Bias Pocket Privacy Policy
Short version: Bias Pocket has no account and no sign-up. What you add to the app stays on your phone, and we do not collect it.
Bias Pocket is made by PNW Making Things ("we", "us"). This policy explains what information the app handles and what we do with it.
Information the app stores
The app saves the following on your device so it can work:
- Your bias picks, favorite groups and members
- Your photocard collection and any photos you choose to add
- Calendar items, reminders and birthday alerts you turn on
- App settings such as theme color, language and app lock
This information is not sent to us. If you use the in-app backup, the backup file is created on your device and goes only where you choose to save it.
Information we do not collect
- No account, name, email address or phone number
- No location
- No contacts
- No advertising identifiers or cross-app tracking
- No Face ID or fingerprint data (app lock is handled by your device; the app only learns whether the unlock succeeded)
Device permissions
The app asks for a permission only when a feature needs it. You can change any of these in your device settings.
- Photos: only the photos you pick, which stay on your device
- Notifications: for comeback, event and birthday reminders you turn on
- Face ID or passcode: if you turn on app lock
Purchases and subscriptions
Purchases are processed by the Apple App Store or Google Play. We never see or store your card number or billing details. The store tells the app only whether a purchase or subscription is active. You manage or cancel subscriptions in your store account settings.
Third-party content and services
Some parts of the app load content from, or link out to, other services. When your device connects to them, they receive standard technical information such as your IP address, and their own privacy policies apply:
- News articles and videos from outside publishers, including YouTube
- Links to official fandom channels on Instagram and Threads
- Links to ticket sellers (tickets are never sold inside the app)
- App update delivery, which downloads new versions of the app's content from our update provider
Keeping and deleting your information
Your information stays on your device until you remove it. You can delete it from inside the app, and deleting the app removes everything it stored. Because we hold none of it, there is nothing for us to delete on our side.
Children
Bias Pocket is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to this policy
If the app changes in a way that affects your privacy, we will update this page and the effective date above before the change reaches you.
