Privacy Policy

Last updated: [DATE BEFORE LAUNCH]

Shoresh ("we," "our," or "us") is operated by Talking Ventures LLC. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information about you when you use the Shoresh iOS application ("App").

Information We Collect

We collect the following categories of information:

• Account information: your name, email address, and username when you create an account via Apple Sign-In or email.
• Profile information: your display name, profile picture, and any optional bio you provide.
• User content: discussions, responses, comments, reactions, and references to Torah texts that you post within the App.
• Device information: device token for push notifications, iOS version, and basic device type. We do not collect advertising identifiers.
• Usage information: in-app events (screens viewed, actions taken) to improve the product. This data is aggregated and not sold.

How We Use Your Information

• To create and maintain your account.
• To display your content to other users within communities you belong to.
• To send you push notifications and in-app notifications about activity relevant to you (subject to your settings).
• To process subscription payments through Apple's In-App Purchase system.
• To improve and debug the App.
• To enforce our Terms of Service and community guidelines.

Information Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only in these limited circumstances:

• Service providers: We use Supabase (database and authentication), Apple Sign-In (authentication), RevenueCat (subscription management), and OneSignal (push notifications). Each provider processes data solely to deliver their service.
• Legal requirements: We may disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights and safety of our users.

Data Retention

We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. You may delete your account at any time from the App's Settings screen, which permanently removes your profile and content from our systems within 30 days.

You have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you.
• Request correction of inaccurate data.
• Delete your account and associated data.
• Opt out of push notifications via your device settings.
