Privacy policy

Owlturn is a quiz app for iPhone, and owlturn.app is its website. Both are run by Gil Sheinfeld, an independent developer in Israel ("we"). This page explains what information is stored, where, and why. If this English version and the Hebrew version differ, the Hebrew version applies.

In short

• The app has no sign-up, accounts, ads or tracking tools.
• Your progress and settings stay on your device.
• If you joined the waitlist on the website, we keep your email address only to tell you once that the app is available.

What the app doesn't collect

The app doesn't ask for your name, phone number, email address, location, contacts or photos. It shows no ads, doesn't track you across apps and websites, and uses no third-party analytics or tracking tools.

What stays on your device

Your answers, your progress, streaks and ranks in each field, the feedback style you chose, downloaded cases and your purchase status are stored only on your device. They're never sent to us. Deleting the app deletes them.

Purchases

Purchases go through Apple, and we never see your payment details. To download every case, the app sends our server the signed purchase confirmation Apple issued. The server checks it, sends the cases and doesn't keep the confirmation.

Sharing a case and reporting a mistake

Sharing a case opens the iPhone share sheet, and we don't know whether, where or with whom you shared it. Reporting a mistake opens your email app with a message to us, and you decide what to send.

The website waitlist

If you left your address on the website, we keep the address, the language of the page you signed up from, the time you signed up and the version of the text you agreed to. We use the address only to send you one message when Owlturn is available on the App Store. We send nothing else, and we never share, rent or sell the address to anyone.

We delete the list after sending that message, and no later than a year after you signed up. You can ask us to remove your address at any time by writing to support@owlturn.app.

The website

The website uses no cookies, analytics, ads or third-party scripts. Fonts and images load from the website itself.

Service providers

• Cloudflare hosts the website and the server, runs the domain's DNS, stores the waitlist in a database in Europe and forwards email sent to support@owlturn.app.
• Apple distributes the app and handles purchases and refunds.
• Google provides the inbox your messages reach.

Like any internet service, Cloudflare processes technical information such as IP addresses and request times to run and protect the service, for example to limit repeated sign-up attempts, and keeps technical logs for a few days. We don't store your IP address or use this information to identify you.

Writing to us

If you write to us, we use your email address and message only to reply and to fix what you reported.

Your rights

Under Israel's Privacy Protection Law, and under the GDPR if it applies to you, you can ask to see, correct or delete the information we hold about you, or withdraw your consent. In practice that is only the address you left on the waitlist and any emails you sent us. Write to support@owlturn.app and we'll reply within a month. You can also contact Israel's Privacy Protection Authority or the supervisory authority where you live.

Security

All communication with the website and the server is encrypted (HTTPS), and access to the waitlist is limited to us.

Changes

If this policy changes, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
