Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 2026

BlipShelf is a personal event-logging tool. In one sentence: we have no server, and we cannot see any of your data. Here are the details.

What we collect

Nothing. BlipShelf has no account, no sign-in, and the developer has no server capable of receiving data. The app contains no third-party analytics, crash-reporting, or advertising SDKs.

Where your data lives

All entries (text, tags, photos, voice attachments) stay on your device by default. If you turn on "Sync across my devices" in Settings, your data is stored via Apple CloudKit in your own private iCloud database (a dedicated container, iCloud.com.blipshelf.app, not shared with any other app). This sync is handled entirely by Apple's infrastructure — the developer has no access to it and can never see the contents.

Network access

Aside from the iCloud sync above and in-app purchases processed through the App Store (StoreKit), the app makes no network requests. If you paste a URL into an entry, only the plain text is stored — no preview is fetched and the link is never visited.

Permissions

The "Add to Reminders" feature requests access to the Apple Reminders app, used only to create the single reminder you explicitly tap to add. BlipShelf itself never stores, displays, or counts any reminders or to-dos.

Photos and location data

EXIF metadata (including GPS location) is stripped from photo attachments before they are saved. No location information is retained.

Data portability and deletion

You can export all your data at any time in an open, stable, human-readable format (JSON plus a photos folder). Deleting the app or turning off iCloud sync stops syncing; any already-synced data remains in your own iCloud account, managed through your iCloud settings.

Children's privacy

BlipShelf is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect information from anyone — because it does not collect information from anyone.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes materially, the "Last updated" date above will be updated.
