Privacy policy
Effective August 5, 2026
The short version: Oatline doesn’t collect your data. There’s no Oatline account, no Oatline server, and no third-party analytics or advertising anywhere in the app. What you put into Oatline stays on your devices and in your own iCloud.
This policy explains what data the Oatline app for iPhone and Mac (“Oatline,” “the app”) handles, where it lives, and the choices you have. Oatline is made by Another One LLC (“we,” “us”). Because the app is built to work without collecting anything, this policy is mostly a description of what doesn’t happen — but we’ve written it out properly, because you shouldn’t have to take our word for it.
What we collect
Nothing. We do not collect, receive, store, sell, or share any personal data. We run no servers, require no sign-up, and have no way to see your meals, plans, goals, allergies, recipes, or anything else you enter. The app makes no network connections to us or to any third party — the only network traffic is Apple’s iCloud sync, described below.
What the app stores, and where
Everything you create in Oatline — your goals and targets, way of eating, allergies and dislikes, household size, meal plans, shopping lists, and custom recipes — is stored on your device.
If your device is signed into iCloud, the app also syncs that data to the private iCloud database attached to your Apple ID, so it follows you to your other devices. That database belongs to you: it is not accessible to us, and Apple processes it under its own privacy policy and your iCloud agreement. If you’re not signed into iCloud, everything still works, and your data stays only on the device you’re using.
Analytics and diagnostics
The app logs a small number of technical events (for example, that a plan was generated, or that generation failed) using Apple’s on-device logging. These logs stay on your device, are never transmitted to us, and never include the contents of your data — not your allergies, not your recipes, not your meals. There are no third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs in the app.
Apple Health
Oatline can, if you turn it on, write the nutrition of meals you check off (energy, protein, fat, and carbohydrates) to Apple Health. This is off unless you enable it, and the system will ask for your permission before the first write. The app writes to Health; anything in Health is governed by the Health app and your device settings, and never reaches us. We do not use Health data for advertising or marketing, and we do not share it with anyone — we never have it in the first place. You can revoke Health access at any time in the Health app or in Settings.
Apple Reminders
If you choose to export a shopping list to Apple Reminders, the app asks for the system permission and writes your list into Reminders on your device. That’s the whole transaction. You can revoke the permission at any time in Settings.
Notifications
Notifications (for example, a shopping-day reminder) are scheduled locally on your device, only if you allow them. Nothing about them is sent to us.
Data retention and deletion
Because your data lives with you, retention is under your control:
- Deleting the app from a device removes the app’s local data from that device.
- If iCloud sync was on, your data remains in your private iCloud until you delete it there, and will return if you reinstall the app. To delete it, open Settings on your iPhone, tap your name → iCloud → Saved to iCloud (or Manage Account Storage), find Oatline, and delete its data. On a Mac: System Settings → your name → iCloud.
We cannot delete your data for you — only you can, because only you have access to it. If you get stuck, email us and we’ll walk you through it.
Your choices
Every integration in Oatline is a toggle that’s honest about its state: Health, Reminders, and notifications each ask for permission when you turn them on, and off means off. System-level permissions can always be reviewed and revoked in iOS or macOS Settings.
Third parties
We share data with no third parties, because we hold no data to share. The only parties that process anything are Apple (iCloud sync, Health, Reminders, notifications — all under your Apple ID and Apple’s privacy policy) and, for this website, GitHub (below). Any third party that ever appears in this policy in the future will be held to at least the protections described here, and we’ll update the policy before that happens.
Children
Oatline is not directed at children under 13, and since the app collects no personal information, it collects none from children either.
This website
oatline.app is a static site with no cookies, no analytics, and no tracking scripts. It is hosted on GitHub Pages, which may log basic technical request data (such as IP addresses) for security purposes under the GitHub Privacy Statement.
Changes to this policy
If the app’s behavior ever changes in a way that affects your privacy — for example, if a future version adds opt-in analytics — we will update this policy first, change the effective date above, and say so plainly in the App Store release notes.
