Automatically Collected Information

The App does not automatically collect any personal information. We do not use analytics services, crash reporting tools, or any third-party SDKs that would collect data about you or your device.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information you provide solely for the following purposes:

Core Functionality: To record and display feeding logs, statistics, and history
Personalization: To customize the App experience based on your role and preferences
Data Synchronization: To sync your data across your devices via iCloud (if enabled)

We do NOT use your data for:

Advertising or marketing
Profiling or behavioral analysis
Sale to third parties
Any purpose other than providing the App’s core functionality

Data Storage and Security

Local Storage

All your data is stored locally on your device using Apple’s SwiftData framework. The data remains on your device unless you choose to enable iCloud synchronization.

iCloud Synchronization

If you enable iCloud sync, your data will be stored in your personal iCloud account using Apple’s CloudKit service. This allows you to access your data across multiple devices signed into the same Apple ID.

Apple manages iCloud security and encryption
We do not have access to your iCloud data
You can disable iCloud sync at any time in your device settings
For Apple’s privacy practices, see: Apple Privacy Policy

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical measures to protect your personal information:

Data is stored using Apple’s secure frameworks
No data is transmitted to our servers
We do not maintain databases of user information

Third-Party Services

Apple Services

The App integrates with the following Apple services:

StoreKit: For processing subscription purchases. Apple handles all payment information directly—we never see your payment details
CloudKit/iCloud: For optional data synchronization across your devices
ActivityKit: For Live Activities on your lock screen (iOS feature)

We do not share your data with any other third-party services, advertisers, or analytics providers.

Children’s Privacy

Our Users

This App is designed for use by parents, guardians, and caregivers of infants. The App is NOT intended for use by children under 13 years of age.

Data About Children

While the App collects information about infants (name, birthday, feeding data), this data is:

Provided by parents/guardians, not by children themselves
Used solely for feeding tracking purposes
Stored locally or in the parent’s/guardian’s personal iCloud account
Never shared with third parties
Never used for advertising or profiling

We comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us immediately.

Data Retention

Local Data: Retained on your device until you delete the App or clear data in settings
iCloud Data: Retained in your iCloud account until you delete it or disable iCloud sync
Purchase Records: Managed by Apple through your App Store account

We do not retain any data on our servers as we do not operate servers that store user data.

International Data Transfers

If you use iCloud sync, your data may be transferred to and stored on servers located outside your country of residence, as determined by Apple’s iCloud infrastructure. Apple provides appropriate safeguards for international data transfers in compliance with GDPR and other applicable laws.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by:

Posting the new Privacy Policy in the App
Updating the “Last Updated” date at the top of this policy

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes are effective when posted.
