Privacy Policy

Effective Date: April 18, 2026  ·  Swellr Technologies LLC

Swellr Technologies LLC cares deeply about your privacy. KeepSpot is designed as a privacy-first, local-first app: we do not operate servers that store your content, we do not use advertising SDKs, and we do not sell your personal information.

1. Summary — What You Actually Need to Know

  • No accounts. KeepSpot has no sign-up, no login, and no Swellr-hosted user profile.
  • No tracking, no ads. KeepSpot does not include advertising, attribution, or cross-site/cross-app tracking SDKs.
  • No analytics SDKs today. As of the Effective Date, KeepSpot does not include any third-party analytics SDK. If we ever add lightweight anonymous diagnostics, we'll update this policy first.
  • Your content stays on your device. Saves, photos, voice memos, files, notes, tags, and collections are stored locally in the App's sandbox.
  • Optional iCloud sync uses your own personal Apple iCloud account. Swellr never receives a copy of that data.
  • Payments are handled entirely by Apple through the App Store. We never see your payment details.
  • Some features send URLs to third-party websites (e.g., to fetch article text or preview images). See Section 5 for details.

2. Who We Are

Swellr Technologies LLC, a limited liability company (USA).

  • Contact: info@swellrtechnologies.com
  • Website: www.swellrtechnologies.com

For GDPR purposes, Swellr Technologies LLC is the "data controller" for the limited personal information described in this Policy (for example, emails you send us). You control the content you create in the App.

3. Information KeepSpot Handles

3.1 Content you create ("Your Saves")

Everything you capture, import, or organize in KeepSpot — notes, photos, voice memos, files, URLs, tags, collections, article text, and OCR-indexed image text — is stored on your device in the App's private sandbox. Swellr does not receive, access, copy, or see Your Saves at any time.

If you enable iCloud Sync, Your Saves are synced to your own iCloud account's private CloudKit database.

3.2 App settings and preferences

KeepSpot stores appearance, sync, and feature preferences on your device using iOS UserDefaults. These are not transmitted to Swellr.

3.3 Information we do NOT collect

We don't collect personal information about you, except in the limited cases where you directly contact us or where Apple shares anonymized diagnostics because you opted in at the OS level.

Specifically, KeepSpot does not collect: your name, phone number, email, address, advertising identifiers, device IDs, precise location, contacts, calendar or health data, browsing history, or biometric templates.

4. Where Your Information is Stored

4.1 On your device

Your Saves and preferences are stored inside the App's sandbox, protected by iOS file-protection and app-sandboxing.

4.2 In your personal iCloud account (optional)

If you turn on iCloud Sync, KeepSpot uses Apple CloudKit's private database inside your iCloud container. The data sits in your own iCloud account — Swellr cannot see or download it. Access is governed by Apple's iCloud terms and privacy policy.

5. Network Requests the App Makes

When you save a URL, KeepSpot may contact the destination website to fetch article text, page metadata, and preview images. This reveals the URL to that website and to any CDN or proxy in between — the same as visiting the page in a browser. KeepSpot does not send any personal information about you in these requests beyond what a standard browser would send (User-Agent and the URL itself).

Standard network metadata (your IP address, DNS query, and TLS SNI) is visible to your network provider and the destination server, as with any internet request. KeepSpot does not transmit this information to Swellr.

KeepSpot does not use any third-party advertising, attribution, or analytics network that would receive your data as a result of normal App use.

6. Apple Services

KeepSpot uses Apple-provided frameworks and services: CloudKit (iCloud Sync), StoreKit (subscriptions), LocalAuthentication (Face ID / Touch ID), Vision (OCR and scene labels), and APNs (notifications). Use of these services is governed by Apple's privacy policy at apple.com/legal/privacy.

7. Subscriptions and Payments

All subscription purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store. Swellr receives only anonymous subscription-status signals from StoreKit — we never see your name, payment method, or billing address.

8. Information You Send Us

If you email us for support or with a privacy request, we receive your name, email address, and message content. We use this only to respond to you and retain it for up to 2 years.

9. Information We Share

We do not sell personal information. We do not share your information with third parties for advertising. As of the Effective Date, the only third party that processes any data on our behalf is Apple (via the services listed in Section 6). We do not use third-party analytics, advertising, crash-reporting, or marketing vendors. If this changes, we will update this Policy before any new processor is enabled. Limited sharing may also occur when legally required or as part of a business transfer.

10. Data Retention

  • Your Saves and preferences remain on your device until you delete them or uninstall the App.
  • Soft-deleted Saves are retained for up to 30 days for recovery and sync reconciliation, then permanently removed.
  • iCloud-synced copies follow Apple's iCloud retention behavior.
  • Email correspondence is retained for up to 2 years, then deleted or anonymized.

11. Security

KeepSpot relies on Apple platform security: iOS app sandboxing, file protection, optional Face ID/Touch ID app lock, HTTPS for all network requests, and iCloud encryption. No system is perfectly secure — you are responsible for securing your device, Apple ID, and any backups.

12. Children

KeepSpot is not directed to children under 13 (or 16 where applicable). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Contact info@swellrtechnologies.com if you believe a child has provided us information.

13. Your Privacy Rights

Because KeepSpot stores Your Saves locally, you already have direct control: access, edit, delete, or export your data inside the App at any time. For email correspondence we hold, contact us at info@swellrtechnologies.com.

California (CCPA/CPRA). Swellr has not sold or shared personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising in the preceding 12 months. California residents have the right to:

  • know what personal information we have collected and how it is used;
  • request deletion of personal information we hold about you;
  • request correction of inaccurate personal information;
  • opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information (we do not engage in either);
  • limit the use and disclosure of sensitive personal information (we do not collect any);
  • non-discrimination for exercising any of the above rights.

To submit a verifiable consumer request, email info@swellrtechnologies.com with the subject "California Privacy Request." We will confirm receipt within 10 business days and respond within 45 days (extendable once by up to 45 additional days where permitted by law).

EU/UK (GDPR). Where we process personal information subject to GDPR or UK GDPR, we rely on performance of contract, legitimate interests, consent, and compliance with legal obligations as applicable legal bases. You have the right to:

  • access the personal information we hold about you;
  • rectification of inaccurate or incomplete information;
  • erasure ("right to be forgotten") in certain circumstances;
  • restriction of processing in certain circumstances;
  • data portability in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format;
  • object to processing based on legitimate interests;
  • withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent;
  • lodge a complaint with your national supervisory authority (for example, the UK Information Commissioner's Office, or your EU member-state data protection authority).

To exercise any of these rights, email info@swellrtechnologies.com. We will respond within 30 days of receipt; this may be extended by up to 60 additional days for complex requests, with notice. Because Swellr does not receive Your Saves, requests relating to saved content (access, portability, erasure) are generally exercised directly inside the App rather than through Swellr.

14. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. The current version will be posted at keepspotapp.com and in the App under Settings → About → Privacy Policy. We'll update the Effective Date when changes are made. For material changes that expand how we use or share personal information, we will provide at least 30 days' notice via the App or website and, where required by law, obtain your consent.
