Privacy Policy
Last updated August 25, 2026
MerryList is built to be private by design. There is no account, no sign-in, and no server that stores your card list. Here's exactly what that means.
Your list stays on your device
The people you add, their addresses, your notes, and your Sent/Received history all live on your device, in your device's local storage. We never see, transmit, or store your list, and there is no account it could be attached to.
Anonymous usage statistics
To understand which features are useful, the app sends us anonymous usage counts, for example how many times the Sent button was tapped or a label sheet was exported. These counts are tied to a random anonymous ID, not to you: no name, no email, no list content, no addresses. We also record the approximate city, state, and country the request came from; your IP address is not stored. None of this can identify you and none of it is shared with or sold to anyone.
AI message helper (Pro)
If you use the optional message helper, the text you type is sent to our server and passed to Anthropic (the AI provider) to generate the improved version. The message text is processed to give you a result and is not stored on our servers; we keep only an anonymous count of how many times the feature was used. Your card list is never included, only the message you choose to enhance.
Contacts access
If you choose to import people from your phone's Contacts, MerryList asks for permission the first time and only reads the names and addresses of the contacts you select. This information is copied into your on-device list and is never sent anywhere.
Notifications
If you turn on the optional seasonal reminder, it is scheduled entirely on your device using your phone's notification system. No data leaves your phone to make this work.
Purchases
MerryList Pro is a one-time purchase processed by the App Store or Google Play. Purchase and receipt data is handled by Apple/Google and our payments provider, RevenueCat, to confirm your purchase; it is not linked to any personal profile since MerryList has no accounts.
Children's privacy
MerryList does not knowingly collect information from children under 13. The app collects no personal data from anyone; the anonymous usage counts described above cannot identify any user of any age.
Cookies
This website uses minimal, privacy-respecting analytics to understand traffic. It does not use advertising or tracking cookies.
Your rights
Since your list lives only on your device, you control it directly: delete a person or your whole list at any time from within the app. The anonymous usage counts we hold cannot be connected to you, but if you have any privacy question or request, email us and we'll help.
Data storage location
Your card list stays on your device. Anonymous usage statistics are stored on Cloudflare infrastructure in the United States. This website is hosted on Vercel and Cloudflare infrastructure in the United States.
