Drip — Book Insights ("Drip", "we", "the app") is built by Abhishek Jain. This policy explains what data the app handles, why, and the choices you have. We collect as little as possible.
What we collect
Drip collects only two kinds of data, and only to make the app work:
Account identifier. When you sign in with Apple, we receive an anonymous user identifier (a Firebase user ID). We never receive your real email address or name unless you explicitly choose to share a display name on Apple's consent screen.
Product interaction data. Anonymous usage events — such as which lessons you read, onboarding completion, sign-in success or failure, and catalog refreshes — so we can keep the app working and understand how it is used.
Both are linked to your account identifier so your reading history and book progress can sync across your devices.
What we do NOT collect
Email address or real name
Advertising identifiers (IDFA) — Drip contains no ad SDKs
Location, health, contacts, photos, audio, financial, or browsing data
Drip does not track you across other companies' apps or websites. There is no App Tracking Transparency prompt because there is nothing to track.
How your data is used
App functionality — signing you in, and syncing your reading history and book progress across devices.
Analytics — understanding aggregate, anonymous usage so the app can be improved.
Your data is never sold, rented, or used for advertising.
Service providers
Drip uses Google Firebase to run its backend: Firebase Authentication (Sign in with Apple), Cloud Firestore (history and progress sync), Firebase Analytics (the usage events above), Firebase App Check (abuse prevention), and Cloud Functions (account deletion). Google processes this data on our behalf. See Firebase's privacy information.
Data retention & deletion
Your reading history and progress are kept while your account is active. You can delete your account and all associated data at any time:
Open Drip → Settings → Delete account.
Re-authenticate with Apple to confirm.
A secure server function permanently erases your account and all of your data — Firestore records and your authentication account — in one operation.
This is immediate and irreversible.
Children
Drip is rated 4+ and contains no objectionable content, but it is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children.
Changes
If this policy changes, the "last updated" date above will change. Significant changes will be noted in the app.
