Privacy Policy for Ounces and Ounces+ Mobile Apps
Effective Date: April 16, 2025
I, Tyler Marsh, an individual operating as a sole proprietor doing business as Marsh Capital (“I,” “me,” or “my”), am committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how I collect, use, disclose, and protect your information when you use my mobile applications, Ounces and Ounces+ (collectively, the “Apps”), available on iOS and Android platforms globally. The Apps are designed to help users track their physical precious metals and bullion. By using the Apps, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
1. Information I Collect
I collect minimal information necessary to provide the Apps’ services, as described below:
a. Information You Provide
- Ounces+ Subscription: When you subscribe to Ounces+ through the Apple App Store or Google Play, I collect limited information required to process your subscription, such as your transaction ID. I do not collect payment information (e.g., credit card details) directly.
- No other personal information, such as your name, email, or contact details, is collected unless you contact me directly.
b. Automatically Collected Information
- I do not collect device information, usage data, or other identifiers automatically.
c. Sensitive Data
- I do not collect sensitive data, such as health or financial information, beyond the transaction ID required for Ounces+ subscriptions.
d. Children’s Data
- The Apps are not directed to children under 13. I do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If I learn such data has been collected, I will delete it promptly.
e. Location Data
- I do not collect location data.
2. How I Use Your Information
I use the limited information I collect solely to:
- Process and manage Ounces+ subscriptions through the Apple App Store or Google Play.
- Respond to user inquiries or support requests, if applicable.
- Comply with legal obligations.
I do not use your information for analytics, marketing, or other purposes.
3. How I Share Your Information
I do not sell or share your personal information with third parties, except as follows:
- App Stores: Subscription data for Ounces+ is processed by Apple or Google, depending on your platform. I do not directly access or store payment information. Please review the privacy policies of the Apple App Store (https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/) or Google Play (https://policies.google.com/privacy) for details.
- Legal Requirements: I may disclose your information to comply with applicable laws, regulations, or legal processes, or to protect my rights and safety.
- Business Transfers: If I transfer ownership of the Apps (e.g., through a sale), your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
4. Third-Party Services
- Google Ads (Ounces Only): The free version of Ounces uses Google Ads to display non-personalized advertisements. Non-personalized ads do not rely on user-specific data (e.g., advertising IDs or personal identifiers) and are based on contextual information, such as the content of the App. Google may collect limited data to serve these ads, as outlined in Google’s Privacy Policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy). Ounces+ is ad-free and does not use Google Ads.
- App Stores (Ounces+ Only): For Ounces+ subscriptions, payment processing is handled by the Apple App Store or Google Play. I do not directly access or store payment information. Please review the privacy policies of the Apple App Store (https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/) or Google Play (https://policies.google.com/privacy) for details.
- Other Services: I do not use additional third-party services (e.g., analytics tools, crash reporting, or push notifications) in either App.
5. Your Choices and Rights
You have the following rights regarding your information:
- Subscription Management: You can manage or cancel your Ounces+ subscription directly through the Apple App Store or Google Play.
- Data Access and Deletion: Since I collect minimal data (only subscription transaction IDs), you may request access to or deletion of this data by contacting me at info@ouncesapp.com (info@ouncesapp.com). As data is primarily managed by the app stores, I may direct you to their processes for certain requests.
- Opt-Out: The Apps do not collect data for advertising or analytics, so no opt-out for such purposes is necessary.
GDPR (EU Residents): If you are in the European Economic Area, you have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or object to the processing of your data, and the right to data portability. Given my minimal data collection, most requests will involve confirming that no personal data is stored or directing you to the app stores. You may also lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
CCPA (California Residents): You have the right to know what personal information I collect, use, disclose, or sell, and to request deletion or opt out of the sale of your data. I do not sell your personal information, and my data collection is limited to subscription transaction IDs.
6. Data Storage and Security
- Storage: All user data entered in the Apps (e.g., precious metals tracking information) is stored locally on your device. I do not store or process this data on servers or in the cloud. Subscription transaction IDs are managed by the Apple App Store or Google Play.
- Security: Since data is stored on your device, security depends on your device’s protections (e.g., passcode, encryption). I do not implement additional security measures, as I do not collect or store data on servers.
- Retention: I do not retain your data beyond what is stored on your device or managed by the app stores. If you uninstall the Apps, locally stored data is deleted. Subscription data retention is governed by the app stores’ policies.
7. International Data Transfers
The Apps are available globally. Subscription data processed by the Apple App Store or Google Play may be transferred to and stored in countries outside your region, such as the United States. I do not directly control these transfers, but Apple and Google ensure compliance with applicable data protection laws, such as GDPR’s standard contractual clauses. Since I do not store or process other data, no additional international transfers occur.
8. Changes to This Privacy Policy
I may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in my practices or legal requirements. I will notify you of material changes by posting the updated policy in the Apps or via other reasonable means. The updated policy will take effect upon posting, with the new effective date noted.
