Privacy Policy
The short version: Coo doesn't collect your data. What you log stays on your devices and in your own iCloud account. We have no servers and no analytics, and we can't see your baby's log.
What Coo stores
To do its job, Coo stores what you enter:
- Baby profile: name, birth date, due date, sex and an optional photo.
- Logged events: feeds, diapers, sleep, growth measurements, medicines, pumping, tummy time, baths, vaccines and notes, with their times and details.
- Story: the photos you add, with the date each one was taken.
- Settings: custom events you name, units and your caregiver role. Coo also keeps a random identifier on your device so it can tell which caregiver logged an entry.
Where it's stored
Your data is stored on your iPhone. If you're signed in to iCloud, Coo also syncs it to your private iCloud database so it can appear on your other devices. Apple runs iCloud, and Apple's Privacy Policy covers it. The developer of Coo has no server and no access to your iCloud data.
Sharing with other caregivers
Your log is shared only if you invite someone with Share Log. When you do:
- Everyone you invite can see and edit the whole log, including photos.
- Everyone in the log can see each other's iCloud name. If someone has no name set, their email address or phone number is shown instead.
- The owner can remove a caregiver at any time, and caregivers can leave a log at any time. A caregiver who leaves keeps a copy of everything logged up to then.
Apple's iCloud sharing handles this. Coo's developer doesn't receive the data, and isn't told who you share with.
Photos
Coo uses Apple's photo picker, which gives Coo only the photos you pick and not your library. Coo reads the date a photo was taken, then saves a resized copy. Location and all other metadata are removed from that copy.
Apple Watch and widgets
Coo sends a short summary, such as when the last feed was and whether the baby is asleep, to your paired Apple Watch, and shows it in widgets. This stays on your own devices.
No analytics, ads or tracking
Coo has no analytics, crash reporting, advertising or third-party code. It doesn't track you across apps or websites, and nothing is sold or shared with data brokers. Coo doesn't ask for your location, contacts, camera, health data or notifications.
Things you choose to share
Some features hand data to other apps, and only when you act:
- Export creates a text or CSV file and opens the share sheet. You choose where it goes, and that app or person's privacy practices apply from there.
- Copy AI Prompt (when importing from another app) only copies a prompt to your clipboard. If you paste it, with your log, into an AI service, that service's privacy policy applies. Coo doesn't send anything itself.
- Send Sync Report creates a technical log of recent sync activity that you can choose to send to us when asking for help.
- Health tip sources in Explore link to outside websites, such as the CDC, WHO and NHS, which have their own privacy policies.
Children
Coo is made for parents and caregivers, not for children to use. Information about your baby is handled exactly as this policy describes: on your devices and in your iCloud, and never collected by us.
Deleting your data
- Delete any entry or photo in the app. If you share the log, it's deleted for everyone in it.
- Stop sharing by removing caregivers, or leave a shared log, in Profile › Share Log.
- Deleting the app removes the data on that device.
- To remove what's stored in iCloud, go to Settings › [your name] › iCloud and manage your account storage. Choose Coo there, if it's listed, and delete its data.
We don't hold a copy of your data, so we can't restore anything you delete.
Changes to this policy
If Coo's handling of data changes, we'll update this page and the effective date above. A significant change will also be noted in the app's release notes.
