Privacy Policy

Effective 10 July 2026

Folio 1.1: the new version does not send communication content to KeenShift or a prediction provider. It has no Folio account, ads, analytics SDK or cross-app tracking. Drafts, phrases, history, learning, Conversation Mode and suggestions stay on the device.

Data Folio keeps locally

• Drafts. A draft is held in memory while you compose it. Folio does not add unfinished drafts to its saved phrase or history database.
• Phrases, boards, shortcuts and spoken history. These live in Folio's app container on your device.
• Conversation Mode. When you tap Listen, Apple on-device speech recognition transcribes the person speaking with you. Folio does not upload audio or transcripts. The rolling transcript is held in memory and cleared when listening stops. If on-device recognition is unavailable, Folio leaves Listen off instead of using server transcription.
• Suggestions and learning. Phrase-library ranking, learned word patterns and supported Apple on-device model suggestions run locally. Incognito pauses learning and history; Erase learned words deletes local learning.
• Voices. Folio uses installed Apple speech voices and Personal Voice through iOS.
• Backups. Exported backups are files you create and control. Folio also maintains a local automatic snapshot inside its app storage. KeenShift does not receive either file.
• Preferences. Voice, appearance, access and privacy preferences are stored locally so the app works the way you set it up.

Data KeenShift collects through Folio

None. Folio 1.1 does not include developer analytics, advertising, account sign-in, remote conversation prediction or a developer-operated content upload service.

Apple services and links you choose

• App Store purchases. Apple processes Folio Pro purchases and returns entitlement status through StoreKit. KeenShift does not receive your payment-card details.
• Apple voices and speech recognition. These are operating-system features governed by your device settings and Apple's terms.
• External links. If you choose a website, App Store, email or support link, the destination app or service may process data under its own policy.
• Support email. KeenShift receives only the information you decide to send. Please avoid private conversation text unless it is necessary to explain a problem.

Your controls

• Incognito: pauses local learning and local history.
• Erase learned words: removes Folio's local learning data.
• Delete individual content: phrases, boards, shortcuts and history can be removed in the app.
• Export a backup: creates a local file you control.
• Delete app data: deleting Folio deletes its local app container. Export a backup first if you may want the content later.
• Permissions: Microphone, Speech Recognition and Personal Voice access can be changed in iOS Settings.

Children and schools

Folio does not require an account or collect a child's identity through the app. Communication content and suggestions stay on the device. A parent, guardian, school or user controls device permissions, local content and any backup files they export.

Security and changes

Folio relies on iOS app-container protections for local data. No system can be promised perfectly secure, so protect the device and any backup files appropriately. If Folio later proposes materially different data collection or off-device processing, this policy and the App Store privacy disclosure will be updated before that behavior ships.
