Privacy Policy | KidDays

Who We Are

KidDays is published by an independent Apple platforms developer (referred to in this policy as "we", "our", or "us"). You can reach us by email at [email protected].

This Privacy Policy describes how the KidDays application for iPhone and iPad, together with its widgets (the "App"), handles information.

Short version: we do not collect personal data about you, your child or the other parent. Everything you enter stays on your device. The App makes no network requests of its own, does not sync to any cloud service, has no accounts, and contains no analytics or advertising.

Information We Collect

We do not collect, store on our servers, sell, or share personal information from the App. In particular, we do not collect:

your name, your child's name, or the other parent's name;
your parenting schedule, calendar changes, or exchange times;
journal entries, amendments, photos, or screenshots;
expenses, amounts, or receipts;
your location;
analytics or usage statistics;
crash reports;
cookies, advertising identifiers, or tracking data;
account or registration data, because the App has no accounts.

Because we do not collect personal data through the App, we do not maintain a user database.

What You Enter and Where It Is Stored

The App keeps a single record in its own container on your device, protected with iOS file protection. It contains:

Family details. Your child's name, the other parent's name, your name if you add it, the schedule pattern, start date, exchange time, your default expense share and currency.
Calendar. Nights changed from the plan, holidays, and whether each change was agreed.
Journal. Entries such as late arrivals, no-shows, refused or agreed changes, missed calls and notes, with their date, details, an optional photo or screenshot, and any amendments.
Expenses. Title, amount, date, category, who paid, the split, whether it is settled, and an optional receipt photo.
Preferences. App and report language, whether names are hidden in widgets, and whether the lock is on.

None of this is sent to us or to anyone else. The App does not contact the other parent and does not share your record unless you export it yourself.

Photos

You can attach a photo or screenshot to a journal entry or a receipt to an expense using Apple's system photo picker. The picker gives the App only the images you select and does not grant access to your photo library. Attached images are stored inside your record on your device and are included in your backups and in reports if you choose.

Face ID, Touch ID and Passcode Lock

If you turn on the lock, the App asks iOS to confirm it's you with Face ID, Touch ID or your device passcode. This check happens entirely in iOS; the App never receives or stores your face, fingerprint or passcode, only whether the check succeeded. While locked, and whenever the App is in the background, its content is covered so it does not appear in the app switcher.

Widgets

To show whose night it is and the next exchange, the App writes a small summary to a shared container on your device that only the App and its widgets can read. It may include your child's name and the other parent's name. You can hide names from widgets in Settings. Widgets on the Lock Screen can be seen by anyone who looks at your device.

Reports and Backups

PDF reports (Pro). Reports are created on your device for the period and sections you choose, and can include names, the calendar, journal entries with photos, and expenses with receipts. They are handed to the system share sheet, and where they go next is chosen by you.
Backups. "Save Backup to Files" creates a file with your whole record, including attached photos and receipts, and lets you save it where you choose. Restoring a backup reads only the file you pick and replaces the record on this device.

Reports and backups contain sensitive family information. Store and share them only with people and services you trust. Because the App has no cloud sync, a backup is the only way to move your record to a new device.

Network Requests

The App does not make network requests of its own and works fully offline. Network traffic is handled only by Apple for App Store purchases through StoreKit. Links to Apple's terms and subscription management open only when you tap them.

Third Parties

Apple (App Store, StoreKit and system services)

Pro subscriptions are sold and managed by Apple through the App Store. Apple is the merchant of record. We do not see your payment details, Apple Account, billing address, or full name. The App receives from Apple only a confirmation of whether a subscription is active. Apple's own privacy policy applies to App Store purchases, subscription management, Face ID and Touch ID, the photo picker, widgets, the share sheet, Files, and other system services. If you keep your device backed up to iCloud, Apple may include the App's data in that device backup under your iCloud settings.

No analytics or advertising SDKs

The App does not include any third-party code. There are no analytics, crash reporting, advertising, attribution, or tracking SDKs.

Purchases and Pro

The calendar, journal, expenses, widgets, the lock, backups and all interface languages are free.
Pro unlocks PDF reports and expense statements.
Pro is offered as a monthly or yearly auto-renewable subscription.
Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Payment is charged to your Apple Account.
You can restore purchases in the App and manage or cancel subscriptions through your Apple Account settings.
We do not store, see, or process your payment information.

Children

KidDays is a tool for parents and is not directed at children. A parent enters information about their child, such as a name and parenting schedule; that information stays on the parent's device and is never collected by us. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children.

Not Legal Advice

KidDays helps you keep your own record. It is not a legal service, does not verify what you enter, and does not replace advice from a lawyer, mediator or court.

Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have privacy rights under laws such as the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), and similar laws. Because we do not collect or hold personal data from the App, we have no personal data to provide, correct, delete, or transfer in response to such a request. You still control the App's data:

edit family details, calendar changes and expenses inside the App, and add amendments to journal entries;
export a full backup to Files at any time;
hide names from widgets in Settings;
delete all App data by uninstalling the App;
cancel subscriptions through Settings > Apple Account > Subscriptions;
contact us with privacy questions at [email protected].

California residents: we do not "sell" or "share" personal information as those terms are defined under the CCPA/CPRA.

Security

The App relies on security features built into iOS and iPadOS, including app sandboxing, complete file protection for your record and backups, an App Group container shared only with the App's own widgets, the optional Face ID, Touch ID or passcode lock, and Apple's StoreKit transaction verification. No method of electronic storage can be guaranteed to be perfectly secure. However, the App does not transmit your record to us, because we have no servers that receive it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example to reflect new App functionality or legal requirements. When we do, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top. The basic commitment that the App does not collect your personal data will not change without clear notice.
