Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 3, 2026
Introduction
This Privacy Policy describes how ScrapBoard (referred to as “ScrapBoard”, “the App”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, discloses, and protects information in connection with your use of our iOS mobile application and our website. By downloading, installing, accessing, or using ScrapBoard, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, you must not use the App or the website.
This policy is intended to explain what we do and what we do not do, and to clarify responsibilities between you (the user), us (the publisher), and third parties (for example, Google/Firebase, Apple, or your device and backup providers). Nothing in this policy is legal advice. If you require advice about your specific situation, consult a qualified professional.
Scope of This Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to:
- The ScrapBoard iOS application distributed through the Apple App Store; and
- The ScrapBoard website or landing page used to describe or promote the App.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to:
- Third-party websites or services you access via links from our website or the App;
- Apple’s own services (including the App Store, iCloud, and system frameworks);
- Google/Firebase’s independent processing of analytics or crash data (governed by their own terms and policies); or
- Any other product or service you use together with the App.
Summary of What the App Does
ScrapBoard is a creativity and productivity app that lets you build customizable boards with notes, photos, text, countdowns, calendars, dates, stickers, emojis, and similar elements, and to display board content on your device—including, where supported, via home screen widgets that may update on a schedule determined by iOS and system constraints.
The App is designed so that your board content is handled primarily on your device and, where you enable it, through your personal Apple account services (such as iCloud) under Apple’s control. We do not operate ScrapBoard as a hosted cloud service for your board data on our own servers.
Information We Do Not Intend to Collect
In particular:
- We do not intend to collect the substance of your boards (for example, the text of your notes, your images, or your calendar entries) on servers we operate for the purpose of providing a cloud board product.
- We do not operate a backend whose purpose is to ingest, store, or review your private board content.
You should understand that no software can guarantee that no data is ever processed, cached, backed up, logged, or transmitted by the operating system, Apple, networks, analytics SDKs, or other third-party components. See the sections below on analytics, security, limitations, and liability.
We do not collect or process facial recognition data, face geometry, or other biometric identifiers for the purpose of identifying individuals. Any biometric authentication on your device (such as Face ID or Touch ID) is provided by Apple under Apple’s policies.
Information We May Collect Automatically
Like most mobile apps, we may automatically collect certain technical and usage information to operate and improve the App, such as:
- App usage information (for example, which screens or flows are used, whether onboarding was completed, or feature engagement in aggregate);
- Device and app information (for example, device model, iOS version, language, region, and app version);
- Identifiers or tokens generated by the operating system or by our analytics or crash-reporting providers; and
- Crash, diagnostic, or performance data to identify bugs and stability issues.
Analytics (Firebase / Google)
We may use Google Firebase Analytics (or similar Google analytics products) to collect aggregated and pseudonymous usage data to understand how the App performs and how users navigate the App.
Firebase may process on our behalf, among other things:
- Events such as app open, screen or flow views, and feature usage;
- Device and app metadata such as model, OS version, app version, locale, and sometimes IP-derived region; and
- Pseudonymous identifiers to distinguish one installation from another.
We do not use Firebase to run targeted advertising across unrelated apps, to sell personal information as “sale” is commonly understood under U.S. state privacy laws, or to build marketing lists from your board content.
Important: Google/Firebase is an independent provider. They process data under their own terms, policies, and infrastructure. We do not control their security practices or operations. By using the App, you acknowledge that certain technical data may be processed by Google as described in their documentation and policies.
Your Boards, Photos, Widgets, and Backups
On-device and Apple services
Your boards and related content are created and displayed in an environment controlled by your device and, where applicable, Apple’s services (for example, local storage and iCloud sync, if you use those features). The security and configuration of those environments are largely outside our control.
Widgets and refresh behavior
Home screen widgets are subject to iOS scheduling, battery optimization, and system policies. We do not guarantee any particular refresh rate, timeliness, or visual parity between the in-app board and a widget at all times.
Your responsibility
If your device is lost, stolen, unlocked by others, jailbroken, synced to an insecure computer, or backed up to a service with weak credentials, your content could be exposed. We are not responsible for that exposure.
Information You Provide Voluntarily
If you contact us for support at support@scrapboard.app, we will receive your email address and any information you choose to include. We use that information to respond, to maintain continuity of support, and for our legitimate business interests (for example, recordkeeping or misuse investigation). We do not sell support correspondence. We may retain it for as long as reasonably necessary unless applicable law requires otherwise or you ask us to delete it subject to legal retention obligations.
Legal Bases (EU/EEA/UK)
If you are in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we rely on the following legal bases where applicable:
- Legitimate interests—to operate, secure, maintain, and improve the App and website, including through analytics and crash reporting, balanced against your rights;
- Consent—where required for specific permissions or tracking (for example, as presented by Apple’s permission prompts or App Tracking Transparency, if applicable); and
- Performance of a contract—to provide the features you request when that processing is necessary to deliver the App.
Because we may not operate traditional user accounts in the App, we may be unable to isolate your personal data in third-party analytics systems for individual erasure. You may contact us with requests described below and we will respond consistent with applicable law.
CCPA/CPRA (California)
We do not sell personal information as defined under the California Consumer Privacy Act (as amended). California residents may have additional rights under applicable law (for example, to know, delete, or opt out of certain sharing). Contact us at support@scrapboard.app to exercise rights where applicable. We may verify your request as permitted by law.
Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures in connection with our own systems and practices. However:
- No mobile app, device, operating system, or network is completely secure;
- We cannot guarantee absolute security of information processed on your device or by third parties;
- We cannot control iCloud, backups, Wi‑Fi networks, or your own device passcodes and sharing habits.
You are responsible for securing your device and accounts.
Your Responsibilities
You agree that:
- You are responsible for the content you place on your boards and for complying with applicable laws and third-party rights;
- You will keep your device and software reasonably updated and secured;
- You will not hold us responsible for disclosure of your content caused by your own actions (for example, showing your screen to others, screen recording, or weak passcodes); and
- You understand that deletion or modification of content may be irreversible or subject to Apple’s sync and backup behavior.
When We May Disclose Information
We may disclose information:
- To service providers who assist us in operating the App or website (for example, analytics or hosting), subject to appropriate obligations;
- To comply with law, regulation, legal process, or governmental requests;
- To protect the rights, property, or safety of us, our users, or the public; and
- To investigate, establish, or defend legal claims or potential misuse of the App.
We do not intend to disclose the content of your boards from our systems because we do not operate a ScrapBoard cloud repository of your boards; however, providers such as Apple or Google may process technical data as described elsewhere in this policy.
Data Retention
Analytics and crash data: retained according to our providers’ defaults and our configuration. Support emails: retained as needed for support, recordkeeping, and legitimate interests unless deletion is required or requested consistent with law. Board content: not stored by us on our own servers as part of a ScrapBoard cloud product as described in this policy.
International Transfers
Because we use providers such as Google/Firebase, data may be processed in countries other than your own, including the United States. By using the App or website, you acknowledge that such transfers may occur where permitted by law.
Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:
- The App and website are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory;
- We do not warrant uninterrupted, error-free, or secure operation, or that widgets will update on any particular schedule;
- We are not responsible for unauthorized access to your device, Apple account, backups, or networks, or for acts or omissions of Apple, Google, Firebase, carriers, or other third parties;
- We will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages, or for loss of profits, data, goodwill, or reputation, even if advised of the possibility;
- Your sole and exclusive remedy if you are dissatisfied with the App, this Privacy Policy, or our handling of data is to stop using the App and delete it from your device, and to stop using the website.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those cases, our limitations apply to the fullest extent allowed. Nothing in this Privacy Policy is intended to exclude or limit any liability or right that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.
Third-Party Services Disclaimer
We rely on Apple and may rely on Google/Firebase and other vendors. We do not control those companies. Breaches, outages, policy changes, or incidents affecting them are outside our responsibility except as required by applicable law.
User Rights and Requests
You may contact support@scrapboard.app to ask what information we hold (often limited to support correspondence), to request deletion of support emails where feasible, or to ask questions about analytics. We will respond consistent with applicable law. We may need to verify your identity.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may revise this Privacy Policy at any time and for any reason, including to reflect changes to the App, our practices, third-party services, or legal requirements. When we update it, we will revise the “Last updated” date above. We may also provide additional notice where required by law (for example, in-app or by email), but you should review this policy periodically.
Your continued use of the App or website after the effective date of an update constitutes your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you must immediately stop using the App and the website and, if applicable, delete the App. If any change is deemed invalid or unenforceable in your jurisdiction, the remainder of this policy remains in effect to the maximum extent permitted by law.
