Privacy Policy

Last updated November 9, 2026

Headcount doesn’t collect any data. Names are read on your iPhone or iPad, and your counts are saved only on your devices and in your own iCloud account. We can’t see them.

What the app works with

  • Screenshots and photos you choose. Headcount reads the names in them with Apple’s text recognition, which runs on your device. The images aren’t saved by the app and aren’t uploaded anywhere.
  • The camera, only when you tap Camera to take a photo of a screen. The photo is read on your device and isn’t saved.
  • Names, head counts, dates and meeting titles of the counts you save, and your settings, such as names you never want counted.

Where your counts are kept

  • On your device. Every count is saved in the app’s storage on your iPhone or iPad.
  • In your iCloud account, if your device is signed in to iCloud. Counts are kept in the app’s private iCloud database and settings in iCloud’s key-value storage, so they appear on your other devices and come back if you reinstall the app. This data belongs to your Apple Account, is protected by Apple, and can’t be read by us. See Apple’s Privacy Policy.
  • In backup files you make. Back Up Counts creates a file and opens the share sheet. The file goes only where you send it.

Apple Intelligence

On devices that support it, Headcount can ask Apple’s on-device language model to double-check a scan. This runs entirely on your device; nothing is sent to Apple or to us. You can turn it off in Headcount’s settings.

What we don’t do

  • No accounts or sign-in.
  • No analytics, advertising or tracking, and no third-party code that does any of these.
  • No selling or sharing of data, because we don’t have any.

The people you count

The names you scan belong to the people in your meetings. Headcount keeps them only in the places listed above. If you share a backup or an exported report, you decide who receives it.

Deleting your data

  • Delete a count in the app by swiping it left in the list.
  • Deleting the app removes the copy on that device.
  • To remove the copy in iCloud, open Settings on your iPhone or iPad, tap your name, then iCloud → Manage Storage (or Storage) → Headcount, and delete its data.

Children

Headcount is not directed at children and collects no information from anyone.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new date.
