Third-Party Services
Quotable API
The App fetches inspirational quotes from the Quotable API (quotable.io), a free, open-source quotations API. When fetching quotes:
- Only standard HTTP requests are made
- No personal data is sent to this service
- No cookies or tracking mechanisms are used
- The API provider may log standard server access information (IP addresses) as per their own privacy practices
For more information about Quotable's data practices, please refer to their documentation at quotable.io.
Share Functionality
When you choose to share a quote, the App uses your device's native share functionality. The shared content goes directly to the app or service you select (e.g., Messages, Email, Social Media). QuietQuote does not track or store information about your sharing activity.
Children's Privacy
QuietQuote does not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of 16 (or the applicable age in your jurisdiction). Since we do not collect personal information from any users, the App is safe for use by individuals of all ages.
Data Security
Since no personal data is collected or transmitted, there is no personal data at risk. All App data is stored locally on your device and is protected by your device's security features (passcode, Face ID, Touch ID, etc.).
Your Rights Under GDPR
As we do not collect personal data, most GDPR rights regarding data access, correction, and deletion do not apply. However, you have full control over the locally stored data:
- Right to Erasure: You can delete all App data by uninstalling the App or clearing App data in your device settings
- Right to Information: This Privacy Policy provides complete transparency about our data practices
- Right to Object: No data processing occurs that you could object to
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or Switzerland and have questions about your rights, please contact us.

Other Jurisdictions
Regardless of your location, QuietQuote's privacy-first approach ensures your data remains on your device and under your control.
Data Retention
- Local Data: Stored on your device until you delete it or uninstall the App
- Server Data: We do not store any data on servers
International Data Transfers
QuietQuote does not transfer personal data internationally as no personal data is collected. Quote requests to the Quotable API may be processed on servers located outside your jurisdiction, but these requests contain no personal information.
