Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how Apparent Logic, LLC ("we," "us," or "our") handles data in connection with the Check ID mobile application (the "App").

By using the App, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this policy, please do not use the App.

Check ID is designed with privacy as a fundamental principle. We believe the best way to protect your privacy is to not collect your data in the first place.

We do not collect any personally identifiable information from you or from scanned IDs.

Your Private Data (Stored in Your iCloud)

The following information is stored in your private iCloud container and syncs across your devices. This data is protected by Apple's iCloud security and is never accessible to us or any third party:

• Barcode Scan Hashes: When you scan an ID barcode, a one-way cryptographic hash of the barcode data is stored in your iCloud container. This hash is used solely to detect duplicate scans and cannot be reversed to reveal the original barcode information.
• Guest Lists: Names, notes, and other information you manually enter into guest lists are stored in your private iCloud container.
• App Preferences: Your settings and preferences (such as minimum age thresholds) are stored in your iCloud container.

Anonymous Usage Analytics

We collect limited, anonymous usage analytics to monitor the health and performance of the App. This helps us identify bugs and performance issues.

What we DO collect (anonymously):

• Feature usage statistics (e.g., which features are used most often)
• Performance metrics (e.g., app launch time, response time)
• Device type and iOS version (for compatibility testing)

What we DO NOT collect:

• IP addresses
• Customer identifiers or account information
• Any information from scanned ID barcodes
• Names, addresses, or any data from guest lists
• Location data
• Any personally identifiable information

Your Private Data

Data stored in your private iCloud container is used exclusively for the App's functionality:

• Barcode hashes enable duplicate detection to alert you when the same ID is scanned multiple times
• Guest list information helps you manage entry control and track attendees
• Preferences customize the App to your specific needs
• iCloud sync allows your data to be available across all your devices

Anonymous Analytics

Anonymous usage analytics are used solely to:

• Improve app performance and reliability
• Understand which features are most valuable to users
• Ensure compatibility across different devices and iOS versions

Your personal data is never shared, sold, rented, or transmitted to any third party for any purpose.

Check ID uses only anonymous, privacy-respecting analytics. Zero advertising. Zero tracking.

What We Use

We collect anonymous usage analytics to monitor app health and performance. This is limited to basic feature usage statistics and performance metrics—all without any personally identifiable information.

What We DO NOT Use

• Google Analytics or similar services - Never
• Facebook Pixel or social media trackers - Never
• Third-party analytics frameworks - Never
• Data brokers or data sharing networks - Never
• Advertising networks or SDKs - Never
• Behavioral profiling or user tracking - Never
• IP address collection - Never
• Cross-app tracking - Never

There are NO advertisements in Check ID. Your attention is not for sale.

Check ID does not share your personal data with any third-party services.

The App connects to the following services:

• Apple iCloud: Your guest lists and app preferences are stored in your private iCloud container, governed by Apple's privacy policies
• Apple App Store: For app downloads, updates, and in-app purchases (if applicable)
• Our servers: Anonymous usage analytics only (no personally identifiable information)

We do NOT integrate with, share data with, or connect to:

• Google or Facebook services
• Third-party analytics platforms
• Advertising networks
• Data brokers or marketing platforms
• Social media integrations
• Any service that collects personally identifiable information

We take data security seriously and implement multiple layers of protection:

Your Private Data

• iCloud Encryption: Your guest lists and scan history are stored in your private iCloud container, protected by Apple's end-to-end encryption
• Device Security: Data on your device is protected by iOS encryption, passcodes, and biometric authentication
• No ID Data Transmission: Scanned ID information never leaves your device—it cannot be breached because we never receive it
• Cryptographic Hashing: ID barcode data is stored as one-way hashes that cannot be reversed

Anonymous Analytics

• Anonymous analytics are transmitted over encrypted connections
• No personally identifiable information is included in analytics
• Analytics data cannot be linked back to individual users

While no system is 100% secure, our architecture ensures that even in the event of a security incident, your personal data and scanned ID information remain protected because we never collect them.

You have complete control over all your personal data stored by the App:

• Access: View all your guest lists and settings directly in the App at any time
• Modify: Edit or update any information you've entered
• Delete: Remove individual entries or clear all data through the App's settings
• Export: Your data is included in your iCloud backups and standard iOS device backups

You do not need to contact us to exercise these rights—you have direct control through the App interface.

When you delete the App, all local data is removed. Your iCloud data persists in your iCloud account and can be managed through iCloud settings.

Check ID is intended for use by adults (18+) in professional age verification and access control contexts. The App is not directed at children under 13.

We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. Because anonymous usage analytics contain no personally identifiable information, the App complies with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and similar regulations.

Check ID complies with applicable privacy laws and regulations, including:

• GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)
• CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act)
• COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act)
• Other applicable privacy laws

Because we do not collect personally identifiable information or any data from scanned IDs, we have no personal data to provide in response to legal requests, subpoenas, or court orders related to individual users.

Anonymous analytics data cannot be linked to specific individuals and therefore cannot be used to identify users.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.

Material changes will be communicated through:

• App Store update notes
• In-app notifications
• This website

Your continued use of the App after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
