Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2026

The Short Version

Get Back to This collects no data whatsoever. We have no servers, no analytics, no tracking, and no way to see what you save or how you use the app. Everything stays on your device.

About Get Back to This

Get Back to This is a link reminder application for iOS developed and maintained independently in London, United Kingdom. The app allows you to save URLs and set persistent reminders to revisit them later.

Data Collection

Get Back to This does not collect, transmit, store, or process any personal data or usage information. Specifically:

  • We do not collect personal information (name, email, phone number, etc.)
  • We do not collect usage analytics or behavioural data
  • We do not track your location
  • We do not collect device identifiers or fingerprints
  • We do not use cookies or tracking pixels
  • We do not collect the URLs you save or any content you interact with
  • We do not collect crash reports or diagnostic data

Data Storage

All data you create within Get Back to This (saved links, categories, reminder settings, and preferences) is stored exclusively on your device using Apple's SwiftData framework. This data never leaves your device and is not accessible to us or any third party.

If you delete the app, all associated data is permanently removed from your device.

No Server or Backend

Get Back to This has no server, no backend, no cloud infrastructure, and no database. There is no remote system for us to store or retrieve your data from. The app functions entirely offline and on-device.

Notifications

Get Back to This uses local notifications only. These are scheduled and delivered entirely by iOS on your device. They are not push notifications sent from a remote server. No notification content is transmitted to us or any third party.

You can manage or disable notifications at any time through your device's Settings app.

Share Extension and App Group

Get Back to This includes an iOS Share Extension that allows you to save links from other apps. The Share Extension communicates with the main app using an App Group, which is an Apple-provided mechanism for sharing data between an app and its extensions on the same device.

This communication happens entirely on your device. No data is sent externally. The App Group is used solely to pass the URL and associated metadata from the Share Extension to the main app's local storage.

Third-Party SDKs and Services

Get Back to This uses no third-party SDKs, frameworks, or services for:

  • Analytics (no Google Analytics, Mixpanel, Amplitude, etc.)
  • Advertising (no ad networks, no ad tracking)
  • Crash reporting (no Crashlytics, Sentry, Bugsnag, etc.)
  • Attribution or marketing (no AppsFlyer, Branch, Adjust, etc.)
  • Social login or authentication (no Firebase Auth, Auth0, etc.)
  • Cloud storage or sync (no iCloud sync, no Firebase, no AWS)

The app is built using only Apple's native frameworks (SwiftUI, SwiftData, UserNotifications).

Account Creation

Get Back to This does not require or offer account creation. There is no login, no sign-up, no email registration, and no user authentication of any kind. You download the app and use it immediately.

Children's Privacy

Because Get Back to This collects no data from any user, it inherently complies with children's privacy regulations including COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) and relevant provisions of GDPR. We do not knowingly collect data from children because we do not collect data from anyone.

Data Sharing

Since we collect no data, there is no data to share with third parties. We do not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise disclose any information to any third party because no such information exists in our possession.

Data Security

Your data is protected by your device's built-in security mechanisms, including:

  • Device passcode / Face ID / Touch ID protection
  • iOS app sandboxing (other apps cannot access Get Back to This data)
  • Full-device encryption provided by iOS

Since data never leaves your device, there is no network transmission to intercept and no remote server to breach.

Your Rights

Under GDPR, CCPA, and other privacy regulations, you have various rights regarding your personal data. Because Get Back to This holds no personal data:

  • Right to access: All your data is already visible to you within the app on your device.
  • Right to deletion: Delete the app to permanently remove all data. You can also delete individual items within the app.
  • Right to portability: Your data exists only on your device and is under your complete control.
  • Right to object: There is no data processing to object to.

Changes to This Policy

If we ever change this privacy policy, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Any significant changes (such as introducing data collection) would be communicated through an app update and would require your explicit consent.

Our fundamental commitment is to never collect your data. If that ever changes, you will know about it before it happens.

Summary

To put it as clearly as possible:

  • We have no servers.
  • We have no database.
  • We have no analytics.
  • We cannot see what you save.
  • We cannot see how you use the app.
  • We cannot contact you (we don't have your email).
  • Your data lives on your device and nowhere else.

That's it. That's the policy.
