Privacy Policy
In a nutshell: Multipple creates and grades exams on your device. There are no accounts, no ads, no analytics, no tracking and no servers of ours. Sheets are analyzed on your iPhone or iPad, and your data, including your students’ data, only leaves the device as backups in your own iCloud or when you decide to share it. The developer never receives it.
1Who is responsible and contact
Multipple is an iPhone and iPad app developed and published by Jorge Maldonado Borbón, operating under the IndieLob brand (hereinafter “the developer”, “we” or “us”).
- Developer: Jorge Maldonado Borbón (IndieLob)
- App: Multipple, for iPhone and iPad
- Contact and privacy email: support@indielob.com
As explained below, the developer does not receive, host or have any way to view anything you save in the app. Even so, you can write to us with any privacy question.
2Scope of this policy
This policy describes how data is handled by the Multipple app for iOS (iOS 26 or later) across all of its features, including the optional lifetime purchase. It also covers this website (section 18).
It does not cover third-party services you may use alongside the app — mainly Apple (iCloud, App Store, Apple Intelligence) — or the apps and people you decide to share files with, which are governed by their own privacy policies.
3What Multipple does not do
To leave no room for doubt, here is the list of things the app does not do:
- It does not upload photos, exams, students or grades to any server belonging to the developer or to third parties.
- There are no user accounts, sign-ups, logins or passwords.
- It includes no advertising of any kind, no advertising identifiers (IDFA) and no ad networks.
- It includes no analytics or telemetry: no third-party SDKs and no usage reports sent to the developer.
- It does no tracking across apps or websites and builds no profiles of teachers or students.
- It has no servers of its own: the app’s code makes no network calls to the developer’s servers.
- It does not use your exams, photos or students’ data to train AI models.
- It does not access your photo library, contacts, location or microphone.
- It does not sell, rent or share information with anyone, quite simply because it has none.
- It sends no marketing notifications, with one exception that only arrives if you accept it: a single reminder 3 days before your launch price ends. The other alerts are the calendar reminders you schedule and, if you turn it on, a reminder to take attendance on your groups’ attendance days. You can turn off all of them from the app’s settings.
4How sheets are processed
When you scan a sheet, the camera image is analyzed on the device itself with Apple’s Vision and Core Image frameworks: corner marks, perspective correction, reading the bubbles and recognizing the handwritten name and class. None of this needs an internet connection and nothing is sent anywhere.
The camera preview is only analyzed in memory to find the sheet and is not saved. When you save a result, the corrected photo of the sheet is stored in the app along with its answers and grade, so you can check it later. In free mode nothing is saved.
5What the app stores and where
Multipple stores its information in the private, sandboxed space that iOS reserves for it on your device. No other app and not the developer can access it.
| Data | What it contains | Does it leave the device? |
|---|---|---|
| Exams and questions | Title, subject, answer key, questions and options, skills and sessions. | Only to your backups |
| Groups and students | Names of groups and students, class, group membership and, if you enter them, the student’s age, phone, address and email and their guardians’ names and phone. | Only to your backups |
| Results | Answers, grades, date and the corrected photo of each saved sheet, which may show the student’s handwritten name. | Only to your backups |
| Classroom records | Attendance, academic adjustments and their reasons, calendar items and assignment grades. | Only to your backups |
| Preferences | Grading system, passing mark, appearance, automatic backup setting and the date you first opened the app. | Grading system and passing mark go in your backups |
| Purchase status | Whether the lifetime purchase is active, checked with the App Store. | No |
6Students’ data and your role
The app can hold personal data about students, who are often minors. You, or the school or institution you work for, decide what to record and why, and act as the controllers of that data under laws such as the GDPR, FERPA, COPPA, Mexico’s LFPDPPP, Brazil’s LGPD or Turkey’s KVKK. The developer does not access this data and does not act as your processor, because it never receives it.
Requests from students or their families about this data (access, correction or deletion) must be directed to you or your institution; you can meet them directly in the app by editing or deleting the student and their results. We recommend recording only what you need and following your institution’s rules.
7Device permissions
You can review and revoke permissions at any time in iOS Settings.
- Camera (needed for scanning): to photograph answer sheets. Images are processed as described in section 4.
- Notifications (optional): reminders for the exams, assignments and projects on your calendar, a reminder at the time you choose to take attendance on your groups’ attendance days and, if you accept it, one reminder 3 days before your launch price ends. They are local notifications scheduled on the device; they don’t go through any server.
- Files: when you import a CSV or a PDF, the system file picker only gives the app the file you choose.
The app does not use location, the microphone, contacts, your photo library or your system calendars.
8On-device AI
On compatible devices, question drafting uses Apple’s on-device Foundation Models framework. The text or PDF you provide is processed on your device and is not sent to the developer or to any cloud AI provider by the app. It is only available if you have Apple Intelligence turned on, under Apple’s terms.
9iCloud backups
- Multipple can save a full copy of its data, including students’ data and photos of sheets, to a folder in your own iCloud Drive. It does so weekly by default and whenever you ask. You can turn the automatic copy off on the backups screen in Settings.
- Those files are stored under your Apple Account, are subject to Apple’s terms and security, and are also visible in the Files app. The developer cannot see, read or recover them.
- Each device keeps its 3 most recent automatic copies and deletes older ones. Manual copies are only deleted if you delete them. If you do not use iCloud Drive, no backups are created.
- Your device’s own iCloud or computer backup, managed by Apple, may also include the app’s data.
10Exporting and sharing
You can export results and reports as CSV or PDF and print or share sheets through the system’s options. That only happens when you ask for it, and the recipient you choose receives the file. From that moment, that copy is under your responsibility and the recipient’s.
11Apple services used by the app
- Vision, Core Image and Foundation Models: work on the device, as explained in sections 4 and 8.
- iCloud Drive: stores your backups (section 9).
- App Store and StoreKit: purchases, verification and “Restore Purchases” happen directly with Apple (section 12).
- Crash reports: if you have turned on sharing analytics data with developers in iOS, Apple may provide us with anonymous technical crash reports. You control this in Settings › Privacy & Security › Analytics & Improvements.
These services are governed by Apple’s Privacy Policy.
12Purchases
The lifetime purchase is handled entirely by Apple, through the App Store and your Apple Account.
- The developer never sees or receives your payment method, billing address or Apple Account.
- To know whether you own it and whether you are in your first 14 days, the app checks your purchase and the date you obtained the app with the App Store on your device. That information is not sent to the developer.
- Apple makes aggregated, anonymous sales reports available to the developer, which do not identify any buyer.
13Children
Multipple is intended for teachers, not for children, and the developer does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone, whatever their age. There are no public profiles, no messaging, no content from other users and no targeted advertising. Student data that a teacher records stays under that teacher’s control, as explained in section 6.
14Your rights and your control
Laws such as the European GDPR, California’s CCPA/CPRA, Mexico’s LFPDPPP, Brazil’s LGPD and Turkey’s KVKK grant rights of access, rectification, erasure, objection and portability over the personal data a company holds about you.
In Multipple’s case, those rights are met in the most direct way possible: we hold no app data about you or your students to hand over, correct or delete. There is no user database. Everything is on your device and in your iCloud, under your control: you can edit it, export it or erase it whenever you like.
If you have any privacy-related question, write to us at support@indielob.com and we will reply within a reasonable time.
15How to delete your data
- A result, student or group: delete it from its screen in the app.
- All local data, along with the app: uninstall Multipple. iOS deletes its data with it.
- iCloud backups: delete them from the backups screen in the app or from the Files app; uninstalling does not delete them.
- Device backups: manage them in Settings › [your name] › iCloud or on your computer.
16Retention and security
- Your data is kept for as long as you want: until you delete it or uninstall the app, and in your backups until you delete them.
- Local data lives in the app’s sandboxed container, protected by your device’s encryption and by your passcode, Face ID or Touch ID. Protect your device, especially if it holds students’ data.
- Since there are no developer servers or centralized databases, there is no store of information that could leak from us.
17App Store privacy labels
Consistent with all of the above, Multipple’s App Store listing is declared as “Data Not Collected”: the app does not send data to the developer or to third parties for their use, and it does not track you within the meaning of Apple’s App Tracking Transparency (which is why you will never see the tracking permission prompt).
18This website
If you write to us through the support form on multipple.indielob.com, after ticking its consent box, we receive your name, email address, topic and message by email, together with technical details of the submission (the language and page you write from, the date, your IP address and browser type), for the sole purpose of replying to you and preventing abuse. They are not stored in any database or used for advertising; the message is kept in the support mailbox only for as long as needed to help you. To prevent bulk submissions, the server keeps a hashed fingerprint of your IP address. After one hour it is no longer used, and it stays in the server’s temporary files until the server clears them. Please don’t include students’ personal data in your message. This website uses no cookies or analytics; the language selector only stores your choice in your own browser. You can also write to us directly at support@indielob.com.
19Changes to this policy
If a new feature ever changes how data is handled, we will update this policy and its effective date. If the change is substantial, you will be notified within the app itself or in the App Store release notes.
20Language and precedence clause
The Spanish version of this Privacy Policy is the only official and legally binding version. The versions available in other languages — English, French, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, European Portuguese, German, Turkish, Simplified Chinese, Dutch, Japanese and Arabic — are published solely for informational purposes and as a courtesy, to make them easier to understand, and have no legal force in themselves.
In the event of any discrepancy, contradiction, ambiguity, translation error or omission, or conflict of interpretation between the Spanish version and any of its translations, the Spanish version shall always prevail in its entirety and shall govern for all legal purposes.
