Keep CloseKeepClose Privacy Policy
Effective November 13, 2026
KeepClose helps you stay in touch with the people you care about. It's designed so that your information stays on your iPhone.
What we collect
Nothing. KeepClose has no accounts, no servers, no analytics, no advertising, and no third-party tracking or SDKs. The developer never receives your data.
What the app stores on your device
The contacts you choose to track (name, phone numbers, email addresses and contact photo), notes, groups, birthdays, reminder schedules, interaction history, life events, and links between Messages conversations and contacts. This data is kept in a private container on your device that only KeepClose and its widgets and extensions can access. It isn't synced to iCloud by KeepClose.
What the app reads but doesn't upload
- Contacts: read only for the people you choose to add. KeepClose writes to Contacts only when you edit and save someone's birthday.
- Photos: On This Day shows photos taken on today's date in past years, displayed directly from your library and never copied or uploaded.
- On-device intelligence: message suggestions are generated by Apple's on-device language model, and photos are analyzed on-device by Apple's Vision framework. Nothing is sent off your device.
When data leaves your device
Only when you choose to send something, such as a message, photo or call started from KeepClose. These go through Apple's Messages and Phone apps like any message you send yourself.
Your choices
You can delete any tracked person, which also deletes their history. You can revoke Contacts, Photos or Notifications access in iOS Settings at any time. Deleting the app removes all of its data from your device.
Children
KeepClose doesn't knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children.
Changes
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted here with a new effective date.
