Privacy

The short version

Your guest lists, rules and seating plans stay on your iPhone. There's no account, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking. The only thing that can ever leave the phone is your email address, if you choose to sign up for Peter's newsletter in Settings.

What's stored

Your parties are kept in the app's own storage on your iPhone, protected by the iPhone's encryption. Deleting the app deletes them.

The camera

Bordplan only uses the camera when you scan a guest list on paper. The text is read on your iPhone, and the picture isn't kept.

Contacts

When you add guests from Contacts, you pick them in Apple's own contact picker, and Bordplan only gets the names you picked. It can't read your address book.

Photos and files

To read a photo of a list or open a spreadsheet, you pick the file yourself, and only that one is used.

Printing and sharing

Place cards and the seating chart go only to the printer you choose, or where you send the PDF with the share sheet.

The newsletter

Settings has an optional sign-up for Peter's newsletter. If you use it, your email address is sent to Peter's newsletter service and used only for news and offers about his apps. You can unsubscribe from every mail.

This website

This website sets no cookies, has no analytics and loads nothing from other sites; even the font comes from here. Cloudflare hosts it and handles the requests that deliver the pages, like any web host.
