Privacy Policy
Effective November 9, 2026. App: How To Potty Train a Toddler for iPhone. Developer: Joshua White (“we”). Contact: support@oldjard.com.
The short version
- We store what the app needs to run your plan, and to share it with the one adult you invite, if you do: first names, your answers, your plan and your log.
- No ads, no tracking, no analytics, no data brokers. We never sell your data or use it for advertising.
- Only you, and the adult you invite if you share the plan, can see your plan and log.
- No email or password is needed. You can delete your account in the app at any time.
What we store, and why
| What | Why |
|---|---|
| Your first name, and the first name of the adult you share the plan with, if you do | So the app can say who logged what and who’s on duty. |
| Each child’s first name and, if you give it, their birthday | To personalise the plan and the keepsake, and tune a few notes to their age. |
| Your answers to the questions, the approach you chose and where you are in the plan | To show which approaches fit and to run the plan. |
| The potty log: wins, dry checks, accidents, their times, stickers, and any notes or funny moments you write | To show progress, share it with the adult you invite (if you do), and make the keepsake. |
| An account id (anonymous, or linked to Sign in with Apple if you choose) and a random id for this install | To keep your account yours, recover it on a new phone, and check purchases. |
| When your phone last opened the app | So if a phone is lost, the other adult on a shared plan can remove it after 3 days. |
| A hash of your recovery code (never the code itself) | So the code can bring your account back. |
| Counts of recovery attempts, by account id, install id and code hash | To stop anyone guessing recovery codes (five tries an hour). |
| If you buy Premium: Apple’s transaction id and whether Premium is on | To turn Premium on for everyone sharing the plan and restore it later. |
The app does not ask for your email, phone number, contacts, location, microphone or camera, and never reads your photos; it only asks to add a picture to Photos when you choose to save the keepsake or the chart. Sign in with Apple is used without asking Apple for your name or email.
The log is about your child’s toileting, and the safety notes talk about health. We treat all of it as sensitive: it is used only to run the app for you, and for the adult you share the plan with, if you do.
Where it is stored, and who processes it
Your data is stored with Google Firebase (Authentication, Cloud Firestore and Cloud Functions, in the United States), which processes it for us under its data processing terms. Purchases are handled by Apple; we receive the transaction, never your payment details. We use no other services.
Who can see it
You, and the one adult you invite with your code, if you do. Your answers are hidden from them until you have both finished. Our security rules stop anyone else’s app from reading your family’s data. We look at stored data only when you ask us for help, or when the law requires it.
If you share the keepsake or the chart, it leaves the app as a picture you send yourself, through the share sheet. The printable chart and sticker sheet is a PDF made on your phone; it holds only your child’s first name.
Deleting your data
In the app: Settings › Delete my account. This deletes your account, your user record and your answers, and revokes Sign in with Apple if you used it. If you share the plan and the other adult is still on it, the shared plan and log stay with them, including the entries you logged; if nobody is left, the plan and the whole log are deleted. To delete everything on a shared plan, both of you delete your accounts, or write to us.
One record is kept after deletion: if you bought Premium, Apple’s transaction id, the account id it belonged to and the install ids it was used on, so a purchase can be restored and can’t be claimed twice. It holds no names and no log. Counts of recovery attempts also remain; they hold no names either.
You can ask us for a copy of your data, or to correct or delete it, at support@oldjard.com. We answer within 30 days.
Children
The app is for parents and caregivers, not children. We don’t knowingly collect information from children; the details about your child (first name, birthday, the log) are entered by you, the adult, to run your plan, and you can delete them at any time.
Changes
If we change what we store or why, we will update this page and the date at the top before the change takes effect.
