Welcome to Wax Journal, a mobile application ("App") developed by Elder Software ("we," "our," or "us"). This Privacy Policy is designed to help you understand how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your personal information in connection with your use of the Wax Journal App. By using the Wax Journal App, you consent to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the practices described herein, please do not use the App.
We collect the following information when you use the Wax Journal App: - **Subscription Information:** Your email address when you purchase a monthly or yearly subscription. - **Cloud Sync Data:** Journal entries you create, including surf spots, weather conditions, and notes about your sessions, if you enable cloud sync. - **Locally Stored Data:** Any information you input into the App that is not synced to the cloud is stored securely on your device. We do not collect additional personal information beyond what is necessary for these features.
We use the information we collect as follows: - **Subscription Information:** Your email address is used to manage your monthly or yearly subscription, including processing payments and confirming your subscription status. - **Cloud Sync Data:** Your journal entries are synced to the cloud to enable access across your devices. - **Locally Stored Data:** Information stored on your device is used solely to provide the App’s journaling functionality and is not accessed by us unless synced to the cloud.
We share your information with the following third parties to provide the App’s functionality: - **RevenueCat:** Processes your email address and payment details for subscription management via Google Play Billing and Apple In-App Purchases. RevenueCat stores your subscription data on our behalf. - **Supabase:** Stores your journal entries if you enable cloud sync. We do not disclose, sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your information to any other third parties, including for marketing or analytics purposes.
We understand the importance of data security and have implemented reasonable technical, administrative, and physical measures to protect the information you provide. Subscription payments are processed securely through Google Play Billing and Apple In-App Purchases via RevenueCat. For cloud sync data stored with Supabase, we rely on their security practices. [Note: We strongly recommend enabling encryption for data in transit and at rest. If implemented, we will update this section to reflect the specific encryption methods used.] However, no data transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. If you have concerns about the security of your information, please contact us using the information in the "Contact Us" section below.
We retain your subscription data and cloud sync data for up to one year after your subscription ends or you stop using the App, unless you request earlier deletion. If you delete your account, all associated cloud sync data stored with Supabase will be permanently deleted. Locally stored data on your device will remain unless you manually delete it or uninstall the App.
Before collecting your email for subscriptions or syncing your journal entries to the cloud, we will request your consent through in-app prompts or settings. You may opt out of cloud sync at any time via the App’s settings, and your locally stored data will remain unaffected. To delete your account and associated cloud data, please contact us as outlined below.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the revised policy on our website or through the App.
