The short version: ShowNotSay works fully offline, has no login, no ads, and no feed. The only personal information we ever collect is the email and name you give us if you make the one-time in-app purchase, so we can email you a license code.
Overview
ShowNotSay ("ShowNotSay", "we", "us", or "our") is a mobile app that lets you show a pre-written or custom message on your phone screen instead of speaking it out loud. This Privacy Policy explains what information the app collects, how it's used, and the choices you have.
ShowNotSay is a utility, not a platform. There is no account system, no social layer, and no feed. It is designed to work entirely offline, and the vast majority of what you do in the app, browsing messages, customizing a display, showing it to someone, never touches a network at all.
By using ShowNotSay, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with our practices, please discontinue use of the app.
Information We Collect
ShowNotSay collects the minimum information necessary, and only in one specific circumstance.
Information You Provide
- Purchase details (email and name): Collected only if and when you make the app's one-time "unlock everything" purchase, as part of or immediately after the purchase flow. This is the only place in the entire app where personal information is requested.
What We Do Not Collect
- No account registration — there is no sign-up or login anywhere in the app.
- No message content is collected — predefined messages you browse and any custom messages you write stay entirely on your device.
- No location, contacts, microphone, or camera data.
- No advertising identifiers — the app shows no ads.
Note on the purchase flow: Purchases are processed through the App Store / Play Store via RevenueCat. We never see or store your payment card details — those are handled entirely by Apple/Google.
How We Use Your Data
Since the app collects almost nothing, there is almost nothing to use. The one exception:
| Purpose | Data Used |
|---|---|
| Emailing you a license code so you can restore your purchase on another device or platform | Email address, name |
Your email and name are used solely to deliver and, if needed, re-send your license code. They are not used for marketing, not added to a mailing list, and no profile is built from them.
Offline by Design
The entire core loop of the app, browsing the message library, customizing a message's language/color/style, and displaying it full-screen, works with zero network connection. All predefined messages and their translations are bundled with the app itself, not fetched from a server.
Because there is no backend handling this everyday usage, there is nothing for us to log, track, or store about how you browse or what you show. Network access is only ever used for the purchase and restore flows described above.
Custom Messages & Local Storage
If you write your own custom message (a paid feature), it is saved entirely on your device using local storage. Custom messages are never uploaded, synced, or transmitted anywhere.
This also means custom messages are not backed up by us: if you reinstall the app or switch devices, custom messages you've written will not be preserved. Your predefined-message unlock status, however, is recoverable via Restore Purchases or your emailed license code, since that is tracked at the store/RevenueCat level, not tied to on-device data.
How We Share Data
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. The very small amount of data we collect (your purchase email and name) is shared only as strictly necessary to operate the purchase flow:
- RevenueCat — manages the in-app purchase and entitlement state on our behalf.
- Apple / Google — process the underlying store transaction; we never see your payment details.
- Email delivery provider — used solely to send your license code to the email address you provide.
We never sell your data. There is no advertising network, no data broker relationship, and no third party that receives your information for any purpose beyond delivering your license code.
Data Retention
- Purchase email & name: Retained for as long as needed to support license code recovery, and to comply with applicable financial record-keeping obligations.
- Custom messages and app preferences: Stored only on your device; retained until you delete them or uninstall the app. We have no copy of this data.
You may request deletion of your purchase email/name at any time — see Section 8.
Your Rights & Choices
Since we hold so little data about you, most of your rights are already satisfied by design, there is simply nothing on our servers to access, correct, or export beyond your purchase contact details. Where applicable, you may still exercise the following:
Access
Request a copy of the email and name we hold from your purchase.
Correction
Ask us to correct an incorrect email or name on file.
Deletion
Request deletion of your purchase email/name, once your license code is no longer needed.
Restore Anytime
Use Restore Purchases or your license code to re-unlock on any device, no account needed.
To exercise any of these rights, email us at hello@echozat.com with the subject line "ShowNotSay Privacy Request". We will respond within 30 days.
Data Security
- Purchases and entitlement checks are handled through RevenueCat and the App Store/Play Store, both of which use industry-standard encryption in transit.
- We never store payment card numbers, on our systems or otherwise.
- Custom messages and app preferences stored on your device are protected by your device's own operating system security.
No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we rely on reputable, security-conscious partners (Apple, Google, RevenueCat) for the purchase flow, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children's Privacy
ShowNotSay is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information through the purchase flow, please contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.
Your continued use of the app after a revised policy is posted constitutes acceptance of the changes.
