Toehold does not collect your data. There is no account, no server, and no analytics. Everything the app knows stays on your device.
Nothing. We do not collect, transmit, sell, or share any personal information. We have no servers that receive data from the app, and we have no way to see what you type into it.
The tasks, steps, and notes you create are stored on your device using Apple's SwiftData. If you have iCloud enabled for Toehold, that data also syncs through your own private iCloud account, which is operated by Apple under Apple's Privacy Policy. We cannot read it: it is your iCloud account, not ours.
Deleting the app deletes the local copy. Data synced to iCloud can be removed from Settings > your name > iCloud > Manage Account Storage.
When you ask Toehold to break a task down, that request is handled entirely on your device by Apple's on-device foundation model through the Foundation Models framework. The text you type is not sent to us, to Apple's servers, or to any third party. On devices where the on-device model is not available, the app uses built-in step lists instead, and again nothing leaves the device.
Toehold contains no advertising SDKs, no analytics SDKs, no crash reporters, and no tracking of any kind. We do not use the Advertising Identifier (IDFA) and we do not track you across apps or websites. We do not ask for App Tracking Transparency permission because we have nothing to request it for.
The app requests no permissions. It does not use your camera, microphone, location, contacts, photos, health data, or notifications.
Toehold is not directed at children and, because it collects no data at all, it collects no data from children.
Regulations such as the GDPR and CCPA grant rights of access, correction, deletion, and portability over personal data a company holds about you. We hold none, so there is nothing to request. The data on your device is under your control, and you can export, edit, or delete it at any time.
If this policy ever changes, the revised version will be posted on this page with a new date above. Since the app collects nothing, we do not expect it to change in any way that affects you.
