Petrilume privacy policy

In effect from 7 November 2026. Petrilume, the 3D microbiology and immunology lab, is made by EqualInformation, LLC.

In short

Petrilume has no account and no server of ours. What you study, your quiz results and your streak stay on your device. The one outside party that processes data is Google, through the advertising that keeps the app free.

Stored only on your device

Specimens you have examined, quiz answers, trainer scores, your streak and the ad-free time you have earned are kept in the app's own storage. We cannot see, back up or restore them. Deleting the app deletes them, and Study, Sources, Reset my progress clears them without deleting the app.

What the app does not use

Petrilume does not request your location, contacts, photos, camera, microphone, health data or any sign-in. It contains no analytics or crash-reporting service of ours.

Advertising

The app is free and shows ads served by Google AdMob. To deliver and measure them Google may process your device's advertising identifier, an approximate location derived from your network address and how you interact with an ad. If iOS asks whether Petrilume may track you and you decline, ads are still shown but are not personalised. Where the law requires it (the EU, the UK and some US states), Google's consent form appears when the app starts and can be reopened from Study, then Sources. Google describes its practices at policies.google.com/technologies/ads.

Paid option

The optional monthly plan that turns ads off is sold and billed by Apple. We never receive payment details, only whether the plan is active. Manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings.

Education only

Petrilume is a study aid. It does not give medical advice, diagnosis, treatment or dosing, and it does not collect health information about you.

Children

Petrilume is not directed to children under 13 and is not in the Kids category.
