Privacy Policy
Typelace works entirely on your device. It has no accounts, makes no network connections, and contains no analytics, advertising, or tracking code. The developer never receives the text you type, copy, or share.
This policy covers the Typelace app for iPhone and iPad, its Share extension, and the Typelace keyboard. Typelace is made by Gary Neitzke, referred to here as “the developer.”
What Typelace collects
Nothing. Typelace doesn’t send any data to the developer or to anyone else, and it contains no third-party code: no SDKs, ad networks, or analytics services. With nothing collected, there is nothing to sell or share.
Your text and History
The text you type is kept in memory while Typelace is open. It isn’t saved.
When you copy a result, Typelace adds it to History, which keeps your 50 most recent copies. Each entry holds the copied text, the style and decoration you used, and when you copied it.
History, your favorite styles, and your settings are stored on your device in a container that the app shares with its Share extension and keyboard. Like other app data, they are included in your device backups.
Clipboard
Typelace writes to the clipboard only when you copy something. It reads the clipboard only when you paste, with the Paste button or the Paste command.
Share extension
When you share text to Typelace from another app, the extension receives only the text you chose to share. When you pick a style, it copies the result and adds it to History. The text you shared isn’t saved.
Keyboard
The Typelace keyboard doesn’t request Full Access, so iOS doesn’t let it connect to the network or use the clipboard. It doesn’t save or record what you type: letters you type on it are held in memory only and cleared when you tap Insert.
The keyboard reads your favorite styles and settings from the app so it can show them. It inserts text only when you tap Insert.
Crash reports and diagnostics
Typelace has no crash-reporting service of its own.
iOS can give an app reports about its own crashes, hangs, and resource use through Apple’s MetricKit. Typelace writes these reports to your device’s system log and never sends them anywhere.
If you’ve turned on Share With App Developers in Settings › Privacy & Security › Analytics & Improvements, Apple may send the developer crash and performance reports. If you test a beta through TestFlight, TestFlight sends crash reports and any feedback you submit.
Crash and diagnostic reports don’t include the text you type. They describe the app’s state, such as the code that was running when it crashed.
Deleting your data
- To remove one History entry, swipe it left.
- To remove all of History, tap Clear All in History.
- To remove a favorite, tap its star.
- Deleting Typelace removes all of its data, including History, favorites, and settings, from your device.
Copies in device backups made before you deleted something are kept or removed according to your backup settings.
Children
Typelace collects no personal information from anyone, including children under 13.
Changes to this policy
If Typelace starts handling data differently, this page and the policy inside the app will be updated before that version is released, and the effective date above will change.
