Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 15, 2026

alphapulsx is an independent app studio based in British Columbia, Canada. This policy covers our apps: Story Time: Bedtime Stories, Meter, Paperboi, and IDE Pilots. Questions about any of it: [email protected].

The short version: We don't sell data. We don't run ads in any app. We don't use third-party advertising or cross-app tracking. Two of our apps keep everything on your device. Where an app does send anything anywhere, it's described per app below — nothing more.

Story Time: Bedtime Stories (children's stories)

Story Time is a story app for young children, and it is built to collect nothing.

• No accounts, no sign-up, no advertising, and no third-party analytics. There is nothing to log into and nothing watching how your family uses the app.
• Stories live in the app and are told on your device. The stories are complete, written stories included with the app. Choosing a telling (day or night), an age version, and weaving in your child's name all happen on the device itself.
• Your child's name and your story choices never leave the device. The name you type in, the themes and settings you pick, and which stories you've heard are stored only on the device (in the app's local storage) so the app can work. They are never transmitted to us or anyone else.
• Usage counters stay on the device too. The app keeps simple counters on the device only (for example, how many stories were finished) to make its own features work. They are never sent anywhere — the app contains no mechanism to send them.
• It works offline. After the app's content loads once, it is stored on the device so stories work with no internet connection.
• Read-aloud uses your device's own voice. The Read Aloud feature uses the text-to-speech built into your device or browser; no recording of your voice or your child's voice is made or sent anywhere.
• Purchases. Optional story packs are sold through Apple's in-app purchase system; purchases are processed by Apple and RevenueCat, and no personal data is collected by Story Time itself. We never see or store your payment details.
• License keys (website purchases only). If you bought a story pack on our website and type in a license key, the app sends that key to Gumroad's verification service once to check it, and Gumroad replies valid or invalid. Nothing else is sent, and this only happens when you enter a key.
• Children's privacy. The app does not collect personal information from children — no names (beyond what stays on your device, above), no photos, no recordings, no location, no contacts.

Meter (training dashboard)

• Nothing is uploaded. Your activity, health, and location data stay on your device — that is the product's core promise. We operate no server that receives your training data.
• If you connect Garmin, your sign-in is used from your device to talk to Garmin's services; your access tokens are stored on your device only.
• Anonymous usage counters are stored on your device only and are not transmitted.

Paperboi (trading game + Paperboi Academy)

• No account, no sign-up, no name or email collected. Play lives in your browser / on your device.
• We record anonymous gameplay and funnel events (for example, a round completed, course progress, a paywall viewed) to understand whether the game is working. These events carry no name, no email, and no advertising identifier, and are not linked to you.
• Purchases, when offered in the iOS app, are processed by Apple and RevenueCat; we never see or store your payment details. (RevenueCat receives an anonymous app-user ID to validate purchases.)

IDE Pilots (idea tools)

• Accounts are provided by Clerk (email sign-in). We store the ideas and content you create so the app can show them back to you.
• We record product-usage events (for example, screens viewed and features used) tied to your account, to improve the app. No advertising trackers.
• Purchases and subscriptions are processed by Apple and RevenueCat; we never see your payment details.
• AI-assisted content is produced from the idea text you submit for that purpose.

Everyone

• Data sharing: We do not sell personal information. Data goes only to the processors named above (Apple, RevenueCat, Clerk for IDE Pilots, Gumroad for license-key checks, Cloudflare for hosting and Paperboi's anonymous events), and only to run the apps.
• Retention & deletion: On-device data is deleted when you delete the app. IDE Pilots account data can be deleted on request to [email protected]. Anonymous Paperboi events are retained in aggregate form.
• Children: Story Time collects no personal information from children (or anyone). IDE Pilots, Paperboi, and Meter are not directed at children under 13.
• Changes: Material changes will be posted on this page with a new date.
