Privacy Policy

How You Use ShaveSplash

ShaveSplash offers two modes. Your privacy rights and our data practices differ depending on which you choose.

Information We Collect

When you use Cloud Connected mode, we collect and store the following:

Account

• Email address (used to sign in via one-time code)
• Display name (optional, set by you)

Your Shave Data

• Shave logs, scores, results, notes, and photos
• Den inventory (razors, blades, soaps, brushes, aftershaves, etc.)

Community Activity

• Forum posts and replies you publish
• Shave of the Day (SOTD) posts, reactions, and comments
• Buy/Sell/Trade listings and messages between users
• Reactions and emoji responses to community content

Usage Data

We collect anonymous usage activity (such as which features you use and when) to understand how the app is being used. This data is associated with your account for up to 90 days, after which individual activity records are deleted and only aggregated, anonymized statistics are retained.

How We Use Your Information

• To provide and operate the ShaveSplash service
• To sync your data across the app and the web
• To display your community contributions (forum, BST, SOTD)
• To send BST message notifications via email
• To understand usage patterns and improve the app
• To manage your subscription if you upgrade to Expert tier

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services to operate ShaveSplash:

Infrastructure

Your data is stored on servers provided by Railway (hosting) and Turso (database). Both are located in the United States.

Payments

If you subscribe to the Expert tier, payments are processed by Stripe (web) and RevenueCat (iOS and Android). We do not store your payment card details. Stripe and RevenueCat's privacy policies apply to payment data.

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with any other third parties for marketing or advertising purposes.

Tracking and Advertising

We do not track you across apps or websites owned by other companies.

ShaveSplash does not use advertising SDKs, does not sell your data to advertisers, and does not share your data with data brokers.

Data Retention

• Account and shave data: retained until you delete your account
• Community content (forum posts, BST listings): retained until you delete them or your account
• Individual usage activity records: deleted after 90 days
• Aggregated, anonymized usage statistics: retained indefinitely
• Deleted account data: permanently removed from our servers within 30 days

Your Rights and Controls

You have the following rights over your data:

• Access: View all your data within the app
• Export: Export your shave data from Settings in the iOS app
• Delete content: Remove individual logs, Den items, forum posts, or BST listings at any time
• Delete account: Permanently delete your account and all associated data via Settings → Delete My Account & Data in the iOS app
• Switch to Local: You can switch to Local Only mode at any time from Settings, which stops all future data sync

To exercise any other privacy rights or to make a data request, contact us at teutonblade@shavesplash.com.

Data Security

Cloud data is transmitted over encrypted HTTPS connections and stored in secure, access-controlled databases. We follow industry-standard security practices. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Local Only mode data is stored on your device using your device's built-in security. We recommend securing your device with a passcode or biometric authentication.

Children's Privacy

ShaveSplash is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated within the app. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
