Introduction

Thank you for using our Aphorisms app for iPhone and Apple Watch. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our application.

Information We Collect

Data Stored Using SwiftData and CloudKit

Our app uses Apple's SwiftData framework for local data storage, which is synchronized between your iPhone and Apple Watch using CloudKit. This means:

The aphorisms (including any you create yourself) are stored locally on your devices
When iCloud is enabled, your phrases automatically synchronize between your iPhone and Apple Watch
We do not have direct access to this data as it is stored in your personal iCloud account
No login or account creation is required to use our app

Data Categories

The only data our app stores includes:

Pre-loaded aphorisms that come with the app
Custom phrases you've added yourself
Watch face and widget configuration settings

Technical Information

We collect no personal information. The only technical data collected is:

Crash reports if you've opted in to Apple's standard diagnostic reporting

How We Use Your Information

We use the stored phrases solely to:

Display your selected aphorisms on your iPhone and Apple Watch
Synchronize your custom phrases between your devices through iCloud
No data is collected for analytics, advertising, or tracking purposes

Data Security

Your phrases are protected through:

Apple's standard CloudKit encryption during transmission
Your personal iCloud account security measures
Local device encryption

We do not maintain any separate databases or servers - all data is handled exclusively through Apple's systems.

Data Sharing

We do not collect, sell, rent, or share your information with anyone. Your custom phrases remain private to you and are only stored in your personal iCloud account.
