What Dash stores

Your grids and what you log in them — names, options, goals, and one entry per box with the time you made it. That's all. Dash asks for no name, no email, no age, no location, and doesn't read anything else on the device: not your contacts, photos, Health data or calendar.

Where it lives

On the device, in Dash's own storage. It goes nowhere unless you do one of the two things below, and then it goes only through Apple's iCloud, using the Apple Account already signed in on the device. Kytra has no server, receives no copy, and can't see your data.

• Publish puts one grid into your own private iCloud database, so your other devices can join it. Only grids you publish leave the device; the rest stay put.
• Share sends one grid, through iCloud, to the one person you send it to. They see that grid and nothing else of yours. Every box on a shared grid carries the name of whoever filled it — the name iCloud provides for the person's Apple Account — so both of you can see who did what.

Apple's handling of iCloud data is covered by Apple's privacy policy. Dash uses iCloud's standard, encrypted sync (CloudKit) and nothing else.

What Dash doesn't do

• No analytics, crash reporting or telemetry. Dash doesn't know how many people use it or how.
• No advertising, no advertising identifiers, no tracking across apps or sites.
• No third-party services or SDKs. The only party besides you is Apple, for iCloud and the App Store.
• No account to create, and so no password to keep.

Notifications

Nags are local notifications scheduled on the device. If you turn them on, Dash asks iOS for permission the first time; nothing about them is sent anywhere.

Purchases

The unlock is bought through the App Store. Apple handles the payment and sends Dash only a receipt saying the purchase exists. Dash never sees your payment details, and Kytra doesn't learn who bought it.

Apple Health

Dash does not read from or write to Apple Health. It counts your taps; it doesn't ask your device what you did.

Backups

Because Dash's data sits in the app's normal storage area, it may be picked up by backups you make of your own device — an iCloud backup or a backup to your computer on iPhone and iPad, or Time Machine on a Mac. Those backups belong to you and to Apple, not to Kytra.

Your control

• Export any grid or everything as a spreadsheet or a Dash file, from the app's Settings, at any time.
• Remove from iCloud takes a published grid out of your iCloud database; every device keeps the copy it has.
• Stop sharing ends a share; the other person keeps what they had, and your name stays on the boxes you filled.
• Deleting the app deletes its data on that device. Anything you had put in iCloud stays there until you remove it, from Dash or from the device's iCloud settings.

Getting a full copy of your data

At any time, free of charge, you can export one grid or everything — as a spreadsheet (.csv, one row per tick) or as a Dash file (.json) — from inside the app. A Dash file imports again on any of your devices, so nothing is ever trapped in here. Exports go through your device's standard share sheet, to wherever you send them, out of sight of Kytra.

Deleting your data

Deleting a grid removes it from that device straight away. Settings › Your data › Erase everything clears every grid and all history from that device. Neither touches iCloud — a published grid stays there for your other devices until you choose Remove from iCloud in its Share pane. Deleting the app removes everything Dash has stored on that device, apart from anything already in iCloud, in a backup, or in an export you made.

What Kytra does receive

The only personal data Kytra ever gets is what you send us yourself. If you email us for support we'll have your email address, any name you give, and what you wrote. Kytra Analytics Limited is the data controller for those emails.

We use them to reply to you and sort out your question, and for nothing else. Our lawful basis is legitimate interests: when you write to us, we have a legitimate interest in answering. We don't market to you and don't pass them on; like any email they sit with our email provider, which can't use them for anything of its own.

We keep support emails for two years after we last hear from you, in case the same problem comes back, then delete them. Ask and we'll delete yours sooner.

The website

These pages have no analytics, no cookies and no tracking, and load nothing from anyone else — even the fonts are served from kytra.uk. Like any website it's hosted for us, by Microsoft Azure, whose servers see your IP address in order to send you the page.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law you can ask for a copy of the personal data we hold about you, have it corrected or deleted, and object to our using it or ask us to limit how we use it. The only personal data we hold is support emails, so for any of these, write to us — the address is on the about Kytra page. Everything else lives on your own devices or in your own iCloud account, where you can read, change, export or delete it yourself — we have no copy to give you.

If you're unhappy with how we've handled your data, tell us first so we can put it right. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's data protection regulator, at ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint or on 0303 123 1113.

Children

Dash collects nothing from anyone, children included. It has no age gate because it has nothing to gate.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be here with a new date.
