Effective date: September 24, 2026
In short
Wax Lab stores recipes, journal entries, selected photos and settings on your device. The app has no account, advertising, third-party analytics or developer-operated server. It does not send your candle journal or photos to Artur Popov.
Apple handles Wax Lab Pro purchases. Artur processes personal data only if you voluntarily email support.
Who is responsible
Artur Popov, an individual developer based in Spain, is the controller for support correspondence he receives about Wax Lab.
For privacy questions or a request about support correspondence, email pixelsnakeinfo@gmail.com.
Data stored on your device
Wax Lab stores the following information locally:
- selected wax type, calculator settings, recipe progress and app settings;
- journal entries, including the name, scent, parameters and notes you enter;
- photos you select for a journal entry;
- the status of onboarding screens and a local cache of Wax Lab Pro access.
The app uses the iOS PhotosPicker only when you choose a photo. The selected photo is copied to the app’s private container, not added to your photo library by Wax Lab. The app can schedule local notifications for recipe or curing reminders. These notifications are created on your device; Wax Lab does not receive information about whether you open them.
Deleting the app removes its local data from the device. Device backups, if enabled, are managed by Apple and your device settings.
Purchases and data Wax Lab does not collect
Wax Lab Pro is a one-time in-app purchase through Apple’s App Store and StoreKit. Apple processes payment and Apple Account information under Apple’s Privacy Policy. Wax Lab uses StoreKit on the device to check access to Pro. Artur does not receive your card number, billing address or full Apple Account information.
Wax Lab does not use advertising identifiers, ads, Firebase, Amplitude, Mixpanel or other third-party analytics SDKs. It does not collect or sell your usage data, candle recipes, journal entries or photos.
Support emails
If you email Artur about Wax Lab, he receives the sender’s address, message, attachments and any information you choose to include. He uses it to answer, troubleshoot, consider feedback and improve the app. The legal basis is a legitimate interest in providing support, or Article 6(1)(b) GDPR where the message concerns a purchase or possible contract.
Do not send passwords, payment-card details, health information or other sensitive data. Your email provider and Google, which provides Artur’s Gmail inbox, may process a support message under their own terms and may process data outside the European Economic Area using safeguards set out in their privacy terms.
Retention, sharing and rights
Support correspondence is kept for up to 12 months after the last reply, unless a longer period is necessary for a legal obligation, dispute or legal claim. It is then deleted or anonymised.
Artur does not sell or rent personal data. Data may be processed by Apple for App Store and StoreKit functions, by the email providers involved in a support message, by Google for the support inbox, or by authorities where disclosure is legally required.
Depending on applicable law, you may ask to access, correct, delete or restrict processing of your support correspondence; object to processing based on legitimate interests; or receive a portable copy where the right applies. Email pixelsnakeinfo@gmail.com. You may complain to the Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD) or to the supervisory authority where you live or work.
