Effective October 12, 2026

QuoteWidget is made by Axel Sjaunja. This policy explains what happens to your information when you use the QuoteWidget app on iPhone, iPad and Mac.

The short version

QuoteWidget does not collect any personal data. There is no account, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking. Your quotes and settings stay on your own devices.

What stays on your device

• Your quotes, folders, favourites, who said each quote, and your settings are stored on your device, in a space shared only with QuoteWidget's own widgets and share extension.
• Photos you choose as a widget background are copied into that space and never uploaded.
• When you scan a quote with the camera or from a photo, the text is read on your device. The picture is not saved or sent anywhere.
• Quote notifications are scheduled on your device.
• Mood matching and folder suggestions use Apple Intelligence on your device, where available.

iCloud

If iCloud is turned on for QuoteWidget, your library (quotes, folders and who said them) is stored in your own iCloud account so it is the same on your devices. Apple handles this under its own privacy policy. We cannot see it.

Looking up who said a quote

When you tap the sparkle button next to "Who said it", the app sends the text of that quote to Wikiquote and Wikidata (run by the Wikimedia Foundation) to find the author. Nothing else is sent: no name, account or device identifier. This only happens when you tap the button. Wikimedia's privacy policy is at https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Policy:Privacy_policy.

Searching the web

"Search the web" opens your web browser with a search for the quote. From then on, that search engine's own privacy policy applies.

Sharing

When you share a quote, an image or a folder, it goes only where you send it, using Apple's share sheet.

Children

QuoteWidget does not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children.
