Jobsheet does not collect your data. There is no Jobsheet account, no Jobsheet server, and no analytics, ads or tracking. What you put into the app stays on your iPhone — and, only if you turn on backup, in your own private iCloud.
Everything you put into Jobsheet is kept in the app’s own storage on your iPhone: your jobs and the work and prices on them; photos and anything you draw on them; customers’ names, phone numbers, email and street addresses, and private notes; customer signatures, with when and where they were signed; payments; time on the clock; your drives, including the route of each drive the app measured; your saved work; and your mileage rates. Your business details, logo and settings are kept on the phone too.
Like any app’s data, all of this is also included in your iPhone’s own backup — iCloud Backup, or a backup to your computer — which Apple and your computer handle, not us.
The developer never receives any of it. Jobsheet has no server of its own, and nothing in the app sends your work to us. That’s also why it keeps working in a basement with no signal.
Backup is off until you turn it on, in Jobsheet’s Settings under Your data › Backup › Back up to my iCloud. Once it’s on, your jobs, work and prices, photos, signatures, customers, payments, clock times, drives and routes, saved work and mileage rates are copied to your own private iCloud database (Apple’s CloudKit), under your Apple Account. It uses your iCloud storage and there’s no account of ours to create. Apple stores it under Apple’s privacy policy; the developer has no access to it.
Your business details, logo and settings are not part of that copy. They stay on the phone and in your iPhone backup. Switching backup on or off takes effect once you close and reopen the app. While it’s on, what you change or delete on the phone is changed or deleted in the iCloud copy too.
Your first job is free. The first time a document from that job leaves the app (handed to Mail or the share sheet, even if you then cancel, or its preview screenshotted or screen-recorded), Jobsheet saves a small marker in your iCloud Keychain saying the free job has been used, so deleting and reinstalling the app doesn’t reset it. The marker holds a random code for that job and nothing else — no names, no amounts, nothing about your customers or your work. Apple keeps it with your other iCloud Keychain items, and it follows your Apple Account to a new iPhone if you use iCloud Keychain. It is never sent to us.
None. The developer does not receive your jobs, photos, customers’ details, location, voice, or any usage statistics. There is no analytics, advertising, crash-reporting or tracking software in Jobsheet. It does not track you across other companies’ apps or websites, and there is no account to create or sign in to.
If you have chosen in your iPhone’s settings to share analytics with app developers, Apple may pass on anonymous crash reports and usage figures for Jobsheet. That is Apple’s feature and your choice, under Apple’s privacy policy; nothing in Jobsheet adds to it.
| Permission | Why it’s needed | Where it goes |
|---|---|---|
| Camera | To photograph the job and put each photo under the work it shows, and to snap a supply receipt. | Saved in the app on your iPhone (and your iCloud backup, if it’s on). |
| Photos | To add photos you already took, or your logo. No permission prompt: Apple’s photo picker hands Jobsheet only the photos you choose, and the app never sees the rest of your library. | Copied into the app on your iPhone (job photos also to your iCloud backup, if it’s on). |
| Microphone | To speak a line of work, or say what you did, instead of typing. | Used while you speak, then discarded. No recording is kept. |
| Speech Recognition | To turn what you say into text. | Done on your iPhone wherever it can be (see the note below). |
| Location (while using the app) | To print the place on your photos (Settings › Print date and place on photos, on unless you turn it off), to record where a customer signed, and to measure the drives you start, for your mileage log. | Kept with the photo, the signature or the trip on your iPhone. While Print date and place on photos is on, Jobsheet gets a fresh location when you open a job, the camera or the signature screen, so the stamp is ready; that point is looked up in Apple Maps to get the street address. Turning any location into a street address uses Apple Maps, so the coordinates go to Apple for that lookup, under Apple’s privacy policy. They are never sent to us. |
| Location (always) | Only if you turn on Keep measuring if the app closes or Detect drives automatically (Settings › When you drive). It lets a drive keep being measured when the app is closed or the phone is in your pocket, and lets you start a drive from your Apple Watch. To notice a drive starting and ending, Detect drives also listens for iOS saying you have moved a good distance or arrived somewhere. | Only the drive itself is kept, as a trip on your iPhone (and in your iCloud backup, if it’s on). The start and arrival signals are not stored. Nothing is sent to us. |
| Motion & Fitness | Only if you turn on Detect drives automatically: to tell when the phone is in a moving vehicle, so a drive can start and end by itself. | Read on your iPhone to start and end drives. Not stored, never sent. |
| Calendars | Only if you turn on Show my Apple Calendar in Schedule or Put booked jobs on my calendar (Settings › Your calendar). Your events sit between your jobs and busy times are not offered for booking; each booked job becomes an event that moves with the job, both ways. | Your events are read on your iPhone; Jobsheet doesn’t store or send them. A booked job’s event — the job, the customer’s name, the address, the job number and a link back to the job — is written to the calendar you choose, and syncs through that calendar’s own account (iCloud, Google or another) like your other events. |
| Notifications | For job reminders, an hour before each booked job and at 7 pm the evening before (Settings › Job reminders), and, when your Apple Watch asks for a drive the phone can’t start by itself, a note on the Lock Screen to open Jobsheet and start it. | Scheduled and shown by your iPhone. Nothing is sent anywhere. |
Every one of these is optional. Decline any of them and the rest of Jobsheet still works — you can type instead of speaking, add photos from your library, and enter trips by hand. Jobsheet does not ask for your Contacts: its Customers list is its own, kept in the app.
A note on dictation: Jobsheet asks iOS to turn speech into text on the iPhone itself. On iOS 26 and later it uses Apple’s on-device speech engine; where that isn’t ready, the older recognizer is told to stay on the device whenever the phone supports it. On some older iPhones Apple’s speech recognition may process the audio on Apple’s servers instead, under Apple’s privacy policy. Jobsheet never receives the audio either way.
On iPhones with Apple Intelligence, “Say what you did” turns your words into lines of work, the wand tidies your wording, and a scanned receipt’s store and total are read by Apple’s on-device model. Jobsheet uses only the model that runs on the iPhone itself — not Private Cloud Compute or any server — so none of this leaves the phone. Reading the text on a receipt uses Apple’s on-device text recognition, on every iPhone.
The payment details you add in Settings — Zelle, Venmo, Cash App, Apple Cash, who to make a check out to, or a card link from your own Stripe, Square or PayPal account — print on your invoices so customers can pay you directly. Jobsheet never handles that money.
Your first job is free. After that, Jobsheet Pro is sold through Apple’s In-App Purchase. Apple handles the payment; the developer never sees your card details, billing address or Apple Account. The app only asks Apple whether this Apple Account has a Jobsheet Pro subscription, now or in the past, to decide what to unlock.
Apple’s handling of that transaction is covered by Apple’s privacy policy. You can view or cancel the subscription in Settings on your iPhone, under your Apple Account.
Jobsheet is a tool for tradespeople and is not directed at children. Since the developer collects no information at all, it collects none from children either.
The developer holds no copy of anything, so there is nothing to request from us.
Privacy laws such as the GDPR and the CCPA give you rights to access, correct, export, and delete personal data a company holds about you. The developer of Jobsheet holds none, so there is nothing to request. Your data is already in your own hands: on your own iPhone, and in your own iCloud if you turned backup on.
This policy is updated before any version ships that changes what happens to your data, and the date below says when it last changed.
