Bitbook Get the app

Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 14, 2026

Your material stays on your devices and in your own iCloud, and I never see it. The rest of this page is the detail behind that sentence.

The short version

Where your data lives

Bitbook keeps what you create in a database on your device: bits, set lists, labels, shows, recordings, venues, notes, transcripts, and laugh analyses. With iCloud on, it syncs through your own iCloud account, and backups go to your iCloud Drive. Apple encrypts it in transit and at rest, and I have no access to any of it.

What leaves your device

Only these, and each one is your choice:

  1. iCloud sync to your own Apple Account.
  2. Your calendar, if you turn on Sync with Calendar. Each upcoming show goes into a Bitbook calendar with its venue, time, and notes, in the account that holds your other calendars, and syncs wherever that account does.
  3. What you share. Anything you send through the share sheet or the Messages extension goes where you send it. Material you share with people you invite, for feedback or as a pitch, can be seen only by them.
  4. Apple’s services, when a feature uses one: Maps when you search for a venue and Siri when you talk to it. Those run under Apple’s privacy policy, not through me.
  5. Apple’s crash and performance reports, if you have turned on Share With App Developers in Settings. Apple shares them with me in aggregate, and they describe how the app behaved, never what you wrote.
  6. A diagnostic report, if you attach one to a bug report. It describes your device, your settings, and the app’s recent activity, and you can read it before you send it.

The app asks for the microphone, camera, location, calendar, and the rest only for the feature in front of you, says why when it asks, and collects none of it. Bitbook has no analytics service, no advertising network, and no third-party SDK that collects data.

Deleting your data

Delete anything from inside the app, where it sits in Recently Deleted for 30 days first, or everything at once with Delete All Data in Settings, which clears your iCloud copy too if sync is on. Deleting the app removes everything on that device, and iCloud data can also be removed from your iCloud settings. I hold none of it, so there is nothing for me to retain or delete on your behalf. Where Apple stores your iCloud data, including any transfer between countries, is up to Apple under your iCloud account.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, laws such as the GDPR, the UK GDPR, and the CCPA give you rights over your personal information: access, correction, deletion, portability, and objection. For the little this page describes, the data controller is me, Sammy Gutiérrez, an individual developer. Your material is on your device and in your iCloud, so there is almost nothing for those rights to reach, and it is never sold, shared, or used for advertising or profiling. The only personal information I ever hold is an email you send me. To ask about any of it, email sammy@bitbook.lol. In the European Union or the United Kingdom you can also complain to your local data protection authority.

Children, this website, and changes

Bitbook does not knowingly collect information from children under 13, and the app contains no age-restricted content. This website sets no cookies and runs no analytics. If this policy changes, the new version will be posted here with a new “Last updated” date. Since Bitbook doesn’t collect your email or any contact information, there is no way to notify you directly, so check back from time to time.
