Afterglade Privacy Policy
In short
- Data not collected. Afterglade doesn’t send your personal information to us or to anyone else. What you enter stays on your device.
- No tracking and no ads. Afterglade doesn’t track you across other companies’ apps or websites and doesn’t show ads.
- No analytics or crash-reporting services are built in.
- No account: you don’t sign in, and we don’t know who you are.
- Purchases are handled by Apple. We never see your payment details.
Who we are
Afterglade (“Afterglade: Breakup Journal” on the App Store) is published by Marketgence Technologies LLC (“we”, “us”). This policy explains what happens to your information when you use Afterglade on your iPhone or iPad. Questions: support@marketgence.com.
What stays on your device
Afterglade keeps these on your device, in the app’s own storage that other apps can’t read:
- Everything you write: notes, unsent letters, reflections, timeline moments, pattern observations, boundary plans, contact log entries and Next Chapter items.
- Optional relationship details you choose to enter (for example a nickname).
- Voice notes you record and photos you attach, saved as files with iOS complete data protection.
- Settings such as App Lock, discreet notifications and hidden photos.
- A random identifier the app creates for App Store purchases, kept in this iPhone's Keychain.
We don’t receive this information and can’t see it.
Like other app data, it may be included in your device backups (iCloud Backup or a computer backup) if you use them.
What leaves your device
Nothing that identifies you. Afterglade doesn’t send your personal information to us or to third parties. In App Store terms, the app’s privacy label is “Data Not Collected”.
Permissions
Afterglade asks for these only when you use the feature that needs them. You can change your answer at any time in the Settings app.
| Permission | Why |
|---|---|
| Microphone | Only when you choose to record a private voice note. Recordings stay on your iPhone. |
| Face ID | To unlock Afterglade when you turn on App Lock. The app only gets a yes or no from iOS, never your face data. |
| Notifications | Local reminders you turn on: when a contact pause ends, and an optional boundary check-in. They never include names or anything you wrote. |
Tracking, ads and analytics
Afterglade doesn’t track you: it doesn’t link information about you with information from other companies’ apps, websites or data brokers, and it doesn’t use an advertising identifier.
Afterglade doesn’t show ads.
It has no analytics or crash-reporting services. If you’ve chosen to share analytics with app developers in your iPhone’s settings, Apple may share crash reports with us; Apple doesn’t include your identity.
Accounts
There are no accounts in Afterglade. You don’t sign in or give us your name or email address.
Purchases
Afterglade offers one-time purchases through Apple’s App Store. Apple processes the payment and knows what you bought; we don’t receive your name, email address or payment details. The app checks what you’ve bought on your device with Apple’s StoreKit. Apple’s Privacy Policy applies to the purchase.
Children
Afterglade isn’t directed at children under 13, and it doesn’t collect personal information from anyone.
How long data is kept, and deleting it
Information on your device stays until you delete it. Deleting Afterglade removes the information it keeps in its own storage on your device; copies in your backups remain until you delete those. If you've bought something, a random purchase identifier that the app keeps in the iOS Keychain can stay on the device after the app is deleted, so your purchases can be matched again; it doesn't identify you.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example in the European Union, the United Kingdom or California), you may have the right to know what information we hold about you, to get a copy, to correct or delete it, and to object to how it’s used. Because Afterglade keeps your information on your device, you can see, change and delete it in the app. To make a request or a complaint, email support@marketgence.com. You can also contact your local data-protection authority.
Changes to this policy
If we change how Afterglade handles information, we’ll update this page and its effective date, and list the change below.
- : First version of Afterglade's own privacy policy, published on apps.marketgence.com. Until now the app had no policy of its own: its privacy link pointed to Apple's general privacy policy as a placeholder. This page replaces that link.
