Published App Privacy

Published apps are shared, but app data is not. Every user gets a private, isolated database for each app they use.

Per-User Data

When someone opens your published app, they do not use your database. They get their own private data store for that app.

That means:

  • They cannot see data you entered while building or testing the app.
  • You cannot see data they enter while using the app.
  • Other users cannot see each other's data.

Creator Privacy

Anything you entered while creating or testing your app remains yours. Publishing the app shares the app experience, not the private data in your account.

User Privacy

Users can enter information into published apps knowing their data is isolated to their account. Their data also persists across sessions and syncs across their own devices.

Visibility and Privacy

Visibility controls who can access the app. It does not grant access to private data. Public, unlisted, and private apps all use the same per-user data isolation model.
