Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

BearWare Software ("BearWare," "we," "us," or "our") develops and distributes native Apple platform applications. This Privacy Policy describes how we handle information in connection with our apps and this website.

If you have questions, contact us here.

2. Information We Collect

BearWare apps may collect anonymous, aggregated usage data for the sole purposes of analytics, bug detection, and quality assurance. This data is non-identifying and cannot be used to trace activity back to any individual. It may include:

• App version and platform information (e.g., iOS version, device model class)
• Crash reports and error logs
• Anonymous feature usage events (e.g., which screens are opened, session length)
• Performance metrics (e.g., load times, memory usage)

We do not collect:

• Your name, email address, or any contact information (unless you contact us directly)
• Location data
• Health or financial data
• Any data used to build a profile or personalize advertising
• Any data transmitted to third-party advertising networks

3. How We Use Data

Any data we collect is used exclusively to:

• Diagnose and fix bugs and crashes
• Understand how features are used so we can improve them
• Monitor app stability and performance

We do not use any collected data to serve advertisements, build user profiles, or make automated decisions about individuals.

4. Data Sharing and Third Parties

We do not sell, rent, or trade any data. We have no advertising partners. We do not share data with third parties for commercial purposes.

We may use trusted service providers (such as crash reporting or analytics platforms) solely to process data on our behalf for the purposes described above. These providers are contractually prohibited from using data for any other purpose.

5. Advertising

BearWare apps contain no advertising. We do not integrate any advertising SDKs or participate in ad networks. No data is collected for advertising purposes.

6. Data Retention

Anonymous usage and diagnostic data is retained only as long as it is needed for quality assurance and improvement purposes, after which it is deleted or permanently anonymized.

7. Children's Privacy

Our apps are not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from children. If you believe we have inadvertently collected data from a child, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.

8. Your Rights

Because we do not collect personal information, there is generally no personal data to access, correct, or delete. If you have contacted us previously and wish to request deletion of that correspondence, reach out via our contact form.

If you are located in the European Economic Area or California, and believe you have a privacy right that applies to you, please reach out and we will respond promptly.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the effective date at the top of this page. Continued use of our apps after any change constitutes acceptance of the updated policy. We will not make material changes without providing notice within our apps where reasonably practical.
