Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Shadberry Studios LLC ("Dayfold", "we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use the Dayfold application and related services (the "Service"). By using Dayfold, you agree to the practices described here.
If you have any questions, contact us at support@dayfold.app.
1. Summary
- Dayfold is a personal planner. Your tasks, notes, and plans are yours.
- You can use Dayfold fully offline without an account - in that case your data stays on your device.
- If you sign in, your data is synced and backed up to your private cloud space so it is available across your devices.
- We use Google Firebase to provide accounts and cloud sync. We do not sell your data, show ads, or use third-party advertising or tracking.
- You can delete your account and all associated data at any time from within the app.
2. Information we collect
2.1 Account information
When you create an account or sign in, we collect:
- Your email address.
- Your display name, if provided by your sign-in method (Google or Apple).
We support sign-in with Google, Apple, and email/password. Sign-in is handled by Firebase Authentication. If you sign in with Apple, you may choose to hide your email; we will only receive Apple's private relay address.
2.2 Content you create
Dayfold stores the content you create in the app, including tasks, lists, projects, notes and journal entries, habits, routines, birthdays, pomodoro sessions, and related settings. If you are signed in, this content is stored in your private cloud space so it can sync across your devices. If you use Dayfold offline, this content is stored only on your device.
2.3 Attachments
If you attach photos or files to tasks or projects, those files are stored on your device and, when you are signed in, uploaded to your private cloud storage so they are available across devices.
2.4 Device access (only with your permission)
Dayfold may request access to:
- Camera and photo library - only to let you add photos or files as attachments.
- Device calendar - only to display your existing calendar events inside Dayfold. This access is read-only.
- Face ID / biometrics - only to lock and unlock the app. Biometric authentication is handled entirely by your device's operating system; Dayfold never receives or stores your biometric data.
- Notifications - to deliver reminders you schedule. Reminders are scheduled locally on your device.
You can grant or revoke these permissions at any time in your device settings.
2.5 What we do NOT collect
We do not use advertising, third-party analytics, or tracking SDKs. We do not collect your location, contacts, or browsing activity, and we do not sell or rent your personal information to anyone.
3. How we use your information
We use the information above only to:
- Provide the Service - store, sync, and back up your data across your devices.
- Authenticate you and secure your account.
- Deliver reminders and notifications you set up.
- Respond to your support requests.
- Maintain the security and integrity of the Service.
4. How your information is stored and protected
Your data is stored using Google Firebase (Cloud Firestore and Cloud Storage). Access is protected by security rules that restrict each account's data to that account only - no other user can read or write your data. Data is encrypted in transit. Firebase stores data on Google's infrastructure, which may be located in the United States or other countries.
No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we take reasonable measures to protect your information.
5. Sharing and third parties
We share information only with service providers that make the Service possible:
- Google Firebase / Google LLC - authentication, database, and file storage.
- Apple - Sign in with Apple, if you choose it.
These providers process data on our behalf to run the Service. We do not share your personal information with any other third parties, and we never sell it.
We may disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights, safety, or property of Dayfold or others.
6. Data retention and deletion
We keep your data for as long as your account exists.
You can delete your account at any time from Settings → Data → Delete account. This permanently deletes your account and all associated data in the cloud (your content and attachments) and signs you out. You can also use Reset app data to wipe your data without deleting your account.
If you use Dayfold offline without an account, deleting the app or using Reset app data removes your local data.
7. Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example, under the EU/UK GDPR or the CCPA), you may have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you.
- Correct inaccurate information.
- Delete your information (see Section 6).
- Export or receive a copy of your data.
- Withdraw consent or object to certain processing.
Much of this you can do directly in the app. For any other request, contact us at support@dayfold.app, and we will respond as required by applicable law.
Legal bases (EU/UK GDPR): we process your data to perform our contract with you (providing the Service), based on your consent (for optional device permissions), and for our legitimate interests (securing and improving the Service).
8. Children's privacy
Dayfold is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
9. International users
By using Dayfold, you understand that your information may be processed and stored in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate, which may have different data protection laws than your country.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, notify you in the app. Your continued use of Dayfold after changes take effect means you accept the updated policy.
