Privacy Policy

Quote Widget

Effective: October 9, 2026 / Last updated: October 13, 2026

Quote Widget (the “App”), a quotes app, respects your privacy and handles information as described below.

1. Information handled by the App

Information you enter or configure

Favorites, words you add yourself (including who said them and their source), tags, widget designs, text size, and other settings are stored on your device (and, if you turn on the Premium automatic backup, in your own iCloud as described below), in an on-device storage area (App Group) that only the App and its widgets can read. This information is never transmitted to the developer's servers or to any third party.

Automatic iCloud backup

When the Premium “Back Up to iCloud Automatically” setting is on, your own words, tags, favorites, and your designs are saved automatically to a storage area reserved for the App in your own iCloud (Apple) account. This data is managed by Apple's iCloud, is not transmitted to the developer's servers, and cannot be accessed by the developer. You can turn this feature off at any time in the App's settings. Restoring from a backup is available on the free plan too.

Saving to Photos

Only when you choose “Save to Photos” while sharing a quote as an image does the App ask for permission to add that image to the Photos app. The App never reads, modifies, or deletes photos in your photo library.

Sharing

Sharing uses the iOS share sheet. You choose what to share and where; the App does not send the shared content to the developer.

When you choose the App from another app's share sheet, you can add the text, web page URL, or page title you received as one of your own words (the URL goes into the source). What you receive is saved to on-device storage (App Group) only when you tap “Save,” and is never transmitted to the developer's servers or to any third party.

Links to external websites

Tapping “Open Source” on a quote's detail screen opens the external website that hosts the source, such as Aozora Bunko, Kotobank, Project Gutenberg, or Wikisource. Those websites handle information according to their own privacy policies. The App does not send your information to them.

Purchase information

Premium (a one-time purchase) and “Support the Developer” (tips that do not unlock any features) are processed through Apple's StoreKit. Apple manages payment information, and the developer does not receive payment card details. To provide purchased features, the App checks your purchase status and records the result (whether Premium has been purchased) in on-device storage that the widgets can read. The App records nothing about tips.

Network, analytics, and ads

The App does not communicate with the developer's servers. It does not use analytics, crash reporting, ads, or tracking. The App communicates with Apple's services only when you make a purchase (including tips) or restore a purchase, and when it backs up to or restores from iCloud.

2. Storage and deletion

Favorites, your words, tags, designs, and settings are stored on your device, and you can change or delete them in the App at any time. Depending on your device settings, this data may be included in an operating-system backup. Deleting the App deletes the information it stored on the device, except for information that may remain in an OS backup. Backups saved automatically to iCloud are not deleted when you delete the App; you can delete them from iCloud storage management in the iOS Settings app.

3. Disclosure to third parties

Because the developer does not collect your information, there is nothing to sell or disclose to third parties. Apple's services are used for payment processing and iCloud backup as described above.

4. Children's privacy

The App does not collect personal information from anyone, including children.

5. Security

The App keeps information in its own on-device storage area and relies on operating-system permission controls to protect it.

6. Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated to reflect changes to the App, third-party services, or applicable laws. Material changes will be announced on this page or within the App.

7. Contact

For questions about this Policy or the App's handling of information, contact atsushi.ito6@gmail.com. You can also use the feedback form (open it from “Send Feedback” in the App’s settings). What you write in the form is delivered to the developer through Google’s services.
