1. Introduction

Welcome to foobar.js ("we," "our," or "us"), a JavaScript learning app. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our mobile application (the "App").

Developer: Onofrei Iulian
Contact: foobar.talks@gmail.com
Location: Moldova

This Privacy Policy is available both inside the foobar.js app and linked on the App Store product page for easy access, as well as on our official website. If you would like this Privacy Policy in an accessible format, please contact us and we will provide it.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Personal Information

We do not collect, store, or process any personal information. foobar.js is designed to protect your privacy by operating without requiring personal data.

2.2 Automatically Collected Information

The App may automatically collect certain non-personal technical information, including:

  • Device type and operating system version
  • App usage statistics (lessons completed, quiz scores)
  • App performance data

Important: All learning progress, achievements, and quiz results are stored locally on your device only and are never transmitted to our servers.

foobar.js does not use third-party analytics or collect non-personal usage statistics through external services. The App requests permission for push notifications solely to send reminders about lessons or achievements, and you can disable these any time in device settings.

2.3 Cookies & Tracking Technologies

The App does not use cookies or third-party tracking technologies, except for Apple's advertising pixels (which you can control in device settings). All user data remains on your device without any cloud synchronization or remote tracking mechanisms.

2.4 Log Data & Server Records

Our servers may automatically log: IP addresses, device type, access times, pages viewed, and referrer information for security and troubleshooting purposes only. This data is retained for 90 days and then permanently deleted. Log data is never used to personally identify users.

2.5 California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA) Disclosure

In compliance with CalOPPA, foobar.js posts this Privacy Policy in a clear and accessible manner. We do not collect personal information, but we disclose the following as required:

  • How users can review changes to this Privacy Policy
  • The effective date and the date of the last update are displayed at the top
  • Users can review any updates through App Store update notes, in-app notifications, and the updated policy effective date
  • "Do Not Track" (DNT) Signals: Since foobar.js does not track users or collect PII, we do not respond to browser or device DNT signals

3. Third-Party Services

3.1 Apple Advertising

We use Apple's advertising services to display advertisements within the App. Apple may collect and use information in accordance with their privacy policy. You can learn more about Apple's advertising practices and opt-out options at:

https://www.apple.com/privacy/
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202074

3.2 In-App Purchases

All in-app purchases are processed through Apple's App Store. We do not collect or store your payment information. Apple handles all transaction data according to their privacy policy. foobar.js never has access to full payment credentials, CVV, or complete card numbers. All transactions are PCI-DSS compliant through Apple's secure infrastructure.

3.3 Push Notifications

We may send push notifications to remind you about lessons or celebrate achievements. These notifications are processed through Apple's Push Notification Service and do not contain personal information. You can disable notifications in your device settings at any time.

4. How We Use Information

  • Ensure the App functions properly
  • Improve user experience
  • Display relevant advertisements through Apple's advertising network

5. Data Storage and Security

  • Local Storage Only: All your learning progress, achievements, and preferences are stored locally on your device
  • No Cloud Storage: We do not store any user data on remote servers
  • Device Security: Your data security depends on your device's security settings

5.1 Security Measures

We implement industry-standard security practices to protect your data:

  • All data transmissions use industry-standard encryption (SSL/TLS protocols)
  • Device data is encrypted at rest using the iOS device's built-in encryption mechanisms
  • Access to any stored data is restricted to authorized processes only
  • We regularly review and update security practices to maintain data integrity

5.2 Data Breach Notification Policy

In the event of a data breach affecting user data stored on our servers or transmitted through our services, we will notify affected users within 30 days as required by applicable law. Notifications will be sent via email and in-app notifications. Given that most user data is stored locally on devices, the risk of server-side breaches is minimized.

6. Data Sharing

We do not share, sell, or transfer any personal information because we don't collect it. The only data sharing occurs through:

  • Apple's advertising network (as described in Section 3.1)
  • Apple's App Store for in-app purchases (as described in Section 3.2)

7. Children's Privacy

foobar.js is suitable for users of all ages, including children under 13. Since we don't collect personal information, we comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and similar international regulations.
