Doodlepad Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 23, 2026
In short
- Doodlepad does not collect your data. The developer never sees your boards.
- Your boards stay on your devices and, if you use iCloud, in your own private iCloud.
- No account, no ads, no analytics, no tracking.
- Purchases go through Apple. The developer never gets your payment details.
What Doodlepad stores
Everything you make in Doodlepad is stored on your iPhone or iPad: boards and folders, ink, text, sticky notes, shapes, pictures, formulas and the PDFs you add. Your settings, such as your pen sizes and the paper you picked last, are stored on each device.
iCloud sync
If you are signed in to iCloud, your boards and folders sync between your devices through Apple's iCloud, in your own private iCloud database. Only you can see it, not the developer. Apple's privacy policy covers how iCloud stores your data.
To stop syncing, turn off Doodlepad in the Settings app under your name → iCloud.
Camera, Photos and Files
- Camera: used only when you tap Camera to put a photo on a board. The photo is saved in that board.
- Photos: you choose pictures with Apple's photo picker, so Doodlepad only gets the pictures you pick. It can't see the rest of your library.
- Saving to Photos: only when you choose Save Image in the share sheet. Doodlepad asks first and can only add pictures, not read them.
- Files: a PDF you choose is copied into its board.
Reading handwriting
When you turn handwriting into a text box, Apple's text recognition reads it on your device. Nothing is sent anywhere.
Doodlepad Pro
Doodlepad Pro is a one-time purchase through the App Store. Apple handles the payment. The app only learns whether Pro is unlocked for your Apple Account, and the developer never gets your name, email or payment details.
What Doodlepad doesn't do
- No analytics, crash trackers or advertising.
- No tracking across other apps or websites.
- No selling or sharing of data, because none is collected.
Deleting your data
- Delete a board in the app. It waits in Recently Deleted for 7, 30 or 90 days (you choose in Settings), then it's gone. You can also delete it for good right away.
- Deleting the app removes everything stored on that device.
- To remove Doodlepad's data from iCloud too, open the Settings app, then your name → iCloud → Manage Storage → Doodlepad.
