The Short Version

Proofed does not collect, store, or transmit your writing. Your text never leaves your device. We don't know who you are, what you write, or how often you use the app. This is the whole point.

1. What Data We Collect

Data we do NOT collect

• Your text, documents, or any writing you enter into Proofed
• Your name, email address, or any personal identifiers
• Your device identifiers (IDFA, IDFV, etc.)
• Your location
• Crash reports or analytics (no analytics SDK is installed)
• Usage patterns, session length, or feature usage

Data processed exclusively on your device

Proofed's grammar checking, text rewriting, and tone adjustment features are powered by Apple's Foundation Models framework. This framework processes text entirely on your iPhone using on-device AI. No text is sent to Apple, to Pragmatiq, or to any third party as part of this processing.

2. Third-Party Services

RevenueCat (Subscription Management)

Proofed uses RevenueCat to manage paid subscriptions (Proofed Pro). RevenueCat processes the following data on our behalf, solely for the purpose of managing your subscription:

• A randomly generated anonymous identifier (not linked to your identity)
• Purchase transaction data (processed by Apple's App Store, not stored by us)
• Subscription status (active, expired, trial)

RevenueCat does not have access to your name, email, or any writing you enter into Proofed. Their privacy policy is available at revenuecat.com/privacy.

Apple App Store

When you download Proofed or make a purchase, Apple's standard App Store privacy practices apply. Pragmatiq does not receive your payment details. Apple's privacy policy is available at apple.com/legal/privacy.

3. On-Device Storage

Proofed stores the following data locally on your device only:

• App preferences — your chosen theme and in-app settings
• Subscription status — cached locally so the app works offline
• Daily usage counter — tracks free checks used today (resets at midnight, never transmitted)

This data is stored using Apple's standard UserDefaults system, remains exclusively on your device, and is never backed up to iCloud.

4. Analytics

Proofed contains no analytics SDK. We do not use Firebase, Mixpanel, Amplitude, Crashlytics, or any equivalent service. We have no visibility into how the app is used, how often it is opened, or what features are accessed.

We may review aggregated, anonymised App Store Connect data (total download counts and iOS-submitted crash reports) provided by Apple. This data does not include any user-identifiable information or writing content.

5. Children's Privacy

Proofed does not knowingly collect any personal information from children under 13. Because we collect no personal data from any users, there is no additional exposure for younger users.

6. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for advertising, marketing, or any commercial purpose. There is no data to share beyond what RevenueCat processes for subscription management (see Section 2).

7. Data Retention

We do not retain your data because we do not receive it. Your writing is processed on your device and never transmitted. Your app preferences are stored locally and deleted when you uninstall Proofed.

8. Your Rights

Because we do not collect personal data, most data subject rights do not apply in the traditional sense — there is simply nothing stored about you on our systems.

EU/EEA Users (GDPR): Our lawful basis for processing RevenueCat subscription data is contractual necessity (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR). No consent is required for data we do not collect.

California Users (CCPA): We do not sell personal information. We do not share personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising.

9. Security

Because your writing is processed entirely on-device and never transmitted, the primary risk of a server-side breach does not apply to Proofed. Your data is only as secure as your iPhone itself, protected by Apple's hardware and software security mechanisms.

10. Changes to This Policy

If we change this privacy policy in a material way, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top and, where appropriate, notify you through an in-app notice.

Proofed is built on a simple principle: your writing is yours. We intend to keep it that way.
