This is the privacy policy for Park It, a worry-management app for iOS. It explains what data the app handles and what we do (and don't do) with it.
The plain version: your worries stay on your phone. We don't read them, store them, sell them, or train anything on them.
Who we are
Park It is published by reiss.dev. You can reach us at reiss.barran@gmail.com for any privacy or data question.
What stays on your device
When you use Park It, the following data is stored locally on your device using the device's secure app sandbox:
- The text of every worry you park.
- Park times, expiry times, and resolution times.
- Bay numbers and ticket numbers.
- Your resolution choices (doesn't matter, sort of, still matters) and any action step you write.
- Your settings (default duration, theme, view mode, haptics on/off, notifications on/off).
- Onboarding state.
This data never leaves your device. We have no servers that store it, and nobody at Park It can read it. Worry text is also used to populate the body of local notifications, which are scheduled and delivered by your device's operating system — never via our servers.
If you delete the app, or use Settings → Data → Reset all data inside the app, this data is permanently removed.
What leaves your device
Park It makes two kinds of network calls — and only these two:
1. RevenueCat (subscriptions)
RevenueCat is a third party we use to manage in-app subscriptions. RevenueCat is contacted when:
- The app launches (to check whether you have an active Park It Plus subscription).
- You tap Subscribe, Restore purchases, or open the paywall.
When the app talks to RevenueCat, RevenueCat sees:
- An anonymous app-user ID generated on first launch (a random UUID — not your name, email, Apple ID, or device serial).
- The product ID you're checking, subscribing to, or restoring.
- Your country, OS version, and app version (to determine pricing and provide their service).
RevenueCat never sees your worries. They have their own privacy policy at revenuecat.com/privacy.
2. Open-Meteo (weather, optional ambience)
The lot's background subtly responds to real weather — light rain renders as rain, sunshine as a sunlit lot. To do this the app calls the free public weather API Open-Meteo roughly every 30 minutes while the app is in use. Open-Meteo sees:
- An approximate location derived from your device's timezone (city-level — e.g. "Amsterdam", not your precise coordinates). Park It never reads GPS, never requests location permission, and never sees a precise location.
- No identifier, no account, no token. The request is anonymous and shared with every other Park It user in your timezone.
If you'd rather the app not call Open-Meteo, the next app update will add an opt-out under Settings → Lot atmosphere. In the meantime, blocking the domain api.open-meteo.com at the network level (e.g. via a Pi-hole or your router) is harmless — the lot simply renders with sun-driven atmosphere only.
Open-Meteo's privacy policy is at open-meteo.com/en/privacy.
What Apple sees (in-app purchases)
When you buy a subscription, the transaction itself is handled by Apple's StoreKit. Apple sees your Apple ID and payment details. We never see those — we only learn that somebody with this anonymous ID successfully purchased this product.
Apple's privacy practices are described at apple.com/legal/privacy.
What we don't do
- No analytics SDKs. No Firebase, no Mixpanel, no Amplitude, nothing. We don't track screen views, taps, or session length.
- No advertising. No ads, no ad SDKs, no ad identifiers, no IDFA prompt.
- No tracking across apps or websites.
- No selling, sharing, or licensing your data to anyone.
- No machine learning or AI training on your worries. We never see them, so this isn't possible.
- No newsletters, marketing emails, or push notifications from us. The only notifications you get are local expiry reminders for the worries you parked.
Children
Park It is not designed for, marketed to, or directed at children. We don't knowingly collect any data from children under 13. If you believe a child has used the app and we have somehow received their data through RevenueCat, contact us and we'll work with you to delete it.
Your rights
- Delete everything: Settings → Data → Reset all data, or delete the app.
- Cancel your subscription: Settings → Subscription → Manage subscription (deep-links to your Apple ID subscription page).
- Ask a question: email reiss.barran@gmail.com — we'll reply within a reasonable time.
If you're in the EU/UK, you also have the right to a copy of your data, the right to have it corrected, and the right to lodge a complaint with your data protection authority. Since the only data we have access to via third parties is what's in RevenueCat, we'd direct you to revenuecat.com/privacy for their data subject request process. The data on your device is yours — you already have full access to it through the app, and you can export the released archive via Settings → Data → Export released archive (Plus only).
Changes to this policy
If we change anything material, we'll update the Last updated date at the top and surface a notice in the app before the change takes effect. The current policy is always available at the URL Apple sees in the App Store listing.
