Privacy Policy

Rolldrift is built so that this policy can be short. We do not collect any data about you or your photos. Everything happens on your iPhone. This page exists so the contract is explicit.

What the app collects

Nothing. The privacy label in the App Store reads “Data Not Collected”. That is accurate.

• No name, email or other contact information.
• No analytics, no crash reporters that phone home, no advertising identifiers, no tracking SDK.
• No account and no server.

Your photo library

Rolldrift asks for access to your photo library to show it as a feed. It reads your photos and videos on the device and never uploads them. It writes to your library only when you ask it to: a heart marks the photo as a Favorite in Apple Photos, and saving to an album adds it to a real Apple Photos album. Rolldrift never deletes photos or videos. If you use iCloud Photos, Apple's own service downloads originals as you scroll; that is between your iPhone and Apple.

Details (⋯ › Details) shows what is already stored with a photo or video: when and where it was taken, the camera and its settings, and the file's size and format. It is read on the iPhone and changes nothing. When a photo's original is only in iCloud, the camera and file details are read only after you tap “Load full details”, which downloads that original from Apple. The map and the place name follow “Show place names” below.

Notes and settings

Notes you write, the posts you hide from the feed, your place in the feed and your settings (including the reminder time) are stored on your iPhone and in its backup. Nothing is sent anywhere. You can export all notes from Settings at any time.

On iOS 27, captions you wrote in Apple Photos show as notes in Rolldrift; Rolldrift reads them on the iPhone, like the photos. If you turn on “Also save notes in Apple Photos” in Settings, each note is also written as the photo's caption in your photo library. From there it goes wherever your library goes: with iCloud Photos, to Apple's servers and your other devices, under Apple's privacy policy, as your photos already do. It is off until you turn it on.

Cards

Cards are photos you choose, kept in an Apple Photos album called Cards. Rolldrift adds a photo to that album when you add a card and takes it out when you remove one; the photo itself stays in your library. Card photos are read on the iPhone like any other photo and never uploaded. A card's name, and whether it needs Face ID, are stored on your iPhone and in its backup.

Face ID is asked only to open a card you locked. iOS checks your face or passcode; Rolldrift is told only whether it matched and never sees your face data. So that Siri, Spotlight, the Lock Screen and Control Center can offer your cards, Rolldrift gives iOS the names of your cards, never their photos. The names stay on your iPhone, in the folder only Rolldrift and its widget can open and in the iPhone's own search index. A card that needs Face ID is never in search, and turning off “Card names in Spotlight” in Settings takes them all out. Copy number puts a card's barcode number on the clipboard, only when you tap it.

The widget

iOS does not let a widget read your photo library, so Rolldrift prepares it: it keeps small copies of the photos the widget will show over the next two weeks, and the names of your albums for the widget's settings, in a folder on your iPhone that only Rolldrift and its widget can open. That folder is part of your iPhone's backup like the rest of the app's data. Copies are replaced as the days pass, and all of them are deleted if you take away Rolldrift's access to Photos or delete the app. Nothing in it leaves your iPhone.

The daily reminder

The reminder is off until you turn it on. When it is on, Rolldrift schedules a notification on your iPhone for days that have a memory, with a copy of that day's photo attached so it shows in the notification. It is made and delivered on the device; there is no push server. Depending on your notification settings, it can appear on your Lock Screen. Turn it off in Settings and no more are scheduled.

Microphone and voice notes

Rolldrift uses the microphone only while you hold the record button in a note, to record a voice note of up to a minute. The recording is kept in Rolldrift on your iPhone and in its backup, never sent anywhere, and you can delete it from the note at any time. If you tap “Write it out”, iOS turns the recording into text on the iPhone itself (on-device speech recognition); the sound and the words stay there.

Place names

To show “Lisbon, Portugal” above a photo, Rolldrift asks Apple's geocoding service for the name of the place where the photo was taken, using its coordinates. The request goes to Apple, not to us, carries no identifier, and the answer is kept on the device so each place is looked up once. On a large screen, such as an open iPhone Duo, a small map of the same area is shown beside the feed, and its tiles come from Apple Maps in the same way. Turn off “Show place names” in Settings and no lookup is made and no map is loaded.

Purchases

Rolldrift Pro is bought through Apple. We receive no payment details and no personal information.

This website

The pages you are reading are served by Firebase Hosting and use Google Analytics 4 to count page views, which pages get read and roughly where readers come from. There is no advertising here and no profiles are built.

• Until you accept, nothing is sent to Google. The analytics script is not loaded at all, so no request, cookie or identifier leaves your browser. If you decline, your visit is simply not counted.
• If you accept, Google Analytics sets its own cookies so a returning visit is not counted as a new person. Google processes that data on our behalf.
• Advertising signals stay off permanently, accepted or not.
• You can change your choice at any time.

Children

Rolldrift does not collect data from anyone, including children, and shows no ads.

Changes

If this policy ever changes, the date above changes with it.
