Privacy Policy

Last updated: [EFFECTIVE DATE]

This Privacy Policy explains how Buy Me Later handles information when you use the Buy Me Later mobile application and our website at https://buymelater.com/.

Buy Me Later is operated by FOP Kuper Mykola Andriiovych, an individual entrepreneur registered in Ukraine, located at Parashchuka St. 18, Apt. 26, Terebovlia, Ternopil Oblast, Ukraine 48101. You can contact us at support@buymelater.com.

1. Summary

Buy Me Later is designed as a local-first app. In the current MVP, we do not require an account, do not operate a backend for app data, do not use advertising SDKs, and do not use third-party analytics SDKs. The shopping pause data you create is stored locally on your device unless a future feature changes this and we update this Privacy Policy.

2. Information stored locally on your device

When you use the app, you may choose to create product pause entries. Depending on what you enter, the app may store the following information locally on your device:

  • product name

  • price

  • optional product link or URL

  • optional store name

  • optional reason or note

  • optional product photo

  • pause duration and pause dates

  • reflection answers

  • decision status, such as do not buy, delay more, add to wishlist, or mark as purchased

  • purchase price if you add it

  • stats such as potential money kept or potential spending avoided based on your own entries

  • settings and monetization state such as free pause attempts used and Premium state

in the current MVP, this information is stored locally and is not sent to Buy Me Later servers because there is no backend in the MVP.

3. Product photos

If you add a product photo, the photo is stored locally in app-controlled storage on your device. The current MVP does not upload product photos to Buy Me Later servers. Product photo files are not included in the current JSON export. The export may indicate whether a product entry has a photo.

4. Camera, Photo Library, and Notifications

The app may request access to:

  • Camera - so you can take a product photo if you choose.

  • Photo Library - so you can select a product photo if you choose.

  • Notifications - so the app can remind you when a pause period ends.

These permissions are optional at the operating system level. If you do not allow a permission, the related feature may not work, but you can still use other parts of the app where available.

5. Local notifications

Buy Me Later schedules local notifications on your device to remind you when a pause period ends. The current MVP does not use a push notification server. Notification delivery depends on iOS settings and system behavior, and we cannot guarantee that a notification will be delivered at an exact time.

6. Purchases and StoreKit

Premium purchases are processed by Apple through StoreKit / In-App Purchases. Buy Me Later does not collect or process your credit card number, payment card security code, or Apple Account payment credentials. Apple may provide purchase status or entitlement information that allows the app to determine whether you have an active trial, active subscription, Premium One-Time Unlock, or restored purchase.

Refund requests and billing issues for Apple In-App Purchases are generally handled by Apple. We may help you understand how to restore purchases or request support, but we do not control Apple refund decisions.

7. No account and no account deletion in current MVP

The current MVP does not require account creation, login, or a user profile. Because there is no account in the current MVP, there is no account deletion flow. The app provides local data deletion for app data stored on your device.

8. Local data export

The app allows or is intended to allow you to export local app data as JSON. The export may include settings, items, prices, product links if added, stores, notes, pause dates, decisions, reflection answers, purchase prices, stats summary, and monetization summary such as free attempts used and Premium state. Product photo files are not included in the current JSON export.

9. Local data deletion

When you delete local data in the app, the app is intended to delete local products, pauses, product photos, decisions, reflections, stats, and local notifications from that device. Deleting local data does not cancel an Apple subscription, does not remove StoreKit purchase entitlement, and does not restore used free pause attempts. must not clear the monetization_state table if the product promise is that used free pause attempts are not reset by deletion.

10. Website

The public website at https://buymelater.com/ is intended to be a static website with contact information, legal pages, and an App Store link. It is not intended to use cookies, analytics, contact forms, newsletter signup, or tracking technologies in the MVP. If this changes, this Privacy Policy must be updated before the change is launched.

11. Analytics, advertising, and tracking

In the current MVP, Buy Me Later does not use third-party analytics SDKs, advertising SDKs, or advertising tracking. We do not sell personal data. We do not track users across apps or websites for advertising purposes.

Future update trigger: if we add analytics SDKs, marketing attribution SDKs, advertising SDKs, cookies, server-side tracking, or similar technologies, we must update this Privacy Policy and the App Store privacy answers before release.

12. Crash diagnostics

In the current MVP, crash diagnostics are intended to be limited to Apple diagnostics/App Store Connect crash reports. If we add a third-party crash reporting SDK, such as Sentry, Firebase Crashlytics, or a similar provider, we must update this Privacy Policy and the App Store privacy answers before release.

13. Children

Buy Me Later is not directed to children. The recommended minimum age for the app is 16+. If you are under the minimum age required in your country to use apps or digital services without parental consent, you should use the app only with permission from a parent or legal guardian.

14. International users

We are based in Ukraine and may make the app available in the United States, Canada, the European Union, the United Kingdom, Ukraine, and Australia. Depending on where you live, you may have privacy or consumer rights under local law. Nothing in this Privacy Policy is intended to limit rights that cannot be limited under applicable law.

15. Your choices

  • You can choose what product information to enter.

  • You can choose whether to add photos, links, notes, or reflection answers.

  • You can disable notifications in iOS settings.

  • You can export local app data where the export feature is available.

  • You can delete local app data from your device.

  • You can restore eligible purchases through Apple using Restore Purchases.
