Privacy policy for Drawers

Last updated: 26 October 2026

Drawers is an app for keeping photos, videos, files and notes in drawers, separate from your main photo library. This policy explains what happens to your information.

The short version

• Drawers has no accounts, no ads, no analytics and no tracking.
• We do not collect, see, sell or share your photos, files, notes or any other personal information.
• Your content stays on your phone. If you turn on iCloud backup, a copy is stored in your own private iCloud storage.

What the app stores, and where

Photos, videos, files, notes, voice notes, drawer names and your settings are stored on your device, inside the app. They are not sent to us or to any server we run.

iCloud backup (optional)

If you turn on iCloud backup, Drawers saves a copy of your drawers to the private iCloud storage tied to your own Apple ID, using Apple’s CloudKit service. The copy is encrypted, is not visible in the Files app, and can only be opened by Drawers on a device signed in to your Apple ID. We cannot see or access it. Apple’s own privacy policy applies to iCloud.

Backups use your iCloud storage, and you can delete them at any time in Settings > your name > iCloud > Manage Storage. Items you delete in Drawers are removed from the backup after 10 days.

Permissions

• Camera: to take photos. Photos are saved inside Drawers, not in your Photos library.
• Photo library: only when you choose to import photos or videos, or use Cleanup to sort your library. Drawers can delete photos from your library only after you confirm.
• Microphone: to record voice notes. Recordings stay in the app.
• Face ID: to open the Safe. Face ID is handled by iOS, and Drawers never receives your face data. The Safe PIN is stored only as a protected, scrambled value in your device’s Keychain, and is included, encrypted, in your iCloud backup if you turn it on.
• Files and other apps: when you pick a file or share something to Drawers, a copy is added to the drawer you choose.

Children

Drawers does not collect information from anyone, including children.

Changes

If this policy changes, we will update this page and the date above.
