Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 14, 2026

fromCom ("we", "our", "the app") is a personal productivity tool that helps you keep track of commitments and action items from your messaging conversations. Your privacy is fundamental to how we built this app.

The Short Version

All your data stays on your device. We have no servers.
We never see, store, or have access to your messages.
Message excerpts are sent to an AI service for processing, with all personal information removed first.
You can delete all your data at any time.

What Data We Collect

We do not collect any data. fromCom does not have servers, user accounts, analytics, or telemetry. There is nothing to collect because we never receive your data.

The app stores data locally on your device only:

Messages from conversations you choose to monitor — stored in an encrypted database on your device.
Contact information (names and phone numbers) — used only to display names alongside action items.
Action items extracted by AI — tasks, follow-ups, meetings, and questions identified from your conversations.
App preferences — your settings and choices within the app.

AI Processing

fromCom uses Claude, an AI service by Anthropic, to extract actionable items from your conversations. Here is exactly how this works:

Before sending: All personally identifiable information is removed from the message text. Names are replaced with anonymous identifiers (e.g., "Contact_A"), phone numbers are stripped, and internal messaging identifiers are never included.
What is sent: Anonymized message excerpts from conversations you have selected for monitoring.
What Anthropic does: Processes the text and returns extracted action items. Per Anthropic's commercial API terms, message content sent via their API is not used to train AI models.
What is not sent: Your name, phone number, contact names, messaging account identifiers, or any data from conversations you have not selected for monitoring.

Messaging Account Connection

fromCom connects to your messaging account using the standard "Linked Devices" feature — the same mechanism used by web-based messaging clients. This connection:

Is initiated and authorized entirely by you.
Is read-only — fromCom never sends messages on your behalf.
Can be disconnected by you at any time.
Operates directly between your device and the messaging service, with no intermediary server.

Data Storage & Security

Encryption at rest: Your message database is encrypted using SQLCipher (AES-256). The encryption key is stored in the iOS Keychain with hardware-level protection.
Encryption in transit: All AI processing requests use HTTPS (TLS 1.2+) with certificate pinning.
No cloud backup: The database directory is excluded from iCloud backup.
No server: There is no fromCom server. All data lives on your device only.

Data Deletion

You can delete all your data at any time:

Go to Settings → Unlink Account & Delete Data.
This permanently removes all messages, action items, contacts, encryption keys, and preferences from your device.
Since we never had your data on any server, there is nothing else to delete.

You can also remove individual conversations from monitoring at any time via the Chats tab.

Permissions

The app may request the following permissions, all of which are optional:

Contacts: To display contact names alongside action items instead of phone numbers.
Reminders: To create Apple Reminders from action items that have due dates.
Notifications: To notify you when new action items are found. All notifications are local — there is no push notification server.

Third-Party Services

The only third-party service fromCom communicates with is the Anthropic API (api.anthropic.com) for AI text processing. No data is shared with any other third party. There are no analytics SDKs, advertising networks, or tracking services in the app.

Children's Privacy

fromCom is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly process data from children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top will reflect any changes. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
