Privacy policy
XRP Alerts is built to know as little about you as it can. This page explains what it does keep, where, and why.
Last updated: 15 October 2026
Who we are
XRP Alerts is made by Law Industries Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales (company number 14374177), which is the data controller for the app. This policy covers the XRP Alerts app for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch, its widgets and Live Activity, and this website. If you have a question, email dannylawapps@gmail.com.
In short
- There's no account to create, and we never ask for your name or email address.
- The XRP purchases you record, your alerts and your saved stories stay on your devices and in your own iCloud account, which we can't see.
- There are no ads, we don't track you across other apps or websites, and we never sell data.
- The app uses a small number of services to fetch prices, report crashes, send notifications and handle subscriptions. Each is listed below with what it receives.
- You can turn off usage and performance data at any time in the app's Settings, under Privacy.
- You can delete everything you've stored at any time in the app's Settings, under Your data.
What stays on your device and in your iCloud
The purchase records you add, your price and portfolio alerts and their history, the stories you save or like, a wallet address you choose to watch, and your settings are stored on your device. If iCloud is on, they sync between your devices through your private iCloud database using Apple's CloudKit. Only you can read that database; the developer has no access to it. Apple's privacy policy covers iCloud.
Your price alerts are checked on your device. We never receive your targets, your holdings or their value. Your iPhone shares your settings and holdings with your Apple Watch directly, using Apple's WatchConnectivity, never through our servers. Siri, Shortcuts and Spotlight are handled by Apple and never reach us.
What the app sends, and to whom
| Service | What it receives | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Our price server (Google Cloud, in Belgium), which fetches from our market data provider | Requests for prices, charts and news, with the currency and price source you've chosen, and your IP address. | To provide market data. Your IP address is used to limit how often one device can call the server. Google Cloud keeps standard request logs, which include it, for up to 30 days for security and troubleshooting. Our market data provider receives our server's requests, not yours. |
| Our market data provider's image servers | Your IP address, when a story's picture loads. | To show the pictures in News, which load directly rather than through our server. |
| A public XRP Ledger server (xrplcluster.com) | The XRP Ledger address you choose to watch, if any. | To read that address's balance. Addresses and balances on the XRP Ledger are public. The app only reads; it never asks for keys. |
| Ripple's data service (data.ripple.com) | A request for XRP's supply, with your IP address. | To work out XRP's market capitalisation. |
| Google Analytics for Firebase | Which screens you open and what you choose on them (such as a chart range, your currency and price source, or a Pro plan), whether you have Pro, sessions, the app and iOS version, device model, approximate country, and an app instance identifier: a random number created when the app is installed. Never an amount, a price, an alert's target, a wallet address or anything you type. No advertising identifier or other device identifier is collected. | To understand, in aggregate, how the app is used, and which features and versions to work on. Google keeps it for 14 months. |
| Firebase Crashlytics | Crash reports: what the app was doing, device model, iOS and app version, and a Crashlytics installation identifier. | To find and fix crashes. Google keeps crash reports for 90 days. |
| Firebase Performance Monitoring | How long the app takes to start, how smoothly its screens draw, and the timing and size of its network requests. | To keep the app fast. |
| Firebase Cloud Messaging and Remote Config | A push token for your device and the topics it's subscribed to (all users, whether you have Pro, and news), and a Firebase installation identifier. | To send announcements and news notifications, and to adjust the app's settings without an update. You can turn notifications off in iOS Settings, and news notifications in the app. |
| RevenueCat | A random, anonymous identifier, your App Store purchase history for XRP Alerts (products, prices and dates), your device and app version, and any answers you give in the app's subscription help screens, such as why you're cancelling. | To manage XRP Alerts Pro and tips, and restore them on your other devices. RevenueCat keeps your purchase history for as long as the app uses it, so your purchases can always be restored. |
| Apple | Payments, push notifications and Live Activity updates, through your Apple Account and Apple's services. | To process purchases and deliver notifications. The Live Activity price arrives by a broadcast every subscribed device receives alike, so we don't hold a token for your device. |
| News publishers | Your IP address, when you choose to continue reading a story. | The rest of a story opens on the publisher's own site, which their own privacy policy covers. |
Google's and RevenueCat's privacy policies explain how they handle data: Firebase and RevenueCat. They and our market data provider may process data outside the United Kingdom, under the safeguards that UK data protection law requires.
Usage data, and turning it off
Analytics and Performance Monitoring are on unless you turn them off. To stop both, open Settings in the app and turn off Share usage data, under Privacy. Turning it off also clears the usage data waiting on your device, and anything already sent is deleted when the periods above run out. Crash reports stay on: they contain nothing you've entered, such as your holdings, prices or alerts, and they're how problems get found and fixed. To object to them, email dannylawapps@gmail.com.
Why we're allowed to use it
- Prices, news, the watched address, XRP Alerts Pro and restoring it: because you've asked for them, and the app can't provide them otherwise.
- Notifications: the permission you gave in iOS, which you can withdraw in iOS Settings at any time.
- Usage data, performance and crash reports, and the price server's logs and request limits: our legitimate interest in keeping the app working, secure and fast, and in deciding what to improve. They never include your holdings, prices or alerts, and you can turn usage and performance data off.
- Replying to your email: our legitimate interest in answering you.
When you email us
If you send feedback from the app, the email it prepares includes your device model, iOS version and app version, so a problem can be looked into. Whatever you send is used only to reply to you, and you can edit it before it's sent. Emails are kept only as long as it takes to help you, then deleted.
This website
This site sets no cookies and runs no analytics. Its fonts and images are served from the site itself. Firebase Hosting, which serves it, keeps standard request logs for security.
Links to other sites
The app and this site link to other sites, such as an XRP Ledger explorer, X and the App Store. What happens there is covered by those sites' own privacy policies.
Earlier versions
Version 3 of XRP Alerts and earlier showed ads through Google AdMob. Version 4 has no ads and no advertising SDK.
Children
XRP Alerts is not directed at children, and we don't knowingly collect data from anyone under 13.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law you can ask for a copy of the data we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, or object to how it's used. Because the app has no accounts, most of your data never reaches us, and you can delete it yourself: open Settings in the app and go to Your data to delete your purchases, watched address, alerts, alert history or saved stories, or all of them at once. That removes them from every device signed in to your iCloud account. Deleting the app removes the rest, such as your settings, from that device. To object to usage data, turn off Share usage data in the app's Settings. For anything else, email dannylawapps@gmail.com. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
Changes to this policy
If the app starts handling data differently, this page will be updated before the version that does so is released, and the date at the top will change.
