Privacy Policy — Warranty Home

Last Updated: 2026-08-06 Effective Date: 2026-08-06


1. Summary

Warranty Home does not collect your data.

Everything you put into the app — your warranties, receipt photos, and display name — is stored only on your device. There is no account, no sign-up, no server, no analytics, and no advertising. Nothing you enter is transmitted to us or to anyone else.

We cannot see your data, because we never receive it.

3. What Data the App Stores

All of the following is stored exclusively in on-device storage and never leaves your device:

Data Why it exists
Product name, brand, model, serial number Warranty tracking
Purchase date, price, invoice number Warranty period calculation and your records
Warranty duration and end date Expiry tracking and reminders
Notes Your own reference
Receipt photos and product images Proof of purchase and visual identification
Display name (optional) Personalising the greeting on the home screen

You are not asked for an email address, a password, or any account credentials, because there is no account system.


4. What the App Does NOT Collect

There are no third-party SDKs of any kind in this app. No data is shared with anyone, because no data is gathered.


5. Receipt Scanning (OCR)

When you scan a receipt, text recognition runs entirely on your device:

In both cases, the receipt image and the text extracted from it never leave your device and are never sent to any OCR service, server, or third party. This was a deliberate design choice — receipts are financial documents.


6. Camera and Photo Library Access

The app asks for permission to use your camera and photo library only so you can capture or select a receipt image to attach to a warranty.


7. Notifications

The app schedules local notifications on your device to remind you 30 days before, 7 days before, and on the day a warranty expires.

These are generated entirely on your device by iOS. There is no push notification server, and no notification content is transmitted anywhere.


8. Network Access

Warranty Home works fully offline and does not require an internet connection.

The only time the app opens a network connection is when you deliberately tap a link to this Privacy Policy or the Terms of Service, which opens the page in your browser. No app data is included in that request.


9. Data Retention and Deletion

Because your data is stored only on your device, you are in complete control of it:

Action How
View all your data It is all visible in the app
Correct your data Edit any warranty record in the app
Delete individual records Delete any warranty from its detail screen
Export all your data Profile → Export My Data (produces a JSON file you can save or share)
Delete everything Profile → Delete All My Data, or delete the app from your device

Deleting the app removes all of its stored data from your device. We retain nothing, because we hold nothing.


10. Your Rights

Data protection laws such as the GDPR (EU/EEA), the CCPA (California), and India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 give you rights over personal data held by a company — including access, correction, erasure, and portability.

Warranty Home is designed so that these rights are exercised directly in the app, without needing to contact us: your data is on your device, you can read it, edit it, export it as JSON, and delete it at any time.

We do not hold any copy of your personal data and therefore cannot access, produce, correct, or delete it on your behalf. If you have questions about this, please contact us using the details in Section 14.


11. Children's Privacy

Warranty Home does not collect personal data from anyone, including children. The app is rated for general audiences and contains no user-generated content sharing, messaging, or advertising.


12. Security

Your data is protected by your device's own security — passcode, Face ID or Touch ID, and iOS's app sandbox, which prevents other apps from reading Warranty Home's storage.

Please note that data stored on your device is only as secure as the device itself. We recommend using a device passcode and keeping iOS up to date. Because your data exists only on your device, it is not backed up to any server by us — if you lose your device, you lose the data unless you have exported it or your device backup includes app data.


13. Changes to This Policy

If this policy changes, the "Last Updated" date above will change. If a future version of the app ever introduces optional cloud sync or accounts, we will publish an updated policy and ask for your explicit consent before any data leaves your device.


14. Contact

For any privacy-related question or complaint:

Karan Singh (Grievance Officer under the IT Act, 2000) Email: s.karankjs@gmail.com Response time: Within 30 days

If you are in the EU/EEA, you may lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. If you are in India, you may raise a complaint with the Data Protection Board of India under the DPDP Act, 2023.


15. Applicable Law

This Privacy Policy is governed by the laws of India, including the Information Technology Act, 2000 and the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 to the extent notified and in force. For users in the EU/EEA the GDPR applies in addition; for users in California, the CCPA applies in addition.
