YOUR PERSONAL SPACE

Privacy policy.

Effective October 27, 2026

Stuff helps you save and organize notes, links, photos, documents, recordings, and other content. This policy explains how the app handles that information.

Your library and preferences

Stuff stores your saved content and its related information on your device. A local display name and preferences, such as appearance and preferred map and music apps, are stored on that device. Stuff does not require a separate account.

Stuff does not send your library to a developer-operated server. The app does not include advertising or cross-app tracking, and does not sell your personal information. Subscription analytics are described below.

iCloud sync and shared boxes

When iCloud is available, Stuff uses Apple's CloudKit service to synchronize your library, including attachments, with your other devices using the same iCloud account. Apple processes this information under its own privacy policy and iCloud terms.

When you share a box, its content and attachments are uploaded to CloudKit and made available to the people you invite according to the sharing permissions. Participants may retain copies they have saved. Stopping sharing removes access through that share; it cannot erase copies another person has already retained.

Stuff Pro subscriptions

Stuff uses Apple and RevenueCat to process purchases, restore subscriptions, and check access to Stuff Pro. RevenueCat processes purchase history, subscription status, and an anonymous app user identifier, along with technical information needed to provide the service. Purchase information is also used for subscription analytics. Stuff does not send your saved items, box names, local profile name, or library contents to RevenueCat. Apple handles payment details; Stuff does not receive your payment card information.

You can restore purchases or manage your subscription from Settings in Stuff. Canceling a subscription does not delete your boxes or saved items. Purchase records may be retained by Apple and RevenueCat under their respective policies. See RevenueCat’s privacy policy and Apple’s privacy policy.

Permissions and processing on your device

• Camera: Used when you choose to scan documents.
• Photos: Used to import selected photos, save photos, or find and delete originals when you request it. Deleting originals requires your approval.
• Microphone and speech recognition: Used to record voice notes and create searchable transcripts. Transcription requires on-device recognition and does not fall back to server-based speech recognition. If it is unavailable, the recording can still be saved without a transcript.
• Device authentication: Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode can protect boxes. The operating system handles authentication. Stuff does not receive or store your biometric templates or face data.
• Notifications: Used, with permission, to notify you about delivery updates for items you track.

Text reading from images and documents runs on your device. Item recognition uses Apple Intelligence, with Private Cloud Compute when available and on-device processing as a fallback. Optional enrichment contacts catalog providers, Wikipedia, publisher websites and image hosts to retrieve reference information and artwork. These services receive normal network information, such as the requester’s IP address. Stuff does not use an external AI provider or a search API for photo recognition.

Websites, previews, and external services

Saving or opening a link may contact the linked website or its services to retrieve titles, images, maps, article information, media previews, or tracking updates. Embedded video and other online content may also contact the service that hosts it. These services receive normal network information, such as your IP address and the requested URL, and may apply their own cookies and privacy policies.

Opening content in another app or website is governed by that app or website's privacy practices. Stuff cannot control those services.

Widgets, search, and app extensions

Stuff shares selected content between its app, widgets, and save extensions using storage on your device. It provides searchable information to Apple's Spotlight and App Intents features. Content in protected boxes is excluded from widget snapshots and system search indexing. Box names and protection status may be available to the app's widgets and extensions.

Retention and deletion

Your library remains saved until you delete it. Moving an item to Trash keeps it available for restoration. Permanently deleting it removes it from the app's library, with changes synchronized through iCloud when available. Sync may take time. Device or iCloud backups and copies retained by sharing participants may persist under their respective settings and policies.

You can change permissions in the system Settings app. Your device's iCloud settings provide controls for iCloud storage. Deleting Stuff does not necessarily delete its iCloud data, backups, or other people's copies.
