# Privacy Policy (iOS) **Last updated:** May 24, 2026 SELECT (the "App") respects user privacy. This policy explains what information the iOS version of the App collects and how it is used. --- ## 1. Information We Collect The following information is stored **only on your device** and is never sent to any server owned by the App developer. - Apps registered to each tab (display name, bundle ID, icon URL, custom URL scheme) - Custom item settings (label, icon, shortcut URL, website URL) - Display preferences (tab icon/text style, widget colour, Enjoy-tab visibility) - Sort order of categories and modes - Language preference - Pro purchase status - Whether the SELECT Widgets shortcut has been installed Data is persisted in iOS **SwiftData** (local storage) and the **App Group** container (`group.com.artemis.select.ios`). The App Group is used so the main app and the widget extension can share the same data. --- ## 2. App Search (iTunes Search API) When you tap "Add Item" to register an app, the App calls Apple's public **iTunes Search API** (`https://itunes.apple.com/search`). - Sent: **only the search query you typed** (e.g. "PayPay") - Received: app name, bundle ID, icon URL, App Store URL, etc. - The query is never stored on the App developer's servers (the App has no servers of its own) - Apple's logging of the API call is governed by Apple's own privacy policy Apps you register are saved into the local SwiftData store and rendered on your widgets. --- ## 3. App Icon Cache When you register an app, its icon is downloaded from Apple's CDN and cached inside the App Group container. - Source: Apple CDN endpoints (e.g. `is1-ssl.mzstatic.com`) - Stored at: `Icons/{bundleId}.png` inside the App Group container - Purpose: instant widget rendering without a network round-trip - Shared with third parties: never --- ## 4. iCloud Sync Your data is stored in your own CloudKit Private Database (a private area under your Apple ID). This applies to all users regardless of Pro status. Neither the developer nor any third party can access your CloudKit data. --- ## 5. Widget Launch Tapping a tile in the widget hands the target app's bundle identifier to iOS LaunchServices to launch the app. No network traffic is generated, and no information other than the target bundle identifier leaves the device. Optionally, an integration named "SELECT Widgets" lets you launch user-authored Shortcuts. The default launch path is unaffected by whether you install it. --- ## 6. Network Activity The App makes the following limited network requests only. - `https://itunes.apple.com/search`: app metadata lookup (only while you are using "Add Item") - Apple CDN: app icon image downloads - Apple CloudKit: iCloud sync (only when enabled, Pro only) - Apple StoreKit: Pro purchase processing What we do **not** do: - No requests to any server owned by the App developer (we have no servers of our own) - No analytics SDKs (no Firebase Analytics, Crashlytics, Sentry, etc.) - No advertising networks - No third-party SDKs other than Apple frameworks (StoreKit / CloudKit / WidgetKit / Shortcuts) --- ## 7. Disclosure to Third Parties The App does not share collected information with third parties. Network requests to Apple (iTunes Search API, CloudKit, StoreKit) are governed by Apple's own privacy policy. --- ## 8. Children's Personal Information The App does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. --- ## 9. Permissions and Capabilities The App uses the following iOS capabilities. - `LSApplicationQueriesSchemes`: A list of URL schemes used for `canOpenURL` checks on-device (no network traffic involved) - `App Group` (`group.com.artemis.select.ios`): Shared data store between the main app and the widget extension - `WidgetKit`: Renders home-screen widgets - `AppIntents`: Defines button actions inside widgets - `CloudKit`: iCloud sync (only when enabled, Pro only) - `StoreKit`: In-app purchase processing The App **never requests** the following permissions: - Camera, microphone, location, contacts, photos, Bluetooth, local network, notifications --- ## 10. In-App Purchases Pro purchases go through Apple's **App Store / StoreKit**. - Seller of record: Apple Inc. - Payment method: as registered to your Apple ID - The App only verifies the resulting receipt and never has access to your card details - Receipts and support requests are handled by the App Store --- ## 11. Deleting Your Data You can reset all settings to their defaults from inside the Settings screen. For a full uninstall, use **iOS Settings → General → iPhone Storage → SELECT → Delete App**. If iCloud sync is enabled, you can additionally remove the cloud copy from **Settings → [Your Name] → iCloud → Manage Storage → SELECT → Delete Data**. --- ## 12. Changes to This Policy This policy may be updated without prior notice. Significant changes will be announced in-app or on the store listing. --- ## 13. Contact For questions about this policy, please use the developer contact details listed on the App Store. --- 日本語版: [プライバシーポリシー (iOS版)](./Select-PRIVACY_POLICY-ios)
