Silex is built on one principle: your recovery is nobody's dataset.
We run no servers, hold no accounts, and have no way to read anything you write in this app. This page explains exactly what that means — including the few places where data does leave your phone, because a privacy policy that only lists the reassuring parts is not a privacy policy.

Your private iCloud database is accessible only to your Apple ID. We are not a party to it and cannot read it. If iCloud is unavailable or disabled, the app stores data only on your device.
We never receive this content. There is no API call that sends it, no backup on our side, and no key that would let us decrypt it. Because we have no access to it and no ability to use it, we do not consider ourselves the controller of what you write in the app — you are. We describe it here for transparency, not because we process it.
Four narrow cases, all optional or technically unavoidable.
