BucketsPrivacy policy
Effective date: November 9, 2026
This policy covers the Buckets app and this website, published by Optimum Data Solutions, Inc..
The app
Everything Buckets knows is kept on this phone. There is no account, and your objects are not uploaded.
It requests access to your contacts, photos and calendar in order to list them. Access is read-only.
Sharing with other users and online copies are not part of the app.
A distance search (“who lives within 8 km of me”) sends the address to your phone’s map service to find out where it is, and asks your phone where you are. If you never ask a distance question, nothing is sent. The map itself is drawn from squares fetched from OpenStreetMap as you look at it; the addresses are not sent there.
Premium recognition happens on the phone too: faces, places, objects and text are read here, and no picture is sent anywhere.
Internet connections
Apart from a distance search and the map, the app connects to the internet only to read a place shared to it from Google Maps, whose link is opened once at Google to find the place's address. A link on a contact card opens in your browser or its own app only when you tap it.
Purchases
This website sells nothing and takes no payments. Premium is bought in the App Store, Google Play or Galaxy Store once Buckets is listed there. The store takes the payment under its own privacy policy; Buckets never sees card or payment details.
Suggestions
Send a suggestion in the app opens your own mail app with an email to us, which adds the app version, the phone's system and how many objects and buckets Buckets holds. Nothing is sent until you send it. What you write is used only to answer you and to improve the app.
Keeping and deleting
What Buckets keeps is on your phone; removing the app or clearing its data deletes it. A backup file you write is kept wherever you save it.
Children
Buckets is for a general audience. It asks no one, child or adult, for a name, an email address or any other personal information.
This website
The site uses Cloudflare Web Analytics, which counts page views and referrers without cookies or fingerprinting. There are no advertising pixels, session recordings or other trackers.
Changes
A change to this policy is posted on this page with a new effective date.
