JingleMoonPrivacy Policy
Last updated: November 9, 2026
JingleMoon is a Christmas app for families, made by Darius Cirjan. It has no ads, no tracking and no accounts. It does not ask for or use the advertising identifier (IDFA).
What stays on your device
A child's first name (optional), letters, chat conversations, the chosen city, settings, Santa's Workshop gifts you own, the keepsakes and printables made from them, and daily use counts are kept only on the device. Letters are excluded from device backups. Your child's name, letters and chats with Santa are never sent to us or to anyone else. Sending a letter is a pretend delivery: it is saved only on the phone. You can delete letters and the name in Settings, or delete everything by removing the app.
Santa's replies are written in the app, or produced by Apple's on-device model where it is available and the language has been reviewed. Those messages do not leave the device. An optional online chat is not part of this version of the app and sends nothing.
The app does not ask for your location. It chooses a nearby city from the time zone of your device, and you can change it.
Usage statistics (only if a parent allows it)
JingleMoon asks a parent once, after the first setup, whether it may count how the app is used. Only if the parent says yes, and only behind a grown-ups check, the app sends anonymous usage statistics to Google Analytics for Firebase (Google Ireland Limited / Google LLC): which screens are opened, which buttons are tapped, whether a purchase was completed, an app instance identifier, the device type and an approximate region derived from the network address. We never send your child's name, letters or chats with Santa. The data is not linked to your identity, is not used for advertising and is not shared with ad networks. We do not use the advertising identifier and do not track you across apps or websites. Advertising and ad personalization signals are switched off.
Nothing is sent until a parent says yes. Statistics are never collected in test builds. To withdraw consent, open Settings, then "Anonymous usage statistics", and turn it off. Statistics are kept for 2 months.
Remote settings
The app may download small settings from Firebase Remote Config (for example which plan the first screen shows). This uses a random installation identifier and no personal data.
Purchases
Purchases are made through Apple. The app uses RevenueCat, a service provider, to confirm what was bought. RevenueCat receives a random anonymous ID, the purchase history for that ID and basic app and device technical details needed for this. It is not used for advertising or tracking, and it contains no letter or chat text. See RevenueCat's privacy policy and Apple's privacy policy.
Reminders
If a parent turns on Christmas reminders (behind a grown-ups check, and only after iOS asks), the app schedules local notifications on the device: days left until Christmas Eve, the advent door of the day for families that own the advent calendar, and the start of Santa's simulated flight. Nothing is sent to a server. Turn them off in Settings.
Maps and sharing
The close-up view of a city uses Apple Maps, which loads the map of the chosen city from Apple. A certificate or keepsake leaves the device only if a grown-up shares it, after passing the grown-ups check, and only to the place they choose. If you email us, we receive your email and what you write, and use them only to answer.
Children
JingleMoon is made for families to use together. It asks for no personal information from children, has no accounts, no ads and no behavioural advertising. The chat does not ask for names or contact details, and replies to worried messages point to a trusted grown-up. Sharing, usage statistics, reminders, reporting a chat reply and deleting data sit behind a grown-ups check, and every purchase is confirmed in Apple's own payment sheet. We collect data about a child only with a parent's consent, and the optional statistics contain no personal information. JingleMoon does not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you think a child has sent us personal information, write to us and we will delete it.
Retention and your choices
We keep no copies of anything stored on your device. Usage statistics are kept for 2 months. Support emails are kept only as long as needed to help you. You can ask for access to or deletion of data we hold at the address below. To remove purchase records linked to the anonymous ID, write to us with your request.
