Privacy policy: Loyalty Cards (working name): Offline Card Wallet

Status: this app is in development and has not been released yet. This policy describes what the app is designed to do, as written in its specification; it will be reviewed again before release.

In short

The app is a wallet for loyalty, customer, library and membership cards. It works on your phone only. It has no account, no advertising, no analytics and no tracking, and it contains no network code. Nothing is sent anywhere.

What is stored on your phone

• For each card, in a local database: its name, the number printed on it, the barcode content and format, colour, notes, balance, valid-from and expiry dates, favourite and archive marks, how often and when it was last used, and the categories you create.
• Optional photos of the front and back of a card, saved inside the app as JPEG files without photo metadata, plus a small thumbnail and a barcode image used by the home-screen widgets.
• Your settings, such as brightness boost, keep-awake, sort order, language and country for the list of chains.
• On iPhone the shared App Group holds only the widget snapshot and barcode images.
• Nothing is placed in a shared location until you export.

Permissions

• Camera: asked for once, when you first choose Scan, to read a barcode. There is no microphone use.
• Photos: chosen through the system picker, which needs no permission.
• No location, no contacts and no notifications. Android release builds have no internet permission.
• While a card is open the screen can be brightened and kept awake (both can be switched off in settings); the previous brightness is restored afterwards.

Backup and export

You export your cards yourself, as a backup file, in a format other card apps can read, or as CSV, and you can share a card with family as a QR code or a file. Android system backup of app data is off by default; your export is the backup. You decide where files go.

What the app does not do

No advertising, no analytics, no accounts, no network use. Planned store privacy labels: App Store "Data Not Collected"; Google Play collects nothing and shares nothing.
