₿ Bitcoin Radar — Privacy Policy

Effective May 26, 2026 · Last updated May 26, 2026

Bitcoin Radar is owned and operated by My Virtual Shop LLC. This privacy policy explains how we handle data in the Bitcoin Radar iOS app.

Consent Records

When you accept the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy on first launch, we record a small consent receipt as legal proof that you reviewed and accepted these documents. This receipt contains:

• Anonymous device ID — generated locally on your device, not linked to your Apple ID, name, or email
• Timestamp — when you accepted
• Version hashes — SHA-256 hashes of the exact ToS and Privacy Policy text you accepted
• Truncated IP address — IPv4 truncated to /24 (e.g. 203.0.113.0) or IPv6 truncated to /64. The final octets are discarded so the address cannot identify a specific household or device

This consent record is required by EU (GDPR Art. 7) and US privacy law as proof of informed consent. The receipt itself is used only as proof of consent; it is not sold, shared, or used for advertising. The anonymous device ID inside the receipt may also be counted in our aggregate user-base statistics (see Anonymous Aggregate Analytics below). Records are retained for 7 years to satisfy the statute of limitations on consent challenges, then deleted.

App Store Privacy Nutrition Label

In accordance with Apple's App Store Privacy guidelines:

• Data Used to Track You: None
• Data Linked to You: None
• Data Not Linked to You: Identifiers (anonymous Device ID, for app functionality + analytics), Usage Data (product interaction, for analytics), Diagnostics (app functionality), Purchases (subscription entitlement)

Apple-defined data types we do or do not collect:

• Contact Info — None
• Health & Fitness — None
• Financial Info — None
• Location — None (truncated IP in consent records is not used for location)
• Sensitive Info — None
• Contacts — None
• User Content — None
• Browsing History — None
• Search History — None
• Identifiers — anonymous Device ID (subscription verification + aggregate analytics, not linked to you)
• Purchases — anonymous subscription entitlement only (no payment details — those stay with Apple)
• Usage Data — anonymous product interaction (which features are used, how often), not linked to you
• Diagnostics — anonymous app functionality data (error rates, push delivery outcomes), not linked to you
• Other Data — None

Pro Subscription Handling

All payment processing for Bitcoin Radar Pro is handled entirely by Apple through StoreKit. We never see, process, or store your payment information, Apple ID, name, email, or any billing details.

To verify your Pro subscription status, our server stores:

• Device UUID — an anonymous identifier generated locally on your device. It is not linked to your Apple ID, name, email, or any personal identifier. It cannot be used to track you across apps or websites. It does not persist across app uninstalls unless you restore from an iCloud backup.
• Apple original_transaction_id — an opaque transaction identifier assigned by Apple, used solely to verify your subscription entitlement.
• Product ID and expiration date — to determine which plan you are on and whether it is active.

This data is used to unlock Pro features on your device and is also counted in anonymous aggregate subscription statistics (e.g. total active Pro subscribers, monthly vs. annual mix, churn). It is not shared with any third party and is not linked to any personally identifiable information.

Server-Side Data

Our server collects and processes aggregated, non-personal Bitcoin market and signal data from public sources (on-chain data, derivatives, macro indicators). This data is identical for all users and contains no personal information.

For each API request your device makes, our server records the anonymous device UUID and timestamp so we can compute aggregate user-base statistics (active users per day/week/month, retention curves). The UUID is not linked to your Apple ID, name, email, IP address, or any personal identifier. Web request logs do not record full IP addresses.

Anonymous Aggregate Analytics

We collect anonymous aggregate usage metrics on our own server to understand how the app is used and to improve it. Specifically:

• Device counts — total registered devices, new devices per day, daily/weekly/monthly active users
• Subscription metrics — Pro subscriber counts, monthly-vs-annual mix, trial-conversion and churn rates (aggregate counts only)
• Feature popularity — which tabs and screens are used and how often (aggregate counts only)
• Push notification preferences — aggregate opt-in rates by notification type and direction filter
• Retention statistics — what percentage of devices return to the app 1, 7, and 30 days after first use
• System health — error rates, push delivery success rates, API failure counts
• Geographic distribution (optional) — coarse country-level aggregation derived from the IP of incoming requests; only aggregate country counts are stored, never per-device location

What we do NOT do: we do not use any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs (no Google Analytics, no Firebase Analytics, no Facebook SDK, no AppsFlyer, no Mixpanel, no similar service). We do not track you across other apps or websites. We do not sell, share, rent, or transfer any of this data. All analytics data stays on our server. The anonymous device UUID is a pseudonymous identifier under GDPR Art. 4(5) — it is meaningless outside our subscription-verification database and cannot be reversed into your identity.

Tracking & Third-Party SDKs

Bitcoin Radar contains no third-party analytics, tracking, or advertising SDKs. We do not use Google Analytics, Firebase Analytics, Facebook SDK, AppsFlyer, Mixpanel, or any similar service. We do not track users across apps or websites. The "Tracking" definition in Apple's App Tracking Transparency framework does not apply to our first-party server-side analytics, which is why no ATT prompt is shown.

Web fonts (JetBrains Mono, IBM Plex Sans) are self-hosted on our servers — they are not loaded from third-party font CDNs such as Google Fonts. No font request reveals your IP address to a third party.

Third-Party Services (Public Data Only)

To display market data, the app fetches public Bitcoin data from public APIs (Binance, OKX, mempool.space, CoinGecko, Bitcoin Geometrics). These requests contain no user-identifying information — only standard HTTP requests for public market data.

• Market data: Binance, OKX, mempool.space, CoinGecko, Bitcoin Geometrics (public APIs)
• In-app purchases: Processed entirely by Apple. See Apple's Privacy Policy.

Third-Party Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, share, or disclose any user data to third parties.

Data Storage

User settings (miner config, notification preferences) are synced to server keyed on anonymous device UUID — no PII linked.

Local app state (caches, temporary UI state) is stored on your device using Apple's standard storage APIs and is not accessible to us.

Push Notifications (Optional)

If you enable notifications, Apple's Push Notification service (APNs) is used. We do not store your APNs device token on any server. Notifications contain no personal identifiers. You can disable notifications anytime in iOS Settings.

Children's Privacy

Bitcoin Radar is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect data from children.

Your Rights (GDPR / CCPA)

We do not collect personal data linked to your identity. The anonymous device UUID we store is a pseudonymous identifier (GDPR Art. 4(5)) — it is generated on your device and cannot be linked back to your name, email, Apple ID, or any other personal identifier without you providing that linkage.

Because we do not hold the linkage between your UUID and your identity, we cannot answer GDPR/CCPA access, correction, or deletion requests that ask "give me everything you have on me" — we have no way to know which UUID belongs to which person. If you want to ensure your device's data is purged from our subscription and aggregate-analytics databases, you can: (1) uninstall the app, which causes your device UUID to stop appearing in any new requests (existing rows remain but become inactive), or (2) contact us with the truncated first 8 characters of your device UUID (visible in the app under Settings → About → Device Token) and request its removal. If you have questions or concerns, contact us.
