Privacy Policy
What you write stays on your device and in your own iCloud — we never see it. The free version shows ads from Google, outside the writing screen; unless you allow tracking when iOS asks, they are non-personalized. Subscribers and lifetime owners never see ads.
What stays with you
- Your works. Every poem you write is saved on your device. If you are signed in to iCloud, it also syncs through your own private iCloud storage so it appears on your other devices. That storage belongs to your Apple Account; we cannot read it, and nothing in a work identifies you.
- Your brush strokes. The raw touch and pencil data from each stroke is used only in memory to draw the ink, then discarded. It is never saved or sent anywhere.
- Your settings. Preferences are kept on the device and synced through your own iCloud, the same way.
If you sign out of iCloud or turn off iCloud for Flying White, iOS removes the synced copies from that device. Works that finished syncing come back when you sign in again with the same Apple Account.
Sharing
When you tap Share, the image of your work is made on your device and handed to the iOS share sheet. It carries no location or other hidden data, and it goes only where you choose to send it.
Purchases
Payments are handled entirely by Apple. We receive no payment details, no card numbers and no billing address.
To know whether you have unlocked all poems, the app uses RevenueCat, a subscription service. RevenueCat receives your purchase and subscription history under a random ID created for this app. That ID is not linked to your name, email, Apple Account or any other identity, and we never attach any personal details to it. See RevenueCat’s privacy policy.
Ads in the free version
Only the free version shows ads. They are served by Google AdMob, appear outside the writing screen, and only after the app has been installed for three days — except when you choose to watch a short ad to open a locked poem. Once you subscribe or buy lifetime access, all ads stop, and Google’s ad code is never started for you again.
Tracking permission. Three days after installing, just before the first ad would appear, iOS asks whether Flying White may let Google use your device’s advertising identifier to track you across other companies’ apps and websites. If you allow it, Google may show ads personalized to you. If you ask the app not to track, the advertising identifier stays unavailable and the ads are non-personalized — chosen from the context of the app, not from a profile of you. You can change your answer any time in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking. Free features work the same either way.
To serve and measure ads, Google’s ad code on your device sends Google:
- a device identifier — including the advertising identifier if you allowed tracking — which Google may use for advertising across other companies’ apps;
- your approximate location, estimated from your IP address;
- which ads were shown and how you interacted with them and with the app around them;
- crash, performance and other diagnostic data from the ad code.
We don’t receive any of this, and we never give Google your works, your strokes or anything about who you are. See how Google uses information from apps that use its services and Google’s privacy policy.
Flying White does not use ad networks other than Google.
Your choices in the EEA and UK. If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, Google’s consent form asks for your choice before any ad is requested. You can change it any time in Flying White’s Settings, under Privacy Choices.
Flying White contains no analytics of its own.
Children
Flying White is not directed at children. It has no accounts, no chat, no user-to-user content and no social features. Ads in the free version are rated for general audiences.
Your rights
Your works live on your devices and in your iCloud, so they are yours to remove: deleting the app removes them from that device, and you can erase the app’s iCloud data in iOS Settings under your name, then iCloud. The only record we can reach is the anonymous purchase history; if you want it erased, write to us and we will delete it. Data that Google’s ad code collects is held by Google under its privacy policy; you can turn tracking off any time in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking, and in the EEA and UK you can withdraw consent any time under Privacy Choices.
Changes
If a future version of Flying White collects anything new, this page will be updated before that version ships, and the date at the top will tell you when.
