Privacy Policy
Effective 9 June 2026
The short version: Sprout has no servers, no accounts, no analytics, and no ads. Everything you log stays on your device and — if you use iCloud — in your own private iCloud storage. We have no way to see your data, and we like it that way.
What we collect
Nothing. Sprout does not operate any servers and does not transmit your data to us or to any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking service. There is no account to create and no email to hand over.
Where your data lives
Everything you log — sleep, feeds, diapers, growth measurements, milestones, and photos — is stored in a database on your device. If your device is signed into iCloud, Sprout syncs that database to the private CloudKit database attached to your Apple ID, so your data follows you across your own devices. That storage belongs to you and is governed by Apple's privacy policy; we cannot read, access, or recover it.
Photos
Milestone and profile photos you add are stored inside Sprout's database on your device and synced to your private iCloud like everything else. They are never uploaded anywhere else, and Sprout only accesses photos you explicitly pick.
Purchases
Sprout Plus subscriptions are processed entirely by Apple through the App Store. We never see your payment details. Apple shares only anonymous, aggregated sales figures with us.
Sharing images you create
If you use the milestone share feature, Sprout renders an image on your device and hands it to the iOS share sheet. Where it goes from there is your choice; nothing is shared automatically.
Support email
If you email us for help, we'll receive your email address, your message, and the basic diagnostics the app pre-fills (app version, iOS version, device model, locale). We use that information only to help you, and we don't add you to any mailing list.
Children's privacy
Sprout is made for parents and caregivers. The information you record about your children is entered by you, stays under your control, and is stored as described above. We never see it.
Deleting your data
You can delete individual entries or whole child profiles inside the app (deleting a child removes all of their events). Deleting the app removes the on-device database. iCloud-synced data can be removed by deleting it in the app while online, or via Settings → Apple ID → iCloud on your device.
Changes to this policy
If Sprout ever adds something that touches your data — for example, optional crash reporting — we will update this policy first and call it out in the app's release notes. The effective date at the top always reflects the latest version.
