PodSpot is provided by Xadrez Inverso LDA, operating as FATFIRE Apps ("we", "us", or "our"). This Privacy Policy explains how PodSpot handles information when you use the app.
PodSpot's core Bluetooth device-finding feature runs entirely on your device. We use a small number of third-party services to process purchases, understand how the app is used, and measure advertising performance, described in detail below. We do not sell your personal data.
PodSpot's core function is helping you locate nearby Bluetooth devices, such as headphones and other trackable accessories. The app scans for nearby Bluetooth Low Energy devices and processes device names, device identifiers, and signal strength to estimate proximity. This scanning and matching happens on your device.
PodSpot may request access to your device's precise location to help locate a device or to tag a saved location note (see Section 4). Location access is optional and feature-dependent: some location-based features won't work without it, but you're free to decline the permission. We don't operate any servers of our own, so location data isn't transmitted to us.
PodSpot lets you save notes about a device's location, which may include a device name, a short description, a timestamp, and optionally a location description and a photo. This is stored locally on your device and is not transmitted to us or to any third party. Onboarding answers and app preferences are also stored locally.
PodSpot uses Amplitude, Mixpanel, Kochava, and Meta (Facebook) App Events to understand how the app is used and to measure the effectiveness of advertising. These services may receive an anonymous device identifier, the screens and features you use, and purchase-related events such as package and product identifiers.
Consistent with PodSpot's App Store privacy label, this data may be used to track you across apps and websites operated by other companies. You can opt out at any time through iOS's App Tracking Transparency prompt, or via "Allow Apps to Request to Track" in your device's Privacy & Security settings. If you're a California resident or otherwise covered by a US state privacy law, you can exercise your right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information by emailing fatacquire@gmail.com with the subject line "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information."
If you purchase a subscription or one-time unlock, payment is processed by Apple through the App Store. We do not receive your payment card details, Apple ID password, or full Apple account information.
PodSpot uses RevenueCat to validate your entitlement status. RevenueCat receives your purchase and subscription status, product and package identifiers, and an anonymous customer identifier needed to keep premium features working.
PodSpot uses AppRefer to attribute app installs to the marketing channel or referral source that led you to download the app, and Firebase Remote Config (Google) to remotely deliver feature-flag and paywall values. Neither service stores personal data about you beyond what's described above.
If you're a beta tester, PodSpot may be distributed to you through Apple's TestFlight, which processes your email address and app usage data for that purpose.
PodSpot does not use Apple HealthKit, does not require an account or mailing-list signup, does not send push notifications, does not store your photos or files in the cloud, and does not use crash-reporting or bug-reporting services. It does not use Sign in with Apple or iCloud syncing. The app's bundle may declare a camera permission, but no active feature in the current version uses the camera; if that changes, this policy will be updated first.
Local app data remains on your device until you delete it or uninstall the app. Data held by our third-party service providers is retained according to each provider's own policies, or as needed to meet legal, tax, or fraud-prevention obligations for purchase records.
You can remove app data by deleting the app, or contact us at fatacquire@gmail.com to request deletion of data held by our third-party providers.
Our third-party service providers may process data outside your country of residence, including in the United States. Where required, such transfers rely on appropriate safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses or the provider's own certified compliance mechanisms.
PodSpot is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
PodSpot relies on Apple's on-device security features, including device encryption, and requires our third-party service providers to protect data in transit using HTTPS/TLS encryption.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the effective date above and make the revised policy available through the app or our public policy URL.
