Foldoom privacy policy

Foldoom collects nothing. Your fold count stays on your phone and is never sent to me or anyone else.

What the app stores

To show your count, Foldoom keeps a small amount of data on your device:

  • the number of unfolds per day
  • the starting count you entered, and the date and daily estimate you used for it

This data lives in the app's own storage on your phone, shared only with the Foldoom widget so it can show the same number. It is included in your device backups like any other app data.

What the app does not do

  • No account or sign-in.
  • No network requests. The app does not connect to the internet.
  • No analytics, advertising or tracking, and no third-party code that does any of these.
  • No access to your contacts, photos, location, camera, microphone or health data.

Shortcuts

Automatic counting uses a Shortcuts automation that you create yourself. Shortcuts runs Foldoom's "Log a Fold" action when your phone opens; that action only adds one to the count on your device.

Deleting your data

Delete the app and its data is removed from your phone. You can also correct the count at any time with Adjust Count or Starting Count.

Children

Foldoom collects no personal information from anyone, including children.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new date.
