Mini Milestones · effective October 21, 2026

Mini Milestones is an app for parents to record their baby's developmental milestones. This page explains exactly what the app stores and where it goes.

In short: your data stays on your phone. You don't need to create an account. The app has no ads and no analytics and doesn't track you. The only data that leaves your phone are anonymous crash reports and an optional backup to your own iCloud.

1. Who runs the app

The app is made and maintained by an individual developer (a natural person). Contact: pavlahb@icloud.com.

2. What data the app stores

Only what you enter yourself:

your baby's name and birth date or due date (optional),
milestones: title, date, category, note and an optional photo,
your own milestones (the “Mom” section),
app settings (look, language, enabled reminders, chosen animals).

You choose photos yourself from your library through the system picker. The app sees only the photos you select, not your whole library. The app doesn't collect location, contacts or advertising identifiers.

3. Where the data is stored

By default only on your phone. There is no developer server.

Optional iCloud backup. If you turn it on, your data is backed up to your private iCloud (Apple CloudKit) so you have it on another device or after reinstalling. It is your iCloud under your Apple ID. The developer has no access to this data. Nothing is sent to iCloud unless you turn the backup on.

4. Crash reports

The app uses Firebase Crashlytics (Google), which sends an anonymous technical report when the app crashes: device type, iOS version and technical information about where the app crashed. The report contains no baby name, milestones or photos and isn't linked to your identity. Analytics and advertising are turned off. Google may process this technical data outside the EU.

5. How the data is used

Only so the app can show you the timeline, cards and age-based suggestions, and so you can share milestones if you want to. The data is never sold, used for advertising or profiling.

6. Purchases

In-app purchases (animal packs, seasons and more) are one-time and handled by Apple through the App Store. The developer receives no payment card details or personal information about you.

7. Sharing

When you share a milestone badge or poster, that one image goes wherever you choose through the system share sheet (Messages, Photos, email and so on). That is your decision.

8. Reminders

If you allow them, the app sends monthly reminders as local notifications. They are created on your phone and are not sent anywhere.

9. Children

The app is for parents and caregivers, not children. Information about the baby is entered and managed by an adult. The app does not collect data from children themselves.

10. Deleting your data

In the app: Settings → Delete all data removes the name, birth date and all milestones with photos from your phone. You can manage the iCloud backup through your Apple ID settings. Since the developer holds none of your data on a server of their own, there is nothing to delete there.

11. Changes to this policy

If data handling changes, I will update this page and the date above.
