Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 28, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how Slow Forge Studio("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you use the EverCalc mobile application and website (collectively, the "Service").
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Account Information
When you create an account, we collect information provided through your authentication method:
- Google Sign-In: Name, email address, and profile picture from your Google account.
- Sign in with Apple: Name and email address (or a relay email if you choose to hide your email).
- Email & Password: Email address and a securely hashed password.
1.2 Calculation Data
Your calculations, expressions, results, session titles, categories, tags, notes, and favourite flags are stored locally on your device in an encrypted SQLite database. This data is never transmitted to our servers unless you explicitly use the Google Drive cloud sync feature.
1.3 Cloud Sync Data
If you use the Google Drive Cloud Sync feature (EverCalc Pro), your local database file is exported to your personal Google Drive account. We do not store, access, or have visibility into your synced data. The file is stored in your own Google Drive storage.
1.4 Analytics & Diagnostics
We collect anonymized usage data to improve the app experience:
- PostHog: Anonymized user event tracking (button taps, screen views, feature usage) to understand product usage patterns.
- Sentry: Error logs, crash reports, and performance metrics to identify and fix bugs.
- Firebase Analytics: General app usage statistics and engagement metrics.
1.5 Advertising Data
Free users may see banner ads served by Google AdMob. AdMob may collect device identifiers and usage data for ad targeting purposes. EverCalc Pro users enjoy an ad-free experience with no advertising data collection.
