Privacy Policy

Effective 2 May 2026 · Last updated 2 May 2026

Pocket Backlog is designed with your privacy in mind. We do not collect, sell, or share your personal data with third parties. Your backlog stays yours.

1. Who We Are

Pocket Backlog is developed and published by PocketLab Studio, a sole trader based in the United Kingdom. If you have any questions about this policy, you can reach us at studiopocketlab@gmail.com.

2. What Data We Collect

Pocket Backlog stores all of your data locally on your device using Apple's native frameworks. If you subscribe to the Pro plan, your data can sync across your Apple devices via iCloud. This sync is governed by Apple's own privacy policy and is entirely within your control.

We do not operate any servers of our own. We never receive or store your data.

The following types of data may reside on your device or in your personal iCloud account:

  • Items you add to your backlog, including titles, notes, and status
  • Collections, tags, or categories you define
  • App preferences and settings

3. iCloud Sync

If you are subscribed to Pocket Backlog Pro and have iCloud enabled on your device, Pocket Backlog uses CloudKit to sync your data across your Apple devices signed in to the same Apple ID. This data is stored in your personal iCloud account and is subject to Apple's Privacy Policy. We have no access to your iCloud data.

You can disable iCloud sync at any time in your device's Settings → [Your Name] → iCloud.

4. Third-Party SDKs & Analytics

Pocket Backlog does not include any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs. We do not use Firebase, Mixpanel, Facebook SDK, or similar tools.

Apple may collect certain anonymous diagnostic and usage data through the App Store as part of standard iOS operation. This is governed by Apple's Privacy Policy and can be managed in your device Settings → Privacy & Security → Analytics & Improvements.

5. Purchases

Any in-app purchases are processed entirely by Apple via StoreKit. We do not receive or store your payment information. Purchase receipts are handled by Apple and are subject to Apple's Privacy Policy.

6. Children's Privacy

Pocket Backlog is intended for a general audience aged 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can address it.

7. Your Rights

Because we do not collect or store your personal data on our servers, there is no data held by PocketLab Studio for us to access, export, or delete on your behalf. To delete your app data, simply delete the app from your device. To remove iCloud data, manage this from iCloud settings on your device.

If you are based in the UK or EU, you have rights under UK GDPR and GDPR respectively. Given that we hold no personal data, those rights are most practically exercised through Apple for any data in your iCloud account.

8. Changes to This Policy

If we make material changes to this privacy policy, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
