Privacy Policy

This policy describes the information Pipit may receive from users and how that information is handled.


There are two things we do:

  • We gather crash logs from Pipit users who opt in.

  • We use Framer’s built-in, anonymized website analytics, which we view in aggregate.


In other words, we don’t want any private information. We really, really don’t. It’s of zero use to us and it would be a burden to have to store it securely.


But we do want to do two things:

  1. identify and fix crashing bugs, and

  2. find out how many people are visiting our website and see which pages are more or less popular.


Details on these, and other privacy topics, are below.

App Data


Pipit is designed to work offline-first. Your contacts and interaction notes live on your device.


We use iCloud sync which stores your data in your iCloud account and is synced via Apple’s iCloud/CloudKit. We don’t run our own servers for your Pipit data, and we can’t read your iCloud content. (Apple’s handling of iCloud data is covered by Apple’s policies.)

Crash Logs


If you opt in to sending crash logs, we will have a copy of your crash logs.

  • On iOS, if you opt in with Apple’s system setting to share analytics/crash data with developers, Apple provides those crash logs to us.

  • If Pipit ever provides an in-app option to send a crash log directly, it will send only the text of the crash log and not extra personal information (such as your email address).

  • If you email us a crash log, you will be sending the crash log file as well as knowingly sending us your email. There are ways to anonymize your email if you feel this is the best route to take.


Crash logs are stored privately and are kept confidential.


However, we may make all or significant parts of a crash log available publicly when there’s no personal identification in that part of the crash log. This is entirely for the purpose of fixing crashing bugs.

Website Analytics


Our website is built with Framer, and we use only Framer’s built-in analytics.

  • The analytics are anonymized.

  • We view them in aggregate (for example: visits per day, which pages are most popular).

  • We do not add our own tracking, profiling, or ad tech on top of this.

Other topics


No Ads, No Data Brokerage

We don’t sell personal data. We don’t buy personal data. We don’t share personal data with advertisers because we don’t have it.


Related sites

If we link to third-party sites (for example: GitHub, TestFlight, or the App Store), those sites may collect data according to their own policies. Using those sites is optional and opt-in.


Content you view inside Pipit

Pipit is for your own notes about your relationships. It doesn’t load third-party feeds or web content as part of its core functionality.


Questions or comments

If you have questions or comments about this privacy policy, contact us via email.


This policy has been shamelessly taken from Brent Simmons NetNewsWire's Privacy Policy and updated to reflect how Pipit operates. We may update this policy over time.
