Where Did I Put It?Privacy Policy
The short version:
- We don’t collect, sell or share your personal data.
- Everything you save stays on your iPhone.
- Voice and photo recognition happen on your device.
- There's no account, no ads, no analytics and no tracking.
Who we are
This policy covers the iPhone app Where Did I Put It? (“the app”) and this website, both operated by Omer Kara (“we”, “us”).
Information the app stores
When you use the app, you may save:
- Item names, places and notes you type or say
- Photos you take or choose
- Your location at the moment you save an item, if you turn that option on
- Labels the app generates from your photos (for example “bag” or “car”)
This information is stored only on your device, inside the app’s private storage. It is never sent to us or to any server we operate. We have no way to see it.
Permissions the app asks for
| Permission | Why |
|---|---|
| Microphone | To hear you when you say where you put something. |
| Speech Recognition | To turn your voice into text. On supported iPhones this runs entirely on-device. On older devices, Apple’s speech service may process the audio under Apple’s Privacy Policy. |
| Camera & Photos | To attach a photo of where you put something. Only photos you pick are used. |
| Location (While Using) | To remember where you were when you saved an item, such as a parked car. It's used only when you save and only if the option is on. |
Every permission is optional. You can change them at any time in Settings → Where Did I Put It?. The app still works without them, though some features will be unavailable.
Siri, Shortcuts and widgets
When you use Siri or Shortcuts with the app, Apple processes your request under Apple’s Privacy Policy. The app’s widgets show your recent items on your Home Screen. That data is read from your device and never leaves it.
Maps
When the app shows a map or you tap Directions, map tiles and directions are provided by Apple Maps. Apple may receive the location shown on the map to provide this service.
Analytics, ads and tracking
The app has no analytics, advertising, crash-reporting or tracking software. We do not track you across apps or websites.
This website
This website uses no cookies, analytics or third-party scripts. It's hosted on Google Firebase Hosting, which may process standard technical information (such as your IP address and browser type) in server logs to deliver the site securely. See Firebase’s privacy information.
Deleting your data
You can delete any item inside the app by swiping it left or tapping the trash icon. Deleting the app removes all of its data from your device. Because we never receive your data, there is nothing for us to delete on our side.
Backups
If you use iCloud Backup or a computer backup, your iPhone’s backup may include the app’s data. Those backups are managed by you and Apple, not by us.
Children
The app is suitable for all ages and does not knowingly collect any personal information from anyone, including children under 13.
Changes to this policy
If we change how the app handles data, for example by adding optional iCloud sync, we will update this page and change the date above before the change is released.
