Privacy Policy

Effective August 17, 2026

Spooly does not collect your data. The app has no accounts, no analytics, and no servers operated by us.

Your photo library

Your photo library is read on your device and never copied or uploaded by Spooly. Spooly references the system photo library through Apple's PhotoKit and stores only its own metadata — dates, places, its notes about your timeline — locally on your device. All analysis of your photos happens on your device.

iCloud sync

Your timeline syncs between your devices through your own private iCloud database, inside your Apple account. Spooly cannot access it. Library photos never ride the sync — only Spooly's own metadata and content you create inside the app (notes, voice memos, in-app captures), stored in your private database as your own backup.

Shared timelines

If you publish a moment to a shared timeline, a copy of that moment (photos and compressed video) is stored in an iCloud shared area visible only to the people you invited. Sharing is your explicit, per-moment choice. Spooly cannot access shared timelines either — they live in Apple's infrastructure, under your Apple account and your invitees'.

Link previews

When you add a link to your timeline, its preview (title, poster image) is fetched directly from the source — for example, YouTube — the way a web browser would. Spooly adds no information about you to those requests.
