Privacy Policy
Dating Recap · Effective October 29, 2026
Everything you put in Dating Recap stays on your iPhone. There are no accounts, no servers, no ads, and no tracking. We never see your data.
Who we are
Dating Recap is an iPhone app made by Jacoby Larson ("we", "us"). This policy explains what the app does with the information you enter.
What you enter, and where it lives
You can record things like:
- A first name or nickname, and an optional emoji, for people you meet. The app is designed not to ask for last names, photos, contacts or social media handles.
- Your "reps" (talking to someone, asking someone out, being asked out, group events) and how asks went.
- Dates you log or plan: when, where, the type of date, what you spent, ratings, tags and notes.
- Optional reflections, such as how you felt, what you learned, and signals you noticed.
- Your weekly goals and app settings.
All of this is stored only in the app's private storage on your device. Dating Recap does not send it to us or to anyone else. The app has no sign-in, makes no network requests with your data, and contains no third-party analytics, advertising or tracking code.
Information we collect
None. We do not collect, store, sell or share any personal information. We cannot see what you log in the app.
Device features the app uses
- Face ID / passcode (optional). If you turn on App Lock, iOS checks your face or passcode. Dating Recap only learns whether the check succeeded; it never receives biometric data.
- Notifications (optional). Reminders are scheduled on your device. By default they do not show nicknames on your lock screen; you can change this in Settings.
- Photos (add only, optional). If you save a recap card, the app asks permission to add that image to your photo library. It cannot read your existing photos.
Sharing and exports
Nothing leaves the app unless you choose to send it:
- Recap cards you share show aggregate stats only. They never include names, initials or notes.
- Data export creates a JSON file of everything you've entered. You decide where it goes (Files, AirDrop, email and so on). Once you send it somewhere, that place's own privacy terms apply.
Backups
If you use iCloud Backup or back up your iPhone to a computer, Apple's backup may include the app's data, like any other app. This is handled by Apple under Apple's privacy policy, not by us.
Deleting your data
You're in control. Go to Settings → Delete all data in the app, or simply delete the app. Either removes your data from the device. Because we never had a copy, there is nothing for us to delete on our side.
Children
Dating Recap is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone, of any age.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, we'll update this page and the effective date above. If a future version ever collects data, we'll say so here and in the app before it happens.
