Short version: Your Agely contact data stays private. Contact names, birthdays, notes, groups, and photos stay on your device or, if you use iCloud sync, in your private iCloud account. Agely does not sell your data, use advertising, or track you across other companies' apps or websites. Limited analytics and crash diagnostics help improve the app, but they are not linked to you and do not include your Agely contact data. You can turn off analytics and diagnostics sharing in Agely Settings.
Information You Add to Agely
Agely lets you save information about people, birthdays, groups, notes, photos, and birthday notification preferences. This information is used to provide the app's core features.
Agely stores this app data on your device. If iCloud sync is available and enabled for the app, Agely syncs this app data through Apple's CloudKit service using your private iCloud account so your Agely data can be available on your devices.
The developer does not receive your contact names, birthdays, notes, photos, phone numbers, email addresses, or other contact details through Agely's analytics or crash reporting pipeline.
Analytics and Diagnostics Agely Collects
Agely collects limited telemetry that is not linked to you to understand product usage, improve reliability, and diagnose issues. This telemetry may include:
- service-provider identifiers needed to operate analytics and crash reporting
- app version, build, environment, operating system version, device type, and device model
- screen and feature usage events, such as which app areas are opened or which workflows succeed or fail
- aggregate counts, booleans, durations, coarse status values, and sanitized error categories
- crash reports, performance diagnostics, and non-fatal diagnostic events
Agely treats this telemetry as not linked to you because the app does not add app-owned user or device identifiers, does not send contact content, and does not connect analytics or crash reports to support requests or iCloud account information. Agely is designed so the App Store data categories Identifiers, Usage Data, and Diagnostics can be listed as Data Not Linked to You.
You can turn off Share Analytics & Diagnostics in Agely Settings. Turning it off stops Agely from sending future analytics events, non-fatal diagnostics, and crash reports from that device. It does not delete telemetry that was already collected before the setting was turned off.
Information Agely Does Not Send in Telemetry
Agely's telemetry pipeline is designed not to collect or transmit:
- contact names, nicknames, relationship labels, phone numbers, email addresses, postal addresses, URLs, or free-form contact values
- birthdays, birth years, ages for specific contacts, or raw notification dates and times
- notes text, search text, filter text, imported address-book contents, or other free-form text you enter
- photos, image bytes, image filenames, crop rectangles, or photo identifiers
- app-owned Diagnostics User IDs, app-owned Diagnostics Device IDs, or other Agely-generated telemetry IDs
- Apple ID, iCloud email address, CloudKit record IDs, IDFA, IDFV, device name, or precise location
Service Providers
Agely uses service providers to operate and improve the app:
- Apple iCloud and CloudKit provide optional sync for your Agely app data through your private iCloud account.
- PostHog processes product analytics, app lifecycle events, screen events, aggregate diagnostic events, retention analysis, funnels, paths, and related diagnostic context that Agely treats as not linked to you.
- Firebase Crashlytics processes crash reports, non-fatal diagnostics, and related crash debugging context.
These providers process data on Agely's behalf or as part of platform services used by Agely. They may create operational identifiers for analytics or crash-report delivery, but Agely does not expose those identifiers in Settings, join them to app content, or use them to identify you in support workflows. Agely does not sell your personal information.
How Agely Uses Information
Agely uses information for these purposes:
- to provide app functionality, including local storage, iCloud sync, birthday calculations, groups, photos, settings, and notifications
- to understand app usage, retention, lifecycle behavior, funnels, paths, and feature health
- to diagnose crashes, performance issues, sync problems, and unexpected errors
- to respond to support and privacy requests using information you choose to provide
- to maintain app security, integrity, and operational reliability
Retention
App data stored on your device remains there until you delete it, delete the app, or change device/iCloud settings that affect storage. If you use iCloud sync, synced app data is also subject to Apple's iCloud and CloudKit behavior for your account.
Agely keeps analytics and diagnostic telemetry only as long as needed for app functionality, analytics, debugging, reliability, security, and operational records, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Crash diagnostic retention may also depend on Firebase Crashlytics' retention practices.
Your Choices
- You can use Agely without signing in to iCloud. In that case, your app data remains local to that install unless another device or system backup copies it.
- You can manage iCloud availability and app data sync through iOS and iCloud settings.
- You can turn off Share Analytics & Diagnostics in Agely Settings to stop future analytics and crash reporting from that device.
- You can delete app data you created inside Agely using the app's controls.
- You can make privacy requests about information Agely can reasonably locate. Because Agely does not link telemetry to app-owned user identifiers, it may not be possible to locate analytics or diagnostics for one person.
Access, Deletion, and Correction Requests
To make a privacy request, email privacy@agely.app. If your request relates to a crash, bug, or diagnostic event, include the app version, iOS version, device model, approximate date and time, and a short description when you can.
Do not send contact names, birthdays, photos, notes, Apple ID, iCloud email address, or other app content unless it is necessary for your request. Agely does not provide Diagnostics IDs in Settings because telemetry is not linked to an app-owned user or device identifier.
Children
Agely is a general-audience app and is not directed to children under 13. A user may choose to save a child's name, birthday, notes, or photo; that app data stays on the user's device or, if enabled, in the user's private iCloud account as described above. Agely's analytics and diagnostics are not linked to a person and are designed not to include app contact data. If a child contacts Agely directly for support or privacy help, Agely receives the information included in that message. A parent or guardian with a question about a child's information can contact privacy@agely.app.
Changes to This Policy
Agely may update this policy as the app, telemetry, sync behavior, service providers, or legal requirements change. The updated policy will be posted at this URL with a new "Last updated" date.
