QuietField

Privacy Policy

Effective date: June 12, 2026

QuietField is built so that your thoughts stay yours. This policy explains what the app does with your data — which is very little.

What we collect: nothing.

QuietField has no account system, no sign-up, and no server of ours that receives your content. We (the developer) cannot read your thoughts, transcripts, searches, or anything else you put in the app.

Where your data lives.

Everything you capture is stored locally on your device. If your device is signed into iCloud, your entries sync and back up through your own private iCloud database (Apple CloudKit), tied to your Apple ID. Only you can access it; we cannot. Deleting the app's data from inside QuietField ("Delete All") removes entries from your device and your iCloud container. You can also export all of your thoughts to a Markdown file at any time from inside the app.

Voice and speech.

Voice capture uses Apple's on-device speech recognition where available. In the current version, only the text transcript is saved — raw audio is not stored. Speech processing follows Apple's speech service terms for your device and language settings.

Notifications.

If you turn on the optional daily reminder, it is scheduled locally on your device. No notification data leaves your device, and you can turn it off anytime in the app.

Analytics.

QuietField contains no third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs. The app writes basic technical event logs (such as "a capture happened") to Apple's local logging system on your device for debugging. These logs never include the content of your thoughts, transcripts, or searches, and they are not transmitted to us. If you opt in to Apple's "Share With App Developers" analytics, Apple provides us aggregated, anonymized statistics under Apple's privacy terms.

Purchases.

Optional premium subscriptions are processed entirely by Apple through your Apple ID. We never see your payment details.

Face ID.

If you enable the app lock, Face ID/Touch ID evaluation happens entirely on your device through Apple's LocalAuthentication framework. No biometric data is accessible to us.

Children.

QuietField is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect any personal information from anyone.

Changes.

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at this address with a new effective date.
