Bygone: Privacy
Last updated November 15, 2026.
Bygone collects no data. Your photos never leave your phone. There is no account, no upload, no analytics and no advertising. The App Store label for Bygone reads "Data Not Collected", and this page explains what that means in practice.
What Bygone stores, and where. To show you 30 decisions a day and remember where you are, Bygone keeps a small record on your iPhone: which photos you've decided on, what you chose, and how long the decision took. It never stores a copy of a photo. This record stays in Bygone's own storage on your phone. It is included in your iPhone's own backups (iCloud Backup or your computer), as all app data is, and deleting Bygone deletes it.
What leaves your phone. Nothing Bygone does sends your photos, or anything about them, anywhere. Four things involve Apple, not us:
- iCloud Photos. If your library is in iCloud, iPhone may download a photo from your own iCloud account so Bygone can show it to you. That transfer is between your phone and Apple.
- The purchase. Buying or restoring Bygone goes through the App Store. We receive no payment details and no information about you.
- Crash reports. If you've chosen to share analytics with app developers in your iPhone's settings, Apple may send us anonymous crash reports. They contain no photos and nothing about your library. You can turn this off in Settings › Privacy & Security › Analytics & Improvements.
- Sharing. If you share a photo, your iPhone sends it where you choose, without its location. Bygone never learns where it went.
Reminders. If you turn on reminders, they're scheduled on your iPhone. No server is involved.
Deleting photos. Bygone deletes a photo only after you've reviewed it and confirmed in iPhone's own dialog. Deleted photos go to Recently Deleted in the Photos app for 30 days.
Children. Bygone collects no data from anyone, including children.
Changes. If this ever changes (for example, if a future version adds analytics), this page and the App Store label will change in the same release, before any data is sent.
