GlideProse sells auto-renewing subscriptions in two places: in the apps, through the App Store and Google Play, and on glideprose.com. Whoever sells you the plan takes the payment. Your card number, your billing address and every other payment detail stay with them — none of it reaches GlideProse, and there is nothing in the app or on the website that could receive it.
In the apps — the App Store and Google Play. The store takes the payment. Your payment details stay with Apple or Google. To know which plan you are on, GlideProse uses RevenueCat. It is a processor, the same way Supabase and Anthropic are above: it acts on our instructions and it is not an audience.
•
What it receives. The purchase token the store issues, which plan you bought, and an identifier for this installation of the app. It is also given the same user id your account already has, so a subscription follows your account to your next device instead of being stranded on one phone.
•
What it is for. Three things: making the app work, keeping purchases secure and preventing fraud, and managing your account. Nothing else.
On glideprose.com — Stripe and Link. Web subscriptions are sold through Stripe's Managed Payments service, and Link, a Stripe company, is the seller of record. At checkout, Stripe and Link collect your name, email address, billing address and payment method to take the payment, work out and collect any sales tax, VAT or GST, prevent fraud, send your receipts, and help with payment questions. Because Link is the seller, it handles that information under its own privacy policy (link.com/privacy) and Stripe's (stripe.com/privacy), not ours. You can see and manage the subscription through Manage billing on glideprose.com or in your Link account.
From Stripe, GlideProse keeps only what it needs to give you your plan: an id for you as a Stripe customer, the id of your subscription, which plan it is, whether it is active, and when the current period ends. Your invoices and receipts are kept by Stripe, where we can look them up to answer a billing question or issue a refund.
What the account keeps about your plan. For each way you have paid — the App Store or Google Play, glideprose.com, or a plan we have given you — your account keeps one record: the plan, when it ends, and that route's own reference (the store's transaction id, or the Stripe subscription id). Your plan is the best of those records, which is what stops a change on one route from undoing another, and what stops you being charged twice. Every change to these records is also logged: the event's id and type from the store or from Stripe, the plan it asked for, the plan your account ended up on, and when.
What it is used for, and nothing else: giving you the plan you paid for on every device, keeping purchases secure and preventing fraud and double charges, answering billing questions and issuing refunds, and managing your account. It is not used for advertising, analytics, marketing or personalization, and none of it is sold or handed to anyone for their own purposes. A processor is not a third party.
Your plan changes how much the app will do for you. It never changes whose words these are: export is not gated on any plan, at any tier, ever.
