Your objects stay on your phone.
Everything Buckets knows is kept on this phone. There is no account, and your objects are not uploaded.
It requests access to your contacts, photos and calendar in order to list them. Access is read-only.
Sharing with other users and online copies are not part of the app.
A distance search (“who lives within 8 km of me”) sends the address to your phone’s map service to find out where it is, and asks your phone where you are. If you never ask a distance question, nothing is sent. The map itself is drawn from squares fetched from OpenStreetMap as you look at it; the addresses are not sent there.
Premium recognition happens on the phone too: faces, places, objects and text are read here, and no picture is sent anywhere.
