Privacy Policy

Last updated March 25, 2026

The short version: Bento Widget does not collect personal data, does not require an account, and does not share anything with third parties. Your widget configurations live on your device.

What we collect

The Bento Widget app collects no personal information. There is no account system, no sign-in, and no backend server that receives your data.

All widget configuration data — layouts, complication settings, countdown dates, custom text — is stored locally on your device using iOS App Group storage shared between the app and the widget extension. It never leaves your device.

Device permissions

Bento Widget may request the following permissions depending on which complications you use:

Location (optional) — used only by the Weather complication to fetch your local forecast from Open-Meteo, a free public weather API. Your approximate location is sent to Open-Meteo's servers solely to retrieve weather data. It is not stored or used for any other purpose. Open-Meteo's privacy policy is available at open-meteo.com.
Calendars (optional) — used only by the Calendar complication to read upcoming events. Calendar data is read on-device and never transmitted off your device.
No other permissions are required.

Analytics

The Bento Widget app contains no analytics or crash-reporting SDK.

This website (bentowidget.app) uses TelemetryDeck to count page visits and button clicks. TelemetryDeck is a privacy-first analytics platform designed for Apple developers. It does not use cookies and does not track individuals — signals are sent with a one-way hashed identifier derived from your browser's user-agent string, which cannot be reversed to identify you. No IP addresses are stored.

Third-party services

Open-Meteo — weather data. Receives your approximate location when the Weather complication refreshes. See open-meteo.com/en/terms.
TelemetryDeck — website analytics only. See telemetrydeck.com/privacy.
Apple TestFlight — beta distribution. Subject to Apple's privacy policy.

Bento Widget has no relationship with any advertising network and does not sell or share any data.

Children

Bento Widget does not knowingly collect any information from children under 13. The app has no data collection mechanism regardless of age.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes materially, the updated version will be posted here with a revised date. Since the app collects no personal data, changes are unlikely to affect you in any meaningful way.
