Effective Date: June 20, 2026
JudeWorks ("JudeWorks," "we," "us," or "our") builds apps and related support services. This Privacy Policy explains our privacy practices for apps and services that link to this policy.
Our general approach is simple: we do not try to identify you, track you across apps or websites, sell your personal information, or collect more information than we need to make our apps and services work.
Summary
Unless a specific app says otherwise:
- Our apps do not require you to create a JudeWorks account.
- We do not collect your name, email address, contacts, photos, precise location, health data, financial information, or payment card information through the app.
- We do not sell personal information.
- We do not use third-party advertising networks.
- We do not use data for cross-app or cross-site tracking advertising.
- Most app data you create or store remains on your device or in services you choose, such as Apple services or iCloud, depending on the app and your settings.
Limited Operational Data
Some JudeWorks apps may contact our Shipyard service to check for app updates, roadmap items, announcements, feedback prompts, support links, or basic app activity counts.
When this happens, we may receive limited operational data such as:
- the app or product identifier;
- an app-generated installation identifier;
- platform, app version, build number, and ShipyardKit version;
- the date and time of a request;
- basic interaction events, such as whether an in-app announcement was shown, dismissed, or clicked; and
- responses you choose to submit to an in-app prompt, poll, rating, or feedback request.
We use this information to operate the app features you see, understand whether apps are active, troubleshoot issues, improve app quality, and avoid showing the same prompt or announcement repeatedly. We do not use this operational data to identify you by name, and we do not sell it.
Information You Choose to Provide
If you contact us for support, send feedback, submit a request, respond to an in-app question, join a waitlist, or otherwise choose to provide information, we may receive the information you submit. This may include your message, feedback, selected options, rating, email address if you provide one, and related context needed to respond or operate the requested feature.
We use information you provide to respond to you, provide support, improve our apps, manage requests, and maintain the relevant service.
Purchases and Subscriptions
If an app offers purchases or subscriptions through the App Store, payment processing is handled by Apple. We do not receive your full payment card number. Apple may provide us with purchase status, subscription status, product identifiers, transaction identifiers, receipts, or similar information needed to unlock paid features, provide support, prevent fraud, and comply with App Store requirements.
Device Permissions
Some apps may ask for permission to use device features such as notifications, files, camera, microphone, photos, contacts, calendars, or location. A permission request does not mean we collect that data. In many cases, the data stays on your device and is used only for the feature you choose.
If a specific app collects or transmits permission-based data in a way that is different from this general policy, that app should provide a separate or more specific notice.
You can change app permissions in your device settings.
Analytics, Diagnostics, and Logs
We may use limited analytics, diagnostics, crash reports, server logs, and App Store data to understand app reliability, feature usage, performance, and distribution. This may include aggregated App Store analytics from Apple and basic technical logs created when our services are accessed.
We try to keep this data limited and operational. We do not use it for third-party advertising or tracking.
Sharing
We do not sell personal information. We may share limited information only in these situations:
- Service providers. We use providers that help us host, operate, secure, analyze, support, or improve our apps and services.
- Apple and platform providers. We may share or receive information needed for App Store distribution, purchases, subscriptions, diagnostics, and platform compliance.
- Legal and safety reasons. We may disclose information if needed to comply with law, respond to legal process, protect rights and safety, investigate fraud or security issues, or enforce our policies.
- With your direction or consent. We may share information when you ask us to or use a feature that sends information to another service.
Retention
We keep information only as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described in this policy, including operating the services, maintaining records, troubleshooting, preventing abuse, complying with law, and resolving disputes.
Operational app activity data may be kept in aggregated or limited form for product analytics and reliability. Support messages, feedback, requests, and purchase-related records may be kept as needed to provide support and maintain business records.
Your Choices
You can control many privacy choices through your device settings, including app permissions, notifications, analytics sharing, and app data deletion.
If you want to ask about, correct, or delete information you provided to us, contact us using the support link below. We may need to verify your request before acting on it.
Children
Our apps and services are not directed to children under 13 unless a specific app says otherwise. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child provided personal information to us, please contact us so we can review and delete it where required.
Security
We use reasonable safeguards designed to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
International Processing
JudeWorks is based in the United States. Information may be processed in the United States and other countries where we or our service providers operate.
Changes
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the effective date and may provide additional notice where required.
