Privacy policy

Information stored on your device

The app stores your selected space and duration, current or paused session, completed actions, saved next steps, recent cleaning history, custom routines, and app preferences. Preferences include reminder times and weekdays, notification choices, and whether you dismissed a Plus introduction.

These records let the app save your place, show your progress, and suggest tasks for your chosen time and energy. Suggestions are calculated on your device. The app does not send your cleaning history or custom routine text to us.

The current version keeps up to 60 recent session records. Custom routines remain until you delete them or clear saved progress. If a progress file is damaged, the app may keep a local recovery copy to avoid silently losing the original data.

A little does not provide its own account-based backup or cloud sync. Your device’s backup or transfer services may include app data according to your system settings. Those services are controlled by you and the service provider. Deleting or replacing your device, or removing the app, may cause cleaning data to be lost; restoring purchases does not restore that data.

Apple services and purchases

StoreKit communicates with Apple to display products, process purchases, and verify subscription access. The app uses Apple-verified product and transaction information, including subscription status and relevant dates, to unlock Plus. We do not receive your payment-card details through the app.

Apple processes App Store purchases and may provide sales or diagnostic information under its own services and your settings. Please see Apple’s privacy information for how Apple handles that information.

Optional notifications

Reminders are local notifications scheduled on your iPhone after you choose to enable them. You can use the app with notifications off, change reminders in A little, or change notification permission in iPhone Settings. We do not operate a remote push-notification service for this version.

If you contact support

If you email us, we receive your email address and the message or attachments you choose to send. We use this information to respond, investigate your issue, and maintain necessary support records. Please avoid sending sensitive information, Apple Account passwords, payment-card details, or unneeded personal details in screenshots.

Our email provider processes messages to deliver and store correspondence. We keep support correspondence only for as long as reasonably needed to handle the request, maintain necessary records, or meet legal obligations. You can ask us to delete correspondence using the contact below, subject to records we must lawfully retain.

Purposes and legal bases

Where EEA or UK data-protection rules apply, we handle support information to respond to your request and provide the service you ask for, for our legitimate interests in troubleshooting and protecting our service, and where needed to meet legal obligations. We do not use support correspondence for advertising. Our email and website providers may process information in countries other than your own; their privacy information describes their international processing practices.

When you visit these pages

These pages are hosted by Cloudflare Pages. The hosting service receives ordinary connection information, such as an IP address, requested page, browser information, and request time, to deliver and protect the website. See the hosting provider’s privacy policy.

We do not add advertising, analytics scripts, tracking cookies, or contact forms to this website. Following an external link or sending an email brings you to a separate service with its own privacy practices.

Your choices and deletion

• Use Settings → Clear saved progress in A little to remove saved sessions, next steps, custom routines, and local recovery copies. This does not cancel a subscription, remove Apple’s purchase records, or reset notification preferences.
• Manage reminders separately in the app or iPhone Settings. Control any device backups through the provider’s settings.
• Contact us about information you sent to support. We cannot remotely read, export, or delete cleaning records stored only on your device.

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of personal information we hold, or to object to its use and complain to your local privacy regulator. Send a request using the contact below; we may need enough information to verify and handle your request. We do not sell personal information or use it for targeted advertising.

Children

A little is a general-purpose cleaning tool, not a service directed at children. We do not knowingly collect children’s personal information through support correspondence. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, please contact us so we can review and delete it as appropriate.

Updates to this policy

We will update this page and its effective date if our practices change. Any future feature that changes how information is handled, such as cloud sync or photo processing, will need an updated explanation before use.
