PRIVACY POLICY
FindDrop Privacy Policy
Effective: November 12, 2026 / Last updated: November 12, 2026
myulabs (“we”) sets out this privacy policy (“this Policy”) for how user information is handled in FindDrop for iPhone, iPad and Mac (“the App”).
The App is a place to set down and keep screenshots, photos, links, text and files. We run no servers and there is no sign-up. What you save is stored only on your devices (and, if you turn on sync, in your own iCloud). We never collect or see it.
In short
- No data is sent to our servers.
- No advertising, analytics or crash-reporting tools.
- Text recognition, summaries and similar processing happen on your device.
- Information about saved links is fetched directly from each website by your device.
1. Information stored on your device
The App stores the following on your device. We never receive it.
- What you save (images, videos, PDFs and other files, text, URLs) and its titles, notes, tags, stars and expiry
- Spaces, products (resale), import rules, templates, and edit steps (originals are kept; edits are stored separately)
- Text recognized in images, dates and amounts found, link titles, images, text and summaries, thumbnails, and site icons (favicons)
- Settings and a record of your purchases
Items received from the share sheet (share extension) or Shortcuts are passed to the App through an area on your device (App Group). Items in Drop are deleted on your device when they expire, then kept in Recently Deleted for the number of days you set (7 by default, up to 30) before being removed for good.
2. Processing on your device
The following all happen on your device (using Apple's Vision, Core Image and Foundation Models frameworks), and nothing is sent outside.
- Text recognition (OCR) in images, QR code and barcode reading
- Detecting text that looks like personal information, such as phone numbers and email addresses (Smart Mask)
- Background removal and edits such as mosaic and blur
- Link summaries and short titles (only on devices that support Apple Intelligence)
- Finding dates and amounts in text, and search
3. Communication with websites
When you save a URL, the App fetches the title, image, text and site icon directly from that website on your device, not through our servers. As with any browser, the website receives the information needed to communicate (such as your IP address). Each website's own policies apply to how it handles information.
4. Photos, camera, calendar and other access
| Camera | When you take photos in the App |
|---|---|
| Photos (add only) | When you choose to save to Photos |
| Photos (read and write) | When deleting photos you imported from Photos, or screenshots matching ones you shared to the App, from Photos (each deletion goes through the iOS confirmation and moves items to Recently Deleted) |
| Calendar | When you create an event from a found date. The iOS event screen opens and the event is added only if you save it |
| Notifications | Deadline reminders (local notifications) and receiving changes from your other devices for iCloud sync (silent) |
| Files and folders (Mac) | Only folders you choose (screenshot import, export and backup) |
The App does not use location permission. Depending on the export format (such as marketplace formats), location and other data in photos is removed; exporting “as is” keeps the original file's information.
5. iCloud sync
On a paid plan (Plus or Pro) with iCloud Sync turned on, what you save (including files), information such as spaces, products, tags and notes, and some settings are stored in Apple's iCloud (your own private area, the CloudKit private database) and synced between devices on the same Apple Account. We cannot see this content, and it is never stored on our servers. Apple's privacy policy applies to iCloud. You can turn sync off at any time; your data stays on your device.
6. Working with other apps
- Items sent to the App from the share sheet are passed on your device. When you share from the App, iOS passes items to the app you choose.
- If you choose actions such as Open in Parail or Send to Cue, that app opens and receives the item's URL, title and notes, without going through our servers.
- In-app purchases are processed by Apple Inc. (StoreKit). We never receive your name or payment information. Purchases are checked on your device.
7. Sharing with third parties
Because we do not collect your information, we never provide or sell it to third parties. The communication and hand-offs in sections 3 and 6 happen directly from your device to each website or app, in response to your actions.
8. What the App does not do
- Collect the advertising identifier (IDFA) or track you across apps for advertising
- Use analytics or crash-reporting tools
- Send or store what you save, recognized text or anything you type on our servers
- Sell your data
9. Deleting your data
You can delete saved items in the App at any time (they can be restored from Recently Deleted for the number of days you set, 7 by default and up to 30). Deleting the App removes its data from your device. Before that, you can export everything as a zip file with Backup in Settings. Data synced to iCloud can be deleted after turning sync off, from Settings → (your name) → iCloud on your iPhone.
10. Children
The App does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
11. Changes to this Policy
We may revise this Policy when necessary. We will announce important changes in the App or on this page. Revised versions take effect when posted on this page.
12. Contact
For questions about this Policy or how the App handles information, please email us.
