Protact

Privacy Policy

Effective DRAFT, not yet published. Applies to the Protact iOS app and its share extension.

The short version

• Protact keeps your contacts, notes, follow-ups, and screenshots on your iPhone. We do not run a server that stores them.
• Protact has no accounts, no ads, no analytics, and no tracking.
• Screenshots leave your phone only if you turn on cloud AI analysis and accept the consent screen. They then go to OpenRouter for processing.

Information stored on your device

Everything you enter or import into Protact is saved in a database on your iPhone: names, phone numbers, email addresses, social profiles, notes, where and when you met, pipeline stages, follow-up reminders, and screenshots you import. iCloud sync is off, so this data is not copied to iCloud by Protact. It is included in your normal iPhone backups.

Permissions Protact asks for

• Contacts. Protact reads your iPhone contacts to find new ones (for example, a contact received with NameDrop) so you can review them. Protact writes to your iPhone contacts only if you turn on contact sync.
• Location (while using the app). When you save a contact, Protact can record where you were. To suggest a place name, the location is sent to Apple Maps search. Apple's privacy policy covers that request.
• Photos. If you turn on screenshot import, Protact reads screenshots from your library and copies the ones you choose into the app.
• Notifications. Follow-up reminders are scheduled on your iPhone. No push server is involved.

Every permission is optional. Protact still works without them; the feature that needs the permission is unavailable.

Cloud AI screenshot analysis (optional)

Protact can read a profile or conversation screenshot with AI and fill in contact details. Nothing is sent until you turn this on and accept the consent screen. When it is on:

• The screenshot image and a short instruction are sent over HTTPS to OpenRouter, which passes them to the AI model provider selected in Protact's settings.
• The request uses an OpenRouter API key that you supply. It is stored in your iPhone's Keychain.
• The result (names, handles, and similar details) comes back to your iPhone and is saved there for you to confirm.
• OpenRouter and the model provider handle the request under their own privacy terms. Protact does not receive a copy.

Protact also reads text in screenshots on your iPhone with Apple's built-in text recognition. That processing does not leave the device.

DRAFT NOTE: if beta builds route AI through a Protact proxy or a shared key, this section must change before publishing (who operates the proxy, what it logs, how long, and the per-device identifier it uses).

Sharing

We do not sell or share your information. Information leaves your iPhone only in the cases above, or when you choose to send it yourself (for example, texting a contact or exporting a CSV file).

Deleting your data

Settings > Data > Clear All Data deletes every contact, note, follow-up, and screenshot stored in Protact. Your iPhone contacts are not changed. Deleting the app also deletes its data. To remove a saved OpenRouter key, clear the key field in Settings > Screenshots & AI and save. iOS can keep Keychain items after an app is deleted, so clear the key before deleting the app.

Children

Protact is not directed to children under 13.

Beta testing

If you test Protact through TestFlight, Apple shares crash reports and feedback you choose to send with us, under Apple's TestFlight terms.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted here with a new effective date.
