Folio does not send your writing to an AI server. Apple Intelligence requires a supported device and must be enabled and available. Anonymous usage analytics help us improve Folio. They're on by default and include app opens, feature usage, and error codes, never your content. Turn them off in Settings to stop collection and delete the analytics already collected from your install.
