Privacy Policy for Joppling

1. Who we are

Joppling is published by U-Things, an independent app studio. This policy describes how the Joppling iOS and Android app handles your information.

If you have any questions about this policy, contact us at contact@u-things.com.

2. The short version

• We do not collect your name, email, or any personal identifier.
• We do not create accounts or user profiles.
• Your task text is never sent to our servers or stored anywhere outside your device.
• We collect only anonymous, aggregate usage counts (not linked to you).
• We do not sell data. We do not run ads. We do not share data with third-party marketers.

3. Data we collect

3.1 Task text

The text you type into Joppling is sent to our AI backend solely to generate your 3 micro-steps. It is not logged, not stored, and not associated with any identifier. When your session ends, that text is gone.

3.2 Anonymous aggregate analytics

We capture a small number of anonymous event counts to understand how the app is used at a product level. Each event record contains only:

• An event name from a closed list: route_view, generate_request, buy_intent, bail_out.
• A coarse platform label: android, ios, or other.

No task text, no device identifiers, no IP address, no user identifier, and no personal data of any kind is included in these events. Collection is best-effort: if it fails (offline, network error), the event is silently dropped and the app continues normally.

Events are stored in Cloudflare Workers Analytics Engine, a privacy-preserving aggregate analytics product. See Cloudflare's Privacy Policy for details of their data handling.

3.3 License / nag counter

Joppling uses a WinRAR-style optional license. The app counts the cumulative number of micro-step generation requests on your device using your device's local storage (SharedPreferences on Android, NSUserDefaults on iOS). This counter is a single integer. It contains no task text and no personal data. It never leaves your device.

4. AI processing

When you submit a task, the text is sent over HTTPS to a Cloudflare Worker operated by U-Things, which forwards it to xAI (the company behind the Grok AI model) to generate your 3 micro-steps. The request is not logged at the Worker level. xAI may process the text according to their own terms and privacy policy. See xAI's Privacy Policy. We recommend not entering sensitive personal information as your task text.

5. In-app purchases

If you choose to purchase a Joppling license, the transaction is handled entirely by Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play). We do not process payments ourselves and do not receive your payment card details.

Purchase validation uses RevenueCat, a third-party service that receives a purchase receipt token (no personally identifying data is sent by us). See RevenueCat's Privacy Policy.

6. Children

Joppling does not knowingly collect any information from children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age of digital consent in your country). The app does not collect personal data from any user, making it broadly safe for all ages; however, it is not specifically directed at children.

7. Data retention and deletion

Because we do not store personal data, there is nothing to delete. The local nag counter stored on your device can be cleared by uninstalling the app. Aggregate analytics records are not linked to you and cannot be individually deleted.

8. Your rights

Under GDPR, CCPA, and similar regulations you have rights regarding your personal data. Since Joppling does not collect or store personal data, most requests of this nature do not apply. If you have a privacy concern or question, contact us at contact@u-things.com and we will respond within 30 days.

9. Third-party services summary

10. Changes to this policy

If we materially change this policy, we will update the effective date above and, where appropriate, provide notice through the app. Continued use of Joppling after a policy update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
