FunFactPRIVACY
Your curiosity should not cost your privacy.
Last updated: 23 September 2026
FunFact is designed to be private by default. The app does not require an account, does not show advertising and does not sell personal data. This policy explains what stays on your device, what is measured to improve the app, and what is processed by the services needed to provide optional subscriptions.
The short version: your display name, favourites, collections and reading history stay on your device. To understand how the app is used, we send usage events and your onboarding answers — your interests, goal and knowledge level — to Mixpanel, on European servers, under a random identifier that is not linked to your name. Apple processes App Store purchases, and RevenueCat verifies funfact_premium access.
1. Who we are
FunFact (the “app”, “we” or “us”) is the mobile app described on this website. For privacy questions or requests, contact contact@fit-coach.app.
2. Data that stays on your device
The following information is used to operate and personalise FunFact and is stored locally on your device:
- Your display name, theme and app icon.
- Facts you have seen or read, favourites, saved facts and collection names and membership.
- Your progress, streak information and reminder schedule.
- App settings and locally cached catalogue content.
Your display name is never sent off the device. Some of your onboarding answers are also measured — see section 3.
FunFact does not provide an account-based cloud sync for this information. If you uninstall the app, local data may be removed by the operating system. Keep a device backup if you want to preserve it.
3. Data processed by service providers
Only the limited information needed for the following purposes leaves the device:
| Provider | Purpose | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Apple App Store | Processing in-app purchases and subscriptions | Store transaction, product, billing and subscription information handled under Apple’s policies |
| RevenueCat | Managing offerings and verifying the funfact_premium entitlement | Anonymous app-user identifier, product and purchase status, entitlement status and technical SDK information |
| Mixpanel | Understanding how the app is used, so we can improve it | A random install identifier, in-app events (onboarding steps, opening a paywall, liking or saving a fact, starting a purchase), and your onboarding answers: interests, weekly goal, knowledge level, motivations, language and reminder settings |
| Sentry | Detecting crashes and errors so they can be fixed | Technical diagnostics: error type, stack trace, app version, device model and operating system |
| Content service (only if enabled for a build) | Delivering an updated fact catalogue and receiving fact reports | Product/language selection and, if you report a fact, the fact identifier; no account profile is attached |
These providers process information under their own terms and privacy policies. FunFact does not send your display name, the contents of your collections or your full reading history to any of them.
About the analytics identifier
FunFact has no accounts, so measurement uses a random identifier generated on your device the first time the app runs. It is not your name, your email or an advertising identifier, and it is not shared with advertising networks. The same identifier is given to RevenueCat so that a subscription can be connected to the journey that led to it.
Mixpanel data for FunFact is stored on European servers (Mixpanel’s EU residency region).
4. Notifications and permissions
If you allow notifications, FunFact schedules reminders locally on your device using the schedule you choose. You can change or revoke this permission at any time in iOS Settings. FunFact does not need access to your contacts, location, microphone, camera or photos.
5. What we do not do
- We do not sell your data.
- We do not display third-party advertising or build an advertising profile.
- We do not track you across other apps or websites.
- We do not require an account, password or social login.
- We do not intentionally collect the contents of your saved facts or collections on a server.
6. Legal bases (EU/EEA)
Where the GDPR applies, we process data on the following bases:
- Performance of a contract — providing the app and its features, and performing the purchases you request.
- Legitimate interest — keeping the service secure and reliable, including crash diagnostics.
- Legitimate interest — measuring how the app is used so it can be improved. You can object to this at any time by writing to the address in section 12, and we will stop measuring your usage.
Notifications are scheduled after you grant permission, which you can withdraw at any time in your device settings.
7. Retention
Local app data remains on your device until you remove it or uninstall FunFact. Apple and RevenueCat retain purchase-related records according to their own retention policies and legal obligations. Usage events and crash diagnostics are retained by Mixpanel and Sentry under their respective retention settings. We do not keep a separate FunFact account database.
8. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to processing, and to data portability. Because most FunFact data is local, you can manage it directly in the app or on your device. For a privacy request about information processed by FunFact, email contact@fit-coach.app. You may also contact your local data-protection authority.
9. Children
FunFact is not directed at children under 13, or the minimum age required in your country. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
10. International processing
Mixpanel stores FunFact’s analytics data in its European region. Apple, RevenueCat and Sentry may process data in countries other than your own; they apply the safeguards described in their respective privacy policies and, where required, appropriate transfer mechanisms.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as FunFact changes. We will update the date above and, where appropriate, provide notice in the app.
