Last updated: June 26, 2026
Local-first records
Your working homestead records are stored on your Apple devices.
Optional iCloud sync
If enabled, Apple iCloud syncs app data across your Apple devices using your Apple ID.
No sale of personal data
Homestead Keeper is not designed around selling user data or building advertising profiles.
Support is optional
If you contact support, we use the information you provide to answer and troubleshoot.
User-controlled exports
Exports, reports, backups, and shared files are controlled by you.
Plain language
Local records and Apple sync are not the same as a Homestead Keeper web account.
Homestead Keeper does not require a Homestead Keeper login for normal app use. Your working records live on your Apple devices. If you enable iCloud sync, Apple syncs your app data between your iPhone, iPad, and Mac using your Apple ID.
Homestead Keeper does not operate a separate cloud dashboard where you sign in to manage your homestead records.
Before changing devices
Before deleting the app, wiping a device, replacing hardware, or changing Apple IDs, make sure your records are synced, backed up, or exported in a way that matches your app version and plan.
App data
Information used by the app
The app can contain the records you choose to create. Most day-to-day records are designed to stay on your devices unless you enable Apple sync, export a file, share a report, or contact support.
| Category | Examples | Where it goes |
|---|---|---|
| Homestead records | Animals, plants, gardens, orchards, equipment, places, inventory, pantry, calendar items, reminders, notes, reports, production, harvest, breeding, maintenance, and related records you enter in the app. | Stored locally on your Apple devices. If iCloud sync is enabled, Apple may sync this data through iCloud for your Apple ID. |
| Photos, documents, and attachments | Images, documents, receipts, manuals, labels, or other files you choose to attach where supported by your app version. | Stored with app data on your device and, if enabled, synced by Apple iCloud. |
| Imports, exports, reports, and backups | CSV/PDF exports, backup files, imported files, QR labels, and reports you create or select. | Created, stored, shared, deleted, or backed up by you using the app, device, and services you choose. |
| Purchase status | Information needed to unlock paid features, restore purchases, or confirm subscription/lifetime access. | Handled through Apple App Store systems. Homestead Keeper does not receive your full payment card details. |
Website and support
Information collected when you contact support
Support is optional. If you email support or use the website form, you choose what to send.
| Category | Examples | How it is used |
|---|---|---|
| Support form and email | Name, email address, topic, device/app details if provided, screenshots or files you choose to send, and the message content. | Used to respond to support requests, troubleshoot problems, and improve documentation or product quality. |
| Website hosting and basic logs | Standard technical information such as IP address, browser type, requested page, and time of request may be processed by hosting or security providers. | Used to operate, secure, and troubleshoot the website. |
How data is used
We use information to provide the app and respond to requests.
Homestead Keeper uses app data to show your records, reminders, calendar items, reports, exports, layouts, maps, and other app features. Purchase status is used to unlock paid features and restore purchases. Support messages are used to respond to your request, troubleshoot issues, and improve product documentation.
Homestead Keeper is not designed to sell personal data, run third-party advertising profiles, or require a Homestead Keeper account for normal app use.
Third parties
Some services may process data to operate the app, store, and website.
- Apple: Provides iCloud sync, App Store purchases, subscriptions, restore purchases, and device-level services under your Apple ID and Apple privacy terms.
- FormSubmit: Processes support form submissions from the website and forwards them to Homestead Keeper support email.
- Website hosting and email providers: Help deliver the website, receive support messages, protect the site, and operate normal email support.
When you use Apple services, Apple handles that data under Apple's privacy terms and your Apple ID settings. When you submit a website support form, FormSubmit processes the message so it can be delivered to support.
Retention and deletion
You control app records on your devices.
Because Homestead Keeper is local-first, most app records are kept until you edit or delete them in the app, remove the app, delete local files, change iCloud settings, or delete related iCloud data through Apple.
App records
Records stored in the app remain on your Apple devices and, if enabled, in iCloud until you delete them or manage them through your device and Apple account settings.
Exports and backups
Files you export, share, print, email, save, or back up are controlled by you and by the apps or services where you place them.
Support messages
Support emails and form submissions may be kept as long as needed to respond, troubleshoot, keep business records, and improve support. You can ask for support messages connected to your email address to be deleted.
Consent and requests
How to ask questions, request deletion, or revoke access
You can stop using optional iCloud sync through your Apple device and iCloud settings. You can delete app records in the app or manage app/iCloud data through Apple settings. You can also contact Homestead Keeper support to ask privacy questions or request deletion of support messages associated with your email address.

App Store privacy details
Privacy labels should match the current app build.
App Store Connect privacy answers should be kept consistent with this policy and with the exact app version being submitted.
On-device data
Records that stay only on the user's device generally should be treated differently from data transmitted off the device. If iCloud sync is enabled, Apple is the sync provider.
Support data
If users send support emails, forms, screenshots, or files, disclose the data types that are collected for support.
Future services
If analytics, crash reporting, account features, or other services are added later, update both this policy and App Store Connect privacy details before publishing those changes.
Data safety
A subscription lapse should never be a delete button.
If a subscription lapses, existing data should remain visible and safe. Paid actions such as adding beyond the Free limit, exports, backups, imports, QR labels, and advanced tools require Pro again.
