Privacy Policy
LilPass for iPhone — last updated 14 October 2026
Your cards
The cards you add (name, store, colour, icon, notes, the barcode's number and format, and the store's place if you set a reminder) are stored on your iPhone, inside the app. A copy of the card details is kept in a storage area shared only with LilPass's own widgets, so they can show your barcodes on the Home Screen and Lock Screen. Cards you lock with Face ID show a lock in widgets instead of their barcode.
iCloud sync (optional, off by default)
If you turn on iCloud Sync in Settings, your cards are stored in the private iCloud database of your own Apple Account, so they appear on your other devices. That data is handled by Apple under Apple's privacy policy. LilStudio has no access to it and cannot read it. Turn sync off at any time.
Camera and photos
The camera is used only while you scan a card, to read its barcode. When you import a photo, you choose it in the system photo picker, and LilPass sees only that photo. Barcodes are read on your iPhone. No image is saved, and nothing is uploaded.
Location (only for store reminders)
If you set a store reminder on a card, LilPass asks for location access to show your position on the map and to remind you when you arrive. The reminder is a standard iOS location notification: iOS watches for the place and LilPass never tracks you in the background. Your location never leaves your iPhone. The map itself is Apple Maps. If you never set a reminder, LilPass never asks.
Face ID
Face ID is handled entirely by iOS. LilPass only receives a yes or no answer, and never has access to your face data.
Purchases
The unlimited-cards unlock is bought through the App Store. Apple processes the payment. LilPass only checks with Apple whether the unlock is owned, and never sees your payment details.
Settings
Your preferences (sort order, brightness boost, app lock, sync on or off) are saved locally using the standard iOS preferences system. Deleting the app removes them, along with any cards not synced to iCloud.
What LilPass does not do
- It does not send your cards, barcodes or photos to LilStudio or anyone else.
- It does not track your location or use it for anything but the reminders you set.
- It does not use analytics, advertising, tracking, or third-party SDKs.
- It does not access your contacts or microphone.
Children
LilPass is suitable for all ages and collects no data from anyone, including children under 13.
Changes to this policy
If this policy ever changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new date. Material changes will also be described in the app's release notes on the App Store.
