MD Keep Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 13, 2026

MD Keep is a Markdown viewer for iPhone and iPad. You can use its local document features without creating a separate app account. This policy describes how the app and this support website handle information.

Local documents and records

The app processes the Markdown files and ZIP packages you choose, extracted attachments, project names, file names and paths, content fingerprints, import and opening dates, deletion and restoration records, search indexes, icons, and preview metadata on your device. App preferences and purchase entitlement caches are also stored locally. Files are not uploaded to a developer server for Markdown rendering or ZIP extraction.

Removing a project moves it into Recently Deleted while a recoverable copy remains. You can permanently delete that copy in the app. Uninstalling the app may remove local files and records; keep separate copies of important documents. Device backups are also subject to your Apple backup settings.

Optional iCloud sync

If you enable iCloud sync and have the required access, the app uses Apple CloudKit in MD Keep's independent container, iCloud.com.mai8.markdownkeep.accountsync. Project content and attachments, names and icons, content hashes, revision and deletion records, opening information, and an app installation identifier may be transferred to your private CloudKit database to sync your library across your devices. Apple processes that information under its own privacy policy and iCloud terms. The app also checks iCloud account availability to display sync status.

This sync uses MD Keep's own container, separate from other apps by this developer. Turning off sync stops the app's sync activity; it does not by itself erase data already stored in iCloud. Uninstalling the app does not necessarily remove cloud copies. Manage synced projects in the app and available iCloud storage controls in Apple settings, or contact support for guidance. Deletion may propagate to other synced devices, and recoverable copies may remain until permanently deleted.

Purchases

Apple StoreKit handles purchases, subscription renewals, restore requests, and transaction verification through your Apple Account. MD Keep processes product identifiers, prices, transaction and entitlement information to display offers and determine membership access. We do not receive your payment card details. Manage subscriptions and billing through Apple.

Feedback and support you choose to send

If you submit in-app feedback, the app attempts to send your message to its independent Apple CloudKit public database with the submission date, source, app version and build, app language, system version, project count, whether a project has been reopened, and the age of the oldest project in days. Document contents, file names, and paths are not automatically attached to this feedback. Feedback is intended for developer support, not confidential document storage. Availability depends on the configured service and Apple account. Do not include passwords, private documents, or unnecessary personal details.

If you contact us by email, we receive the address, message, and any attachments you choose to send through our email providers. We use feedback and support correspondence to answer requests and resolve app issues, and retain it only as needed for those purposes or applicable obligations. Deleting the app does not delete messages already sent. Contact support for access or deletion requests concerning information you supplied; we may need enough information to locate and verify your request.

Agent sessions, sharing, and widgets

When you start Agent Automation, the app opens a local-network session. A client with the session address and access credentials can use the session's supported document import and management capabilities. Files and project information are transferred to clients you connect. Share credentials only with trusted clients and stop the session when finished; the session ends when the app leaves the foreground.

Widgets and shortcuts access the app's shared local storage to display and open selected projects. When you share files, export a PDF, save an image, or print a document, the selected content is passed to the recipient, app, photo library, or printer you choose. Those destinations have their own privacy practices.

External resources and permissions

Markdown may reference remote images. Loading those images can send normal network request information, such as your IP address and the requested URL, to the image host. Opening an external link passes that URL to your browser or the selected app. Treat document content and links as untrusted unless you know their source. HTML attachments are viewed as text rather than run as webpages. PDF export uses a temporary local rendering process; it is not a developer-hosted conversion service.

System file access is limited to the files and locations you select or authorize. Local-network permission supports Agent Automation. Camera permission is used when you choose supported QR scanning, and photo-library add permission is used when you save an image. Permissions can be managed in system settings.

Analytics and this website

The current app configuration does not enable Firebase Analytics, advertising tracking, Hub sharing, remote diagnostic upload, or remote update-policy checks. Diagnostic reports may be generated locally; exporting or sending a report is your choice. Inspect it before sharing, since troubleshooting details can include information about your device or documents.

This static support website is hosted by Cloudflare. Visiting it sends ordinary web request information, including IP address and browser request details, to the hosting provider for delivery and security. We do not add advertising, analytics scripts, account sign-in, or tracking cookies to these pages.

Your choices and policy changes

You can remove local projects and recoverable copies, control iCloud sync, stop Agent sessions, manage permissions, choose what to share, and manage purchases through Apple. This is a general-purpose document viewer; parents and guardians should help children choose trusted files and manage permissions. We do not knowingly request children's personal information for advertising or profiling.

Privacy rights depend on where you live. For questions or requests about information you provided to us, use Contact Support. We will update this page when our information handling changes. Apple's services and external content providers are also governed by their own policies.
