Stuffolio

Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2026

The short version: Your stuff is your business. Stuffolio stores your data on your device by default. We don't see it, sell it, or share it.

Privacy-first means: We built Stuffolio so you don't have to trust us with your data. It stays on your device unless you choose otherwise.

Your Stuff, Your Data

  • Works 100% offline — No internet required
  • iCloud sync is optional — Turn it off, everything still works
  • AI runs only when you ask — Silent by default, nothing analyzed without your request
  • We can't see your inventory — It's in YOUR iCloud, not ours
  • No ads, no tracking profiles — Anonymous analytics only; in-app analytics disable anytime in Settings, website analytics respect browser Do Not Track
  • Export everything anytime — PDF, CSV, Excel

What stays on your device

By default, everything:

  • Product names, descriptions, and photos
  • Purchase dates, prices, and receipts
  • Warranty information and reminders
  • Locations, notes, and categories
  • Serial numbers and barcodes

This data never leaves your iPhone, iPad, or Mac unless you turn on optional features.

Optional features that use the internet

These are all opt-in. You choose if and when to use them.

iCloud Sync

If you turn this on, your data syncs across your Apple devices using your personal iCloud account. Apple handles the encryption. We never see this data — it goes directly between your devices and Apple's servers.

Family Sharing & Legacy Wishes

If you choose to share with a family member, the data you share — beneficiary names, item assignments, and the shared item details — travels through your iCloud account to the person you invite, using Apple's CloudKit sharing (the same mechanism as sharing a Notes folder). Only people you explicitly invite can see it, and you can stop sharing at any time, which removes their access. We never see this data; it goes between your iCloud and theirs.

AI Features (Stuff Scout, OCR, Product Assistant — When You Ask)

Stuffolio's AI is user-initiated and non-ambient. Nothing is analyzed or sent to external services unless you explicitly request help. This covers Stuff Scout (item identification), receipt and label text scanning (OCR), and the AI Product Assistant. When you use any of them:

  • The photos or text you submit are sent to our server, then on to an AI provider, for that one request
  • We process the request and don't keep your images after it completes
  • We don't build a profile about you
  • The AI providers process the request under their own privacy terms (listed under Third-party services below)

Barcode Lookup

When you scan a barcode and request product info, only the barcode number is sent. No personal information.

Recall Checker

Checking for product recalls sends only the manufacturer and model. No serial numbers or personal data.

Product Updates (Opt-in)

You can choose to receive occasional updates about new features, tips, and improvements. This is completely optional.

  • What we collect: Email address and/or phone number (only if you provide them)
  • How we use it: To send you product updates and feature tips — nothing else
  • How often: Infrequent — just a few times per year
  • What we don't do: No marketing, no promotions, never sold or shared

Your contact information is stored securely on Cloudflare. Emails are delivered via Resend; text messages via Twilio. You can unsubscribe anytime in Settings → Updates or via the link in any message.

Crash Reports

If the app crashes, we collect anonymous technical information to fix bugs:

  • Device type and operating system version
  • What happened before the crash
  • App version

We don't collect your name, email, inventory data, or photos in crash reports.

Usage Analytics (Opt-out)

Stuffolio collects anonymous aggregate data by default to improve the app:

  • Which features are used (not what data you enter)
  • App stability and performance metrics
  • A persistent anonymous identifier, stored only in your device's Keychain, to count unique users and understand feature usage over time — it is not your name, email, or any personal detail, and it is never linked to your inventory

We don't see your product names, photos, or personal information through analytics. This feature is on by default. You can disable it at any time in Settings → Privacy, or during onboarding.

Website Analytics

Separately from in-app analytics, stuffolio.app uses Plausible to count anonymous page views and outbound link clicks (for example, the number of visitors who tap "Become a Beta Tester"). Plausible is a privacy-friendly analytics service that does not use cookies, does not build profiles, and does not track visitors across sites.

  • What's collected: anonymous page views, referrer (where you came from), country (not city), browser type, and outbound link clicks
  • What's NOT collected: IP addresses (Plausible hashes them in-memory and discards), cookies, personal identifiers, anything that would let us recognize you on a return visit
  • Honest asymmetry: the "disable anytime" mechanism in Settings → Privacy applies to in-app analytics. Website analytics has no per-visitor toggle today; the closest equivalent is your browser's Do Not Track setting, which Plausible honors automatically for stuffolio.app visitors. Ad-blockers like uBlock Origin also suppress the analytics script if you'd prefer that route.

What we don't do

  • Sell your data — Never have, never will
  • Show you ads — Stuffolio has no advertising
  • Track you across apps — We don't use tracking SDKs
  • Build a profile about you — Anonymous identifiers for aggregate statistics are not linked to your identity

Your data, your control

You can:

  • Use Stuffolio completely offline — No account required
  • Export your data — CSV, PDF, and other formats
  • Delete everything — Settings → Data Management → Reset All Data wipes local data. If iCloud sync is on, deletions sync to your other devices; if you've shared with family, stop sharing to revoke their access.
  • Turn off any network feature — At any time in Settings

Third-party services

When you use optional features, these services may process data according to their own privacy policies:

Children's privacy

Stuffolio isn't designed for children under 13. We don't knowingly collect information from children.

California residents (CCPA)

You have the right to know what data we collect, request deletion, and opt out of data sales. Since we don't sell data and store almost nothing about you, there's not much to request — but you're welcome to ask.

Questions?

We're happy to explain anything.
