Sprout
Privacy policy
Last updated: 5 November 2026.
Sprout ("Sprout", "the app") is a study planner, focus timer and flashcard trainer. This policy explains what happens to your information in the iPhone app.
The short version
Everything you enter in Sprout stays on your iPhone. Sprout has no accounts, no ads, no analytics and no tracking, and it sends nothing to us or to anyone else.
What Sprout stores, on your device
- Your name and class, goals and subjects.
- Tasks, study sessions and focus history, flashcards and review progress, exam dates, and your chosen design, clock face and sound settings.
This data lives in Sprout's private storage on your iPhone, shared only with its own widgets and share extension. Deleting the app deletes it. If you use iCloud Backup, your iPhone backup includes this data; Apple handles that backup under your Apple Account settings. You can also export or import your own backup file from Settings; where that file goes is your choice.
Permissions
- Notifications: optional, used only for the study reminders and focus break notes you turn on. They are created on your iPhone; there is no push server.
- Share to Sprout: if you choose "Share" in another app and pick Sprout, the text you selected is turned into flashcards on your iPhone. Sprout only sees what you choose to share.
Sprout does not request your location, contacts, camera, microphone or photos.
Purchases
Sprout Pro is bought through the App Store. Apple handles your payment; Sprout only learns, on your device, which purchases your Apple Account owns, never your card or payment details. A subscription renews until you cancel it in Settings › Apple Account › Subscriptions.
Children
Sprout collects no personal information from anyone, including children. Because nothing leaves your iPhone, there is nothing to share or sell.
Third parties
None. Sprout contains no advertising, analytics or crash-reporting services. Apple may share anonymous crash and usage statistics with developers if you have allowed it in iOS Settings › Privacy & Security › Analytics & Improvements.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be published at the same address with a new date.
