In addition to it not being a subscription, I also love this bit from the App Store's Privacy section:

   Data Not Collected
   The developer does not collect any data from this app.
After I post this, I'm off to buy the desktop and iPad versions.

I tried to buy a certain type of simple app a couple of weeks ago, and while there were dozens of options available, not one didn't Hoover up everything it could about me.

Really? You need to know my name, location, and track me across apps for a card game? No sale.

Edit: Purchased. Thanks, Affinity. Go stick your head in a pig, Adobe.

Just so you know, that's not true. After all, they need to collect your email to login for the perpetual license. At the very least, this needs a "Data Linked To You - Contact Info" card.

Generally speaking, 'App Privacy' cards are lies. Apple does not check them, you need to do it yourself. Here is the Privacy Policy: https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/privacy/

In the EULA (quoted from Affinity Photo 2 for MacOS), you further agree to, among other terms:

> *Consent to Use of Data* > > a. 16. You agree that Serif and its affiliates may use any information you give to use as part of product support and other services provided to you, if any, related to Serif Software solely to improve products or to provide customised services or technologies to you and will not disclose this information in a form that personally identifies you.

The Universal Licence gets you all three apps on all platforms now. Incredible deal.
