Hot Pot is a conversation-starter app. This policy explains what information the app handles and how.

Your streak, badges, saved questions, conversation history, relationship-mode preference, and notification setting are stored locally on your device. They are not sent to us or to any third party, and we cannot see them. Uninstalling the app or clearing its data removes this information.

If you subscribe to Hot Pot Premium or buy Lifetime access, the purchase is processed by Apple through the App Store. We never see or store your payment details (such as your card number) — Apple handles that directly. To confirm your purchase and unlock Premium, the app shares your App Store transaction information with RevenueCat, our subscription management provider, solely to validate that purchase. RevenueCat's own privacy practices are described at revenuecat.com/privacy.

Hot Pot does not currently require an account, and we do not collect your name or email through the app. We do not use advertising networks or third-party analytics or tracking SDKs, and we do not sell data, because we do not have any of yours to sell.

Hot Pot is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.

If a future update adds accounts or cloud-synced progress, this policy will be updated first to describe exactly what's collected and why, with a new effective date above.

We may update this policy as the app changes. Material changes will be reflected here with an updated effective date.
