Versions covered. iOS V1 0.6 / build28 remains ad-free. The existing sections below describe V1; the additional “V2 trials: consent and advertising” section describes the V2 pilot’s processing, limited to Google demonstration ads when activated. Commercial advertising is not announced as active. Advertising and notifications are separate capabilities: an ad-free version does not imply that another version has no notifications.
Data stored locally
The application stores your language, onboarding state, reduced-motion preference, the identifiers of projects selected in SCOPE GUARD and certain interface markers on the iPhone. These preferences remain local until they are changed, removed or the application is reset.
Cache and public data
The public Feed, its manifest, history and events may be stored in the application’s Application Support folder. Writes are atomic and hashes are verified. A recent cache may be used when the network is unavailable. Demonstration fixtures are bundled with the application and contain no user data.
Apple subscriptions
Apple StoreKit provides products, prices, purchases and restoration. ARKOSCOPE uses the transaction state supplied by Apple to calculate access. The application does not store or log purchase receipts.
Network calls and third-party services
- The public JSON Feed is hosted on Cloudflare R2 and read through anonymous HTTPS GET requests, without a body, account, cookie, followed-project list or authorization header.
- The application does not contact CoinGecko directly.
- Apple processes StoreKit operations under its own terms.
- VISION PRO uses an optional account created through Sign in with Apple, only to tie the paid subscription to its owner. ARKOSCOPE receives no name and no email address from it. Apple’s App Attest is used to protect the private delivery against abuse.
- The public website is hosted by Cloudflare Pages. ARKOSCOPE adds no analytics, advertising pixel or application cookie; Cloudflare may process technical data required for HTTPS delivery under its own policy.
What is not collected
No name, email address, phone number, location, contacts, wallet, holdings, purchase price, PnL, capital, wealth, financial profile or personal investment objective. The optional VISION PRO account carries none of these either. In iOS V1 0.6 / build28, ARKOSCOPE adds no analytics, advertising, tracking, push notifications, Firebase, Supabase or advertising identifier. The additional processing for the V2 advertising pilot is described below; it does not change V1 features.
The exclusions in this section concern the ARKOSCOPE features described above. They do not mean that the advertising SDKs used in V2 trials process no technical data: an IP address may, for example, be used to estimate an approximate geographical location.
V2 trials: consent and advertising
V2 trials use Google AdMob and Google User Messaging Platform (UMP) to show demonstration ads and collect privacy choices. An ad is not an ARKOSCOPE publication, source or analysis.
The advertising flow applies only to SCOPE FEED when FREE status is established and privacy conditions are met. Recognized monthly or annual PRO, including an accepted grace period, does not trigger advertising-engine startup or ad requests. While entitlement is undetermined, the Feed remains ad-free. Access to previous privacy choices may remain available after switching to PRO.
UMP updates choices and presents the applicable form. You can revisit your choices through the app’s advertising privacy option when available. Refusal, an error or the absence of an ad does not block the Feed. Withdrawing consent or switching to PRO removes ad cards and stops new requests; it cannot retroactively cancel an exchange already transmitted.
The integration aims to serve non-personalized ads, does not request ATT permission to improve advertising, and disables the SDK’s Publisher first-party ID and Publisher Privacy Personalization option. These settings do not mean that no advertising data is collected or processed. Google SDKs may process an IP address and approximate location, device identifiers depending on permissions and configuration, app and ad interactions, and performance and diagnostic data. Processing may support ad delivery and measurement, operation, security and service improvement. ARKOSCOPE adds no Firebase, separate analytics SDK or multi-network mediation for this trial.
ARKOSCOPE does not provide Google with the ARKOSCOPE account identity, followed projects, PRO dossiers, a portfolio, private preferences or internal dossier URLs for targeting. Ads do not influence editorial rules and never become engine sources.
The pilot selects Google Advertising Products as its advertising partner in UMP. This does not mean that no other parties participate in Google’s processing. See Google’s information about partner apps, privacy policy and advertising information. These describe processing, retention, transfers and choices offered by Google. ARKOSCOPE does not guarantee one retention period for all data processed by Google.
The app retains choices managed by UMP according to its operation, a local marker for finding previously used options, and a temporary in-memory ad cache. Withdrawing consent is not an automatic request to erase data already held by Google. ARKOSCOPE privacy requests can be sent to privacy@arkoscope.com; requests concerning Google use the methods in its policy.
An inappropriate ad can be reported through the controls provided with it or to ARKOSCOPE support. Do not include advertising identifiers, personal documents or financial information in a report.
This section covers only the demonstration pilot. Future commercial advertising for FREE, with ad-free PRO, remains subject to checking its configuration and updating the applicable information before launch.
Retention and deletion
Preferences and cache stay on the device. A user may unfollow a project or delete the application and its local data using iOS controls. Transactions are retained and administered by Apple.
Your rights and contact
ARKOSCOPE has no account that links local preferences to a person. For a privacy question or request, write to privacy@arkoscope.com. The controller is Augusto Canada y Flioris, Rue Trieu Kaisin 175A, 6061 Montignies-sur-Sambre, Belgium.
