Privacy Policy – Hot Seat

Last updated: March 2026

1. Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how Hot Seat ("the App"), operated by Whio Studios ("we", "us", "our"), collects, uses, and protects information.

We are committed to minimising data collection and protecting user privacy.


2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide

We may store information you input into the App, such as saved preferences or content.

2.2 Automatically Collected Information

We use privacy-focused analytics tools, including PostHog, to collect anonymised usage data.

This may include:

  • App usage events (e.g. screens viewed, features used)
  • Device type and operating system
  • Approximate, non-identifiable location

We do not collect personally identifiable information unless it is explicitly provided.


3. Payments

Payments and subscriptions are processed by Apple and RevenueCat.

We do not collect or store:

  • Payment card details
  • Billing information

All payment data is handled by Apple in accordance with its policies.


4. Data Storage and iCloud

The App uses Apple iCloud services to store and synchronise user data.

  • Data is stored within the user's personal iCloud account
  • We do not access, transmit, or store this data on our own servers
  • Data persistence is managed using Apple technologies, including SwiftData

5. Use of Information

We use collected information to:

  • Operate and maintain the App
  • Improve functionality and user experience
  • Monitor performance and diagnose issues

We do not sell personal data.


6. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

  • PostHog (analytics)
  • RevenueCat (subscription management)
  • Apple (payments and iCloud storage)

These providers may process data in accordance with their own privacy policies.


7. Data Retention

  • Analytics data is retained only as long as necessary for product improvement
  • User data stored in iCloud is controlled and retained by the user

8. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to:

  • Access your data
  • Request deletion
  • Object to or restrict processing

As most data is anonymised or stored in iCloud, users can manage or delete their data directly via their Apple device settings.


9. Children's Privacy

The App is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.


10. International Users

Your information may be processed in jurisdictions outside your country of residence, including where third-party providers operate.


11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Continued use of the App constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
