Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 1, 2026

Our Commitment

Deep End has no ads, no analytics, no tracking and no accounts. The app works offline and everything you do in it stays on your device. The only things that ever leave your phone are purchases, handled by Google Play and RevenueCat, and messages you choose to send us: a problem report, a feature request, a card suggestion or a translation fix.

1. Information Stored on Your Device

Deep End keeps the following locally on your device. We never receive it:

Favorite cards: The questions you save with the heart
Progress: Which cards you have seen, where an unfinished session in each deck stands so you can continue it, and how long your last dive in each deck took
Settings: Whether dive times are shown, whether the weekly question is switched on, and which first-time tips you have already seen
Purchases: A cached list of the decks you own, so locked and unlocked decks work offline
Translation marks: Cards you marked as sounding off in your language, until you send or remove them

2. Information That Leaves Your Device

Purchases. When you buy a deck or restore purchases, Google Play processes the payment and RevenueCat verifies it. RevenueCat assigns an anonymous app user ID (not linked to your name or email) and receives the transaction details from Google Play. We never see your payment details.

Messages you choose to send. Only when you open one of these and press Send, we receive what you wrote:

Problem reports and feature requests: the subject and description you write
Card suggestions: the question you suggest and the deck you picked for it
Translation fixes: the cards you marked, how they read now, and the wording you suggest
Your email address, only if you choose to enter one so we can reply
With every message: the app version, your Android version, phone model and app language, to help us reproduce problems

These messages are stored on AppBear's own server in the European Union (Germany) and are used only to fix problems, plan improvements and improve the cards.

Pictures you share. "Share your dive" creates a picture of your dive on your device (the deck, the depth you reached, time and number of cards; never a question or an answer) and opens Android's share menu with a short text and a link to the app. It goes only to the apps and people you choose. We do not receive it.

3. What We Do Not Do

We do not show ads or use advertising IDs
We do not use analytics, crash reporting or tracking SDKs
We do not send push notifications from a server. The weekly question is scheduled on your phone.
We do not sell or share your personal information
We do not collect your answers: the conversations happen between the people at your table, not in the app

4. Third-Party Services

Google Play: App distribution and payments. See Google's Privacy Policy.
RevenueCat: Verifies purchases and keeps them restorable. See RevenueCat's Privacy Policy.

5. Permissions

Internet: for purchases and for sending a message you choose to send
Google Play billing: to buy decks
Notifications: only asked for when you switch on the weekly question, which shows one question every Friday evening. Switch it off in Settings at any time.
Run at startup: so a scheduled weekly question survives a phone restart
Vibration: for the small taps you feel when cards move

Deep End does not ask for location, contacts, camera, microphone or your files.

6. Age Requirement

Deep End is intended for adults aged 18 and over. Some decks contain questions about relationships, sexuality and other mature topics. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18.

7. Deleting Your Data

On your device: Clear the app's data in Android Settings or uninstall the app. Purchases stay with your Google account and can be restored.

Messages you sent us: Email us at the address below and we will delete your messages, including any email address you gave, within 14 days. A card suggestion we have already added to a deck stays in the deck, without any link to you.

8. Your Privacy Rights (GDPR & CCPA)

For EU/EEA residents (GDPR): You have the right to access, correct, erase, restrict and port your personal data, and to object to its processing.

For California residents (CCPA): You have the right to know what we collect, to have it deleted, and not to be treated differently for exercising your rights. We do not sell personal information.

Legal basis for processing (GDPR): (a) performance of a contract, to deliver and restore the decks you buy, and (b) your consent, when you choose to send us a message.

Because almost everything stays on your device, most of these rights are satisfied automatically. For anything else, contact us at the email below. We will respond within 30 days.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes in the app or by updating the "Last updated" date.
