Unfold Counter (“the app”) is an iOS app made by Alex Barrera (“I”, “me”). It counts how often you open and close your iPhone Duo and shows you statistics and widgets about it.

None. I do not collect any personal information or usage data. Specifically, the app:

• has no accounts, sign-in or registration;
• contains no analytics, advertising, tracking or crash-reporting tools from me or from third parties;
• does not send any information to me or to any server that I run;
• does not use your location, contacts, photos, microphone or camera.

To work, the app keeps a log of timestamps of when your phone was opened and closed. This log is saved only on your iPhone, in storage shared between the app and its widgets. It is never transmitted anywhere by the app. The app also stores your settings, such as your theme, layout and starting count.

The hinge-angle tile reads the angle of your phone's hinge from the device while the app is open. The reading is shown on screen and is not saved or sent anywhere.

You can erase the data on your iPhone at any time by deleting the app.

The app can back up your log of open and close timestamps to your own private iCloud (CloudKit) database, using the Apple Account that is signed in on your iPhone. The backup lets your history come back if you delete and reinstall the app or move to a new iPhone. It is turned on by default and you can turn it off at any time under Settings › iCloud backup.

This backup lives in your iCloud account and is protected by Apple. It is not accessible to me or to anyone else, and I do not receive a copy. If iCloud is unavailable or your storage is full, the app keeps working and backs up later.

On a new iPhone, the app asks once whether to restore your history or start fresh. Starting fresh permanently deletes the backup in your iCloud and clears the history on the phone. Turning the backup off stops new backups; a copy already stored in your iCloud stays there until you remove it. To remove it, open the iPhone Settings app, tap your name, then iCloud, then Manage Account Storage, find Unfold Counter, and delete its data.

The app relies on automations that you create in Apple's Shortcuts app. Those automations run on your device and tell Unfold Counter when your phone opens or closes. Shortcuts is a product of Apple and is covered by Apple's own privacy policy. If you import the shortcuts through an iCloud link, Apple handles that download.

If you installed the app through TestFlight or the App Store, Apple may collect information about your installation and, if you have agreed to it in your iOS settings, crash reports or diagnostics that it can share with developers. I don't control this, and the app does not add to it. Your device backups, such as iCloud Backup, may also include the app's data under your own Apple settings. If you use the app's iCloud backup, Apple's iCloud terms and privacy policy apply to that backup.

The app is not directed at children, and it does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children.

If the app ever changes in a way that affects your privacy, I will update this page and the “Last updated” date before the change reaches you. The app will never start collecting data without you being clearly told first.
