Understand RenewalKit storage, iCloud, and app lock
Know which information is temporary and which records are saved.

RenewalKit stores the confirmed reminder fields and schedules you choose. It does not retain scan images or raw OCR as record fields.
- Local by default: confirmed records are stored in the app's local database.
- Optional iCloud: if enabled, supported records synchronize through Apple's CloudKit service under your Apple Account.
- Optional app lock: enable Face ID, Touch ID, or device-passcode protection in Settings if you want it.
- Analytics and diagnostics: these can be turned off in RenewalKit Settings.
iCloud sync is off by default, and app lock is a setting you choose. Turning on iCloud means supported record data leaves the device for Apple's service.
Offline use
Local records, on-device recognition, and already scheduled local notifications can work without a connection. Purchases, restoration, optional synchronization, and other network services may need internet access.
Keep your original documents. RenewalKit is a reminder organizer, not a replacement for them. See the privacy policy.
