Privacy Policy

Short version

Pink Thump lets you tap a rhythm on the screen. Pink Thump records your tap events and saves them as a haptic pattern you can replay through the iPhone Taptic Engine. A year feed collects the rhythms you keep. The rhythm data lives on your device. There are no accounts, no analytics, and no third-party SDKs that contact a server. The only network calls the app makes are to Apple's StoreKit when you choose to subscribe or unlock the Lifetime tier.

Who we are

Pink Thump is published by Danielius Studio LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company at 30 N Gould St, Suite #5280, Sheridan, WY 82801, USA (“we”, “us”).

Data we do NOT collect

• No account, no email, no password — the app has no signup.
• No analytics, no telemetry, no event tracking.
• No advertising identifiers (no IDFA, no fingerprinting).
• No usage data sent off the device.
• No microphone, no camera, no photo library access.
• No location, no contacts, no calendar.
• No HealthKit, no Health data.

No permissions required

Pink Thump does not request any iOS privacy permissions. It does not use the microphone, the camera, the Photos library, your location, your contacts, your calendar, or any sensors beyond the touch surface itself. Core Haptics does not require a permission prompt.

What stays on your device

• Your thump entries (the time, strength and sharpness of each tap, the total duration of the rhythm, an optional short label you can attach to a rhythm, and the created-at timestamp). Stored in on-device SwiftData.
• The date the app was first launched (used to time the three-day no-strings free window). Stored in UserDefaults.
• If you allow reminders, the time of day you usually open the app, so a few tips and reminders arrive at a good moment in your first week. They are scheduled on your device and nothing is sent to us.

All of the above lives on your device. A rhythm leaves it only when you share it yourself as a haptic pattern file through the iOS share sheet. Uninstalling the app deletes everything Pink Thump has stored.

Core Haptics (on-device)

Pink Thump uses Apple's Core Haptics framework (CHHapticEngine and CHHapticPattern) to play your recorded taps back through the iPhone Taptic Engine. The framework runs entirely on your device. Your rhythm data is not sent to Apple, to us, or to any third party.

Pink Thump does NOT use Image Playground, Apple Intelligence generative tools, or any other generative model. Every thump in your feed is the literal sequence of taps you produced; nothing about the rhythm is synthesized or invented.

In-app purchases

If you choose to subscribe (Monthly, Annual) or buy the Lifetime unlock, that transaction is handled by Apple's StoreKit. Apple processes the payment and shares only the receipt with the app so we can verify your entitlement. We never see your card number, billing address, or any personal information beyond Apple's opaque transaction identifier.

Subscription receipts are stored on-device by iOS and used to validate your entitlement when you re-open the app. They are not sent to any server we operate.

Family Sharing

Pink Thump Pro purchases (Monthly, Annual, Lifetime) are Family-Shareable through Apple's standard Family Sharing mechanism. Apple handles eligibility checks; we do not see who is in your family group.

Children

Pink Thump is rated 4+ in the App Store. Because the app collects no data at all, it complies with COPPA and similar children's-privacy regulations by design.

Your rights

Because Pink Thump does not collect data, there is nothing for us to export, correct, or delete on your behalf. To remove all on-device state, delete the app.

Changes

If we ever introduce a feature that involves any data leaving the device (for example, cloud sync or sharing), this page will be updated and the “Last updated” date at the top will change. Today the only such feature is sharing a rhythm file yourself, through the iOS share sheet.
