Privacy Policy

LockDot is made by AppKind. This policy explains what the app processes, where it is stored, who else is involved and what you can do about it.

In short

• No account, no ads, no analytics and no server of ours.
• Your lists and notes stay on your iPhone.
• We do not sell your personal data.

Who we are

The developer and data controller for LockDot is FOP Danyil Ihnatenko (ФОП Ігнатенко Даниїл Ігорович), Ukraine (D-U-N-S 66-768-9100), trading as AppKind. Contact: support@appkind.app.

What we process and where it is stored

• Your lists, pinned note, check questions with their emoji and answer history, the photo you pick as a wallpaper background (resized copy) and settings. Stored only on your iPhone, in a container shared with the app’s widgets, and never sent to us.
• Wallpapers are saved to Photos only when you ask.
• Purchase status: whether Pro is active (see Apple and RevenueCat below).

Permissions

The app asks for a permission only when a feature needs it. You can say no and change your mind later in system settings; the rest of the app keeps working.

• Photos (add only): to save wallpapers you make. Picking a background uses the system picker, so the app sees only the photo you pick.
• Notifications (optional): a local reminder before your free trial ends. Nothing else is sent as a notification. Live Activities run locally.

Third-party services

These providers process data for the purposes below under their own privacy policies:

• Apple: App Store payments and subscription status. Privacy policy: apple.com/legal/privacy
• RevenueCat: Checks whether Pro is active. Receives an anonymous app user ID, your App Store transaction records and basic device and app information. Privacy policy: revenuecat.com/privacy

Visible on the Lock Screen

By default, what you put in LockDot widgets and the Live Activity is shown on your Lock Screen, where anyone holding your phone can see it without unlocking. Turn on “Hide text while iPhone is locked” in the app to hide it, and don’t pin anything you want to keep private.

Why we process it

• To provide the app and the features you use, including Pro (performance of our contract with you).
• Optional permissions and connections are used only after you turn them on (your consent, which you can withdraw at any time).
• To meet legal obligations, such as tax rules for purchases, which the stores handle.

What we never do

• We do not sell your personal data.
• We do not show ads and do not track you across other companies’ apps and websites.
• We do not use analytics or crash-reporting SDKs.

International transfers and security

The providers above may process data outside your country, including in the United States. We rely on the safeguards they offer, such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses. Data that leaves your device is encrypted in transit (HTTPS).

How long we keep data

Your content is kept until you erase it or delete the app. It is included in your iPhone backup (iCloud or computer), managed by Apple or you.

Deleting your data

• Swipe to delete list lines and checks, and clear or unpin the note.
• Settings → Erase all data removes everything the app stores on the iPhone.
• Deleting the app removes all its data, including the wallpaper photo copy, from the iPhone. Wallpapers you saved to Photos stay there after erasing or uninstalling.

Your rights

If you are in the EEA or the UK (GDPR / UK GDPR), you have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to the processing of your personal data, to data portability, and to withdraw consent at any time. You can also complain to your local data protection authority (in Ukraine: the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights).

If you live in California or another US state with a privacy law (CCPA/CPRA and similar), you have the right to know, access, correct and delete your personal information, and not to be discriminated against for using these rights. We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising.

Most of your data never reaches us: it stays on your device or in your own cloud, where you control it directly with the tools above. For data held by our providers (for example purchase records at RevenueCat), write to support@appkind.app and we will help.

Children

LockDot is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we will post the new version on this page with a new date, and tell you in the app if the change is significant.
