W3Schools privacy policy adds mobile apps and RevenueCat as subscription processor

The policy now explicitly covers mobile apps such as the W3Schools Adventure app, saying the same kinds of data are collected (account, usage, device). In-app purchases go through Apple or Google, and a new sub-processor, RevenueCat (USA), receives user ID, device information, transaction ID and subscription status.

  • Policy scope now extends to mobile app data collection
