BreadCrumb (“we”, “our”, or “us”) provides a productivity application and related website designed to help users organize projects, tasks, notes, captures, files, and other work. This Privacy Policy explains what information BreadCrumb handles, how it is used, when it leaves your device, and the choices available to you.
When you create an account or sign in to BreadCrumb, we collect information needed to authenticate you and keep your data associated with your account, such as your email address and an account identifier. If you use Sign in with Apple or Google, those services may provide account information needed to complete sign-in.
BreadCrumb stores the content you create or choose to save in the app, including:
This information is used to provide BreadCrumb’s core organization, storage, synchronization, and continuity features.
BreadCrumb uses PostHog to collect limited product-usage analytics so we can understand which features are used and improve the app. Analytics events may include actions such as creating or completing a task, using Crumb, or applying a suggestion, together with app and device information and your BreadCrumb account identifier.
These analytics events are designed not to include project names, task titles, note text, or the text of your Crumb messages. PostHog may also derive approximate location information from the network connection used to send an event, such as country, region, or city-level location.
We use analytics for product operation and improvement, not for advertising or cross-app tracking.
BreadCrumb does not use an automatic third-party crash-reporting service. If you choose to send a bug report from within the app, the report may include:
BreadCrumb does not automatically attach your Crumb conversation history to a bug report. Bug reports are used to troubleshoot the issue you report and improve the app.
BreadCrumb keeps local copies of app data on your device so the app can work quickly and support offline use. BreadCrumb also synchronizes core account content to cloud infrastructure so your work can be available across devices and restored after reinstalling or replacing a device.
Data that may be synchronized includes projects, folders, tasks, task details, notes, captures, and the files or images you choose to upload.
Some information stays on your device rather than being synchronized as normal cloud content. This includes your custom wallpaper, your Crumb conversation history, local links between BreadCrumb tasks and Apple Calendar or Reminders items, and various interface preferences.
We use Supabase for authentication, database synchronization, file storage, and server-side functions. Uploaded files are stored in private account-scoped storage rather than as publicly accessible files.
Crumb is BreadCrumb’s AI-assisted productivity feature. When you use Crumb, your request is sent through BreadCrumb’s server infrastructure and then to an external AI provider so a response or suggestion can be generated.
A Crumb request may include:
BreadCrumb does not send Quick Capture images or content, attached files or photos, or standalone note bodies to the normal Crumb request path. Your BreadCrumb name, email address, and account identifier are not deliberately included in the content payload sent to the AI model provider.
BreadCrumb currently uses Google’s Gemini API as the primary AI provider and OpenAI as a fallback provider when needed. A request may therefore be processed by Google or OpenAI. Their handling of information they receive is also governed by their applicable service terms and privacy practices.
BreadCrumb does not claim that information sent to an AI provider is never retained or never used under that provider’s own terms unless those terms expressly support that statement.
Your Crumb conversation history is stored locally on your device and is not synchronized as a normal server-side conversation history. BreadCrumb’s servers may keep content-free usage or request records needed for capacity, rate limiting, abuse prevention, and service operation. BreadCrumb does not intentionally log the text of your Crumb messages in its active application logs.
If you use voice dictation, Apple’s speech-recognition services may process audio on Apple’s servers depending on device and system behavior. BreadCrumb does not create or store an audio recording of your dictation. BreadCrumb receives the resulting transcript, and that text is then handled like a Crumb message you typed.
When you share a link, text, or image into BreadCrumb from another app, iOS may temporarily place that content in a private shared container used by the BreadCrumb Share Extension and the main app. The extension itself does not directly upload that content to BreadCrumb’s cloud services.
When BreadCrumb ingests an eligible shared item into Quick Capture, it can then synchronize to your account like other capture content. BreadCrumb uses account-ownership checks and cleanup rules to prevent queued content from being assigned to a different signed-in account. Some stale, quarantined, or legacy temporary files may remain on the device until automatic cleanup.
BreadCrumb asks for access only when you use a feature that needs it. Depending on the feature, the app may request:
Calendar and Reminders integrations use Apple’s native frameworks. BreadCrumb does not synchronize the contents of your Apple Calendar or Reminders library to its servers as part of those integrations.
BreadCrumb uses service providers to operate specific parts of the app. Confirmed providers include:
These providers process information for the purposes described above. Their own retention periods and processing practices may be governed by their applicable terms and settings.
BreadCrumb does not sell your personal information, does not show advertising, and does not use your information for cross-app or cross-website behavioral advertising. BreadCrumb does not use an advertising SDK or advertising identifier.
Product analytics provided through PostHog are used to understand and improve BreadCrumb and are not used by BreadCrumb for advertising.
The BreadCrumb website may use cookies or similar technologies to remember preferences and understand general site usage. These website technologies are separate from the BreadCrumb app.
We do not use website cookies for advertising or to track you across other websites. You can manage cookies through the site’s consent controls or your browser settings where available.
We generally keep your synchronized account data for as long as your account remains active and as needed to operate BreadCrumb.
Content moved to Trash is generally eligible for permanent removal after 30 days. Trash cleanup runs when the app is used, so an item may remain beyond 30 days if BreadCrumb has not been opened to perform cleanup.
You can delete your BreadCrumb account from Settings → Data & Privacy → Delete Account. Account deletion removes the BreadCrumb authentication account and the account-scoped projects, folders, tasks, notes, captures, uploaded files, usage records, and bug reports that BreadCrumb can identify and delete from its active systems. It also performs local cleanup of account data and locally owned capture files on the device.
Temporary, quarantined, or legacy Share Extension files that cannot be safely attributed to the deleted account may remain locally until cleanup rules remove them. Information already processed by third-party providers, infrastructure logs, or backup systems may also remain for the period governed by those systems and provider terms.
Signing out is not the same as deleting your account. BreadCrumb clears authentication and related account-session state, but user-scoped local database rows or files may remain on that device so they are available if the same account returns. BreadCrumb’s normal data access is scoped by account so a different signed-in account should not be shown the previous account’s local content through the app.
If you remove the BreadCrumb app from your device without deleting your account, data synchronized to your BreadCrumb account may remain in the cloud until you delete the account or request deletion.
We use reasonable technical measures designed to protect BreadCrumb data, including encrypted network connections, account-based access controls, private file storage, and row-level access rules for synchronized content. BreadCrumb is not end-to-end encrypted, and no internet-connected service or electronic storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.
Depending on where you live, privacy laws may give you rights concerning your personal information, including rights to access, correct, delete, object to or restrict certain processing, or request a copy of information where applicable.
You can edit or delete much of your BreadCrumb content directly in the app and can delete your account from Settings. You may also contact us about a privacy request at support@breadcrumb.works.
BreadCrumb does not sell personal information, so there is no sale of personal information to opt out of.
BreadCrumb is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information through BreadCrumb, please contact us at support@breadcrumb.works.
We may update this Privacy Policy as BreadCrumb changes. When updates are made, the “Last updated” date will be revised. If a change materially affects how BreadCrumb handles personal information, we may provide additional notice where appropriate.
