Privacy Policy
Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how Five Words ("we", "our", or "us") handles information when you use the Five Words mobile application and related services.
Information We Collect
We may collect:
- Account and transaction metadata related to subscriptions.
- Device and app usage data used for app functionality, analytics, and fraud prevention.
- Support communications you send to us.
How We Use Information
We use information to:
- Provide and maintain app features.
- Process and validate subscription access.
- Improve app quality, performance, and safety.
- Respond to support requests and legal obligations.
Subscriptions and Payments
Five Words may offer auto-renewable subscriptions through Apple In-App Purchases. Payments are processed by Apple, not by us directly, and we do not receive your full payment card details. We process subscription status and receipt-related metadata to validate and maintain your access to paid features.
Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled through your Apple ID settings before renewal. Subscription management and cancellation are handled by Apple.
Third-Party Services
We use trusted third-party services, including:
- Apple, for App Store distribution, payments, and subscription management.
- RevenueCat, for subscription infrastructure and entitlement management.
These providers process data according to their own terms and privacy policies. We encourage you to review their policies.
For subscription features, RevenueCat may process limited technical and transaction data (for example app user identifiers, purchase receipts, and entitlement status) on our behalf.
Data Retention
We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including legal, accounting, and security requirements.
Subscription-related records may be retained for audit, fraud prevention, tax, and legal compliance periods as required by applicable law.
User Rights
Subject to applicable law (including GDPR where applicable), you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data, and to data portability or objection. You may also withdraw consent when processing is based on consent.
You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. To make a request, contact us using the details below.
Children's Privacy
Five Words is not directed to children under 13 (or a higher age where required by local law), and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date.
