Your library is yours.Nothing leaves your iCloud.
Last updated · May 7, 2026
TL;DR
Keepers stores nothing on a server. Your library lives in your iCloud private database; household sync runs through CloudKit Shared Zones between your devices. Minner Labs operates no backend, has no analytics, and never sees your data.
What data the app handles
When you add an item to your library, Keepers stores its title, author or director, year, format, who added it, and any optional fields you fill in (condition, where you bought it, edition notes). All of this is written to your iCloud private database.
Metadata fetched from external services (TMDb, Open Library, UPCitemdb) is cached locally on your device via SwiftData with a 90-day expiration. The cache lives only on your device.
Scanned barcodes are processed in-memory by the iOS Vision framework. They are not stored.
What we collect
Nothing. Minner Labs operates no backend for Keepers. We do not receive or store usage data, IP addresses, device identifiers, account information, or content from your library.
Third parties
Keepers depends on a small number of external services, all called directly from your device:
- Apple iCloud / CloudKit. Used for persistence and household sync. Subject to Apple's privacy policy.
- TMDb. Looks up movie and TV metadata. This product uses the TMDB API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDB.
- Open Library. Looks up book metadata by ISBN.
- UPCitemdb. Fallback UPC lookups for video formats.
- RevenueCat. Verifies App Store purchase receipts. Receipt data only — no personally identifying information.
There are no analytics SDKs, crash reporters, ad networks, or marketing pixels in the app.
AI features
v1 of Keepers does not use AI. If on-device AI is added in a later version (for example, recognizing a movie poster from a photo), this section will be updated and any inference will run entirely on your iPhone using Apple Foundation Models. Nothing will be sent to a cloud model.
Children's privacy
Keepers is rated 4+ and is not directed to children under 13. Because we collect no data, the app does not knowingly collect information from any user, including children.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the effective date at the top of this page will update, and material changes will be noted in the app's App Store release notes.
