Privacy Policy

Effective: 14 November 2026

The Perfect Keyboard ("the app") is published by RH Fardin, an individual developer. This policy covers the app, its keyboard, its Messages sticker extension and this website. The short version: nothing you type, copy or create leaves your iPhone because of the app, and the developer collects no data at all.

What the developer collects

Nothing. The app has no account, no servers, no analytics, no advertising and no third-party code (SDKs). It makes no network requests of its own. The developer cannot see your clips, your stickers, your photos or anything you type.

What you type

Your keystrokes are never recorded, stored or sent anywhere. When you press a key, the keyboard passes that character to the app you are typing in, as every keyboard does, and keeps no copy of it.

Password fields, and some apps such as some banking apps, always switch to Apple's keyboard. Third-party keyboards, including this one, cannot be used in them.

Allow Full Access: what it allows and why

iOS asks you to turn on Allow Full Access before a keyboard can use certain features. iOS shows a general warning when you turn it on, because Full Access would also allow a keyboard to use the network. This keyboard does not use the network. It uses Full Access only for:

• Reading the clipboard, so it can save what you copied to your clipboard history and offer the "Paste copied text" button.
• Shared storage with the app, so the keyboard, the app and the Messages extension can all see the same clips and stickers.
• Putting images and stickers on the clipboard, so you can paste them.
• Haptics, if you turn on light haptic feedback.

You can turn Full Access off at any time in the iPhone Settings app. Typing keeps working. Clipboard history, image clips, stickers and haptics stop working in the keyboard until you turn it back on.

Your clipboard

While the keyboard is on screen, and only if clipboard history is turned on, it reads the item you most recently copied and saves it to your history. iOS may ask "Allow Paste?" when this happens; you can change that in the iPhone Settings app under The Perfect Keyboard, Paste from Other Apps.

Items copied from password managers that mark them as private (the "concealed" clipboard type) are never saved. You can turn clipboard history off completely in the app's settings. You can also choose to remove unpinned clips automatically after 1 hour, 1 day or 7 days.

What is stored on your iPhone

The following is stored only on your iPhone, in a storage area (an App Group container) that only the app, its keyboard and its Messages extension can open:

• Your clipboard history: text clips and, with Pro, image clips, including which ones you pinned.
• Stickers you made from your photos, and which stickers you used recently.
• Your settings, such as auto-remove, history on or off, and haptics.
• Whether Pro is unlocked, as reported by Apple.

None of this is sent to the developer. Like the data of any app, it can be included in your own iPhone backup (iCloud Backup or a backup to your computer) if you have backups turned on. Those backups are controlled by you and Apple; the developer has no access to them.

Photos

When you add an image or make a sticker, you pick the photo with Apple's photo picker. The app receives only the photos you pick, not your library. Cutting out the person, pet or object is done on your iPhone with Apple's Vision framework. The photo is not uploaded anywhere. Only the finished sticker or image clip is saved, in the storage described above.

Messages

When you send a sticker from the app's Messages extension, Messages sends it to the people in that conversation, the same as any sticker or photo you send. That message is handled by Apple's Messages app under Apple's privacy policy. The app does not see your conversations or who you message.

How to delete your data

• Delete a single clip: long-press it in the keyboard, or delete it in the app.
• Clear all unpinned clips: tap the trash button in the keyboard, then tap it again to confirm.
• Delete a sticker you made: long-press it in the keyboard's sticker panel and delete it.
• Delete everything: delete the app from your iPhone. This removes the keyboard, the Messages extension and all stored clips, stickers and settings.

Purchases

The Perfect Keyboard Pro is sold by Apple through the App Store. The developer never sees your name, Apple Account or payment details. Apple tells the app only whether Pro is unlocked on your device. Apple's handling of your data is covered by Apple's privacy policy.

Tracking

The app does not track you across apps or websites, does not show ads and does not share data with data brokers or anyone else.

Children

The app is suitable for all ages and collects no personal information from anyone, including children under 13.

This website

This website uses no cookies, analytics or trackers, and loads nothing from other sites. Like any website host, Cloudflare, which serves these pages, may process standard technical data such as IP addresses to deliver and protect the site. The developer does not use this data to identify visitors.

Emails to support

If you email us, we use your message and email address only to reply to you. We do not add you to any list.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted at this address with a new effective date. If a change affects what the app does with your data, the app update notes will say so.
