Privacy policy

The short version

Your people stay on your device and, if you use iCloud sync, in your own iCloud, which only you can read. We never see them, and we never sell or share anything. The only thing Forgetze sends is optional, anonymous feature counts, which you can turn off. The website counts visits anonymously, too.

What Forgetze stores

Only what you type: names, birthdays, notes, family details, addresses, and social links for the people you add. It's saved on your device and, when iCloud sync is on, in your own iCloud account, which only you can read. Forgetze never sees it.

Anonymous usage counts

To learn which features get used, Forgetze sends anonymous counts (for example, "a person was added" or "search was used") to PostHog, an analytics service. These counts are never tied to your name or identity, never include your people, notes, or what you search for, and use a random ID that isn't linked to you. You can turn this off at any time in Settings under Privacy.

This website

When you open a page on forgetze.com, we count the visit with PostHog. The count includes only the page and the site that sent you here. The website sets no cookies, saves nothing on your device, and doesn't record your internet address or location. We can't tell who visited.

The contact form

If you write to us through the form on forgetze.com, your email address, your name if you give one, and your message are emailed to us so we can answer you. We use them only to reply, and we don't add them to any list or share them.

What Forgetze doesn't do

• No tracking, profiling, or advertising
• No accounts — there is nothing to sign up for
• No third-party SDK ever sees your people, notes, or searches

Voice search

When you use the microphone to search, your audio is processed by Apple's speech recognition to turn it into text. Forgetze doesn't store or transmit your audio. Microphone and speech permissions are requested only when you first tap the mic, and you can revoke them anytime in iOS Settings.

Apple Contacts import

If you choose Import, Forgetze reads your Apple Contacts once — on your device — to copy names, birthdays, addresses, and links into your library. Nothing is uploaded, and access happens only when you tap Import.

Purchases

The optional "Unlimited people" upgrade is a one-time purchase handled entirely by Apple through the App Store. Forgetze never sees your payment details.

Your control

Edit or delete any person or detail at any time. Turn iCloud sync off any time in Settings. You can create a local backup of your library and restore from it whenever you need to. Deleting the app deletes all of its data on that device.
