Privacy Policy
This policy explains how Seweryn Michalak handles information when you use Eden.
1. Summary
Eden does not sell personal information, show third-party advertising, or use data for cross-app advertising. The app uses privacy-focused product analytics and uses Apple and RevenueCat to provide and manage a subscription required for access to the main app features after onboarding, including any eligible free trial.
2. Information handled by the app
Quiz activity, progress, and profile
Eden stores quiz answers, progress, streaks, saved reflections, preferences, and profile customisation needed to provide the learning experience. Most app activity is stored locally. If you choose an online feature such as ranking or Sign in with Apple, Apple provides an app-scoped account identifier and any name or relay email you choose to share. Ranking data and account state may be stored by the connected Apple service.
Telemetry events may include anonymous quiz-session completion, answer outcomes in aggregate, streak interactions, feature use, and subscription events. We do not send the text of personal reflections or quiz free-text entries to TelemetryDeck.
iCloud synchronization
When iCloud is available on your device, Eden can synchronize supported progress, Bible reading history, saved reflections, and settings through Apple’s iCloud and private CloudKit storage associated with your Apple Account. We do not receive your iCloud password or store this content on our own servers. Apple processes and stores synchronized data under its own privacy policy.
External Bible links
Eden opens Bible passages and daily texts in JW Library or on JW.ORG/WOL outside the app. These services are operated by their respective providers and apply their own privacy policies. Opening a link does not send your saved reflections to them.
App preferences and local data
Preferences and the content needed to operate the app are stored on your device. They remain there until replaced, cleared, or the app is deleted, subject to normal iOS backup and restore behaviour.
Privacy-focused analytics
Eden uses TelemetryDeck to understand whether the app works correctly, which features are useful, and how users return to the app over time. Events may include app launches, onboarding progress, feature interactions, app version, build, operating-system and device category, locale, performance, and sanitised error categories.
We do not intentionally send names, email addresses, message contents, precise coordinates, place names, advertising identifiers, or raw error messages to TelemetryDeck. TelemetryDeck receives an app-scoped pseudonymous identifier and limited technical event data. According to TelemetryDeck, IP addresses are not stored. See the TelemetryDeck Privacy Policy.
Purchases and subscriptions
Payments are processed by Apple through the App Store. We do not receive payment-card details. Eden uses RevenueCat to present offerings, validate purchases, restore purchases, determine entitlement status, and manage subscription access. RevenueCat may process an app user identifier, product and transaction identifiers, purchase history, subscription status, storefront, and related app/device metadata. See the RevenueCat Privacy Policy.
RevenueCat forwards purchase lifecycle events to TelemetryDeck so we can measure paywall performance, trials, purchases, renewals, cancellations, and retention. The app supplies RevenueCat with the TelemetryDeck app identifier and the same pseudonymous, hashed analytics user identifier. This lets the services correlate product events without us sending your name, email address, payment-card details, precise location, or advertising identifier.
Support and feedback
If you contact us, we receive the information you choose to provide, such as your email address and message. We use it to respond, investigate problems, and improve the app. Support correspondence is normally retained for no longer than 24 months after the last interaction unless a longer period is required by law or for legal claims.
Diagnostics
Apple may provide crash reports and diagnostic information depending on your device analytics settings. These reports can include technical information about the device, system, app version, and failure. We use them to improve reliability.
3. Purposes and legal bases
Where the GDPR applies, we process information to provide requested app features and purchases (performance of a contract), respond to support requests, maintain security and reliability, understand pseudonymous product usage (our legitimate interests), and comply with accounting, consumer-protection, and other legal obligations.
4. Service providers and international transfers
Relevant providers are Apple Inc. for App Store distribution and platform services, TelemetryDeck GmbH for privacy-focused analytics, RevenueCat, Inc. for purchase infrastructure, and the providers involved when you choose to contact support. Apple and RevenueCat may process information outside your country, including in the United States, using applicable contractual and legal safeguards. TelemetryDeck states that its app analytics infrastructure is hosted in the European Union.
5. Retention and deletion
Local app data remains until replaced, cleared, or the app is deleted. Apple and RevenueCat retain transaction records according to their policies and legal obligations. If iCloud sync is enabled, deleting Eden on one device does not necessarily delete its data from iCloud or other devices. You can manage Eden’s iCloud data in your Apple Account settings. TelemetryDeck analytics uses a pseudonymous app identifier. We may not be able to identify an event from a name or email address alone, but purchase events can be associated with an app installation. To request access to or deletion of data that can be identified, use our contact form and provide any relevant app or transaction details you are comfortable sharing. We will assess what we can identify and handle the request where applicable, subject to legal retention requirements.
6. Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to processing of identifiable information, and to receive portable data. EEA users may complain to their local supervisory authority; in Poland this is the President of the Personal Data Protection Office.
7. Children
Eden is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Contact us if you believe a child has provided personal information.
8. Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational safeguards, including platform-standard encrypted connections. No storage or transmission method is completely secure.
9. Changes
We may update this policy when the app, providers, or legal requirements change. The current version and its update date will remain available at this URL.
10. Contact
Data controller and app provider: Seweryn Michalak. Use the Simply Crafted contact form and select “Privacy request” when appropriate.

Privacy Policy for Android
Effective 11 November 2026.
Controller and local data
Eden is provided by Seweryn Michalak, controller of information shared when contacting us. For privacy requests, use the Simply Crafted form at /contact?app=eden.
Eden stores quiz answers/history, XP, levels, streaks, Bible reading progress, saved thoughts, gifts, Bingo, missions and settings on your device. This version does not require an Eden account or provide its own cross-device synchronization. It does not send answers, saved thoughts or reading history to an Eden server.
Google Play and RevenueCat
The production release uses Google Play and RevenueCat to offer and manage Eden Pro. Google Play handles payment methods; we do not receive card details. RevenueCat processes an installation/app-user identifier, product and transaction information, purchase history and subscription status to verify purchases, restore access and operate subscriptions. Data is encrypted in transit. Eden does not supply RevenueCat with your name, email, phone number, quiz answers, saved thoughts or reading progress. It does not use an advertising identifier.
An optional demonstration access code is stored locally outside backups and sent to RevenueCat to verify granted access. It does not start a paid subscription and is not included in analytics events. Demonstration access requires periodic online verification.
Cancel renewal through Google Play. Uninstalling Eden or clearing app data does not cancel a subscription or delete Google Play/RevenueCat records.
TelemetryDeck and subscription analytics
Eden sends TelemetryDeck GmbH events describing app sessions, viewed screens, onboarding completion, offering presentation, purchase/restore outcomes, Pro access and widget availability. Events do not contain quiz answers, saved thoughts, Bible passages, reading history or profile statistics.
The SDK stores a random local identifier and sends its hash with limited technical metadata, such as device model, operating system/app/SDK versions, language, time zone, screen/installation information and session counters. Client events do not contain a name, email, advertising identifier, purchase token, order number or raw error message. Transmission uses HTTPS.
Eden supplies RevenueCat with the TelemetryDeck app ID and hashed TelemetryDeck user identifier to correlate app use and subscriptions. The configured RevenueCat integration can send TelemetryDeck subscription lifecycle information: product/plan, state, purchase/expiration dates, price/currency, country and event/transaction identifiers, including when the app is closed. This is not card data or the content of your thoughts.
The production release marks client events as production. Separate tests may mark events as test data; Google Play sandbox purchases are not real revenue. Analytics is enabled and this version has no in-app off switch. Clearing local data does not delete events already received by providers. Direct privacy questions and requests to Simply Crafted.
Other services, purposes and rights
Notifications are local and require the relevant permission. The widget uses a limited local progress projection and confirmed Pro access. Android may back up app data depending on your settings; the system provider operates those backups. External links and the contact form follow their operators' policies. Opening the form does not submit a report; we receive information when you submit it.
We process information to provide features/purchases, handle contact, maintain security/reliability and measure product use. Where GDPR applies, the bases are performance of a contract for purchases/access, legitimate interests for contact/security/analytics and applicable legal obligations. Providers process data under their own policies; Google and RevenueCat may process it outside your country. See the Google, RevenueCat and TelemetryDeck privacy policies and transfer-safeguard information.
Local data remains until changed, cleared or uninstalled, subject to system backups. We cannot remotely access Eden's local database. Providers retain received data under their policies and legal obligations. We do not promise an unverified automatic retention period for TelemetryDeck's archive.
You may request access, correction, deletion, restriction or objection where applicable law and identifiable data permit it. Deleting subscription data and cancelling renewal are separate actions. Do not send passwords, full card details or unnecessary private content. Where GDPR applies, you may complain to the relevant supervisory authority, including Poland's President of UODO. Eden is not directed to children under 13. Policy updates and the effective date will be published at this URL.
