Privacy Policy for Bitcoin Halving

Privacy Policy for Bitcoin HalvingLast Updated: June 22, 2026Overview
Bitcoin Halving ("we," "our," or "the App") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle data in connection with your use of our iOS and Apple TV application.
No Personal Data Collection
We do not collect, store, transmit, or share any personal information from users of the App. The App does not require user accounts, registrations, or any form of personal identification.
Data Sources
The App displays publicly available financial data obtained from:
Cryptocurrency Price Data
- Coinbase API (https://api.coinbase.com) - Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrency spot prices
- CoinGecko API (https://api.coingecko.com) - Historical price data, all-time high information, and additional cryptocurrency market data
- Kraken API (https://api.kraken.com) - Backup cryptocurrency price data
- Binance API (https://api.binance.com) - Additional backup cryptocurrency price source
- CoinCap API (https://api.coincap.io) - Supplementary cryptocurrency market data
Blockchain Data
- Blockstream API (https://blockstream.info/api) - Bitcoin blockchain information including current block height, halving calculations, and network statistics
Traditional Financial Data
- Gold and Silver prices - Obtained from publicly available financial data APIs
Government Data
- US National Debt - Official data from the U.S. Department of the Treasury's TreasuryDirect website (https://www.treasurydirect.gov)
All data sources listed above are public APIs that do not require authentication or user identification. The App requests this information anonymously on your behalf.Data Storage
Local Storage Only
The App stores the following data locally on your device only:
- Your widget preferences and settings
- Cryptocurrency display toggles (which coins you choose to show/hide)
- Cached price data for widget display
- User interface preferences (such as confetti on/off)
- Midnight price reference for daily change calculations
This locally stored data:
- Never leaves your device
- Is not transmitted to our servers or any third party
- Is stored in your device's local storage and shared App Group container (for widget functionality)
- Can be deleted at any time by uninstalling the App
No Cloud Storage of Personal Data
We do not store your preferences or any personal data on cloud storage or remote servers. The only server your device ever contacts is the optional Live Activity update server described in the next section.
Live Activities and Push Notifications
Live Activities (optional, for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Monero) show a live price on your Lock Screen and keep updating even when the App is closed. To make that work, they are delivered through Apple's push system and a small update server we run, using an anonymous token from Apple so the price can reach your device. That token carries no personal information and cannot identify you, and nothing is sent at all unless you turn a Live Activity on.
Purchases and Subscriptions
The App offers an optional one-time purchase (Picture in Picture) and an optional monthly subscription (Live Activity access). All purchases are processed entirely by Apple through the App Store. We never see or receive your payment information, card details, or Apple Account. Apple handles billing, renewals, and cancellations. You can manage or cancel a subscription at any time in the Settings app, under your Apple Account, in Subscriptions.
Network Activity
The App makes network requests solely to:
- Fetch current cryptocurrency prices from the public APIs listed above
- Retrieve Bitcoin blockchain data
- Obtain US national debt information
- Get gold and silver price data
- Deliver Live Activity price updates (only if you start a Live Activity), as described above
Except for the anonymous Live Activity push token, these requests:
- Are made directly from your device to the public API providers
- Do not include any personal identifiers
- Do not track your identity or device
- Are necessary for the App's core functionality
Widgets
The App includes home screen widgets and Lock Screen widgets. These features:
- Display data stored locally on your device
- Access shared data through iOS App Groups (a standard Apple framework)
- Do not transmit any data off your device
- Update based on system-determined intervals set by iOS
Apple Watch
The Apple Watch companion app:
- Operates independently on your Apple Watch
- Fetches data using the same public APIs
- Does not sync personal data between devices
- Stores preferences locally on the Watch
Third-Party Services
While we use third-party APIs to obtain financial data, we do not:
- Share your personal information with these services (as we don't collect any)
- Use analytics services
- Implement advertising networks
- Include tracking pixels or beacons
- Use third-party authentication services
Children's Privacy
