2. Information We Do Not Collect
Big Mac Index is a privacy-focused application. We do not collect, store, or process any personal information, including but not limited to:
- Personal identification information (name, email, phone number)
- Location data
- Usage analytics or behavioral data
- Device identifiers or advertising IDs
- IP addresses
- Search queries or app usage patterns
- Any data that could identify you personally
3. Data Displayed in the App
The Big Mac Index app displays publicly available economic data sourced from The Economist's Big Mac Index. This data includes:
- Big Mac prices in various countries
- Currency exchange rates
- Purchasing power parity calculations
- Historical price trends
- GDP-adjusted valuations
This data is embedded in the app and does not require any internet connection to view. No data about your viewing habits or preferences is collected.
4. Local Data Storage
The app may store certain preferences locally on your device, such as:
- App settings (dark mode preference, notification preferences)
- Selected countries for comparison
- Sort preferences
This data is stored exclusively on your device using iOS's standard UserDefaults system and is never transmitted to any server or third party. You can delete this data at any time by deleting the app.
5. No Third-Party Services
Big Mac Index does not integrate with any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services. We do not use:
- Analytics platforms (Google Analytics, Firebase, etc.)
- Advertising networks
- Social media integrations
- Crash reporting services
- Any other third-party SDKs that collect data
6. Network Connectivity
The app does not require an internet connection to function. All Big Mac Index data is included with the app and available offline. The app does not make any network requests to external servers.
7. Push Notifications
If you enable push notifications, the app may send local notifications about:
- App updates
- New data releases
These are local notifications generated by your device. We do not collect device tokens or use push notification services to track you. You can disable notifications at any time in iOS Settings.
8. Children's Privacy
Big Mac Index does not collect any information from anyone, including children under the age of 13. The app is safe for users of all ages and complies with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
9. Data Security
Since we do not collect any personal data, there is no personal data to secure or breach. The economic data displayed in the app is public information that cannot identify you in any way.
10. Your Rights
Because we do not collect any personal information:
- There is no personal data to access, modify, or delete
- There is no data to export or transfer
- There are no privacy settings to configure beyond iOS system settings
11. International Users
Big Mac Index is available worldwide. Since no personal data is collected, there are no international data transfer concerns. The app complies with GDPR, CCPA, and other privacy regulations by design (privacy by default).
12. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected in the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
