Privacy policy
Last updated: 8 August 2026
Another Hello is a relationship organiser that runs on your iPhone. Who you know, and what you said to them, is about as personal as a record gets — so the app is built so that none of it comes to us.
This policy is short because there is little to describe. It covers the Another Hello iPhone app and this website.
What we collect: nothing
Nothing. There is no account and no sign-up: you install the app and start using it. There are no analytics, no usage tracking, no crash-reporting service, no third-party SDKs and no advertising identifiers. We do not build a profile of you, because we have nothing to build one from.
We do not know how many notes you have written, who you have added, or whether you opened the app today.
Where your data lives
Your records are stored on your device. If you have iCloud enabled, they synchronise through your own private iCloud account, under your own Apple ID, in the same way your Notes and Reminders do.
Another Hello has no servers holding your data. We cannot read your records, restore them, or hand them to anyone else, because we never have them. Apple's iCloud terms and Apple's privacy policy govern that storage — your arrangement there is between you and Apple.
Your device may receive silent notifications from Apple so that iCloud can tell it when there is something new to fetch. They carry no content of their own, and nothing about them reaches us.
Dictation
When you dictate a note, the audio is transcribed into text and then discarded. Where your device and your language support it, that transcription happens entirely on the device.
Where they do not, iOS falls back to Apple's own speech recognition service and the audio is sent to Apple to be transcribed, under Apple's privacy policy. We would rather be exact about this than claim more than the app can deliver.
Either way the audio is never written to disk, and no version of it — recording or transcript — ever comes to us. The text becomes an ordinary record on your device, treated exactly like one you typed.
Follow-up drafting
The app can draft a follow-up message for you. That drafting runs against Apple's on-device model, and is grounded only in the records you created.
Nothing is sent to us and nothing is sent to any third party. Nothing is ever sent on your behalf either: you are always shown the draft, and it goes nowhere until you send it yourself.
When you do send it, you send it with your own tools — copying the text, sharing it, or opening it in Mail. From that moment the message is in the hands of whichever app or service you chose, and is covered by that service's terms rather than ours.
Contacts
When you add someone from your address book, the app uses Apple's own contact picker, which runs outside the app. It hands back only the single contact you chose.
Another Hello does not read the rest of your address book. There is no bulk import, no background scanning and no way for the app to enumerate your contacts.
From the contact you picked, the app copies what you would expect onto a record on your device: name, organisation, job title, email addresses, phone numbers, websites, birthday, the town and country of their address, and their photograph.
Photographs
You can give a person a photograph, either from the contact you imported or from your photo library. Choosing one from your library uses Apple's own photo picker, which also runs outside the app, so Another Hello never gains access to your library — only to the single picture you picked.
Photographs are stored on that person's record, which means they synchronise through your iCloud account along with everything else, and they are included in the JSON export. The CSV export does not include them.
Reminders
If you allow notifications, reminders for your tasks are scheduled by iOS on your own device. Nothing is sent through a server and no reminder passes through us.
By default a reminder names the task, and who or what it concerns — the event that prompted it, or otherwise the people it is about — so those can appear on your lock screen where someone else might see them. You can reduce how much a reminder reveals with the “Lock screen detail” setting inside the app. The text of your notes is never included in a reminder, at any setting.
Subscriptions
Subscriptions are handled entirely by Apple through the App Store. We never see your card number, your billing address or any other payment detail.
Apple tells the app whether a subscription is currently active. It does not tell us who you are.
Diagnostics
The app writes diagnostic logs to help work out what went wrong when something fails. Those logs stay on your device — they are not uploaded, and there is no crash-reporting service collecting them.
They record error descriptions — the message iOS gives back when something fails — and nothing more. They do not record names, note text, or any other content from your records.
Your rights
All of your data is already in your hands, which makes most data rights straightforward to exercise: there is no request to make and nobody to make it to.
You can export your data at any time from Settings inside the app, including if you stop subscribing. The JSON archive is the complete record: every person, business, event, encounter, task, note, contact method, relationship and photograph. The CSV option is a set of spreadsheet-friendly summaries covering people, businesses, events, encounters and tasks — it does not include your notes or your photographs, so choose JSON if you want the lot.
An export is written as a file on your device and goes only where you send it; it stays there until you delete it.
You can erase everything from Settings inside the app, using “Delete app data…”. Deleting the app removes it too, and you can clear what iCloud is holding from your device settings.
We hold no copy of your records, so there is nothing for us to correct, produce or erase on your behalf.
Contact
If anything in this policy is unclear, or you think the app is doing something this page does not describe, please tell us.
