Privacy Policy

Welcome to Pippin. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal information when you use the Pippin iOS application, and informs you of your privacy rights.

1. Local-First Approach & Data Collection

We believe in data minimization and local empowerment. Pippin utilizes local device storage (AsyncStorage) for handling your tasks, schedules, and brain dumps. This means the core of your personal organization data stays directly on your iOS device.

When you use our AI features (like "Ask Pippin"), limited necessary context may be securely transmitted for processing. This data is used solely to generate your optimized schedule and is discarded immediately after processing. It is not retained, stored on our servers, or used to train generalized language models.

2. No Sale of Personal Data

Our business model is built entirely on providing you with a premium scheduling tool, not on monetizing your personal information. We do not, and will never, sell your personal data, task information, schedules, or usage patterns to third parties. Your schedule is yours alone.

3. Data Security

Because your core task data is stored locally via AsyncStorage, the security of this information is intimately tied to the security of your iOS device. We strongly recommend enabling standard Apple security features such as Face ID, Touch ID, or a strong device passcode. All data transmitted for AI operations uses industry-standard encryption protocols in transit.

4. Analytics and Usage Data

We may collect anonymized, aggregated analytics to help us improve the Pippin app (e.g., measuring feature adoption rates or crash reports). This data cannot be traced back to an individual user and is strictly used for internal app diagnostics and performance improvements.

5. App Store Compliance

This policy fully complies with the Apple App Store Review Guidelines. Pippin is built exclusively for iOS environments, ensuring seamless integration with Apple's ecosystem and strict adherence to their privacy standards.
