Privacy policy
Introspect helps you pause before you buy. Here’s exactly what that involves, in plain language.
The short version
- No account and no ads. We never sell your data.
- Your items, answers and decisions are saved on your iPhone.
- To write an item’s analysis, its name, price and your card answers are sent to Introspect’s server and to an AI service.
- Introspect collects anonymous usage statistics to see which features are used.
Who we are
Introspect is made by Jack Cornet Paterson, an independent developer based in Spain, who is responsible for your data under this policy. You can reach us at support@get-introspect.app.
What Introspect uses, and why
On your iPhone. The items you add (name, price, photo or emoji), your card answers, cooldowns, decisions, reviews and settings such as your name, hourly rate and currency are saved on your device. They aren’t uploaded to an account.
Item analysis. When you add an item, its name, price and the cards you agreed or disagreed with are sent to Introspect’s server and to a trusted AI service provider that writes the analysis. They process it only to return the result to you, and it isn’t used to train AI models. Your name isn’t sent.
Blocking shopping apps. If you choose apps or websites to block, Introspect uses Apple’s Screen Time. Apple only gives the app anonymous tokens for your choices, so we can’t see which apps you picked, and nothing about them leaves your device.
Friend verification. If you ask a friend, Introspect’s server stores the item’s name, price, emoji and currency, your first name and your device’s push token, so your friend can see the request and you can get their answer. Requests expire.
Notifications. If you allow notifications, Introspect registers your device’s push token and uses Apple Push Notification service for reminders and friend answers. You can turn notifications off at any time in the iPhone Settings app.
Usage statistics. Introspect uses Google Analytics for Firebase to count events such as an item being added or a check-in being completed, with details like a price range and the length of the cooldown. Item names and your answers aren’t included. Google receives device information and an app instance ID; see Google’s privacy policy.
Purchases
Introspect Pro is sold through Apple, which handles payment. We never see your card details. Introspect uses RevenueCat to check which features you’ve unlocked and to restore purchases; RevenueCat receives an anonymous app user ID, your purchase history and basic device information. See RevenueCat’s privacy policy.
If you email us
If you write to support@get-introspect.app, we use your email address and what you send only to reply. We don’t add you to a mailing list.
This website
get-introspect.app has no cookies, analytics or trackers. It’s hosted on Cloudflare, which processes basic technical data such as IP addresses to deliver and protect the site.
How long we keep data
Data on your iPhone stays until you delete it or remove Introspect. Friend requests and push tokens on Introspect’s server are kept only while they support a feature; to have them deleted, email us. Purchase records are kept by Apple and RevenueCat, and usage statistics by Google, under their own policies.
Your rights
Under the GDPR and similar laws, you can ask to access, correct or delete your personal data, object to its use, or receive a copy. Email support@get-introspect.app and we’ll reply within 30 days. You can also complain to your data protection authority. In Spain, that’s the Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (aepd.es).
Children
Introspect isn’t aimed at children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect personal data from them.
Changes
If this policy changes, we’ll update this page and the date at the top. If a change affects how your data is handled, we’ll tell you in the app first.
