Effective date: October 31, 2026
The short version: your signatures and documents are yours. Signatures stay on your device and in your private iCloud, and documents stay on your device; we can't see either. The app uses Firebase Analytics to understand how it is used, with no advertising and no tracking across other companies' apps. We only receive personal details you choose to send us, such as a support message.
1. Who we are
Signature Widget (also shown on the App Store under localized names) is published by Ramon Dos Santos, who is responsible for the personal data described here. Contact details are in section 11.
2. Data that stays with you
- Signatures (strokes, colors, names) are stored on your device, in storage shared with the app's widgets, and synced to your private iCloud database when iCloud is available. This is what restores them after a reinstall or on a new device. We have no access to your private iCloud data.
- Documents you sign (PDF and Word) are processed on your device and never uploaded by the app. Signed copies are saved on your device, are not synced by the app, and are visible in the Files app. They may be included in your device backups, which Apple's terms govern.
- Photos you pick for a Lock Screen picture are chosen through the system picker and used on your device only. The app asks for add-only access to save images to Photos and does not read your library.
- Stickers and exported images are created on your device. They only leave it if you share, copy or save them.
A signature is sensitive. Widgets can be seen by anyone who looks at your screen, including the Lock Screen, and an image you share publicly can be copied. Please choose carefully where you show it.
3. Usage data (Firebase Analytics)
The app uses Firebase Analytics, a Google service, to learn which features are used and where people get stuck. It collects:
- An app-instance identifier, plus device model, operating system, app version, language and approximate location (country or region level, derived from your IP address)
- Events such as screens opened, signature saved, widget installed, document signed (file type, page count), paywall shown and purchases (product and value)
- Properties such as access level, number of signatures and whether you have a widget or are signed in
Never included: your signature, document contents or file names, your name, your email address or the text you search for. This data is not linked to your identity, is not used for advertising, and the app does not track you across other companies' apps and websites or use the advertising identifier (IDFA).
The app has no setting to turn analytics off at this time. Deleting the app stops collection.
4. "About you" (optional)
You may tell us your name, age range, gender, what you sign and how you found the app. Every answer is optional.
- Your answers are stored on your device and, if you sign in with Apple, in your private iCloud database.
- The categories (age range, gender, use case, how you found us) are sent to Firebase Analytics as properties of the app instance.
- Your name is never sent to analytics. It is only used for the greeting in the app.
5. Sign in with Apple (optional)
The app works fully without an account. If you sign in, Apple gives us your Apple user identifier and, the first time only, your name and email address (or a private relay address, if you choose to hide yours). They are stored in your iCloud Keychain and your private iCloud database, and are used for the greeting, your profile and promo perks. They do not reach analytics and we do not receive them on any server of our own.
6. Contact us
The in-app form sends the following to the public database of the app's iCloud (CloudKit) container, hosted by Apple, which is how we receive your message:
- The topic and your message
- Your reply email address, only if you provide it
- App version, iOS version, device model, language and access level, so we can help with your problem
This is a database shared across the app rather than your private iCloud space, so please don't include passwords, ID numbers or other sensitive details. If a message can't be sent right away, it is kept on your device and retried later. We keep messages for as long as we need them to help you and for our support records, and we delete them if you ask.
7. Promo codes and purchases
- Promo codes: when you redeem one, a redemption record (code, type, date, app version, language) is saved to the same public CloudKit database, so we can enforce usage limits. The benefit is stored in your iCloud Keychain and on your device.
- Purchases are handled entirely by Apple. We never receive your payment details. The app receives from Apple only what it needs to unlock Premium.
8. Who processes this data
- Apple — iCloud, CloudKit, Keychain, Sign in with Apple, App Store and app usage statistics. See Apple's privacy policy.
- Google — Firebase Analytics. See Firebase's privacy information.
We don't sell your data. These providers may process data outside your country, including in the United States. We may disclose data if the law requires it.
9. Your choices and rights
- Delete signatures and documents: delete them in the app. Deleting a signature also removes it from your iCloud sync.
- Delete your iCloud data: go to iOS Settings → your name → iCloud → Manage Account Storage. Signing out of the app does not remove the profile saved in your private iCloud.
- Stop using Sign in with Apple: sign out in the app's Settings, or revoke access in iOS Settings → your name → Sign-In & Security → Sign in with Apple.
- Change your "About you" answers: in the app's Settings → Account.
- Access, correct or delete what we hold: contact us. Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR or Brazil's LGPD), you may have the right to access, correct, delete or port your data, to object to or restrict processing, to withdraw consent, and to complain to your data protection authority.
Where those laws require a legal basis, we rely on providing the service you asked for (sync, support, purchases, codes), our legitimate interest in improving the app (analytics) and your consent (optional answers and account sign-in).
10. Children
Signature Widget is not directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect personal data from them. If you believe a child has sent us personal data, contact us and we will delete it.
11. Contact
Use Settings → Contact us in the app, or email signaturewidget@gmail.com.
12. Changes to this policy
When the app or this policy changes, we update the effective date above. If a change is significant, we'll also let you know in the app or in the App Store release notes.
