Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 6, 2026
Introduction
Welcome to Fold ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you have a positive experience when using our application. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application and related services.
Information We Collect
Information You Provide
- Account Information: When you create an account, we collect your email address and password.
- Profile Data: Optional information like your name and profile picture.
- User Content: Tasks, habits, events, journal entries, and other content you create within the app.
- Preferences: Your app settings, notification preferences, and customization choices.
Information Collected Automatically
- Device Information: Device type, operating system, unique device identifiers.
- Crash reports: if the app fails, we receive the error and the signed-in account id, nothing else. We do not run analytics: we do not record which features you use, how long you spend in the app, or what you write.
- Log Data: IP address, browser type, access times, and referring URLs.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide, maintain, and improve our services
- Sync your data across devices
- Send you notifications and reminders you've requested
- Respond to your comments, questions, and support requests
- Analyze usage patterns to enhance user experience
- Detect, prevent, and address technical issues
- Comply with legal obligations
Data Storage & Security
Your data is encrypted in transit (TLS) between the app and our servers. We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
Local-First Approach
Fold stores your data on your device first, and the device copy is the one it trusts. Cloud sync is optional. When it is on, your data travels over an encrypted connection (TLS) and is stored on servers we operate. It is not end-to-end encrypted. We hold the keys, so in principle we can read what you store. We do not, except where it is necessary to run or repair the service.
Data Sharing
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share your information only in the following circumstances:
- Service providers. We use a small, named set:
- Firebase Authentication (Google): sign-in only, with Google, Apple or email and password. It sees your email address and account id, never your content.
- Our own servers: infrastructure we operate ourselves, reached through our API. This is where synced content lives.
- Sentry: crash reports, errors only, with your account id attached.
- Apple and Google Play: they process payments and we verify the receipt. We never see your card.
- Legal Requirements: When required by law or to protect our rights.
- Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
- With Your Consent: When you explicitly authorize us to share information.
Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Access: Request a copy of your personal data.
- Correction: Update or correct inaccurate information.
- Deletion: Request deletion of your account and associated data.
- Export: Download your data in a portable format.
- Opt-out: Unsubscribe from marketing communications.

Children's Privacy
Fold is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have collected information from a child under 13, please contact us immediately.
Third-Party Services
Our app may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties. We encourage you to read their privacy policies.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
