What Porcelain Pooetry processes

Porcelain Pooetry can use your device location, or a home area you choose, to request a local weather forecast. Precise coordinates are used for that request and are not saved in the Porcelain Pooetry content database. You can skip location access and change this choice in Settings.

The app uses an anonymous Firebase account to retrieve published pooems. Firebase may process a generated account identifier, basic device and network information, and service logs needed to operate and secure the app.

Purchases. When you hire a narrator voice, the store (Apple, Google, or Stripe on the web) handles payment; we never see card details. We keep a record of the purchase — product, price, store transaction reference, and the anonymous account id — so the voice stays unlocked, purchases can be restored, and a Pooetry key can be issued. Gifts and web purchases also keep the email address given at checkout, so keys can be recovered.

Analytics. The app records which screens are opened, which pooems are played, sampled, and shared, tagged with the anonymous account id and an app-instance identifier (Firebase Analytics). This is used only to understand how the app is used. It is not used for advertising, not shared with data brokers, and not used to track you across other companies' apps or sites.

Support. If you write to us through the support form, we keep your message and the reply address you give until the matter is closed.

Data kept on your device

Porcelain Pooetry stores preferences, recently viewed days, published verses, forecast cache, and downloaded narration on your device so the app can work offline. You can clear downloaded audio in Settings. Removing the app clears its local data according to your operating system.

Service providers

Firebase (Google) provides authentication, content delivery, storage, hosting, analytics, and server infrastructure. Apple and Google process store purchases; Stripe processes web purchases and gifts; Brevo delivers our emails. Weather requests are served through Porcelain Pooetry infrastructure and may be fulfilled by Open-Meteo. Their own privacy terms apply to data they process.

Sharing and retention

Porcelain Pooetry does not sell personal information. Service data is shared only with providers needed to operate the app or when required by law. Operational logs are retained according to provider settings; on-device data remains until you clear it or remove the app.

Questions

For privacy questions or to have your device's purchase and analytics records deleted, send us its Pooetry ID (bottom of Settings) through the support page. This notice will be updated when data practices change.
