Privacy Policy

Landline — Rotary Dial Phone · Effective August 7, 2026

The short version

Landline has no accounts, no advertising, and no cross-app tracking. Your photos, contacts and dialing all stay on your device. Two things do leave it: anonymous crash reports and anonymous usage counts, described below. Neither is tied to your identity, and neither is used to track you.

What stays on your device

• Speed-dial entries. If you add a contact to the speed-dial card, you pick it through Apple's system contact picker; the app receives only the single name and number you chose and stores it locally. Landline never requests access to your contacts database.
• Settings and stats. Preferences (volume, haptics, room motion) and local play statistics are stored on your device only.
• The photo you hang in the frame. If you choose a picture for the wall frame, it is copied into the app's private storage, restyled for each phone's era on your device, and never uploaded anywhere. Removing it through the Picture Frame controls deletes the copy and every styled version.

What leaves your device

• Crash diagnostics (Sentry). If the app crashes, a report with the crash stack, device model and iOS version is sent so the bug can be fixed. It carries no name, email, account, photo or phone number.
• Anonymous usage counts (TelemetryDeck). Counts of actions like opening the app, finishing a dial, switching phones, or viewing the unlock screen, so we know which parts of the museum get used. Identifiers are hashed on-device, there is no advertising ID, and nothing is shared with data brokers or used for advertising.

Neither service receives the numbers you dial, your contacts, or your photo. Because Landline does not track you across other companies' apps or websites, it never shows Apple's tracking permission prompt.

Calls

When you choose to call a number you dialed, Landline hands the number to Apple's Phone app. Landline itself places no calls and keeps no call history.

Purchases

Landline sells a single one-time unlock, processed by Apple through your Apple Account. There is no subscription. Landline receives no payment details; Apple tells the app only whether the unlock has been bought.

Share clips

Videos you export are rendered on your device and go only where you send them through the system share sheet. Replays use bundled room artwork and leave out your personal photo and saved contacts. Nothing is uploaded by the app.

Changes

If a future version ever changes any of the above, this page and the App Store privacy label will be updated first.
