Short version. WarrantyARK collects no data. Apple has verified this in the App Store privacy disclosure where the app is classified as Data Not Collected. Everything you put into the app stays on your device. We have no servers, no accounts, no analytics, no advertising.
Who we are
The WarrantyARK iOS app is published and operated by WideLabs GmbH, a software company registered in Switzerland.

What the app does
WarrantyARK is a tool for tracking warranties, receipts and service documents for items you own — in your home, business, vehicle, or borrowed from others. All this information is stored locally on your iPhone using Apple's standard app storage (Core Data and the iOS file system).
Data we collect
None. No name, no email, no location, no contacts, no photos beyond the ones you explicitly attach to your warranty entries, no identifiers, no usage analytics, no crash reports. Apple has verified this status and shows it in the App Store under "App Privacy" → "Data Not Collected".
Where your data lives
Your warranty records, photos and notes are stored exclusively on your device. There is no cloud database operated by us. There are no user accounts. You do not need to sign up or sign in to use WarrantyARK.
iCloud sync
If you have iCloud Drive or iCloud Backup enabled on your iPhone, iOS may automatically include WarrantyARK data in your standard Apple backup. This backup is:
- Made by Apple, not by us
- Encrypted by Apple
- Accessible only to you and synced to your other Apple devices signed in with the same Apple ID
- Governed by Apple's Privacy Policy
We have no access to your iCloud backup at any time.
Photo library access
When you attach a receipt photo to a warranty entry, iOS asks for your permission to access photos. You can grant access to all photos, selected photos only, or take a new picture with the camera. We process the photo locally and store it inside the app's sandboxed storage. The photo never leaves your device through us.
Notifications
WarrantyARK uses local notifications scheduled by iOS to remind you before a warranty expires. These notifications are managed entirely by iOS on your device — we do not send push notifications from any server because we have no servers.
Third-party SDKs
The app contains no third-party advertising, analytics, or tracking libraries. There is nothing in the app sending data anywhere.
Children's privacy
WarrantyARK is rated 4+ on the App Store. Since we collect no data from anyone, the app is suitable for use by all ages without privacy concerns.
Your rights
Because we hold no data about you, there is no data subject access request to fulfil and nothing for us to delete on your behalf. To remove your warranty records, simply delete the app from your device — iOS removes all app data automatically.
Changes to this policy
If we ever change how the app handles data — for example, if we add an optional sync service in the future — we will:
- Submit an updated app version with revised in-app disclosures
- Update Apple's App Store privacy nutrition label
- Update this page with revised text and a new "Last updated" date
You will not be enrolled in any new data processing without an explicit opt-in.
