Zotty Privacy Policy

Last updated: 25 October 2026

Zotty (“we”, “the app”) is a personal notes and expenses application for Apple devices.

Data we store on your device

Notes, folders, tags, expenses, preferences, and AI settings are stored locally on your device (SwiftData / files). We do not operate a Zotty cloud backend that receives your note content by default.

Optional features

  • Biometric lock: Uses Face ID / Touch ID on-device via Apple’s LocalAuthentication. Biometric data never leaves your device.
  • Reminders: Local notifications scheduled on your device.
  • Voice notes: Microphone audio is recorded and stored on your device.
  • AI (optional):

    • - On-device / Apple Intelligence when available.

    - Your own API keys (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, etc.) are stored in the Keychain on your device and sent only to the provider you configure.

    - Local LLM (LM Studio / Ollama) stays on your local network; we do not receive that traffic.

  • iCloud sync (when enabled, Pro): Uses Apple iCloud / CloudKit under your Apple ID. Your data stays in your private iCloud database; we cannot access it.
  • Cloud storage sync (when connected, Pro): If you connect Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, a WebDAV server (for example Nextcloud) or a folder in the Files app, your synced notes, folders, tags, expenses and (if you turn it on) voice recordings are stored in that service under your own account and its policies. Zotty has no server in this path and cannot read your data. Locked notes are never uploaded. You can turn on optional end-to-end encryption with a passphrase that only you know; we cannot recover a forgotten passphrase.

    • Purchases

    Subscriptions and lifetime unlocks are processed by Apple. We do not receive your payment card details.

    Tracking

    Zotty does not use App Tracking Transparency tracking, third-party ad networks, or analytics SDKs that track you across apps.

    Diagnostics (optional / limited)

    If an unexpected technical error occurs, the app may send a short diagnostic report to our servers so we can email ourselves an alert. Reports may include app version, OS version, locale, and an error message/stack. They do not include your notes, expenses, voice recordings, or API keys.

    Children

    Zotty is not directed at children under 13.
