Privacy Policy for Idea
Privacy Policy for Idea
Effective Date: February 19, 2026
Last Updated: February 19, 2026
Privacy First
Your ideas stay on your device. idea is built with a simple principle: your personal ideas are yours. We don't collect, share, or sell your data.
1. The Short Version
idea does not collect any personal data. All your ideas are stored locally on your device using Apple's SwiftData framework. We have no servers. We see nothing.
2. Information We Collect
idea does NOT collect, transmit, or store any personal information on external servers. All data you create within the app — including your ideas, schedules, and preferences — is stored exclusively on your device.
We do not have access to:
- Your ideas or any text you type into the app.
- Your name, email address, or any identifying information.
- Your location.
- Your usage patterns or analytics.
3. Calendar Access
If you grant idea permission to access your calendar, the app uses this solely to create calendar events for your ideas on your behalf. This permission is optional.
- Calendar events are created directly on your device's calendar via Apple's EventKit framework.
- No calendar data is transmitted to any external server.
- You can revoke calendar access at any time in Settings > Privacy & Security > Calendars.
4. Notifications
If you grant idea permission to send notifications, they are scheduled entirely on-device using Apple's UserNotifications framework. idea uses only local notifications — no push notification infrastructure or servers are involved.
- Notifications are triggered locally on your device at the time you scheduled.
- No data is sent to any server to deliver notifications.
- You can revoke notification access at any time in Settings > Notifications > idea.
5. AI Scheduling Features
idea's idea analysis and scheduling suggestions are powered entirely on-device using Apple's Natural Language framework. No idea text is ever sent to an external AI or server.
- All AI analysis runs locally on your device.
- Your idea content never leaves your device for AI processing.
- On supported devices, Apple Intelligence may be used for enhanced suggestions — this is governed by Apple's own privacy policies.
6. Third-Party Services
idea does not integrate with any third-party analytics, advertising, or data collection services. We do not use services such as Google Analytics, Firebase Analytics, Mixpanel, or any equivalent tracking tools.
The only external services involved are Apple's own frameworks (SwiftData, EventKit, UserNotifications, NaturalLanguage), which are governed by Apple's Privacy Policy.
7. Children's Privacy
idea does not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of 13. Since we do not collect any personal data from anyone, this is upheld by default.
8. Data Retention & Deletion
All your data lives on your device. To delete all your data, simply delete the idea app from your device. This will permanently remove all stored ideas, preferences, and schedules. You can also delete individual ideas from within the app at any time.
9. Changes to This Policy
If we make any changes to this Privacy Policy, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the app after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
