Leader Guide Privacy Policy
Effective date: November 12, 2026
Leader Guide is published by Turing Forge LLC ("Turing Forge," "we," "us"), 2121 1st Ave N, Ste N, Birmingham, AL 35203.
The short version: Leader Guide keeps everything on your device. We don't collect, see, sell or share your information. There are no Leader Guide servers, no accounts, no advertising and no tracking.
1. What stays on your device
The App stores on your device:
- the leader guides you import, and where a guide came from (the file or the link you used);
- the text the App reads from them, and the search index it builds;
- your notes, checkmarks, pinned passages, highlights, lists, schedules and recent questions.
The App reads guides on the device, including text in scanned pages, using your device's own text recognition. Nothing is sent to us or to any cloud service for this.
AI answers. On iPhones and iPads with Apple Intelligence turned on, Ask can show a short answer written by Apple's on-device language model from passages in your guide. This happens entirely on your device: the App doesn't use Apple's Private Cloud Compute or any other server, and it doesn't send your guides, questions or answers to us, to Apple or to anyone else. The App doesn't keep a log of questions or answers beyond the recent questions stored on your device. You can turn AI answers off in the App's settings.
Device backups. If you back up your device to iCloud or a computer, your Leader Guide data, including imported guides, may be included in that backup under your backup settings. Apple or your computer stores those backups, not us.
2. Importing guides
You can import a guide from the Files app, from another app's "Open in" or Share option, or by pasting a link. When you paste a link, the App downloads the file directly from that website. Like any download, the website receives your IP address and basic request information, and its own privacy policy applies. We don't see the link or the file.
3. Permissions
The App asks only when you use a feature that needs it:
- Calendar (add only): to add a date from a guide to your calendar after you confirm it. The App can add events but can't read your calendar.
- Reminders: to add a checklist you export, or a date you confirm, to Reminders. iOS grants Reminders access as full access; the App only creates the items you choose and never reads your existing reminders.
You can change these in your device's Settings.
4. Sharing and exports
When you export a brief summary, checklist or schedule, the App creates a file on your device. You choose where it goes (Messages, Mail, Files and so on). We don't receive it. Exports contain your own notes and lists plus page references; they don't contain guide text.
5. People in guides and youth information
Leader Guide is for adult leaders. It doesn't ask for information about youth, and it isn't directed to children under 13. Guides you import may name people, such as camp staff and contacts; that stays on your device with the guide. The App doesn't collect personal information from anyone, including children.
6. Purchases
If you buy the App or anything in it, Apple processes all purchases. We don't receive your payment details. Apple gives developers sales and transaction information so we can provide what you bought and keep our records. The App checks your purchases with Apple on your device, and its yearly renewal reminder is a notification scheduled on your device.
7. Information Apple may share with us
If you've agreed in your device settings to share analytics or crash data with app developers, Apple may give us aggregated usage statistics and crash reports. These don't identify you to us. You can change this in Settings > Privacy & Security > Analytics & Improvements.
Age range. Where the law requires it (for example in Texas), the App asks Apple for your age range and, for a minor, whether a parent or guardian has approved. If you're asked to share your age range and choose not to, the App can't be used there. The App checks this on your device, uses it only to apply age rules, doesn't keep it after the check, and doesn't send it to us.
8. If you contact us
If you email us at support@turingforgeai.com or privacy@turingforgeai.com, we receive your email address and whatever you include. We use it only to answer you and keep it only as long as needed for that, and for our records.
9. What we don't do
We don't sell or share personal information, show ads, track you across apps or websites, build profiles about you, or use your information, your guides or your questions to train AI models.
10. Deleting your data
You control your data:
- Delete a guide in the App. Its notes, lists and other data are deleted with it.
- Delete the App to remove all of its data from your device.
- Device backups follow your backup settings.
To have us delete an email you sent us, write to privacy@turingforgeai.com.
11. Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or move your personal information, or to opt out of its sale, targeted advertising or profiling. We don't collect or hold your Leader Guide data, so you manage it directly on your device. For anything we do hold, such as support emails, write to privacy@turingforgeai.com and we'll respond within the time the law requires.
12. Changes
If we change this policy, we'll post the new version here with a new effective date. If a change is material, for example if the App starts syncing or collecting data, we'll tell you in the App before it takes effect.
