Privacy Policy
Last Updated: January 2025
Overview
Recap Review ("the App") is designed with privacy as a core principle. We believe your personal data should remain personal. This privacy policy explains how the App handles your information.
The Short Version: Your data never leaves your device. We don't collect, store, transmit, or have access to any of your personal information. Everything is processed locally on your iPhone.
Data Collection
We do not collect any personal data. Recap Review processes all information entirely on your device. We do not have servers that receive, store, or process your data.
Data Access
To generate your Year in Review, the App requests permission to access certain data sources on your device. This access is used solely to create your personalized recap and all processing happens locally.
| Data Type | Purpose | Storage |
|---|---|---|
| Health Data | Display steps, workouts, sleep, and fitness metrics | On-device only |
| Photos | Count photos, identify types (selfies, screenshots, etc.) | On-device only |
| Calendar | Analyze events and scheduling patterns | On-device only |
| Music Library | Identify listening habits and favorite artists | On-device only |
| Location | Determine places visited (from photo metadata) | On-device only |
Data Storage
All data accessed by the App remains on your device. We do not:
- Upload your data to any server
- Store your data in the cloud
- Share your data with any third parties
- Use your data for advertising purposes
- Create backups of your personal information
Analytics and Tracking
We do not use any analytics services, crash reporting tools, or tracking mechanisms. We have no way to know how you use the App or what your recap contains.
Third-Party Services
Recap Review does not integrate with any third-party services that collect user data. The App operates completely independently without external dependencies.
Sharing Features
The App allows you to export and share your Year in Review summary cards. When you choose to share:
- You control what is shared and with whom
- Sharing uses your device's native share functionality
- We do not track or store shared content
- Shared images are generated locally on your device
Data Deletion
Since we don't collect or store your data, there is nothing to delete from our end. Uninstalling the App removes all locally cached data from your device.
Children's Privacy
The App does not knowingly collect information from children under 13. Since we don't collect any personal data from any users, children's data is equally protected.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date.
Your Rights
Since we don't collect your data, traditional data rights (access, correction, deletion) don't apply. You maintain complete control over your data at all times, as it never leaves your device.
