RANK Plain English summary: Everything you type into Rank & Retire, including your branch, rank, pay, TSP, and career tracks, stays on your device. We never receive it, store it on a server, or sell it. The only data that leaves your device is device-level data collected by third-party services for advertising in the free version, purchases, and crash and diagnostic reports. Apple, Google AdMob, and RevenueCat handle that data under their own privacy policies. The one-time unlock stops ad-network data collection through our app. Sections 04 and 05 explain exactly what is collected and how to limit it.
Rank & Retire is an iOS application for military career planning and pension and TSP projection, built for active duty service members. The app is built and supported by an individual active duty service member based in the United States. For privacy related questions, contact us at support@ranknretire.com.
The personal and financial information you enter into Rank & Retire stays on your device. We do not collect, transmit, or have access to any of the following:
› Your name, email address, phone number, or any contact information
› Your military branch, rank, years of service, or service history
› Your pay, compensation, TSP contribution, or financial data
› Your retirement system selection or pension projections
› Any career track data you create within the app
This information is stored locally on your device and is never sent to us or to any third party. We have no servers that receive, process, or retain it. The data collected by the third-party services described in Section 04 is separate and never includes any of the information above.
Career tracks, projections, and settings you create are stored locally using standard on-device storage, subject to your operating system's data protection practices. If you delete the app, all locally stored data is deleted with it.
We do not have the ability to access, recover, or restore data stored on your device.
While the app itself does not collect the personal information in Section 02, the third-party services that power advertising in the free version, purchases, and app stability do collect certain data: Google AdMob (advertising), and Apple and RevenueCat (purchases and diagnostics). The categories below match the disclosures on our App Store privacy label.
Data used to track you across apps and websites owned by other companies (free version only):
› Identifiers: Device ID (advertising identifier), via Google AdMob
Data collected but not linked to your identity:
› Diagnostics: crash data, performance data, and other diagnostic data, used to keep the app stable
› Location: coarse (approximate) location, used by Google AdMob for advertising
› Identifiers: Device ID, used by Google AdMob for advertising
› Usage data: product interaction, advertising data, and other usage data, used by Google AdMob for advertising and measurement
› Purchases: purchase history, used to process your in-app purchase and restore it (Apple and RevenueCat)
This data is collected and processed by the third-party services named above under their own privacy policies, not ours. None of it includes the career, pay, or projection data covered in Section 02.
The data in Section 04 is used to display and measure ads, process and restore your purchase, and identify crashes and performance problems so the app stays stable. We do not sell your data.
Limit ad tracking on iOS. Go to Settings, then Privacy & Security, then Tracking, and turn off "Allow Apps to Request to Track." You can also turn off Settings, then Privacy & Security, then Apple Advertising, then Personalized Ads.
Remove ads. Once you buy the one-time unlock (in the app's menu under Unlock Pro), ads are removed and you are no longer subject to ad-network data collection through our app. Standard purchase and diagnostic data may still be collected by Apple and RevenueCat.
Rank & Retire is distributed through the Apple App Store, and your use of that platform is governed by Apple's privacy policy. The one time in app purchase is processed by Apple. We do not receive or store your payment information.
We use RevenueCat to manage and restore your purchase. It is used only to determine whether you have unlocked the paid features and to support "Restore Purchases."
Each provider handles the data it collects under its own policy: Google Privacy Policy (AdMob), RevenueCat Privacy Policy, and Apple Privacy Policy.
Rank & Retire is intended for adults aged 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided information through the app, contact us at support@ranknretire.com.
We may update this Privacy Policy as the app evolves. If we materially change what data is collected or how it is used, we will update this policy and revise the "Last Updated" date above to reflect the most recent revision. Continued use of the app constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
