Last updated 9 August 2026 · iOS app and keyboard extension

AliasKey has no account, no identifier and no analytics, and it collects nothing about you. Neither the app nor the keyboard contains networking code, so nothing leaves your iPhone at all.

Data collected

None. There is no account, no sign in, no profile and no identifier of any kind. Nothing you put in the app is sent anywhere, because there is nowhere for it to be sent to.

Network

None. Not one request. There is no networking code in the app or in the keyboard extension, which is why iOS never shows a local-network or tracking prompt for AliasKey. This is not a promise about what we do with data in transit; there is no transit.

Full Access

The keyboard does not request it. Full Access is the permission that would let a keyboard read what you type and reach the network, and it is not in the app, so there is nothing for you to grant and nothing to revoke. The keyboard reads your saved aliases and writes the one you tap into the field you are in.

Clipboard

Touched in exactly one place: the Paste button on the batch import screen, which you press yourself and which the system fills for you. The keyboard extension never reads the clipboard. The app writes to it when you tap Copy on an alias, which is the point of that button.

Analytics & tracking

None. No usage counts leave the device, no events, no crash reporting, no advertising identifier, no third-party SDK of any kind. Nothing about you is measured or shared with anyone for any purpose.

Children

AliasKey is rated 4+ and collects no data from anyone, including children.

What stays on the device

Everything the app holds lives in its own storage on your iPhone, in a container shared with the keyboard so that both can read the same list:

The aliases you add, with their names, notes, favourites, topics and countries
A usage count per alias, so the keyboard can put the ones you actually use near the top
Your settings: which axes you use, whether the samples are shown, which app icon you chose
An automatic backup, rewritten after every change, and the last fifty versions of it

If iCloud Backup is switched on, that container is included in your own device backup, encrypted under your Apple Account. That is Apple's backup rather than ours, and we cannot read it. If you choose a folder for the optional off-device copy, copies are written there; that folder is yours, and where it syncs, if anywhere, is your choice.

Third-party services

There are none. No analytics provider, no crash reporter, no advertising network, no font or icon service fetched at runtime, no cloud of ours. The app ships with everything it draws.

The only third-party material in it is artwork: the country flags come from FlagKit under the MIT licence and are bundled with the app, not downloaded. AliasKey itself is free software under GPL-3.0-or-later, so the claims on this page can be checked in the source rather than taken on trust.

Data retention and deletion

Because nothing is collected and there is no server, there is nothing for us to retain and no request is needed to delete it. Everything the app keeps lives on your device for as long as the app is installed.

Deleting the app removes all of it: your aliases, your categories, your settings and every backup copy inside the app. If you granted a folder for off-device copies, the files already written there are yours and stay where they are; the app never deletes anything inside a folder you granted, even when you use Delete everything.

Inside the app, Export a copy writes you the whole library as JSON or CSV, and Delete everything removes it, behind three confirmations, permanently.
