Perseid for iPhone

Everything stays on your phone.

Perseid is a baby log: feeds, diapers, sleep, growth, immunizations, and the sky she was born under. It has no account, no server, and no analytics. This page is the whole privacy policy, because there is not much to say.

What Perseid collects

Nothing. What you type stays in the app's own storage on your phone. Perseid does not send it to us or to anyone else, and we have no way to see it.

What leaves your phone, and only when you ask

Sharing with your partner

When you and your partner both open the sharing screen, the log travels directly from one phone to the other over your local network, encrypted by iOS. It does not pass through any server. The first time, your partner's phone asks before it adds anything. Adding a shared log never deletes what is already here. Once two phones are linked, an edit or deletion made on one is applied on the other, announced, and can be undone.

Exporting a file

You can export the log as a file and send it wherever you choose, for instance to a doctor. Once you send it, it is yours to manage; Perseid keeps no copy.

Reminders

Feed reminders and the optional wake-to-feed timer are scheduled on your phone by iOS. They are not sent from anywhere.

iCloud backup

If you turn on iCloud backup, a copy of the log goes to your own iCloud account; Apple stores it, and neither Perseid nor its developer can read it.

Photos

A photo you take or choose in Perseid is stored inside the app on your phone, downsized, with its location data removed. If you have linked a partner's phone, photos and their edits move directly between the two phones while both have Perseid open. They never pass through a server, because there is none. Photos are not part of the log file, and if you turn on iCloud backup only a photo's day and note go to iCloud, never the picture. A photo one of you deletes is removed from the other phone too; the other phone says so and can undo it. A photo taken with Perseid's camera is also saved to your own Photos library if you allow it. When you fill in an earlier day, Perseid can show you the photos from your own library that were taken on that day; this needs Photos access, which you can limit to the photos you choose. Perseid reads them on your phone only, and nothing about your library leaves it. The mosaic Perseid can make from your daily photos is drawn on your phone and saved only where you put it. Deleting the app deletes the photos it holds.

What Perseid does not do

No advertising, no tracking, no third-party code, no crash reporting, no location. The birth-night sky is computed on the phone from a star catalogue that ships inside the app; nothing is downloaded to draw it.

Medical content

Perseid records what you enter. It does not diagnose, interpret, or give medical advice. Developmental milestones are quoted from the CDC and the immunization list from the CDC schedule, with their dates stated in the app. If something concerns you, speak to your paediatrician.

Deleting your data

Delete the app. Unless you turned on iCloud backup, nothing is stored anywhere else, so that is the whole procedure. If you did turn it on, the copy in your iCloud stays until you remove it yourself: Settings → your name → iCloud → Manage Storage → Perseid. Export a file first if you want to keep a copy.

Children

Perseid is used by parents and carers. It collects no personal information from anyone, of any age.
