Sidequest — Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2026

Sidequest is built local-first: your saved places, notes, and voice-brief history are stored only on your device, using Apple's on-device SwiftData framework. Aguach1leLabs does not operate a server, and there is no account or login — we never receive or store your data.

Location

Sidequest requests location access while in use to route you and recommend nearby places. Your location is used on your device and is not stored by Aguach1leLabs.

Microphone and Speech Recognition

Sidequest requests microphone access so you can talk to it hands-free, using Apple's on-device Speech framework to transcribe what you say. Voice queries that need a live web/data lookup (like finding a specific place) are sent to your chosen AI provider using an API key you provide and control yourself in Settings.

Your own AI key (BYOK)

Sidequest uses a "bring your own key" model for cloud AI features. Your API key is stored only in your device's Keychain, encrypted by iOS. It is never transmitted to Aguach1leLabs, logged, or included in any file we can access.

What we don't do

• No analytics or crash-reporting SDKs
• No advertising or ad networks
• No tracking across other companies' apps or websites
• No sale of your data — we don't have a way to collect it in the first place

Children's privacy

Sidequest is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect information from anyone.
