Keyboard Studio Privacy Policy

Product scope

This policy applies to Keyboard Studio, including the containing App and the Keyboard Extension, for iPhone and iPad. It describes data practices of the developer of Keyboard Studio and the App itself. It does not describe every form of diagnostic or system data that Apple or the operating system may process independently of the developer.

Developer collection practices

Keyboard Studio does not collect, transmit, sell, or share typed text. The developer does not operate a backend service that receives keystrokes, document content, Quick Phrases, Personal Dictionary entries, or keyboard settings from Keyboard Studio.

Local storage

Quick Phrases, Personal Dictionary entries, custom themes, and settings are stored locally. Data created or configured in Keyboard Studio remains on your device, subject to normal iOS storage behavior and optional local App Group sharing described below.

Typed text

Keyboard Studio does not collect, transmit, sell, or share typed text. There is no feature that uploads keystrokes to the developer or to a remote service.

Document context

Keyboard Studio does not transmit surrounding document context. The App and Keyboard Extension are not designed to send surrounding text from documents or input fields to a remote destination.

Quick Phrases

Quick Phrases you create are stored locally. When Full Access is enabled, phrases created in the containing App may be available to the Keyboard Extension through the local App Group container. Quick Phrases are not uploaded by Keyboard Studio.

Personal Dictionary

Personal Dictionary entries you create are stored locally. When Full Access is enabled, entries created in the containing App may be available to the Keyboard Extension through the local App Group container. Personal Dictionary data is not uploaded by Keyboard Studio.

Themes and preferences

Themes, layout choices, sound preferences, haptic preferences, and related settings are stored locally. With Full Access enabled, settings saved in the containing App may synchronize to the Keyboard Extension through the local App Group container.

Bundled ESDB lexicon

The built-in ESDB lexicon is bundled in the Keyboard Extension and operates offline. English Speller Database (ESDB), formerly SCOWL, is included for local lexicon features. Full license and attribution are available offline inside the Keyboard Studio App. Keyboard Studio does not claim ownership of ESDB.

Full Access

Full Access is optional. Without Full Access, basic typing, the bundled offline lexicon, gestures, layouts, and safe defaults remain available.

Full Access may allow the Keyboard Extension to read locally shared settings, Quick Phrases, and Personal Dictionary data from the App Group container and to request system keyboard click audio.

Full Access does not activate a network feature. Full Access does not enable networking in Keyboard Studio. Keyboard Studio contains no feature that uploads keystrokes.

App Group synchronization

When Full Access is enabled, settings, Quick Phrases, and Personal Dictionary data may synchronize between the containing App and the Keyboard Extension through a local App Group container on the device. This synchronization is local and is not a cloud synchronization service operated by Keyboard Studio.

Keyboard click audio

When Full Access is enabled and related settings are turned on, Keyboard Studio may request system keyboard click audio. Full Access is not limited to sound; it may also allow local reading of shared settings, Quick Phrases, and Personal Dictionary data as described above.

Network access

Keyboard Studio contains no network feature for uploading keystrokes, phrases, dictionary entries, themes, or settings. Full Access does not enable networking in Keyboard Studio.

Analytics, tracking, and advertising

Keyboard Studio does not include analytics, tracking, or advertising for the purpose of collecting typed text or user behavior for the developer. There is no advertising in Keyboard Studio.

Third-party SDKs

Keyboard Studio contains no analytics SDK, advertising SDK, account service, or cloud synchronization service.

Accounts and cloud services

Keyboard Studio does not provide an account system and does not operate a cloud synchronization service for keyboard data. Features described in this policy rely on local storage and, where enabled, local App Group sharing.

Children

Keyboard Studio is a general-audience keyboard product. The developer does not knowingly collect personal information from children through Keyboard Studio, because the App is not designed to collect personal information from users.

Data deletion

Deleting the App may remove locally stored App data and settings, subject to normal iOS behavior. Because Keyboard Studio does not maintain a developer-operated cloud copy of your phrases, dictionary entries, or settings, there is no separate remote deletion request process for that data.

Changes to this policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. The Last Updated date at the top of this page will change when updates are published on this website. Continued use of Keyboard Studio after an update means you should review the revised policy.
