Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 6, 2026

Introduction

PouchOut ("we", "us", "our") is operated by APP STAR FAMILY PTE. LTD., a company incorporated in Singapore.

This Privacy Policy explains what information may be processed when you use the PouchOut mobile application ("PouchOut" or the "App") and our related website, how that information is used, and the choices and rights available to you.

We aim to collect and process only the information reasonably necessary to provide, maintain, understand, and improve PouchOut.

Usage and Craving Tracking Data

PouchOut lets you log pouch use, cravings, triggers, and progress toward your personal quitting goals. This information is stored locally on your device and is not transmitted to or stored on our servers.

Because this data stays on your device, we do not have access to it, cannot recover it if your device is lost or reset, and it is not included in any account-level data we hold about you.

HealthKit and Heart Rate Data

With your permission, PouchOut may read heart rate data from Apple's HealthKit framework to help you understand patterns between your nicotine use and physical indicators such as heart rate.

Heart rate data accessed through HealthKit is processed on your device to provide this feature and is not transmitted to our servers.

We do not use HealthKit data for advertising, marketing, or any use-based data mining purpose, and we do not share HealthKit data with third parties, consistent with Apple's requirements for apps that use HealthKit.

You control HealthKit permissions at any time through your device's Settings app, under Privacy & Security, then Health.

Other Information We Collect and Process

Depending on how you use PouchOut, we may also process the following types of information:

  • Device information — such as device type, operating system version, app version, and identifiers required for app functionality or subscription management.
  • Subscription and purchase information — subscription status, product identifiers, purchase entitlement information, and related transaction information. Payments are processed by Apple; we do not receive or store your full payment-card details.
  • Information you choose to submit — for example, information you provide when contacting support.

We do not sell your personal information.

Website Analytics

Our website may use analytics tools, including Vercel Analytics and, where enabled, Google Analytics, to understand how visitors use the website and to improve its content and performance.

Website analytics are separate from the App itself. The App's craving and usage tracking data described above is not shared with these website analytics tools.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website may use cookies and similar tracking technologies for analytics. Where required by applicable law, including the laws of the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, we will request your consent before non-essential cookies or tracking technologies are activated, and you may withdraw that consent at any time.

Subscription Management

PouchOut uses RevenueCat to help manage subscription entitlements and purchase status.

RevenueCat may process information such as an app user identifier, subscription product, entitlement status, and transaction information required to determine whether premium features should be available.

Purchases and billing are processed through Apple's App Store. We do not receive or store your full payment-card information.

How We Use Information

We may use information processed through PouchOut to:

  • Provide and operate PouchOut's features
  • Determine subscription and premium-feature eligibility
  • Diagnose errors, crashes, and technical problems reported to us
  • Understand how visitors use our website
  • Improve features, usability, reliability, and performance
  • Respond to support requests and communications
  • Prevent misuse and protect the security and integrity of our services

Third-Party Services

PouchOut relies on third-party services to provide certain features. These services operate under their own terms and privacy policies. They may include:

  • Apple Inc. — App Store, StoreKit, and HealthKit
  • RevenueCat — subscription and entitlement management
  • Vercel Analytics and, where enabled, Google Analytics — website analytics

Third-Party Services (continued)

The availability and operation of third-party services are outside our direct control.

International Data Transfers

APP STAR FAMILY PTE. LTD. is based in Singapore, and our service providers are located in various countries, including the United States. Where we transfer personal data originating from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland to a country that has not been recognized as providing an adequate level of data protection, we rely on appropriate safeguards permitted under applicable law, such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses or an equivalent mechanism.

EU and UK Representative

For users in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, where applicable law requires the appointment of a local representative, contact information for our representative will be published here once designated. In the meantime, EEA and UK users may direct privacy inquiries to info@appstarfamily.net.

Data Storage and Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures intended to protect information processed through PouchOut.

No method of electronic transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children

PouchOut is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

In the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, the age at which a child can consent to data processing without parental authorization may be higher than 13, depending on the specific country.

If you believe a child has provided personal information to us without appropriate consent, please contact us at info@appstarfamily.net so that we can review and, where appropriate, delete the information.
