Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

ViralSpark is available as an iOS app and a web app. What data we collect depends on which platform you use.

iOS App

The iOS app does not require account creation. The following data is stored locally on your device only and never transmitted to our servers:

• Content generation history (last 50 items)
• Subscription status and usage counters
• App preferences and settings

Web App

The web app similarly stores generation history, usage counters, and preferences in your browser's localStorage — on your device only. If you subscribe to a Pro plan via the web app, we additionally collect:

• Your email address — required by Stripe for payment processing and used to identify and restore your subscription
• Subscription status (plan type, renewal date) — stored locally in your browser after verification

We do not create user accounts, store passwords, or maintain server-side user profiles.

2. How Your Inputs Are Used

When you generate content, your inputs (topics, keywords, tone preferences, content type) are securely transmitted to our AI backend for processing. This data is used solely to produce your content result and is not stored on our servers after processing.

We recommend that you do not include sensitive or personally identifiable information in your generation inputs (e.g. full names, addresses, financial details).

3. Subscription & Payment Data

iOS App (Apple)

In-app purchases on iOS are handled entirely by Apple via the App Store. We do not receive, store, or process your payment card information. Apple may share anonymized purchase receipts with us solely for subscription validation purposes.

Web App (Stripe)

Web subscriptions are processed by Stripe, Inc., a PCI-DSS-certified payment processor. When you subscribe via the web app:

• Your email address and payment details are collected and processed by Stripe. We do not receive or store your full card number.
• Stripe stores your customer record (email, subscription status, billing history) on their servers, subject to Stripe's Privacy Policy.
• We use your email address only to verify and restore your subscription — we do not use it for marketing without your consent.

4. Analytics & Diagnostics

We may use anonymized, aggregated analytics to improve the Service experience. This data:

• Cannot be used to identify you personally
• Does not include your content or generation inputs
• Is used only to diagnose issues and improve performance

5. Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. Data is only shared with the following service providers:

• ViralSpark AI — Our proprietary AI engine powers real-time content generation. Your inputs are processed securely and are not stored after use.
• Apple — For iOS payment processing and subscription management.
• Stripe, Inc. — For web payment processing and subscription management. Stripe operates as a data processor under their own Privacy Policy.

All third-party providers are contractually required to use your data only to provide their services and not for any other purpose.

6. Data Retention

iOS App: All data is stored locally on your device. Uninstalling ViralSpark removes all locally stored data. We do not maintain server-side user records or generation logs.

Web App: Generation history, usage counters, and subscription status are stored in your browser's localStorage and can be cleared by clearing your browser data. Your email and subscription record may be retained by Stripe as the payment processor for billing and compliance purposes. You may request deletion of your Stripe data by contacting us.

7. Cookies & Local Storage

The ViralSpark web app uses localStorage (not cookies) to save your preferences, usage history, and subscription status entirely on your device. We do not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or cross-site tracking technologies.

8. Children's Privacy

ViralSpark is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately at hello.viralspark@gmail.com.

9. Your Rights & Data Deletion

You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data. Depending on the platform:

• iOS App: Delete all local data via the "Delete Account" option in Settings, or by uninstalling the app.
• Web App: Clear your browser's localStorage to remove all locally stored data. To request deletion of your subscription record from Stripe, contact us at hello.viralspark@gmail.com and we will process your request within 30 days.

10. Security

We take reasonable technical measures to protect your data. All communication with our AI backend and payment processors is conducted over encrypted HTTPS connections. Stripe is PCI-DSS Level 1 certified — the highest level of payment security certification. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify users of significant changes through in-app notifications or by updating this page. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
