure subscription conversion and restore activity;
* identify technical or product areas that should be improved;
* evaluate the effectiveness of acquisition sources and onboarding experiments.

We do not sell analytics data.

## 5. In-app feedback

Historical Wisdom may let you send product feedback from inside the App (for example Profile → Feedback, or after declining a rating prompt) and may let you vote on individual quotes.

Feedback submissions may include:

* a random, app-specific user identifier;
* feedback source (for example profile or review decline);
* selected topic or intent chips;
* optional free-text notes you choose to write;
* for quote votes: the vote and quote identifier (and related content identifiers needed to understand the vote);
* app version and build;
* iOS version and device model;
* language setting;
* whether Premium is active.

We use this information only to improve Historical Wisdom and respond to product issues. We do not use feedback submissions for advertising tracking.

## 6. Subscriptions and RevenueCat

Historical Wisdom may offer optional auto-renewable subscriptions and/or a one-time Lifetime unlock through Apple's App Store.

Apple processes the App Store transaction and payment. We do not receive or store your full payment card number or other payment credentials used by Apple to process your purchase.

We use RevenueCat as a subscription-management service to determine subscription status and entitlements.

RevenueCat may process information such as:

* an anonymous or app-specific RevenueCat user identifier;
* subscription and entitlement status;
* App Store purchase and receipt-related information;
* product identifiers;
* trial or introductory-offer eligibility;
* restore information;
* relevant SDK/device information;
* the acquisition source attribute that we assign when you provide that information.

RevenueCat is used to provide subscription functionality and determine whether Premium access should be available.

RevenueCat acts as a service provider/processor for customer data we provide to it, subject to the applicable contractual and privacy arrangements. RevenueCat states that customer deletion through its dashboard or API can be used to satisfy GDPR erasure requests.

## 7. Apple and App Store purchases

Apple handles App Store billing, payment processing, and the underlying App Store transaction.

We do not receive your payment card number.

Apple may retain purchase and transaction information according to Apple's own policies and legal obligations. Deleting data from Historical Wisdom or RevenueCat does not delete Apple's independent transaction records.

For information about Apple's handling of your information, please refer to Apple's applicable privacy documentation.

## 8. Notifications and widgets

If you enable reminders, Historical Wisdom may schedule local notifications on your device.

Notification content and scheduling information used by the App are not sent to our analytics providers as analytics data.

Widgets operate through Apple's widget system and may access information shared locally between the App and its widget extension. Widget information is not used as product analytics.

## 9. Information we do not intentionally collect for analytics

Our product analytics does not intentionally collect:

* display names;
* email addresses;
* phone numbers;
* precise location;
* coarse location;
* saved quotes;
* personal lists;
* selected inspirations, periods, or authors as analytics profile fields;
* search history;
* streak details;
* theme or language preferences as analytics profile fields (language may appear on feedback submissions);
* notification content;
* widget content;
* payment card information;
* crash reports through Sentry.

## 10. How we use information

Depending on the information involved and the applicable law, we process information for the following purposes:

* providing and operating Historical Wisdom;
* providing Premium subscription functionality;
* verifying subscription entitlements;
* processing App Store purchases through Apple's systems;
* understanding and improving product usage through analytics;
* reviewing in-app feedback and quote votes;
* maintaining and improving the App;
* responding to privacy or support requests;
* complying with legal obligations;
* protecting the App and our legitimate interests.

Where GDPR applies, the legal basis may include performance of a contract, legitimate interests, consent where required, and compliance with legal obligations.

Where consent is required, you may withdraw it through the relevant App or iOS permission controls, or by contacting us where applicable.

## 11. Third-party service providers

We use selected third-party service providers to operate the App and provide its functionality.

These may include:

* **Apple** — App Store distribution, purchases, billing, subscription management, and operating-system services;
* **Supabase** — product analytics and in-app feedback storage;
* **RevenueCat** — subscription and entitlement management;
* infrastructure providers such as Cloudflare for our deletion service, where applicable.

Quote catalog content is currently shipped with the App. We may use infrastructure providers in the future if we introduce remote content updates.

We require service providers that process information on our behalf to provide appropriate protection for that information as required by applicable law and our agreements with them.

We do not sell your personal information.

## 12. Data deletion

You can request deletion of data associated with your use of Historical Wisdom.

The App provides a **Delete My Data** function under **Profile → Privacy**.

When you use this function, the App captures only the identifiers necessary to identify the relevant records:

* the Wisdom analytics `user_id` associated with the installation; and
* the RevenueCat `app_user_id` associated with the installation.

These identifiers are sent to our secure deletion service solely to process the deletion request.

### What we delete

Our deletion service deletes, for the specified identity:

* analytics profile and event rows in Supabase;
* onboarding screen-reach rows linked to that identity;
* in-app feedback submissions linked to that identity;
* the RevenueCat customer record associated with that identifier (subject to RevenueCat processing).

The App also rotates its local analytics identifier so that the deleted identifier is no longer used for subsequent analytics.

### What deletion does not do

Deleting your Historical Wisdom analytics, feedback, and RevenueCat customer data does **not**:

* cancel an active Apple subscription;
* delete Apple's independent App Store transaction records;
* delete anonymous aggregate product counters that are not tied to your `user_id`.

You must cancel an active subscription through Apple's subscription-management system.

If you continue using Historical Wisdom while an Apple subscription remains active, your Premium entitlement may be restored and a new RevenueCat customer record may be created for the new app identifier.

## 13. Retention

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

Local App data generally remains on your device until you remove it, change it, or delete the App.

Analytics and feedback data linked to your installation identity are deleted when you successfully use **Delete My Data**, subject to processing time and any information that must or may lawfully be retained.

Anonymous aggregate counters may be retained as described above.

Apple controls retention of its own App Store transaction and billing records.

We may retain limited information necessary to document that a deletion request was received and processed, or where retention is required for legal, security, fraud-prevention, accounting, or dispute-resolution purposes.

## 14. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures appropriate to the nature of the information we process.

Supabase and RevenueCat API credentials used for deletion are kept on our server (Cloudflare Worker), not as unrestricted public credentials in the Historical Wisdom App.

No method of transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

## 15. International data transfers

Some service providers we use may process information in countries outside the European Economic Area.

Where required by applicable law, we rely on appropriate legal mechanisms and safeguards for international transfers of personal data.

## 16. Your rights

Where GDPR or other applicable data-protection law applies, you may have rights including:

* the right to access your personal data;
* the right to request correction of inaccurate data;
* the right to request deletion;
* the right to request restriction of processing;
* the right to object to certain processing;
* the right to data portability where applicable;
* the right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

You can use the **Delete My Data** function in the App or contact us at:

**support@bots5lab.com**

We may need to verify a request where reasonably necessary to protect users and prevent unauthorized deletion requests.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data-protection supervisory authority.

For Slovakia, this is the **Office for Personal Data Protection of the Slovak Republic (Úrad na ochranu osobných údajov Slovenskej republiky)**.

## 17. Children

Historical Wisdom is not directed at children under 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so that we can take appropriate action.

## 18. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when our practices, services, or legal obligations change.

We will update the "Last updated" date when we make material changes.
