TOTEM Desk — Privacy
Last updated: August 27, 2026
This page describes how TOTEM Desk handles information when you use the app. We wrote it in plain language because most people just want to know what happens to their numbers and notes.
What we collect
We do not run a user account system for this app, and we do not ask you to sign in. The calculator inputs you type, saved history, templates, scenario notes, trade plans, and preset chips are kept on your iPhone or iPad in the app’s own storage area. We do not receive those items on our servers because we do not operate a backend that pulls your content out of the app.
Photos and camera
If you attach a photo to a trade plan or scenario, the app uses the camera or your photo library only when you choose to add an image. Those pictures are saved with your other app data on the device. We do not upload them anywhere on your behalf.
What stays on your device
Things that typically remain local include:
- calculation history and result text you save
- templates and quick-fill preset chips
- scenario folders, snapshots, and checklist items
- appearance preference (light, dark, or system)
- pinned calculators and “continue” shortcuts
- activity streak counters used inside the app
Deleting the app from your device generally removes this stored data along with it. If your device is restored from a backup, stored app data may return as part of that restore—we do not control how backups work on your phone.
Sharing from the app
When you tap Share on a result or export text, you are using the built-in share options on your device. What happens after you pick a destination is outside the app. We do not see what you send.
Children
TOTEM Desk is a general planning and learning tool. It is not aimed at young children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone.
Changes
If we change how the app stores data or what permissions it uses, we will update this page and adjust the date above. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised description.
Questions
If something here does not match what you see in the app, email us at nalulor14@icloud.com. We read messages when we can and will try to clarify.
