Best Dad
Privacy Policy

This policy covers Best Dad. It sits alongside our general Privacy Policy. Where the two differ for this app, this policy applies.

Who is responsible

The data controller for Best Dad is the developer behind Leap Studio, named on the entity details page.

Contact: contact@leapstudio.dev. We respond within 30 days.

Summary

Nothing leaves your device. Everything you tell the app about your baby stays on the phone.

There is no account, no sign-up and no login. This app makes no network requests.

What leaves your device

This is the complete list. Anything not in this table is not transmitted.

Nothing. This app makes no network requests.

Notes

• Information about your baby's feeding, sleep and development is health information, and it is treated as such: it is never transmitted, and there is nowhere for us to receive it even if we wanted to.
• The AI coach runs on Apple's on-device model. On devices that cannot run it, the app falls back to the written guidance rather than sending anything away.
• Notifications are scheduled locally by the app. There is no push server.
• Best Dad is guidance, not medical advice. It does not diagnose, and every serious section points you to a clinician.

What stays on your device

Your baby's details, your answers and your progress are stored on the device. There is no account, no cloud sync and no server-side copy.

This content does not reach us and we hold no copy of it. Uninstalling the app or erasing your device destroys your content permanently. Use your own device backup if you want it kept.

All model inference happens on your device. Prompts and documents are not transmitted.

Permissions this app asks for

Each can be refused or revoked in Settings. Refusing a permission disables only the feature that requires it.

Photos

Attaching a picture of a label so the Coach can read it. The text is extracted on your device and the image is never uploaded.

Analytics, advertising and tracking

None. This app collects no usage statistics, no crash reports and no telemetry of any kind.

There is no advertising, no advertising identifier, no data broker, no cross-app or cross-site tracking, and no App Tracking Transparency prompt. We do not sell or share personal information, including as those terms are defined by California and other US state privacy laws.

Children

This app is used by a parent. It is about a child but is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. Information you enter about your child is held on your device. See our Children's Privacy notice.

Legal bases (EU and UK)

• Contract — processing a purchase or subscription.
• Consent — optional features you switch on that send data off the device. Withdraw by switching the feature off.
• Legitimate interests — keeping the app working and secure. You may object at any time.
• Legal obligation — tax and consumer-law records.

Health information

What you record about your baby's feeding, sleep and development is health information — sensitive information under Australian Privacy Principle 3, and a special category of personal data under Article 9 of the GDPR. It is not transmitted and we have no means of receiving it.

International transfers

None. No personal information is transferred to any country.

Retention

Content you create in the app is held on your device until you delete it or remove the app. We do not hold it.

Your rights

You may have some or all of the following rights depending on where you live. We honour them for everyone.

Access

Ask what personal information we hold about you and get a copy of it.

Correction

Ask us to fix anything inaccurate, out of date or incomplete.

Erasure

Ask us to delete personal information we hold. In this app, uninstalling it deletes your content directly, because we never had a copy.

Restriction and objection

Ask us to stop or limit a particular use, including any use based on our legitimate interests.

Portability

Receive the personal information you gave us in a structured, machine-readable format.

Withdraw consent

Where we rely on consent, withdraw it at any time. This does not affect anything done before you withdrew it.

Complain

Take the matter to a privacy regulator without going through us first.

Requests are free of charge and we will not discriminate against you for making one. Write to contact@leapstudio.dev.

We hold no directly identifying information about app users and are often unable to locate records relating to a specific individual.

Data breaches

Where a breach is likely to result in serious harm we will notify you and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner under the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme. Where the GDPR applies we will notify the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours of becoming aware.

Report a security problem to contact@leapstudio.dev. See our Security overview.

Complaints

Contact us at contact@leapstudio.dev. We respond within 30 days. You may also complain to a regulator at any time:

• Australia — Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC)
• European Union — Your national data protection authority
• United Kingdom — Information Commissioner's Office (ICO)

Changes to this policy

Updates are published here with a new date. Material changes are notified in the app before they take effect.
