Last updated: September 28, 2026. This policy explains what Lanes stores, what it does not collect, and how to contact me with privacy questions.
Lanes is local. It does not require an account, does not send your cards to a server or cloud service, does not use analytics, and does not track you across apps or websites. Voice input is transcribed and shaped on your device. Your board stays on your iPhone or iPad unless you export or share it.
Lanes stores the cards you create, including the title, notes, checklist items, priority, lane, position, due date, whether a reminder is on, project tags, and when the card was created, changed, moved, or archived. It also stores your projects and their names, colors, and order.
Lanes stores your preferences on your device, such as your theme and appearance, start tab, Doing limit, default due time, and whether the sample board has been set up.
If you tap the microphone, Lanes asks for microphone and speech recognition access. Your speech is transcribed on your device with Apple’s speech framework. Recording stops after a minute, when you stop it, or when a call comes in. Lanes does not save the audio; only the text becomes part of your card.
If the speech model for your language is not yet on your device, iOS may download it from Apple. That download does not include your recordings. When Apple Intelligence is available, Lanes uses Apple’s on-device model to tidy the transcript into a title, notes, and details. That processing also stays on your device.
If you turn on a reminder for a card, Lanes asks for permission to send notifications and schedules a local notification on your device for the due time. The notification shows the card’s title, which may appear on your Lock Screen depending on your notification settings. Reminders are not sent through a server.
Lanes does not collect account or sign-in information, location, contacts, calendars, photos, advertising identifiers, analytics events, crash reports, or cross-app or cross-website tracking data.
The developer does not receive a copy of your cards, projects, or recordings. Lanes does not sell or share personal data.
Like other app data, Lanes’s data may be included in your device’s iCloud or computer backups if you have backups turned on. Those backups are handled by Apple under your backup settings and are not accessible to the developer.
You can export your board as a JSON backup or a CSV spreadsheet from Settings, including archived cards and every project. You can also share a single card’s text from the card editor. These go only where you send them with the share sheet, such as Files, Mail, or Messages. Once exported, that copy is yours to protect.
You can edit, archive, or delete any card or project in the app, and clear the whole board from Settings. To delete all Lanes data, delete the app from your device; iOS removes its local data and any reminders it scheduled.
Lanes is not intended for children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
This policy may be updated as Lanes changes. If a future version adds accounts, cloud sync, analytics, or other data processing, this policy will be updated before that version is released.
Questions about this policy, or requests to access or delete your information, can be sent to inder@doodlestudio.io.
