The short version: True-Slate has no server, collects no personal data, uses no analytics or advertising, and shares nothing with anyone. Everything it does — including reading contact names and listening for timecode — happens only on your own device, and nothing is transmitted off it.
This policy explains how True-Slate (the "app"), developed by Andy Dodd, handles information when you use it. There is no company or organisation behind it beyond the individual developer.

True-Slate can pull names from your device's contacts so you can quickly pick a director or DP name for the slate. This is optional: the app only requests contacts access the first time you open the "Contacts" tab in the name picker, and the other tabs work without it.
When granted, contact names are read on your device to show the pick list. Only the single name you actually choose is written to the slate (and saved locally with the rest of the slate, below). Your contacts are never uploaded, never sent to any server (the app doesn't have one), and never shared with any third party.
If you turn on LTC jam sync (Settings → Timecode), the app opens the microphone / audio input to read SMPTE LTC timecode from a connected source. The incoming audio is decoded live, on your device, purely to recover the timecode value. It is never recorded, saved to a file, or transmitted anywhere. The microphone is closed again as soon as you turn the feature off.
True-Slate saves your working state in a file on your device only: the slate fields, settings, take / shot log, reverse-side notes, and any named productions and name history you've built up. This never leaves your device and is deleted automatically if you uninstall the app. Files you choose to export (CSV, ALE, PDF reports) are handed to iOS's share sheet for you to send or save wherever you decide.
If you email us for support, that email is used only to read and respond to you, kept only as long as needed to resolve your query, and never shared with anyone else or used for marketing.
The app doesn't knowingly collect any information from anyone, of any age, since it doesn't collect information at all beyond the on-device, non-transmitted uses described above.
If this policy ever changes, the date at the top will be updated and the new version posted at this same URL.
Since no personal data is collected or stored by us at all, there is nothing held about you to access, correct, or delete. If you have any questions about this, contact support@true-slate.com.
