Keyly Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 9, 2026
Keyly ("the app") is a custom keyboard for iPhone made by Northern Studio ("we"). Keyly is built so that what you type stays on your iPhone. This policy explains what data the app and its keyboard handle, and why.
What you type
The Keyly keyboard processes your keystrokes only on your iPhone, to insert text, suggest and correct words, and play sounds and visual effects. Keystrokes are never sent to us, stored on a server, or shared with anyone.
On-device learning
To improve suggestions, the keyboard remembers words and word pairs you use often. This data is saved only on your device, in storage shared by the Keyly app and its keyboard (an iOS App Group). It is not uploaded or backed up by us. Deleting the app removes it.
Full Access
iOS asks you to allow "Full Access" for third-party keyboards. Keyly uses it to:
- play typing sounds;
- read your selected theme, fonts and settings from the Keyly app.
Full Access is not used to send anything off your device.
Your photos
Photos you pick for DIY themes and stickers (including stickers cut out from your photos) are processed and stored only on your iPhone. If you choose to share a design file, it contains the photos you put in it, and you decide who receives it.
Ads
Free users see ads from Google AdMob. In regions where it is required, we ask for your consent first using Google's consent tool. AdMob may use your device's advertising identifier (IDFA) only if you allow tracking in the App Tracking Transparency prompt; otherwise ads are not personalized. AdMob may also collect diagnostic and advertising data as described in Google's privacy policy. Buying PRO removes ads.
Purchases
Payments are processed by Apple; we never see your payment details. We use RevenueCat to check whether you have PRO. RevenueCat receives an anonymous app user ID and your App Store purchase history — never your keystrokes or photos. See RevenueCat's privacy policy.
Children
Keyly is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
Your choices
- Turn off Full Access in iOS Settings → General → Keyboard → Keyboards → Keyly (sounds and theme sync stop working).
- Turn off Word suggestions and Auto-correction in the Keyly app → Settings → Keyboard.
- Change ad tracking any time in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.
Changes
We may update this policy. The latest version is always at this page.
