Foldwriter
Privacy Policy
The short version: Foldwriter collects nothing. It has no account, no analytics, no ads and no tracking, and it never connects to the internet. Your letters stay on your iPhone until you choose to send one.
Who we are
Foldwriter is made by Richard van Yperen, an independent developer in the Netherlands. If you have a question about this policy, write to richard@vanyperen.com.
What the app collects
Nothing. Foldwriter does not collect, store on a server, sell or share any personal data. It contains no third-party code for analytics, advertising, crash reporting or tracking, and it does not make network requests.
What stays on your iPhone
- The letter you are typing, so a draft survives when you close the app.
- The letters you have sent, in the letter box, until you delete them.
- Your settings, such as the machine, paper, ribbon, sound and haptics.
This information is stored only on your device. It is not sent to us. If your iPhone is backed up to iCloud or a computer, Apple's backup may include it, under Apple's own privacy terms. Deleting the app deletes all of it.
When you send a letter
Sending a letter opens the standard iOS share sheet. You choose where the picture, PDF or video goes, for example Messages, Mail or another app. From that moment the app you chose, and the person you send it to, handle the letter under their own terms. We never see it.
By default, a sent letter carries a small "typed on Foldwriter" line. You can turn it off in Settings.
Saving to Photos
If you tap Save image, iOS asks once whether Foldwriter may add pictures to your photo library. Foldwriter only adds the picture of your letter. It cannot see or read the photos you already have.
Children
Foldwriter is suitable for all ages and collects no data from anyone, including children.
Changes
If this policy ever changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new effective date. If a future version of the app were to collect any data, this policy and the App Store privacy label would say so before that version is released.
Your rights
Because we hold no personal data about you, there is nothing for us to access, correct or delete. You can still contact us at richard@vanyperen.com with any privacy question, and you have the right to complain to the Dutch data protection authority, the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens.
