Marketing Attribution and Analytics
To help us understand the effectiveness of our marketing and improve the app, CycleWise uses privacy-focused attribution and analytics technologies. These are designed to comply with Apple's privacy requirements and do not collect personal or profile data.
Facebook SDK and Facebook AEM
- CycleWise integrates the Facebook SDK for marketing attribution and analytics.
- We use Facebook's Aggregated Event Measurement (AEM) to measure the performance of our marketing campaigns in a privacy-safe, aggregated way.
- No personal or profile data is shared with Facebook. Only anonymized, aggregated events (such as app installs, trial starts, or subscriptions) are reported for attribution purposes.
- Facebook does not receive any user content, profile information, or behavioral data from within the app.
Apple SKAdNetwork
- CycleWise uses Apple's SKAdNetwork framework for privacy-preserving attribution of app installs and in-app events.
- SKAdNetwork does not share any user-level or device-level data. Only aggregated, anonymized conversion data is sent to ad networks (such as Facebook) to measure campaign effectiveness.
- No personal information or app content is shared with Apple or ad networks through SKAdNetwork.
App Tracking Transparency (ATT)
- CycleWise fully supports Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) framework.
- You will be asked for permission before any tracking or attribution data is shared with third parties.
- If you decline tracking, only aggregated, non-personal data is shared for marketing attribution, and no device identifiers or personal data are collected.
Subscription and Payment Information
If you purchase a subscription:
- All payment processing is handled by Apple through the App Store
- We do not have access to your payment information
- Apple's privacy policy governs payment data handling
- Subscription status is managed through Apple's systems
Data Security
We protect your privacy through:
- Local Storage Only: No data transmission to external servers
- iOS Security: Leveraging Apple's built-in security features
- No Data Collection: Cannot lose what we don't collect
- Device Encryption: iOS standard encryption protects your local data
Children's Privacy
CycleWise does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Since all data remains on the device, we have no access to determine user age or collect any personal information from users of any age.

Since your data never leaves your device:
- Access: You have complete access to all your data within the app

- Device Transfer: When setting up a new device, your CycleWise data may transfer if you restore from backup
- App Deletion: Deleting the app removes all associated data from your device
