Privacy Policy

Effective Date: May 31, 2025

1. Introduction

Interactive Applications LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to safeguarding your privacy. We do not collect or store any personal information from our website visitors or application users. This Privacy Policy explains our data practices, including the limited information we receive indirectly from third‐party platforms when sales occur. By accessing our website or using our products, you acknowledge and agree to the terms outlined herein.

2. Information We Do Not Collect

We want to be absolutely clear: Interactive Applications LLC does not collect, track, or store any personal or usage data from individuals. In plain terms:

• No Personal Identifiers: We never request or retain your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, or any other piece of personal information.
• No Account or Registration: There is no registration, login, or account creation process on our website or within our applications. You can use our services freely without providing any personal details.
• No Location or Device Data Sent: Although our iOS app Horology: Measuring Time uses your device’s local time, timezone, and lunar‐phase calculations to display accurate information, it does so entirely on your device. None of that data is transmitted back to us.
• No Cookies or Tracking: We do not employ cookies, tracking pixels, web beacons, or analytics scripts of any kind—neither first‐party nor third‐party. We do not monitor page views, button clicks, screen views, or any form of user interaction.
• No Usage or Behavioral Analytics: We do not collect or record any data on how you navigate, use, or interact with our website or applications. There is no logging of user actions, session durations, or feature usage statistics.
• No Data Transmission: All of our applications are designed to run entirely on your local device. They do not connect to any external servers, APIs, or cloud services for functionality, nor do they transmit any data back to us.
• No Email or Direct Marketing: We do not send marketing emails, newsletters, or promotional messages because we do not have any contact information for our users.

In short: if you are using our website or any of our applications, you are completely anonymous. We have no mechanism—automatic or manual—to gather, store, or share any information about you.

3. Information We Do Receive from Third Parties

Although we do not collect data ourselves, we obtain strictly aggregated, anonymized sales metrics from our distribution partners under the terms of our agreements. Specifically:

• Book Sales via Amazon Print-on-Demand: When copies of our book (e.g., “The ABC’s of UX”) are printed and sold through Amazon’s service, Amazon provides us with anonymized sales figures—such as total units sold, gross revenue, and high‐level geographic breakdowns. We do not receive any personal identifiers (names, email addresses, addresses, transaction IDs) of individual purchasers.
• App Downloads via Apple’s App Store: When users download or purchase our iOS applications (e.g., “Horology: Measuring Time”) via Apple’s App Store, Apple supplies us with aggregate download counts, regional distribution summaries, and anonymized usage trends. We do not receive any personally identifiable data (Apple IDs, email addresses, device IDs) of individual users.

All data we get from Amazon and Apple is strictly aggregate and anonymized. We do not have access to any personal contact information or purchase details of individual customers or users.

4. How We Use Sales Metrics

The anonymized, aggregate data we receive from Amazon and Apple is used solely for:

• Business Analytics: Monitoring overall sales performance, identifying geographic trends, and making decisions about future print‐on‐demand runs or app enhancements.
• Product Development: Prioritizing updates, feature improvements, or new offerings based on download volumes and regional demand.
• Financial Reporting: Maintaining accounting records, fulfilling tax obligations, and auditing revenue streams from book sales and app distributions.

We do not combine these aggregated figures with any personally identifying data. We do not use sales metrics for marketing, profiling, or unsolicited communications.

5. Data Security

Since we do not collect or store any personal or usage information, there is no personal data at risk. However, we still take reasonable measures to protect our own business records and aggregated metrics. In the unlikely event that Amazon or Apple data is compromised, we will follow applicable laws and notify any relevant parties as required.

6. Third-Party Links and Services

Our website does not embed any third‐party tracking scripts, cookies, or advertising networks. Any external links—such as those pointing to Amazon, Apple’s App Store, or other partner sites—are provided solely for convenience. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these external websites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies separately.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to amend or update this Privacy Policy at any time. When we do, we will revise the “Effective Date” at the top of this page. Continued use of our website or products after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.

8. No Contact Information Collected

Because we do not collect any personal information, we do not maintain any customer email addresses, phone numbers, or mailing addresses. If you have questions about this policy, you may visit our website for general information; we do not offer direct email or phone support.
