App Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 29, 2026

This policy explains what information the Belle's Picks app collects, how it's used, and the choices you have. The app is published by Wild Rein Studios ("we," "us"). If you have any questions, email belle@bellespicks.com.

The short version: we collect only what we need to run your membership. We don't sell your data, we don't show ads, and we don't track what you do in the app.

What we collect

Information you give us

Your first name and email address, when you create an account.
Your password. It's stored securely by our membership provider. We never see it or keep it in plain text.
Messages you send us, if you email us for support.

Information collected when you use the app

Subscription and purchase details: which plan you have, when it renews, and whether it's active. Payments are handled by Google Play. We never see or store your card details.
Device identifiers: an app-specific ID that lets us send new-post notifications to your phone and connect your purchase to your account.
Basic technical information, such as your IP address, which is processed automatically when the app connects to our servers and to the services that host post images.

What we don't collect

We don't collect your location, contacts, photos, or browsing history.
We don't use analytics or advertising trackers in the app.
Searches you type in the app stay on your phone and are never sent to us.

How we use it

To create your account and log you in.
To check your subscription and show you the posts included in your plan.
To send notifications when new posts are published (if you allow notifications).
To reply when you contact us, and to send important messages about your account.
To prevent fraud and meet our legal and tax obligations.

We don't sell your personal information, and we don't use it for advertising.

Who we share it with

We use a few trusted service providers to run the app. They process your information only on our behalf and only for the purposes above:

Outseta: membership accounts, logins, and website billing (with its payment processor, Stripe).
Google Play: in-app purchases and subscriptions.
RevenueCat: confirms your Google Play subscription and links it to your account.
Google Firebase Cloud Messaging: delivers push notifications.
Cloudflare: hosts the secure server that connects the app to these services.
Webflow: hosts the posts and images you read in the app.

We may also disclose information if required by law, or to protect our rights or the safety of others.

Some of these providers are located outside Canada, including in the United States, so your information may be stored and processed there and may be accessible to authorities in those countries under their laws.

Notifications

The app asks for permission before showing notifications. You can turn them off anytime in your phone's settings. Turning them off stops notifications from appearing, but your device's app ID is still used to keep your notification settings ready in case you turn them back on.

How long we keep it

We keep your account information for as long as you have an account. When you delete your account, we delete your name, email, password, plan details, and subscription link. We keep payment and invoice records for as long as tax law requires (up to 7 years). Google Play keeps its own purchase records under Google's Privacy Policy.

Your choices and rights

Access or correct your information: email us and we'll help.
Delete your account: in the app, go to Account → Delete account, or see bellespicks.com/delete-account.
Cancel a subscription: in Google Play under Payments & subscriptions. Deleting your account doesn't cancel a Google Play subscription.
Notifications: turn them on or off anytime in your phone's settings.

Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under local privacy laws. Email us to make a request, and we'll respond within 30 days.

Security

All information sent between the app and our services is encrypted in transit (HTTPS). Passwords are never stored in the app or on our servers in plain text. No system is perfectly secure, but we work hard to protect your information.

Age requirement

Belle's Picks is for adults 18 and older (or the legal age for sports betting where you live, if that's higher). We don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you think a minor has created an account, email us and we'll delete it.

Changes to this policy

If we make important changes, we'll update the date at the top and let you know in the app or by email.
