How we handle your information
Effective Date: December 23, 2024
Last Updated: December 23, 2024
Privacy is a core product feature, not a marketing checkbox. We built Nexus with an on-device-first architecture because we believe your contact data belongs to you—not to us, not to advertisers, not to data brokers.
All your contact data is processed and stored locally on your device. This includes:
We do not have servers that receive, process, or store your contact information. We cannot see your contacts, and we cannot sell what we don't have.
If you enable iCloud sync, your data syncs through Apple's CloudKit using your personal iCloud account. This data is encrypted by Apple, stored in your iCloud account (not ours), and governed by Apple's privacy policy. We do not have access to your iCloud data.
| Permission | Why We Ask |
|---|---|
| Contacts | Core app functionality—read and organize your contacts locally |
| Camera | Capture photos when meeting someone (stored on your device only) |
| Photo Library | Attach existing photos you select |
| Location (optional) | Add event context (stored only on your device) |
You can deny any permission and still use other features of the app.
Contact Form: If you submit our contact form, we receive your name, email address, and message. We use this only to respond to your inquiry.
Server Logs: Our hosting provider may collect IP addresses, browser type, and timestamps for security purposes.
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes. We may share information only if required by law or to protect our rights.
For app data: everything is stored on your device. Delete the app, and your local data is deleted.
