Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 11, 2026
P3TAL ("we", "us", "the app") is a skincare knowledge-sharing platform. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights.
WHAT WE COLLECT
P3TAL collects only the data you explicitly provide within the app:
- Apple ID identifier — a stable, anonymous token provided by Sign in with Apple. We never receive your real name, email address, or phone number unless you voluntarily share them.
- Handle — a username you choose during onboarding.
- Skin profile — skin type, conditions, Fitzpatrick type, and climate/region, entered by you.
- Photos — images you upload for vote submissions or your profile. Photos are stored as CloudKit assets in Apple's infrastructure.
- In-app activity — votes, bounties, guild memberships, DAG graphs, and Dew balances created through normal use of the app.
WHAT WE DO NOT COLLECT
- Real names
- Email addresses
- Phone numbers
- Payment or financial information
- Location data (unless you opt in to the location signal feature)
- Device identifiers, advertising IDs, or fingerprints
- Analytics, telemetry, or usage tracking of any kind
- Cookies or web tracking
NO TRANSACTIONS
P3TAL does not process any financial transactions. "Dew" is a purely synthetic reputation point system with no monetary value. There are no in-app purchases, subscriptions, or payment flows.
DATA STORAGE
All data is stored in Apple CloudKit:
- Public data (profiles, votes, bounties, DAGs, guilds) is stored in the CloudKit public database and is visible to other authenticated users.
- Private data (blocked users list) is stored in your private CloudKit container and is never accessible to other users or to us.
We do not operate our own servers. We do not have direct access to your CloudKit data. All data is governed by Apple's infrastructure and Apple's Privacy Policy (https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/).
THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
P3TAL uses no third-party SDKs, analytics services, advertising networks, or external APIs. The app communicates exclusively with Apple CloudKit.
DATA RETENTION AND DELETION
Your data persists in CloudKit as long as your account exists. To delete your data, you can:
- Delete individual content (bounties, votes, DAGs) from within the app.
- Delete your profile by contacting us at privacy@p3tal.app. We will remove your CloudKit records within 30 days.
- Revoke Sign in with Apple credentials via Settings > Apple ID > Password & Security > Apps Using Apple ID, which will prevent further access.
CHILDREN
P3TAL requires users to be at least 18 years old. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18.
CHANGES TO THIS POLICY
If we update this policy, we will revise the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance.
