friendcrumbs is built privacy-first. The short version: we do not collect, see, store, sell, or share your data. There is no friendcrumbs server, no account to create, and no analytics or tracking.
Everything you put into friendcrumbs — the people you add, their notes, photos, reminders, and connections — is stored on your device and synced through your own private iCloud account (Apple's CloudKit private database). That data is end-to-end encrypted by Apple and is accessible only to you. The developer has no ability to access it.
The optional AI capture feature uses Apple's on-device Foundation Models. Text you write is analyzed on your device to suggest structured fields. It is not sent to the developer or to any third party.
If you choose to import a contact, friendcrumbs reads the details only to pre-fill a person's card on your device. Contact data is never transmitted to us. You can decline Contacts access and use the app fully.
Photos you add to a person are stored on your device and in your private iCloud only. They are never uploaded to us.
Reminders use local notifications scheduled on your device. No push servers are involved.
friendcrumbs Pro is an auto-renewable subscription handled entirely by Apple through the App Store. We never receive your name, card, or payment details — Apple manages billing and provides us only anonymous, aggregate sales information.
None. friendcrumbs contains no analytics SDKs, no advertising, no third-party trackers, and does not use the Advertising Identifier (IDFA). Nothing is used to track you across apps or websites.
friendcrumbs is rated 4+ and collects no personal information from anyone, including children.
You can delete any person, note, or photo in the app at any time. Deleting the app and removing its data from iCloud removes everything. Because we never hold your data, there is nothing for us to delete on our side.
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new date.
