Privacy Policy
Widen for iPhone Duo, by Challis & Company Pty Limited · Last updated 20 October 2026
Widen is designed so that your data stays with you. We do not operate servers that collect, store, or process your personal information, and we do not sell data to anyone.
In short: Widen collects nothing about you and sends nothing anywhere. Your settings stay on your iPhone, and Apple handles the purchase.
What Widen does on a web page
Widen is a Safari extension. To change how wide a page is laid out, Safari lets it run a small script on the pages you visit, if you allow it. That script measures the page and the display and adjusts the layout on your iPhone. It does not read, record or send what is on the page, what you type or where you browse.
What is stored, and where
- Your settings: your choice of Off, Pictures or Pictures & text, any settings for particular sites, which orientations it works in, and whether banner hiding is on. These are kept on your iPhone, shared only between the Widen app and its Safari extension so that Shortcuts can change them. A site’s name is saved only when you make a rule for it.
- Your free trial: the date you first chose Widen is kept on your iPhone so it knows when the seven days are up.
Nothing is copied to a server. We don’t run one.
Network activity
Widen makes no network connections of its own. It does not contact us or anyone else, does not load remote code, and does not check in when you browse.
Analytics and advertising
None. Widen contains no analytics, tracking, crash-reporting or advertising code, and it doesn’t identify you or your device.
Purchases
The one-time purchase is handled by Apple through the App Store. (The free week is simply counted on your iPhone.) We never see your payment details, name or Apple Account. The app asks Apple, on your iPhone, whether the unlock has been bought. Apple’s own privacy policy covers the purchase.
If you email us
If you contact support, we receive your email address and whatever you write, and use them only to reply. We don’t add you to any list.
Children
Widen collects no personal information from anyone, of any age.
Changes
If this ever changes, this page will be updated first and the date at the top revised.
