Privacy Policy — Zeide's Table

Last updated: July 28, 2026

Zeide's Table is one of the Derekh Learning family of companion apps. It has no account and no sign-in. This page explains exactly what this specific app does — and does not do — with your information. For the company-wide policy covering our website, web app, and main iOS app, see the Derekh Learning Privacy Policy.

What Zeide's Table collects

Nothing. The App Store privacy label is Data Not Collected.

Recording family stories is the heart of this app, and our promise is simple: nothing is shared without your permission.

Where your data lives

  • Audio recordings, photos, transcripts, and speaker profiles are stored in the app's own storage on this phone — and, if you have iCloud Backup on, in your own private iCloud under your Apple account, never ours.
  • Transcription happens on your device using Apple's on-device speech recognition — audio is never sent anywhere to be transcribed.
  • Apple Intelligence features run entirely on your device. If your iPhone supports them, the app can suggest a story title, an index, a follow-up question, or a draft chapter opening. There is no cloud model and no network path: no transcript text goes anywhere.
  • Export, "send this story", printing, and the passphrase-locked safe copy are actions you take. A file you choose to share is not data we collect. A forgotten passphrase cannot be recovered by anyone, including us.

Services this app connects to

  • Hebcal (hebcal.com) — a public Jewish-calendar API, for Hebrew dates, holidays, and times. Requests are generic; no personal data is sent. (a generic date conversion for the archive; no recordings or personal data are sent).
  • Derekh Learning content service — a read-only request that returns already-published, shared Torah content (a lesson, verse, or card). The request sends nothing about you. (the weekly question).

Permissions

  • Microphone — "Used to record family stories. Recordings stay on your device unless you choose to export them."
  • Speech Recognition — "Used to transcribe recordings into text on your device. Audio is never sent anywhere for transcription."

No accounts, no analytics, no ads

This app has no login and no user account. It contains no third-party analytics or advertising SDKs, and it does not track you across other apps or websites. There is no advertising identifier (IDFA) use.

Children's privacy

This app is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will take reasonable steps to address it.

Data retention

Because this app keeps your information on your device, we do not hold it. Data stored on your device is removed when you delete the app (subject to any device or iCloud backups, which are under your control).

Your choices

You can manage any permissions this app uses (such as location or microphone) at any time in iOS Settings, and the app keeps working without them wherever possible. Deleting the app removes its on-device data.

Changes to this policy

We may update this page from time to time. When we do, we will change the "last updated" date at the top.
