Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 2026

Radar, Signals, and AI assistance

Radar uses your device location, including in the background when you enable nearby reminders. Restaurant matching, saved places, enrollment confirmations and the proximity alert history stay on your device. Perky does not upload your GPS coordinates or visit history. City directory requests can reveal the area you selected to our hosting provider. You can turn off Radar or revoke location permission at any time.

Signals submissions and response counts are public under a pseudonymous contributor identifier. Your account identity, abuse reports and blocked contributors are private. If you enable paid offer alerts, we store your push token, time zone and selected card types to send relevant notifications through Firebase. Disabling alerts removes that installation’s subscription. Account deletion removes private participation and authored offers, including their responses.

When you choose AI assistance, your typed query and selected city or pasted offer text are sent to Google Gemini. Do not include account numbers, payment information or personal details. We retain request identifiers and usage counts for quotas, not the full request text or draft result. Shared restaurant discovery uses public restaurant research; AI suggestions require review before they become nearby reminders.

Data Storage

Your card and loyalty program data is stored locally on your device by default. We don't store your tracking data on our servers unless you opt in to cross-device sync.

If you create an account, the following may be stored securely in Google Firebase (Firestore):

  • Your email and authentication credentials (via Firebase Authentication - passwords are never stored directly)
  • Premium subscription status and billing identifiers
  • Card and perk usage data (for cross-device sync)
  • Loyalty program balances (for cross-device sync)
  • App preferences such as theme and notification settings

Account Information

When you create an account, we collect your email (via Firebase Authentication) to:

  • Create and manage your account
  • Process payments and manage your subscription
  • Allow you to restore premium status on other devices
  • Sync your data across web and mobile
  • Send important account and billing notifications

We may also send occasional product updates. You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by emailing us or using the unsubscribe link.

Payments & Purchases

Premium subscriptions are processed by:

  • Stripe for web payments - we never see or store your full payment details
  • Apple App Store for iOS in-app purchases, managed via RevenueCat
  • Google Play Store for Android in-app purchases, managed via RevenueCat

RevenueCat is a third-party service that manages mobile subscription receipts and entitlements. They receive your anonymous app user ID and purchase receipts to validate your subscription. They do not receive your email or personal information. See RevenueCat's Privacy Policy for details.

Push Notifications

On mobile, you can opt in to push notifications for perk expiry reminders. We use Firebase Cloud Messaging to deliver these. You can disable notifications at any time in your device settings or the app's settings screen. We do not send marketing push notifications without your consent.

Analytics

We use PostHog, a privacy-focused analytics platform, to understand how people use Perky. This data is pseudonymous — events are linked to a random app ID, not to your name or email address — and helps us improve the app. We track events like cards added, perks toggled, and pages viewed. We don't sell this data to third parties.

Third-Party Services

Perky uses the following third-party services:

  • Firebase (Google) - Authentication, data storage, push notifications, remote configuration
  • Stripe - Web payment processing
  • RevenueCat - Mobile subscription management
  • PostHog - Privacy-focused analytics
  • Vercel - Web hosting

Each service has its own privacy policy. We encourage you to review them.

Account Deletion

You can delete your account and all associated data at any time from the Settings screen or by visiting theperkyapp.com/delete-account. This permanently removes your email, subscription data, synced cards, loyalty programs, and preferences from our servers.
