Introduction
TaroTaper ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our mobile application (the "App").
The short version: We don't collect, store, or share your personal data. Your readings are completely private.
Information We Do NOT Collect
TaroTaper is designed with privacy first. We do NOT collect, store, or process:
- Personal Information: No name, email, phone number, or contact details
- Reading History: Your Tarot card selections and readings are never stored
- AI Interpretations: Generated in real-time and never saved
- Location Data: We don't track where you are
- Device Information: No device identifiers or advertising IDs
- Usage Data: We don't track how you use the app
- Cookies or Tracking: No cookies, analytics, or tracking technologies
Information We Do Collect
The only information we process is:
Subscription Status
What: Your App Store subscription status (active/inactive)
Why: To provide Premium features to subscribers
How: Handled automatically by Apple's StoreKit framework
Storage: Stored locally on your device and verified with Apple's servers
Control: Managed through your Apple ID settings
How the App Works
Free Features
When you use free features (card selection, viewing spreads):
- All processing happens locally on your device
- No data leaves your device
- No internet connection required
- Nothing is stored between sessions
Premium Features (AI Interpretations)
When you request an AI interpretation:
- We send only your three card names to our AI service
- No personal information is included
- The interpretation is generated and sent back immediately
- Nothing is logged or stored on our servers
- The interpretation is displayed to you and then discarded
Example: If you select "The Moon," "The Star," and "The Sun," we only send these three card names to generate your interpretation. We don't know who requested it or when.
Subscription Management
App Store subscriptions are handled entirely by Apple:
- Payment information goes directly to Apple
- We never see your credit card or payment details
- Apple notifies us if you have an active subscription
- We verify subscription status with Apple when you use Premium features
Third-Party Services
Apple App Store
When you download TaroTaper or subscribe to Premium:
AI Service Provider
For Premium AI interpretations, we use a third-party AI service:
- We send only card names (e.g., "The Fool," "The Magician")
- No personal information is included in requests
- Responses are not logged or stored
- The service cannot identify you
Data Storage
On Your Device:
- Your subscription status (active/inactive)
- App preferences (e.g., language selection)
On Our Servers:
- Nothing. We maintain no databases of user information.
Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or share your information with anyone. There is no information to share.
The only data transmission that occurs:
- To Apple: Subscription verification requests
- To AI Service: Card names only (for Premium interpretations)
Children's Privacy
TaroTaper is rated 12+ due to occult/spiritual themes. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children. Our privacy-first design means we don't collect data from users of any age.

Changes to This Privacy Policy
