Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 2025
Overview
Convert ("the App") is developed by Svift Studios. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy describes what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices.
Data Stored on Your Device
The following data is stored locally on your device only and is never transmitted to our servers:
- Conversion History - Your past conversions for quick reference
- Saved Conversions - Conversions you choose to pin or organize into lists
- Usage Statistics - Conversion counts, streaks, and achievements for gamification features
- App Preferences - Your settings such as decimal places, appearance, and enabled features
- Exchange Rate Cache - Currency rates are cached locally for up to 30 days for performance
You can delete this data at any time by uninstalling the app.
Data Sent to Third-Party Services
To provide core functionality, the App communicates with the following third-party services:
Natural Language Processing (Groq)
When you type a conversion query (e.g., "150 lbs to kg"), your query text is sent to Groq's API for natural language processing. This helps the app understand complex or ambiguous queries. No personal identifiers are attached to these requests. Groq's privacy policy governs their handling of this data.
Currency Exchange Rates (Frankfurter)
The App fetches live currency exchange rates from the Frankfurter API. Only the base currency code is sent; no personal information is transmitted.
In-App Purchases (RevenueCat)
If you subscribe to Convert Pro, your purchase is processed through Apple and managed by RevenueCat. RevenueCat receives transaction data necessary to verify your subscription status. No payment details are shared with us directly.
Clipboard Access
Convert may read your clipboard to automatically detect values for conversion. This data is:
- Processed entirely on your device
- Never transmitted to any server
- Not stored permanently
Speech Recognition
Voice input uses Apple's on-device speech recognition. Audio is processed locally and is not sent to external servers by the App.
What We Don't Collect
- Personal identifiers (name, email, phone number)
- Device identifiers (UDID, IDFA)
- Location data
- Analytics or tracking data
- Crash reports
Data Retention
Local data remains on your device until you delete the app. We do not retain any data on our servers. Third-party services (Groq, Frankfurter, RevenueCat) have their own data retention policies.
Children's Privacy
The App does not knowingly collect any personal information from children under 13.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
