Aproned

Privacy Policy

Effective: January 1, 2026

The short version Aproned does not collect, transmit, or store your personal data on any server. Everything you log — shifts, tips, schedules, goals, notes — stays on your device. There are no accounts, no analytics, no tracking, and no ads. The only data that ever leaves your phone is what you choose to export yourself, or what Apple/Google/RevenueCat need to process a subscription purchase you make.

1. Who we are

"Aproned" (the app), "we," "us," and "our" refer to the publisher of the Aproned mobile application. If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, contact us at legal@aproned.app.

2. Information we do not collect

Unlike most apps, Aproned has no servers that collect or store user data. Specifically, we do not collect:

We do not run analytics platforms (Firebase, Mixpanel, Amplitude, etc.) and we do not include third-party trackers in the app.

3. Information stored on your device

Aproned stores everything you enter — shifts, tips, restaurants, positions, coworkers, goals, schedules, time off, notes, app settings — in a local database on your device. This data:

4. Optional data export

You can export your data at any time via Settings → Export data, as either a CSV file (shifts only) or a JSON backup (all data). Once exported, that file is yours to share, store, or delete as you see fit. We do not receive a copy.

You can also restore from a previously exported JSON backup, replacing your current data with the backup's contents.

5. Third-party services

Apple App Store and Google Play

When you download Aproned, Apple or Google handles the distribution. Their privacy practices apply to that download and to any in-app purchases you make. See Apple's Privacy Policy and Google's Privacy Policy.

RevenueCat (subscription management)

If you purchase an Aproned Premium subscription, we use RevenueCat to verify your subscription status. RevenueCat receives an anonymous identifier generated by Aproned and information from Apple or Google about your purchase (product ID, purchase date, expiration date). RevenueCat does not receive your name, email, or any data you enter into the app. See RevenueCat's Privacy Policy.

iCloud sync (planned feature)

A future version of Aproned may offer optional iCloud sync to keep your data in sync across your Apple devices. If you enable iCloud sync, your Aproned data is stored in your own personal iCloud account using Apple's CloudKit framework. We do not have access to your iCloud data. iCloud is governed by Apple's privacy practices.

6. Local notifications

If you enable reminders in Settings, Aproned schedules local notifications on your device. These notifications are generated entirely on-device by your operating system. No notification server is involved, and we do not know whether or when notifications are delivered.

7. Face ID, Touch ID, and biometrics

If you enable App lock in Settings, Aproned uses your device's built-in biometric authentication (Face ID, Touch ID, or device passcode) to unlock the app. Biometric data is handled entirely by your device's operating system. Aproned never sees, stores, or transmits your biometric data.

8. Children's privacy

Aproned is intended for adults and minors of legal working age. We do not knowingly collect any data from children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction). Because we do not collect data from anyone, this is by design.

9. International users

Because we do not collect, store, or transmit personal data, Aproned has no data transfers to discuss. The local data on your device remains in your jurisdiction. Your rights under laws such as the GDPR (Europe), CCPA (California), and similar regulations — including the right to access, correct, delete, and export your data — are honored because you already hold and control all of it directly.

10. Your rights

11. Security

Your data is stored using your operating system's standard application sandbox. We recommend enabling App lock (Settings → App lock) for an additional layer of protection. As a privacy-first app with no server-side data, the most common categories of data breach (server hacks, leaked databases, stolen credentials) do not apply.

12. Changes to this policy

If we update this Privacy Policy, the "Effective" date at the top will change. Material changes will be announced inside the app. Continued use of Aproned after a policy change constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

13. Contact

Questions, concerns, or complaints about this Privacy Policy or your data can be sent to legal@aproned.app. We aim to respond within a reasonable timeframe.
