Tidebird Privacy Policy

Information you add to Tidebird

Tidebird may store information you enter into the app, including baby and caregiver names, baby date of birth and gender, baby care events and growth measurements, notes, caregiver profile details, notification preferences, import/export data, and optional profile images.

To support iCloud sync and family sharing, Tidebird also stores CloudKit record identifiers and related settings metadata.

Where your data is stored

Tidebird stores app data on your device. If iCloud is available for your Apple account, Tidebird syncs data through Apple iCloud using CloudKit so your own devices can stay up to date.

If you choose to invite another caregiver, Tidebird uses Apple iCloud sharing so invited caregivers can access the shared baby record and related activity. You control who you invite.

Tidebird does not operate its own account system or server for your baby care data. We do not sell your data, use it for advertising, track you across apps or websites, or use third-party analytics or advertising SDKs.

Tidebird Plus subscriptions

Tidebird Plus is sold through Apple's App Store. Apple processes the payment, and Tidebird never receives your card or billing details. The app uses Apple's StoreKit on your device to check whether your subscription is active. You can manage or cancel Tidebird Plus in your Apple account's subscription settings.

Support and feedback

If you contact us by email or send feedback through TestFlight, we may receive the information you choose to include, such as your email address, message, screenshots, crash details, or diagnostic context supplied by Apple. We use this only to respond to support requests and improve Tidebird.

Notifications

Tidebird may send optional notifications if you grant permission. Notification settings can be changed in the app or in iOS Settings.

Data export and deletion

Tidebird includes tools to export app data. You can delete baby profiles and events in the app. You can also manage or remove app data through your device and iCloud settings.

Children's privacy

Tidebird is intended for use by parents and caregivers. It is not directed to children and does not knowingly collect information directly from children.

Medical disclaimer

Tidebird is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment recommendations. Caregivers should contact a qualified health professional for medical concerns.

Changes to this policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will update the effective date above.
