FateWeave App

  1. INTRODUCTION

This Privacy Policy describes how QTC Central Europe Kft. (“Company”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) collects, uses, stores, and shares information when you use the FateWeave mobile application (“App”) on iOS.

By using the App, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of this Policy, do not use the App.

This Policy applies exclusively to the FateWeave iOS application. It does not apply to our website or any third-party services linked from the App.

  1. DATA CONTROLLER

The data controller responsible for your personal data under this Privacy Policy is:

QTC Central Europe Kft.
Szövő u. 100., 9700 Szombathely, Hungary
app@fateweave.app

  1. WHAT DATA WE COLLECT AND WHY

3.1 Anonymous User Identifier

When you first launch the App, a unique anonymous identifier (UUID) is automatically generated and stored securely in your device’s Keychain. This identifier is not linked to your name, Apple ID, email address, or any other identifying information. It is used solely to:

— Synchronize your subscription status and tier with our servers
— Track your daily analysis usage to enforce subscription limits
— Maintain your consumable credit balance across sessions

Legal basis (GDPR): Legitimate interest and performance of a service contract.

3.2 Palm Images

To perform an AI analysis, the App captures photographs of your left and right palm using your device camera. These images are:

— Resized and encoded on your device
— Transmitted over an encrypted HTTPS connection to our backend server (fateweave.app)
— Forwarded to a third-party AI model to generate your reading
— Not stored on our servers after the analysis response is returned

Images are temporarily stored on your device only until you confirm or discard the analysis. We do not retain palm images on our infrastructure.

Legal basis (GDPR): Explicit consent given at the time of initiating an analysis.

3.3 Astrological and Personal Data

You may optionally provide the following during onboarding:

— Sun sign, moon sign, and ascendant sign
— Birth year

This data is stored locally on your device using Apple’s standard app storage (AppStorage / UserDefaults). It is transmitted to our backend as part of the analysis request solely to improve the relevance of the AI-generated reading. It is not stored server-side beyond the scope of the analysis request.

Legal basis (GDPR): Consent and performance of the service you requested.

3.4 Reading History and Feedback

The text of AI-generated readings, your feedback ratings (positive, neutral, or negative), and prediction outcome assessments (success, partial, or failed) are stored locally on your device. This data does not leave your device unless you explicitly share it.

3.5 Usage and Subscription Data

The following data is synchronized with our servers to manage your subscription:

— Daily analysis count (reset each day)
— Subscription tier (Awakening, Constant Star, or Master Path)
— Consumable credit balance (available, purchased, consumed)

This data is associated with your anonymous user identifier only and contains no personally identifiable information.

3.6 Transaction Data

All payment transactions, including subscription purchases and consumable credit purchases, are processed exclusively by Apple through the App Store. We do not collect, store, or process your payment card details or billing information. Transaction receipts are validated through Apple’s StoreKit 2 system. Apple’s Privacy Policy governs the handling of payment data: https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/

  1. CAMERA ACCESS

The App requests access to your device camera to capture palm images. Camera access is granted only when you actively initiate an analysis. The App does not access the camera in the background, does not record video, and does not transmit any camera data other than the palm images described in Section 3.2.

You may revoke camera permission at any time via your device Settings → Privacy & Security → Camera → FateWeave.

  1. PUSH NOTIFICATIONS

The App may request permission to send push notifications. This is entirely optional and does not affect core App functionality. You may grant or revoke this permission at any time via your device Settings → Notifications → FateWeave.

We do not use push notifications for advertising or promotional purposes without your consent.

  1. DATA SHARING AND THIRD PARTIES

We do not sell your personal data. We do not share your data with advertising networks or analytics providers.

Data is shared only in the following limited circumstances:

AI Processing Provider: Palm images, astrological data, birth year, and situation category are transmitted to our backend proxy and processed by a third-party AI model to generate your reading. This provider processes data on our behalf and is contractually prohibited from using it for any purpose other than fulfilling the analysis request. Data is not retained by the provider after the response is returned.

Apple Inc.: App Store purchases, subscription validation, and related transaction data are handled by Apple under their own Privacy Policy.

Legal or regulatory authorities: We may disclose data if required to do so by law, court order, or to protect our legal rights.

We do not use your data for targeted advertising, behavioral profiling, or any purpose beyond operating and improving the App.

  1. DATA RETENTION

Anonymous user identifier: Retained for as long as you have an active subscription or consumable balance, and for up to 12 months of inactivity thereafter, after which it is purged from our servers.

Usage and subscription data: Retained for the duration of your subscription and for 12 months after the last recorded activity.

Palm images: Not retained on our servers. Deleted immediately after the analysis response is generated.

Reading history and local app data: Stored on your device indefinitely until you delete the App or clear its data manually.

If you request deletion of your data, we will remove all server-side records associated with your anonymous user identifier within 30 days.

  1. DATA SECURITY

All data transmitted between the App and our servers uses TLS 1.2 or higher encryption. Your anonymous user identifier is stored in the iOS Keychain, which is the most secure storage available on iOS. Local app preferences are stored using Apple’s standard system APIs.

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect data against unauthorized access, loss, or alteration. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.

  1. CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

The App is rated 17+ on the App Store and is not directed at children under the age of 13, or under the applicable age of digital consent in your jurisdiction. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided data through the App, contact us at app@fateweave.app and we will delete it promptly.

  1. YOUR RIGHTS UNDER GDPR

Right to rectification: You may request correction of inaccurate data.

Right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”): You may request deletion of all personal data associated with your anonymous user identifier.

Right to restriction: You may request that we limit processing of your data in certain circumstances.

Right to data portability: You may request your data in a structured, machine-readable format.

Right to object: You may object to processing based on legitimate interests.
