This Privacy Policy explains how Dahlia: Date Night Ideas ("Dahlia", "the app", "we", "us", or "our") handles information in connection with your use of the Dahlia iOS application. Dahlia is developed and operated by an individual developer based in Israel (the "Developer"). The app's internal bundle identifier is xyz.bogtsi.ember — it reflects "Ember", a former working name for the app during development, and cannot be changed after publishing; it has no bearing on how the app functions or on this policy.
We built Dahlia to be private by design. Dahlia has no user accounts, no login, and no backend server operated by us. The data you create in the app stays on your device. The only information leaving your device is handled by the third-party services described below, each under their own privacy policy.
Dahlia is operated by a solo developer based in Israel. For any privacy question or request, contact us at support@bogtsi.xyz.
The following information is created and stored only on your device, using React Native's AsyncStorage inside the app's own sandbox. It is never transmitted to us — we operate no server to receive it — and we cannot access it:
Because this data lives only on your device, it is removed when you delete the app. We provide no cloud backup or sync of this information ourselves; if you use iCloud device backup, your device backup is governed by Apple's policies.
Dahlia does not have user accounts or a login of any kind, so there is no name, email, or password for us to collect through the app itself. We do not operate a backend server, so there is no server-side database of your activity. We use no analytics or crash-reporting SDKs (no Firebase, Sentry, Amplitude, or similar). Dahlia contains no advertising and no advertising SDK, does not use the advertising identifier (IDFA), and does not present Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt, because nothing in the app tracks you. We do not access Apple Health, your location, your camera, your microphone, your contacts, or your photo library — Dahlia requests none of these permissions.
Dahlia can open the standard iOS share sheet with a date idea or plan written out as text, so you can send it to your partner or anyone else. You choose the recipient and the app or method (Messages, Mail, etc.); that destination's handling of the content is governed by whatever app or service you pick. We receive nothing when you use this feature.
If you turn on the weekly reminder, Dahlia asks for notification permission and then schedules a single repeating local notification on your device, on Friday evening, suggesting you open the app for a fresh idea. It is generated and delivered entirely on-device. We use no push tokens, run no push server, and no data about the reminder leaves your device.
Dahlia relies on a small number of third-party services for subscriptions and distribution. When you use the app, these services may collect or process data directly, under their own privacy policies. We map each one below.
| Service | When it applies | What it processes | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| RevenueCat | When you start, restore, or manage a Dahlia Premium subscription | Purchase and subscription/receipt data, keyed to a pseudonymous app-user identifier (we never set a user ID, because there are no accounts). No favorites, history, plans, or preferences are ever sent to RevenueCat. | To process purchases, validate receipts, and unlock Premium features |
| Apple / App Store | Download, updates, and in-app purchases | Purchase transactions and standard App Store data handled by Apple. Payment is made to Apple with your Apple ID — the Developer never receives or sees your payment card details. | App distribution and payment processing |
Their own privacy policies are here:
Apple provides the Developer with aggregate sales and usage analytics about the App Store listing (for example, download counts and anonymized, aggregated engagement metrics), under Apple's own terms. This aggregate reporting is not linked to your identity and is not something Dahlia's own code collects or sends.
Data stored locally on your device is retained until you delete the app — deleting Dahlia deletes all of it: your favorites, history, saved plans, preferences, and streak. There is nothing stored on a server for us to delete on your behalf, because we don't have any. Data processed by RevenueCat and Apple is retained according to their own policies.
Dahlia is not directed to children and is not intended for use by anyone under the age of 13 (or the minimum age of digital consent in your jurisdiction, such as 16 under the GDPR). Its content is general-audience relationship and date-planning content. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children — indeed, we do not collect personal information from anyone, since the app has no accounts and no server. If you believe a child has used the app in a way that concerns you, please contact us at support@bogtsi.xyz.
The Developer is based in Israel. Dahlia is available through the Apple App Store internationally. Because we operate no server and hold no personal data about you outside of your own device, most data-subject rights recognized by laws such as the EU/UK GDPR or the California CCPA/CPRA (access, correction, deletion, portability) are already satisfied by the fact that your data exists only on your device, under your control — you can view, export (via sharing an idea or plan), or delete it at any time by using the app or deleting it. The limited subscription information described in Section 6 is processed by RevenueCat and Apple, who may process data in the United States and other countries under their own policies and safeguards. If you have any question about your rights, contact us at support@bogtsi.xyz and we'll do our best to help, though as noted we hold no personal data to act on directly.
Because your app data stays on your device, its security is tied to your device's own protections (passcode, encryption, biometric lock). Data handled by RevenueCat and Apple is protected under their respective security practices. No method of storage or transmission is 100% secure.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above and post the new version at this URL. Material changes will be reflected here; your continued use of the app after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
