TL;DR: LoveKeeper is a privacy-first app. All your data (events, photos, memories) is stored ONLY on your device. We don't have access to your personal information. We use minimal analytics to improve the app, and you can opt-out anytime.
1. Introduction
Welcome to LoveKeeper ("we," "our," or "us"). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy explains how we handle your information when you use our mobile application LoveKeeper (the "App").
Key Principle: Your personal data belongs to you. We designed LoveKeeper to store all your events, memories, and photos locally on your device, not on our servers.
2. Data We Collect
2.1 Data Stored Locally (On Your Device Only)
The following data is stored exclusively on your device and is never transmitted to our servers:
- Events: Anniversary dates, birthdays, event names, categories, emojis, and photos
- Memories: Photos, titles, descriptions, dates, and categories
- Bucket List Items: Goals, descriptions, priorities, and associated photos
- Reminders: Notification preferences and reminder times
- App Settings: Your preferences and customizations
Important: If you delete the app or reset your device, all this data will be permanently lost unless you have created a backup.
2.2 Analytics Data (Optional - Can Be Disabled)
To improve the app, we collect minimal, anonymized usage data through Amplitude Analytics:
- App usage: Which features you use (e.g., created an event, added a memory)
- Device information: Device type (iPhone 15, Samsung Galaxy, etc.), OS version, app version
- Performance data: App crashes, loading times, error reports
- General statistics: Session duration, feature engagement
What we DON'T collect in analytics:
- Your actual event names, dates, or details
- Your photos or memory content
- Your personal information (name, email, phone)
- Your location
- Your contacts
2.3 Device Permissions
The app requests the following permissions:
- Camera: To take photos for your memories and events (optional, only if you use the camera feature)
- Photo Library: To select existing photos from your device (optional, only if you add photos)
- Notifications: To send you reminders about upcoming anniversaries and events (optional)
- Storage: To save your events, memories, and photos locally on your device
You can deny any of these permissions. The app will continue to work, but some features may be limited.
