Privacy Policy
Your folks live in your iCloud, not ours.
Tendlet (the "app", "we") is built by Q10 Labs, Belgium. This policy explains what data the app handles and what we do — and don't — do with it.
The short version: Tendlet has no servers. Your folks, photos, routines, and journal entries live in your own iCloud account.
What we don't do
- No analytics. No SDK like Mixpanel, Amplitude, Google Analytics, Firebase, etc. is integrated.
- No advertising. No ads. No advertising identifier collected.
- No tracking. Tendlet does not track you across apps or websites.
- No third-party servers. Aside from Apple's CloudKit and WeatherKit (your data, your location), the app does not contact any backend.
- No account sign-up. Tendlet doesn't ask for an email address, phone number, or social login.
Data Tendlet stores on your device
When you use Tendlet, the app stores the following locally on your device:
- The names, species, breed, and optional birthday of the folks (pets, plants) you add
- Optional photos you attach to journal entries or folks
- Care routines, completions, and timestamps
- Medication, weight, symptom, and document records (pets)
- Family member names (display-only, used to label "watered by Alex")
- Your selected country, palette, density, and other UI preferences
- Vet contact information you add manually
This data never leaves your device unless you turn on iCloud sync (see below).
iCloud sync (CloudKit)
If you turn on Family share in the You tab, Tendlet uses Apple's CloudKit to:
- Store your data in your personal iCloud account (your private database)
- Sync that data between your own devices
- If you invite a family member, share the household record with them so their device can read and write the same data
We never see this data. CloudKit operates between your device and Apple's servers using your iCloud credentials. We have no server that reads or stores your data on our behalf.
To delete this data, sign in to iCloud → Manage Storage → Tendlet on any device and clear the app's iCloud data.
Weather (WeatherKit)
If you grant Tendlet access to your location, the app sends your approximate location to Apple's WeatherKit service to fetch the current outdoor temperature, condition, and humidity displayed on the home screen.
- Apple receives the location query — we do not.
- Apple's WeatherKit privacy practices are documented at developer.apple.com/weatherkit/data-source-attribution.
- The location is not stored by Tendlet beyond the duration of the network call.
- You can revoke location access at any time in iOS Settings → Tendlet → Location. The app continues to work; the weather strip will show a placeholder.
Push notifications
Tendlet schedules local notifications on your device for routine reminders. These are scheduled by UNUserNotificationCenter and never sent through our servers or any third-party push provider. We do not see when they fire or whether you acted on them.
Apple's silent-push (used by CloudKit to notify your device of remote changes) is the only push channel that touches Apple's servers, and it carries no payload we control.
Children
Tendlet is rated 4+ and is safe for all ages. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children (or anyone else).
Your rights
Because we don't store your data, there's nothing to request a copy of or have us delete. Your data lives in your iCloud account, fully under your control:
- Access / export → use iOS's standard iCloud export tools
- Delete → uninstall the app and clear its iCloud data from iCloud → Manage Storage → Tendlet
EU residents have additional rights under GDPR. If you have a question, contact us at the address below.
Changes to this policy
If we ever change this policy (e.g. to add a feature that requires new data handling), we'll update the "Last updated" date at the top. Significant changes will also be summarised in the app's "What's new" notes for that version.
