Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 11, 2026
In short: everything you put into the app stays on your iPhone. There's no account, no server of ours, no ads, no analytics and no tracking. Your contacts never leave your phone. The only outside service involved is the one that handles in-app purchases (RevenueCat, together with Apple), and it never sees your contacts or birthdays.
Who is responsible

What the app stores, and where
The app stores the following only on your device, inside the app's own storage:
- The people you add or import: name, birthday and other dates (such as anniversaries), a phone number if you add one, and a link to their contact card.
- Your notes, such as gift ideas, and your choices per person (reminder style, gift reminders, preferred way to send wishes).
- When you marked a birthday as done, and your settings.
We (the developer) cannot see any of this. Nothing is uploaded to us or to anyone else. Like all app data, it is part of your own iPhone or iCloud backups if you use them; those are governed by Apple's privacy policy.
Contacts
With your permission, the app reads names, birthdays, other dates, phone numbers and contact photos from your Contacts to find birthdays and show them. If you choose to save a birthday to a contact, the app writes only the birthday or date field of that contact, or creates a new contact with the name and birthday you entered. It never deletes contacts or changes any other field. You can share all or only selected contacts, and change this anytime in Settings › Apps › Did You? › Contacts.
Notifications and widgets
Reminders are local notifications scheduled on your device. Widgets read a small file the app keeps on your device. No push service and no server are involved.
Sending wishes
When you choose to send a birthday message, the app hands the text to Messages, WhatsApp or another app you pick. What happens next is between you and that app; the app doesn't see or store what you send.
Backups you export
If you use Export backup, the app creates a file with your people, dates, notes and settings and lets you save or share it wherever you choose. That file is yours: keep it somewhere private, because anyone with the file can read it.
Purchases
Pro is sold through Apple's App Store. Payments are handled entirely by Apple; we never see your payment details. To check whether Pro is active, the app uses RevenueCat (RevenueCat, Inc.), which receives an anonymous app user ID, your purchase history for this app and basic device information (such as app version and country). It does not receive your contacts, birthdays, notes or name. See RevenueCat's privacy policy and Apple's privacy policy. Legal basis: performance of the purchase contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).
Crash reports
The app contains no analytics or crash-reporting code. If you have turned on "Share With App Developers" in your iPhone's Analytics settings, Apple may share anonymous crash and usage data with us. You control this in Settings › Privacy & Security › Analytics & Improvements.
Your rights
Because your data is stored only on your device, you are in full control of it: edit or remove people in the app, and delete the app to erase all of its data from your phone. For purchase data, you can contact us and we will help with requests to RevenueCat. Under the GDPR you have the right to access, correct and delete your personal data, to restrict or object to processing, to data portability, and to lodge a complaint with a data protection authority.
Children
The app is not directed at children and doesn't knowingly collect any personal data.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be published on this page with a new date.
