Privacy Policy for RememberPeople
Last Updated: May 16, 2026
Introduction
Keeping up with technology ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application RememberPeople (the "App").
Our Core Privacy Principles:
- Local-First Storage: Your data is stored on your device and, if you choose to enable iCloud, synced to your own personal iCloud account — not to our servers.
- No Developer Access: We do not operate a cloud database. We cannot read, access, or analyse your personal data.
- No Third-Party Sharing: We do not share your data with analytics providers, advertisers, or data brokers.
- Minimal Permissions: We only request device permissions required for features you actively use.
- On-Device Processing: AI features (voice transcription, image recognition) run entirely on your device.
- User Control: You maintain full control over your data and can delete it at any time.
Please read this privacy policy carefully. By using RememberPeople, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
What RememberPeople Does
RememberPeople is a personal relationship memory app. It helps you remember important details about people you meet — using techniques like spaced repetition, location anchoring, voice transcription, and tagging — so you can maintain stronger, more meaningful relationships.
All of the cognitive features in the app (quizzes, geofence reminders, voice notes, contact facts) are designed to work entirely within your own device and your personal iCloud account.
Information We Collect
1. Information You Enter Directly
The following information is stored in RememberPeople when you create or edit records:
Contact Profiles
- Names, nicknames, roles, and company information
- Profile photos or avatar images you select
- Birth dates (if entered)
- Quick-recall fact tags (e.g., "Twin daughters", "UNSW graduate")
- Connections and relationships between contacts
Meeting Notes and Interactions
- Meeting notes with dates and optional location names
- Audio voice recordings and their on-device transcriptions
- Location coordinates (latitude/longitude) of meetings you choose to record
- CRM-style interaction logs: calls, emails, meetings, coffee chats, video calls, and custom notes
- Interaction titles, details, and dates
Groups and Organisations
- Group names and their members
- Organisation names linked to contacts
2. Information Captured Automatically
Location Data (with your permission)
- Coordinates of locations you record in meeting notes
- Geofence boundaries used to trigger contextual reminders when you revisit a place
Voice Transcriptions (with your permission)
- Audio from your microphone while recording meeting notes
- On-device transcriptions of those recordings
Contacts (with your permission)
- Contact data you import from your device's Contacts app (name, role, organisation, photo)
LinkedIn Data (at your direction)
RememberPeople provides two optional LinkedIn features. Both are entirely user-initiated and store data only on your device:
LinkedIn Connections CSV Import
- You export your own connections data directly from LinkedIn's website.
- You select the resulting Connections.csv file using the iOS Files document picker.
- The App reads and parses the file locally on your device — it is never uploaded to our servers.
- Fields extracted: first name, last name, email address, company, job title/position, and connection date.
LinkedIn Profile Browser
- An in-app browser (WKWebView) allows you to log in to LinkedIn and browse profiles.
- When you tap "Capture", the App runs a JavaScript extraction on the profile page to read: name, headline, current job, company, and photo URL.
- No data is transmitted to our servers; extraction and storage occur entirely on your device.
- Your session cookies are stored in the device's standard WebKit data store; we cannot read these cookies.

Data Storage and iCloud Sync
Local Device Storage
All data is stored on your device using SwiftData (SQLite). Your data is protected by iOS device encryption and app sandboxing.
iCloud Sync via CloudKit
If you have iCloud enabled, data syncs to your personal iCloud account. This means:
- Your iCloud account, not ours: Stored in your own private container.
- We cannot access it: Apple's architecture prevents developer access to your private data.
- End-to-end encrypted: Protected by Apple's iCloud security.
On-Device Processing
| Feature | Framework | What It Does |
|---|---|---|
| Voice transcription | Apple Speech | Converts voice to text |
| OCR scanning | Apple Vision | Reads text from business cards |
| Geofence detection | Apple CoreLocation | Monitors saved locations |
| LinkedIn capture | WKWebView JS | Extracts profile text on-device |
| LinkedIn CSV import | On-device Parser | Parses selected file locally |

- Right to Access: View all data directly within the app.
- Right to Deletion: Delete records in-app or uninstall the app to wipe all data.
