Summary

Data We Do Not Collect

  • No personal information, usage data, or analytics.

Data Stored on Your Device

  • Your app list and settings are stored in iOS UserDefaults via an App Group shared with the widget. This data may be included in iCloud device backups.
  • Your PIN is stored in the iOS Keychain with kSecAttrAccessibleWhenUnlockedThisDeviceOnly — it is never synced to iCloud and never leaves your device.

Permissions

  • Photo Library (write only): used once during setup to save a pure black wallpaper image. Paws never reads your photos.

Third Parties

  • Paws uses no third-party SDKs, analytics services, or advertising networks.

Children's Privacy

  • Paws is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from children.

Changes to This Policy
