Privacy policy
Last updated: 19 October 2026
Rome Unfolded (the “app”) and this website are provided by Affinity Labs Ltd (“we”, “us”). This policy explains what information the app and website collect, why, who we share it with, and the choices you have. Questions or requests: contact@romeunfolded.com.
Information we collect
Account details. When you create an account we collect your email address, and your name if you give it or sign in with Apple or Google. Sign-in is handled by our authentication provider, Clerk.
Learning activity. We store your progress, quiz results, XP, streaks, achievements and preferences so you can pick up where you left off on any device.
AI history guide. Where the AI guide is available, the questions you type, any images you choose to send and the replies are processed to answer you and kept so a conversation can continue. Please do not enter sensitive personal information into the chat.
Purchases. Subscriptions are processed by Apple or Google. We receive confirmation of your subscription status through RevenueCat. We never see your card or payment details.
Usage and device data. We collect app interactions, screens viewed, crash reports, device type, operating system, app version, language and an anonymous or pseudonymous identifier. Analytics may include screen recordings of app sessions in which text fields are masked.
Notifications. If you allow notifications we store a push token so we can send daily story and streak reminders. You can turn them off in your device settings.
Advertising and attribution. With your permission where your device asks for it (Apple’s App Tracking Transparency), we measure which ads led to an install or purchase using AppsFlyer and Meta. If you decline tracking, we do not use your device’s advertising identifier for this.
This website. We use a first-party cookie and page-visit records (pages viewed, referring link and device type) to understand how people find and use romeunfolded.com. If you email us we keep the message and your address so we can reply. No card or payment information is collected on this website.
