Privacy Policy

Last Updated: May 31, 2026

TL;DR: We have zero access to your data.

SafeSpot is designed to be 100% local. We do not have servers, we do not require accounts, and we do not collect telemetry, analytics, or crash reports. Your data stays on your device.

1. Data Storage

All data you enter into SafeSpot (including item names, locations, private notes, and photos) is stored exclusively on your local device (iPhone). We do not use cloud synchronization, and we do not have a backend server.

If you delete the app, all your SafeSpot data is permanently deleted from your device. We cannot recover it for you.

2. Data Collection and Tracking

SafeSpot does not collect any personal data.

  • No analytics SDKs (e.g., Google Analytics, Mixpanel, Firebase).
  • No crash reporting SDKs (e.g., Crashlytics, Sentry).
  • No advertising or third-party tracking networks.

Apple may collect anonymized crash reports or usage metrics if you have explicitly opted into sharing this data with App Developers in your overall iOS settings, but this is handled entirely by Apple's OS, not our app code.

3. Local Authentication (Face ID / Touch ID)

SafeSpot offers a feature to lock the app using Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode. This utilizes Apple's LocalAuthentication framework. The biometric authentication happens entirely on your device's Secure Enclave. The app only receives a "success" or "failure" signal; it never has access to your actual biometric data.

4. Photos and Camera Access

If you choose to attach photos to your items, SafeSpot uses the native iOS PhotosUI picker. We only have access to the specific photos you select. These photos are copied to the app's local sandbox storage and never uploaded anywhere.

5. Notifications

SafeSpot uses local notifications to remind you to check your items. These notifications are scheduled and triggered entirely locally on your device. We do not use Apple Push Notification service (APNs), and no remote server is involved in sending these reminders.

6. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Since we cannot email you (we don't have your email address), any updates will be reflected on this page and noted in the App Store release notes.
