Lovecup
Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 15, 2026
Who we are
Lovecup (“the app”, “we”, “us”) is developed and published by Matvey Pirogov, the controller of the personal data described in this policy. Contact: lovecup@pirog.app.
Data that stays on your device
These are stored only on your phone, in the app’s local storage:
- a game played with the demo partner: names, answers, points, bets, wishes and cards;
- app settings such as the theme and your privacy choices.
We do not receive this data. It is included in your device backups according to your backup settings. Deleting the app deletes it from your phone.
Data stored on our servers when you link two phones
When you create a couple and invite your partner, or join with a code, the couple’s game is stored on our servers so both phones can play it:
- the first names and the couple name you typed in;
- the game itself: answers in rounds, points, levels and streaks, bets and their stakes, wishes and coupons, wishlist items, test cards, the secret missions you took and your guesses about them, the season prize you named, weekly quest progress, the date cards you drew, how many cards you played in games for two (not the cards themselves), whether you switched competition off, and the couple’s history;
- a short-lived “I’m here” signal while the home screen is open, so that two phones can clink cups together;
- an anonymous account ID for each phone and the time zone of the phone that created the couple (it defines when the couple’s day starts);
- only if you allow notifications: your phone’s push token, the app language, your phone’s time zone and whether partner notifications are on — so that we can tell you when your partner makes a move, and never at night.
Only the two of you can read your couple’s data in the app. We do not ask for an email, a password or a phone number. We use this data only to run the game for the two of you (performance of a contract). It is stored in the European Union.
Deleting it. Settings → Leave the couple frees your seat. When both partners have left, the couple and all of its data are deleted from our servers. You can also write to lovecup@pirog.app and we will delete it for you.
Data processed by services we use
| Service | What and why | Your choice |
|---|---|---|
| Apple (App Store, StoreKit) | Payments for Lovecup Pro are handled by Apple under Apple’s privacy policy. We never see your payment details. | — |
| RevenueCat, Inc. (USA) | Manages Pro subscriptions and purchases: a random app user ID, purchase and subscription records, app version and device type. Used to unlock Pro, restore purchases and count subscriptions. | Needed to sell and restore Pro (contract). |
| Apple Ads attribution (Apple, via RevenueCat) | If you install Lovecup after tapping one of our ads on the App Store, the app gets an attribution token from Apple’s AdServices framework, and RevenueCat exchanges it with Apple for the campaign, ad group, keyword and country of that ad. No advertising identifier (IDFA) is used, and Apple does not treat this as tracking. Used only to see which of our ads pay off. | Legitimate interest (measuring our own ads). You can object at any time: lovecup@pirog.app. |
| Google Firebase Authentication, Cloud Firestore and Cloud Functions (Google Ireland) | Only when you link two phones: an anonymous account ID, and the couple’s game data listed above. Stored and processed in the European Union. Used to keep the game in sync on both phones and to count points on the server. | Needed to play on two phones (contract). The demo partner mode works without it. |
| Firebase Cloud Messaging (Google) and Apple Push Notification service (Apple) | Only for a linked couple and only if you allow notifications: your phone’s push token and the notification itself — your partner’s first name and what happened, for example “answered the round” or “suggested a bet”. Answers, bets and wishes are never put into a notification. Used to tell you about your partner’s moves. | Allow or deny notifications on your phone; partner notifications can be turned off in Settings → Reminders. |
| Google Firebase Analytics (Google LLC / Google Ireland) | Pseudonymous usage events: which screens you open and whether the Pro screen was shown, a purchase was made or purchases were restored, plus device model, OS version, app version and approximate country. Your answers, names and wishes are never part of these events. No advertising ID is collected and the data is not used for ads. | In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland — only if you say yes during setup (consent). Elsewhere — on by default (legitimate interest). Off at any time: Settings → Privacy. |
| Google Firebase Crashlytics | Crash reports: the error, the state of the app when it crashed, device model, OS and app version. Used only to find and fix bugs. | On by default (legitimate interest). Off at any time: Settings → Privacy. |
Reminders are local notifications that your phone schedules for itself from your own game (an evening reminder about the round, a full cup, a cooling flame); no push service is involved and nothing is sent to deliver them. You can turn them off at any time in Settings → Reminders or in your phone’s notification settings. Notifications about your partner’s moves are push notifications, described above.
Links to the App Store
Links to Lovecup on our website and in our posts carry a campaign name, for example “launch-post”. Apple reports to us, in aggregate, how many people downloaded or subscribed after following each link.
What we don’t do
- No email, password or phone number: linking two phones uses an anonymous ID. No ads in the app and no advertising SDKs.
- Nothing a couple writes is public: your answers, bets and wishes are visible only to the two of you.
- No tracking across apps and websites owned by other companies, and no advertising identifier (IDFA).
- We don’t sell or share your personal data for advertising.
How long data is kept
On-device data stays until you delete it or the app. A linked couple’s data is kept while the couple exists and is deleted when both partners have left it. Your push token is deleted when you leave the couple; a token that stops working is deleted when we notice it. Analytics data is kept for up to 14 months and crash reports for up to 90 days. Purchase records are kept by RevenueCat while needed to provide Pro and to meet legal accounting obligations.
International transfers
RevenueCat and Google may process data in the United States. These transfers rely on the EU–US Data Privacy Framework and/or the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR or US state laws), you may have the right to access, correct or delete your data, to object to or restrict processing, to data portability and to withdraw consent at any time. Demo games never leave your device, and a linked couple’s data is deleted when you both leave the couple. For that, or for analytics, crash or purchase data, write to lovecup@pirog.app — include the approximate date of purchase if your request is about a subscription. You can also complain to your local data protection authority.
Children
Lovecup is not directed at children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect data from them.
Changes
If this policy changes, we will update this page and the date above. Significant changes will also be noted in the app’s release notes.
