Little Spud

Privacy Policy

Little Spud is a companion app for Tater, a local-first assistant platform. It is designed to connect to a Tater instance that you control.

No Little Spud cloud No ads No third-party tracking Local-first
Data we do not collect

No cloud account, ads, or analytics.

Little Spud does not operate a Little Spud cloud account service, advertising system, analytics service, or third-party tracking system.

On-device storage

Settings stay on your device.

Little Spud stores app settings on your device, including preferences such as notification and TTS settings. Pairing tokens for your Tater instance are stored using secure operating-system storage. Recent chat messages may be stored locally so the app can show conversation history.

Push delivery

Push services deliver a wake-up, not your private alert content.

If you enable push notifications, Apple Push Notification service on iOS and iPadOS or Firebase Cloud Messaging on Android can deliver a wake-up notification. Little Spud then retrieves the alert details from your paired Tater instance. Push registration tokens are used only to route those notifications and are not used for advertising or tracking.

Your Tater

Messages go to the Tater URLs you configure.

When you pair Little Spud with Tater, the app sends messages directly to the Tater URLs you configure. Depending on what you choose to do in the app, this may include chat text, voice input audio, voice transcripts, selected media, device name, user name, and app status information needed for pairing, notifications, and sync.

This data is sent to your configured Tater instance, not to a Little Spud cloud service.
