Lil Nom Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 2026

Overview

Lil Nom is a privacy-first baby food tracking app. All your data is stored locally on your device and automatically backed up through your device's iCloud backup. We do not collect, access, or transmit any of your personal information.

Data Storage

All information you enter in Lil Nom—including meal logs, recipes, ingredients, freezer inventory, and your baby's information—is stored exclusively on your device in a local database. This data never leaves your device except through:

Automatic iCloud Backup: Your device automatically backs up the app's data as part of your standard iOS/iPadOS backup. This is handled entirely by Apple's operating system and follows your device's backup settings.
Manual Export: You can manually export your data as CSV or JSON files through the app's export feature.

Data Collection

Lil Nom does not collect any data. Specifically:

❌ No analytics or usage tracking
❌ No crash reporting services
❌ No advertising networks
❌ No user accounts or registration
❌ No servers or cloud databases (operated by us)
❌ No personal information collection
❌ No device identifiers collected
❌ No location tracking

iCloud Backup

When you enable iCloud backup on your device (Settings → [Your Name] → iCloud → iCloud Backup), iOS automatically backs up the app's data along with your other app data. This backup:

Is encrypted and stored in your personal iCloud account
Is controlled by you through iOS Settings
Restores automatically when you set up a new device from backup
Is managed entirely by Apple's iOS, not by our app
Follows Apple's iCloud Privacy Policy

We do not have access to your iCloud backups. The backup is between your device and Apple's iCloud service.

Third-Party Services

Lil Nom does not integrate with, connect to, or share data with any third-party services. The app functions entirely offline and does not require an internet connection.

Children's Privacy

While Lil Nom is designed to help parents track their baby's solid food journey, the app is intended for use by adults (parents and caregivers). The app does not knowingly collect information from children under 13.

The information you enter about your child (such as name and birthdate) is stored only on your device and is never transmitted to us or any third party.

Data Security

Your data security is maintained through:

Local Storage: All data stays on your device, encrypted by iOS
iCloud Backup: When enabled, backups are encrypted in your iCloud account
No Network Transmission: No data is sent to external servers
Device Security: Protected by your device's passcode/Face ID/Touch ID

Your Rights and Control

You have complete control over your data:

Access: All your data is visible within the app at any time
Export: You can export all data as CSV or JSON files
Delete Individual Items: Delete specific recipes, meals, or batches anytime
Delete All Data: Use "Delete All Data" in Settings to permanently erase everything
Uninstall: Deleting the app removes all local data (backups remain in iCloud until you delete them)

Data Retention

Data is retained:

On your device: Until you delete it or uninstall the app
In iCloud backups: According to your iCloud backup settings (typically until you delete the backup or stop backing up)

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy to reflect changes in the app or legal requirements. Updates will be posted with a new "Last updated" date. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

Compliance

This app complies with:

Apple App Store Guidelines
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) principles
California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) principles
