Palimpsest — Privacy

Palimpsest collects nothing. Not because we choose not to look, but because there is nowhere for anything to go: the app makes no network requests at all.

What is collected

Nothing. There is no account, no sign-in, no analytics, no crash reporting, no advertising identifier and no third-party SDK of any kind.

What permissions are requested

None. Palimpsest asks for no camera, no photo library, no location, no motion and no health access. Its Info.plist contains no usage-description strings at all, and a build gate fails the build if one is ever added — because adding one would mean this page had become untrue.

What is stored on your device

One setting: whether the time slider uses equal steps or proportional spacing. It is stored on the device and is never transmitted, because there is no transmission.

How this is verified

Every build runs a check across the whole source tree — with comments stripped, so it measures code rather than prose — for URLSession, NWConnection, CFNetwork, URLRequest, StoreKit and CLLocationManager. If any of them appears, the build fails. Writing a promise is not keeping it; this one is measured.

Children

Palimpsest is rated 4+ and is suitable for children. Since it collects nothing and transmits nothing, it collects nothing from children either.

Changes

If a future version ever needed a network connection, this page would change first and the build gate would change with it. That order is deliberate.
