Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 4, 2026

Our Commitment to Privacy

At CartPause, your privacy is paramount. We believe your shopping data is yours alone. This policy explains how we handle your information with the utmost care and respect.

Data Storage

On-Device Storage

Your paused items, savings data, and app preferences are stored locally on your device using Apple’s SwiftData framework. This data never leaves your device except through iCloud sync (described below).

iCloud Sync

If you have iCloud enabled, your items are synced privately across your Apple devices using Apple’s CloudKit. This data is encrypted in transit and at rest by Apple. We do not have access to your iCloud data. You can disable iCloud sync for CartPause in your device’s iCloud settings.

Information We Process

Product URL Processing

When you share a product link to CartPause via the Share Extension, the URL may be sent to our server to extract product details (name, price, and image). This processing is done in real time and we do not store the URLs or extracted data on our servers. The extracted information is saved only on your device.

Subscription Information

Subscriptions are managed entirely by Apple through the App Store. We do not collect or store your payment information, Apple ID, or billing details. We only check your subscription status locally on your device using Apple’s StoreKit framework.

Notifications

Push notifications (pause expiration reminders) are scheduled locally on your device. They do not pass through our servers. Notification permissions are managed through your device’s Settings.

What We Don’t Collect

We do not collect:

  • Personal information (name, email, phone number)
  • Device identifiers or IP addresses
  • Usage analytics or behavioral data
  • Browsing history or shopping activity
  • Location data
  • Payment or billing information

CartPause does not include any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs.

What We Never Do

  • Sell your personal information to third parties
  • Share your shopping data with retailers or advertisers
  • Track your browsing activity across other websites or apps
  • Use your data for targeted advertising
  • Build user profiles or behavioral models

Your Rights

Because your data is stored on your device and in your personal iCloud account, you have full control:

  • Delete all items: Use Menu → Delete All within the app
  • Delete all app data: Delete the CartPause app from your device
  • Delete iCloud data: Go to Settings → [Your Name] → iCloud → Manage Storage → CartPause → Delete Data
  • Cancel subscription: Go to Settings → [Your Name] → Subscriptions → CartPause Pro

The CartPause website (cartpause.com) uses Google Analytics to understand aggregate traffic patterns (e.g., page views and referral sources). Google Analytics may set cookies in your browser. No personally identifiable information is collected through our website. The website does not use advertising or retargeting scripts.

Children’s Privacy

CartPause is not intended for users under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.
