Hexpiry Privacy Policy

Hexpiry (“the app”) helps you track expiring documents and items and reminds you before they expire. Your privacy is built into how the app works: Hexpiry has no server of its own and is designed so that your information never reaches the developer or any third party.

What data the app stores, and where

Hexpiry stores the information you choose to enter about your items — for example a name or label, an expiry date, an optional reference number, a category, a country, notes, and which person an item belongs to.

This information is stored:

• Locally on your device, in the app’s on-device database; and
• In your private iCloud account (Apple’s CloudKit private database), if iCloud is enabled on your device, so it can sync across your own devices.

The developer has no access to your iCloud data. It is stored under your Apple ID, governed by Apple’s Privacy Policy and iCloud terms. Hexpiry never transmits your data to the developer or to any other party.

Document scanning

Hexpiry can use your device camera to scan a document and pre-fill an item’s details. Scanning and text recognition happen entirely on your device using Apple’s on-device frameworks. Scanned images are processed in memory to read the text and are not stored or transmitted anywhere. The camera is used only while you are actively scanning.

When scanning a payment card, Hexpiry deliberately keeps only the last few digits of the card number — never the full card number — because the app tracks expiry, not secrets.

Notifications

With your permission, Hexpiry schedules local notifications on your device to remind you before an item expires. These reminders are generated and delivered entirely on your device. No notification content is sent to the developer or any external service.

Biometric lock

You may optionally require Face ID or Touch ID to open the app. This is handled by iOS; Hexpiry never receives or stores your biometric data.

Information the developer receives

None from the app itself. If you contact the developer by email for support, the developer will receive whatever you choose to include in that message, and will use it only to respond to you.

If you download Hexpiry from the App Store, Apple may provide the developer with aggregated, anonymous statistics (such as download counts and crash summaries). This data is collected and anonymised by Apple and does not identify you. See Apple’s privacy information for details.

Children’s privacy

Hexpiry is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect information from children.

Your control over your data

Because your data lives on your device and in your own iCloud account, you are in control of it:

• Delete an item in the app to remove it from your device and your iCloud.
• Manage or remove the app’s iCloud data through your device’s iCloud settings.
• Deleting the app removes its local data from that device.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at this address with a new effective date.
