Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 24, 2026

BitBuilder is a tool for stand-up comedians to write material, build setlists, and track performances. It is built to keep your work private. BitBuilder has no accounts, runs no servers of its own, and does not use any advertising or analytics or tracking SDKs. This policy explains the data the app handles and where it goes.

What stays on your device

Everything you create — bits, ideas, setlists, recordings, show logs, club notes — is stored locally on your device. If you have iCloud enabled, this data also syncs through your own private iCloud account (Apple iCloud / CloudKit), which only you can access. We never receive a copy of it.

Microphone & recordings

With your permission, BitBuilder records audio so you can capture sets and voice notes. Recordings are saved on your device (and your private iCloud, if enabled). They are not uploaded to the developer or any third party.

Speech recognition

When you transcribe a voice note, BitBuilder uses Apple's Speech Recognition. Depending on your device, audio may be processed by Apple to perform the transcription, subject to Apple's Privacy Policy. The developer does not receive your audio or transcripts.

Location

If you grant location access, BitBuilder uses your location only while you are using the app to find and suggest nearby comedy clubs — for example, when you log a show or save a recording. These venue searches are performed through Apple Maps (MapKit) and are handled by Apple under Apple's Privacy Policy. The developer never receives your location. You can decline or revoke location access at any time in iOS Settings.

Maps & venue information

BitBuilder uses Apple MapKit to search for comedy venues and to show venue details and photos, including Apple's Look Around imagery. When you search for or open a venue, the relevant place or location information is sent to Apple to return those results, subject to Apple's Privacy Policy. The developer does not receive this information.

AI line-tagging

BitBuilder can label the lines of a bit (setup, punchline, tag, and so on). This runs entirely on your device using Apple's on-device intelligence. The text of your bits is never sent to the developer or any third-party server for tagging — it stays on your phone.

Purchases

BitBuilder is a one-time paid app. Purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store; the developer does not receive your payment details. There are no in-app purchases or subscriptions.

Your data & deleting it

Because your content lives on your device and in your own iCloud, you stay in control of it:

• Delete any bit, idea, recording, set, show log, or club from within the app.
• Deleting BitBuilder from your device removes its local data.
• Any iCloud copies live in your personal iCloud account — manage or delete them in iOS Settings under your name → iCloud.

The developer holds no copy of your data, so there is nothing for us to access, export, or delete on your behalf.

Information we do not collect

• No name, email, or account — there is no sign-up.
• No advertising identifiers, no ad networks.
• No analytics, telemetry, or usage tracking.
• We do not sell or share your data with data brokers.

Children

BitBuilder is not directed to children under 13 and does not knowingly collect information from them.

Changes

If this policy changes, the "Last updated" date above will change accordingly. Material changes will be reflected on this page.
