Privacy Policy

Retrograde: Tracking Mercury is published by Dialect. This policy explains what information the app handles and how it is used.

No account or tracking

Retrograde does not require an account, does not use a backend service, and does not collect, sell, or share personal data. The app does not use third-party advertising or tracking SDKs.

Notifications

If you enable notifications, Retrograde schedules local notifications on your device for Mercury retrograde reminders. Notification preferences remain on your device.

Calendar access

If you choose to add a retrograde window to Calendar, Retrograde requests write-only calendar access. This permission allows the app to create a new calendar event. Retrograde does not read, modify, upload, or analyze your existing calendar events.

Data source

Retrograde includes an offline Mercury retrograde event table generated from NASA/JPL Horizons astronomical data. The app does not need network access to calculate or display retrograde status.

Children's privacy

Retrograde is not directed to children under 13 and does not knowingly collect information from children.

Changes

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
