WidgetLoft Privacy Policy

Information We Access

• Your folder layout and the apps you add to folders are stored locally on your device so your widgets can display and launch them.
• App icon artwork may be fetched from the public iTunes Search service to render icons; results are cached on your device.
• WidgetLoft does not read your messages, contacts, photos, or location.

How Your Data Is Used

• Your folder configuration is processed on-device to render widgets and launch your apps.
• WidgetLoft does not upload your folder data or app list to a WidgetLoft server.
• We do not sell your personal data.

Advertising

WidgetLoft may display ads through Google AdMob. To serve and measure ads, AdMob may process limited device information and identifiers, such as the advertising identifier, in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy. Where required, WidgetLoft asks for your permission before using tracking identifiers, and you can change this at any time in iOS Settings.

Analytics & Diagnostics

WidgetLoft uses Google Firebase (Analytics and Crashlytics) to understand how the app is used and to detect and fix crashes. This includes anonymous usage events, device and app information, an app-generated identifier, and crash and performance diagnostics. This data is processed by Google in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy. It is used to improve the app and is not used to identify you personally. Where required, analytics is subject to your consent, which you can change at any time in iOS Settings.

Announcements and Notifications

WidgetLoft can show short announcements about new features and important notes inside the app. They are loaded from our server on Google Firebase, and nothing about you is sent to load them. Notifications for these announcements are optional and stay off until you turn them on. If you do, Firebase Cloud Messaging receives a device token and an app-generated identifier to deliver them, and your app language so you get them in your language. This data is processed by Google in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy. It is not used to identify you personally. You can turn notifications off at any time in WidgetLoft's Settings or in iOS Settings.

Website Analytics

The widgetloft.app website uses DataFast, a privacy-focused analytics service, to count visits and see which pages are useful. We use its cookieless script: it stores no cookies, no advertising identifiers, and does not follow you to other websites. It records aggregate information such as the page visited, the referring site, an approximate country, and browser and device type. This cannot be used to identify you personally and is never combined with data from the WidgetLoft app.

Subscriptions and Purchases

WidgetLoft offers an optional premium upgrade ("WidgetLoft Pro") as an auto-renewable subscription and as a one-time lifetime purchase. Payments are processed by Apple through your App Store account; we never receive or store your payment card details.

To validate purchases, restore them across your devices, and manage your premium access, WidgetLoft uses Adapty, a third-party subscription-management service. Adapty processes purchase and transaction information and an app-generated identifier for this purpose, in accordance with its own privacy policy. We do not use this information to identify you personally.

Data Retention

Your folder configuration and cached icons remain on your device until you delete folders or remove the app. Uninstalling WidgetLoft removes its locally stored data.

Children's Privacy

WidgetLoft is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
