Privacy Policy
The short version: our current apps store what you create on your device, and where an app offers sync, it runs through your own iCloud account. We don't collect personal information, run accounts, or include analytics or advertising code today. If that changes, we'll update this policy and say what changed before the change takes effect.
This policy explains how Catawumpus LLC ("we," "us") handles information in connection with our apps and this website. It describes our current practices, and Section 3 describes how we would handle categories of data we don't use today but may adopt as our products develop.
1. Information our apps collect today
Our currently published apps do not collect, transmit, or store personal information on systems we operate. What you enter is written to a database stored locally on your device by iOS, and is not sent anywhere by code we wrote.
As of the date above, our apps include:
- No user accounts, sign-in, or registration.
- No analytics, telemetry, or crash-reporting SDKs.
- No advertising, ad identifiers, or third-party trackers.
- No requests to servers we operate.
We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it with third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising.
2. Data stored on your device and in iCloud
Content you create is held in local storage on your device. Where one of our apps offers syncing across your devices, it uses your own iCloud account — Apple's CloudKit private database, tied to your Apple Account rather than to any account with us. Content stored there is encrypted in transit and at rest by Apple and is governed by Apple's privacy policy and your iCloud settings.
If you have iCloud Backup or encrypted local backups enabled, iOS may include an app's local database in those backups. That is controlled by your device settings, not by our apps.
If you use an iOS system feature such as keyboard dictation, that feature is provided by Apple rather than by our apps, and Apple's terms govern it.
3. Practices we may adopt
We expect our products to change over time, and some of them may use data in ways the current ones do not. This section describes how we would handle those categories if and when we introduce them. Nothing here means we do these things today — Section 1 describes what we actually do now.
- Accounts. If we offer accounts, we would collect the minimum needed to operate one, such as an email address, and use it to authenticate you and communicate about the service.
- Analytics. If we use analytics or crash reporting, we would use it to understand aggregate usage and fix defects, and would prefer aggregated or de-identified measurement where a product allows it.
- Advertising. If we introduce advertising or work with advertising partners, we would disclose it here and in the App Store privacy details, and would honor applicable opt-out and tracking-permission requirements, including Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt where it applies.
- Payments and subscriptions. Purchases made through the App Store are processed by Apple; we do not receive your payment card details. If we ever process payments outside the App Store, it would be through an established payment processor.
- Service providers. If we use third parties for hosting, email, error reporting, or similar functions, they would be bound to handle information only on our instructions and for the purposes we specify.
- Legal requests. We may disclose information where required by law, or to protect our rights, users, or the safety of others.
Whenever we introduce one of these, we will update this policy before the change takes effect, revise the date at the top, and describe what changed. Apple also requires our App Store privacy details to reflect an app's actual data practices, so the App Store listing is a second place you can check what a given app does.
4. Children
Our apps are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
5. Deleting your data
Deleting an app from your device deletes its local database and the content in it. A device backup made before deletion may still contain that data until the backup is removed or replaced, and content synced to iCloud is removed according to your iCloud settings. If we later hold data on our own systems, you will be able to request its deletion by emailing us.
6. This website
This site is static — plain pages with no forms, no logins, and no analytics or cookies of our own. It is served by Cloudflare, which processes standard technical request data such as IP address to deliver pages and protect against abuse, as described in Cloudflare's privacy policy.
7. Your rights
Depending on where you live, privacy laws including the GDPR and the California Consumer Privacy Act give you rights to access, correct, delete, and port your personal information, to know whether it has been sold or shared, and to be free from discrimination for exercising those rights. We honor these rights. Because we do not currently hold personal information about you, most requests will resolve with us confirming that we have nothing on file. To make a request, email us at the address below.
8. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as our products and practices change. When we do, we will revise the effective date at the top and describe the change. Material changes to how we handle personal information will be posted before they take effect. Continuing to use our apps after an update means you accept the revised policy.
