What Briskly stores on your device
- Photos you take or import. Before and after photos for sessions are saved to your iPhone in app-private storage. They are not uploaded anywhere.
- Session history. The list of sessions you've completed (room name, mode, duration, tasks ticked off, photos attached) is stored locally using SwiftData.
- Settings. Your preferences (sound on or off, music service choice, language tweaks) are stored in iOS UserDefaults on your device.
- Authentication tokens. If you connect Spotify, an access token is stored in the iOS Keychain on your device only. We never see it.
Analytics we collect
To understand how Briskly is used and to catch problems early, we rely on the anonymous, aggregated analytics that Apple provides through the App Store (App Analytics in App Store Connect). This is broad data like how many people open the app, general usage and performance trends, and crash counts.
- Anonymised by Apple. We only ever see broad numbers, never anything tied to you. Apple anonymises and aggregates this data, and only people who have agreed to share analytics with Apple are included at all.
- No third-party trackers. We don't bundle Firebase, Mixpanel, Sentry, Amplitude, or any other analytics SDK. It's just Apple's built-in reporting.
- Never your photos. Your before and after photos are never included in analytics and never leave your device.
What Briskly does NOT collect
- Never your photos. Your room photos stay in app-private storage on your device and are never uploaded or sent anywhere.
- No accounts, no sign-up, no email. Briskly has no concept of a user account.
- No advertising identifiers. We do not request
ATTpermission, we do not read IDFA. - No location. Briskly does not request location access.
- No contacts, calendar, or microphone. Briskly does not request access to these.
Permissions Briskly asks for, and why
- Camera. Used only when you tap to take a photo of a room. The photo stays on your device. Strings: "Briskly uses your camera to take a photo of your room so it can suggest cleaning tasks. Photos stay on your device and are never uploaded."
- Photo Library. Used only when you choose to pick an existing photo instead of taking a new one. Same data path, same on-device only guarantee.
- Apple Music. Used only if you opt into Task Tracks (music-paced cleaning) and pick Apple Music as your provider. Briskly asks Apple Music for songs to play, it does not read your library elsewhere.
Third-party services
Briskly can optionally integrate with two music services if you turn them on:
- Spotify. If you connect Spotify, Briskly authenticates via Spotify's OAuth flow and uses the resulting token to start playback during sessions. Spotify's privacy policy applies to anything Spotify does on its end. See spotify.com/privacy.
- Apple Music. If you opt into Apple Music, Briskly uses Apple's MusicKit framework to play songs. Apple's privacy policy applies. See apple.com/legal/privacy.
Briskly does not share any of your session data, photos, or local content with these services. The only thing Briskly tells them is "play this song now".
On-device AI
Briskly uses Apple's on-device Vision framework and Apple Intelligence to look at your room photos and suggest cleaning tasks. All of this runs locally on your iPhone. No photo is sent to a remote server, ours or anyone else's.
Children
Briskly is rated 4+ in the App Store. It does not knowingly collect any data from children, because it does not knowingly collect any data from anyone.
Data retention and deletion
All Briskly data lives on your device. To delete it: delete the Briskly app. iOS will remove the app's storage, including all photos and session history. There is no remote copy to ask us to delete because there is no remote copy.
Changes to this policy
If we change what we collect, this page will be updated and the change will be called out in the app's release notes. We will not start collecting anything new quietly, and we will never start collecting your photos.
