Halim Öztürk ("we", "us", or "our") publishes the Clovk app ("the App"). This Privacy Policy explains exactly what the App collects, who processes it, and what we do not do. It is written to match, item for item, the App Privacy label shown on Clovk's App Store product page.
You never create an account. Your cities, groups, alerts and settings stay on your device and in your own private iCloud, where we cannot read them. What we do receive is a small amount of anonymous product-usage data — which screens and features get used, an approximate city derived from your IP address by our analytics provider, a random per-install identifier, and your subscription status. None of it is used to track you, and none of it is shared with advertisers or data brokers.
These four categories are everything the App collects, and they correspond one-to-one with our App Store privacy label:
We do not ask for or receive your name, e-mail address, phone number, or any account credentials, because the App has no accounts and no login.
Clovk never asks for, and never receives, your device's location. The App does not use Location Services, GPS, or Apple's Core Location framework at all. Your time zone comes from the cities you choose and from your device's own settings.
Our analytics provider, Mixpanel, nevertheless sees the IP address that every internet request carries, and derives an approximate city, region and country from it on its own servers. That IP-derived approximation is why "Coarse Location" appears on our App Store privacy label. It is city-level at best, it is never precise, and we never combine it with anything that identifies you.
Everything you create in the App — favourite cities, groups, time alerts and preferences — is stored locally on your device using Apple's on-device database. If iCloud is enabled, it syncs across your Apple devices through Apple's CloudKit, in your private iCloud database. That database belongs to your Apple Account; Halim Öztürk cannot access, read, or retrieve its contents. Your use of iCloud is governed by Apple's Privacy Policy.
City search is performed against a database bundled inside the App. The text you type into city search is never transmitted — we record only that the search screen was opened, never the query itself. Time-zone, sunrise and sunset calculations all run on your device.
These providers process this data on our instructions, for the purposes described above. We have no other backend server, and Clovk sends data to no other service.
Subscriptions are purchased through the App Store. Payment is handled entirely by Apple — we never see or store your card details, billing address, or Apple Account credentials.
Your own content lives on your device and in your private iCloud, so you control it: deleting the App removes the local copy, and iCloud data can be removed from your Apple Account settings. Analytics events held by Mixpanel and subscription records held by RevenueCat are retained only as long as needed for the purposes above, under those providers' retention practices. To ask us to delete the analytics records associated with your installation, contact us at the address below.
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR or the CCPA) you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or port your personal data, and to object to its processing. Because we hold no account and no directly identifying information, we may be unable to link a request to a specific installation without further detail from you. We do not sell personal information. Contact us at the address below and we will help where we can.
Clovk is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Clovk is available worldwide. Our providers may process the limited data described above in countries other than your own, subject to the safeguards set out in their respective privacy policies.
We may update this Privacy Policy. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above, and material changes will be reflected here and in the App Store privacy label.
