Wicked Tarot
Privacy policy
Contact: astro@alselene.com
Who we are
Wicked Tarot is published by Alselene. This policy covers the Wicked Tarot app only. The website at alselene.com is a separate product and has its own terms when you use it.
The short version
The deck works offline. There is no account, no ads, and no subscription. Notes and readings stay on the phone. The one-time unlock is handled by Google Play and RevenueCat, and that is the only time the app needs to talk to a purchase service.
What stays on the phone
The 78 cards, quizzes, and sky text are part of the app. After you install it, you can read them with no network.
The app stores these on the device, and does not upload them:
- Journal entries and notes you write (notes are limited to 2000 characters).
- The reading currently on screen.
- Whether reversals are on.
Clearing the app's storage, or uninstalling, deletes that data. We cannot read it, because it is not sent to us.
A development preview, used only when the app has no store key, may also remember a local unlock flag on that phone. That flag is not a receipt and it is not sent anywhere. Store builds that include the RevenueCat key do not use it.
Purchases
The paid product is a one-time unlock of the deck. The product id is wicked_tarot_forever. The entitlement is deck_forever. The price shown in the app is $4.99 unless Google Play returns a local price. There is no subscription.
Google Play Billing takes the payment. Wicked Tarot does not receive your card number, your full name, or your billing address.
Purchase validation uses RevenueCat (the react-native-purchases SDK) and the public Android SDK key shipped in that build. When the key is present, the app contacts RevenueCat at startup to see whether this install is already unlocked. That request includes:
- An anonymous app user id created by RevenueCat, not an account you create.
- The Google Play purchase token, if you buy or restore.
- Basic app and device information RevenueCat needs to validate the entitlement (platform, app version, and the connection's IP address as part of the HTTPS request).
The app turns off RevenueCat diagnostics and turns off automatic advertising-identifier collection. The Android advertising-ID permission is blocked. Journal text, card draws, and quiz answers are not included in the purchase request.
Restore purchases, on the purchase screen and in Settings, asks Google Play and RevenueCat whether this Google account already bought the deck. Use it after a reinstall or on another phone signed into the same Google account.
If a build has no public Android key, it does not configure RevenueCat and does not contact RevenueCat. A release build in that state stays locked and cannot charge you. The browser preview and a development build stay open so the deck can be read, and they do not charge you.
RevenueCat's own privacy policy describes what their service stores: revenuecat.com/privacy. Google's policy covers the Play purchase: policies.google.com/privacy.
Sharing a card
If you tap share, the app draws a picture on the phone and opens the Android share sheet. Whatever you send goes to the app you pick. Wicked Tarot does not receive a copy and does not run its own upload.
The Alselene link
Settings and the sky tab can open https://alselene.com in your browser. That is a waitlist for a different product. The app does not attach your journal or your purchase to that visit. From the moment the browser opens, that site's own policy applies.
The books link
Settings has a small "Books by Hanan Golden" link. It opens https://www.amazon.com/Hanan-Golden/e/B0HP8TDXY4 in your browser. The app does not send anything with that visit. Amazon's own policy applies there.
What we do not do
- No account or password.
- No ads, and no advertising ID.
- No subscription.
- No analytics SDK and no crash reporter.
- No location, contacts, camera, microphone, or photo-library access.
- No sale of personal information.
Children
Wicked Tarot is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. The Play listing is aimed at adults.
Deletion
Uninstall the app, or clear its storage, to delete the journal and settings on that phone. To ask us to delete the anonymous RevenueCat id tied to a purchase, email astro@alselene.com with the subject "Wicked Tarot deletion" and, if you have it, the Google account that bought the app. We will pass that request to RevenueCat. We may keep a purchase record where tax or store rules require it. Deleting the RevenueCat id does not refund the purchase. Refunds are requested through Google Play.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted at this same address, https://alselene.com/wicked-tarot/privacy, with a new effective date. The copy in the app repository is docs/privacy-policy.html.
