Privacy Policy

Effective date: July 8, 2026

What we store, and where

• Your matcha records — tins, usage logs, photos, and notes are stored in a local database on your iPhone.
• Photos — only photos you actively pick, or take with the in-app camera, are saved into the app's local database. The app cannot access the rest of your photo library; the camera is used only when you tap "Take Photo", and captured photos are not saved to your system photo library.

iCloud sync

When your device is signed in to iCloud with iCloud Drive enabled, your records sync between your devices through the private database of your own iCloud account — for example, your data follows you to a new iPhone. This data is held by Apple's iCloud service, protected by your Apple Account, and the developer has no means of reading it. Without iCloud, the app still works normally with data stored on-device only.

What we don't do

• No developer servers — syncing happens only through your own iCloud account, which we cannot access
• No analytics, tracking, or advertising SDKs
• No data sharing with any third party

Notifications

Expiry reminders are local notifications, scheduled and delivered entirely by your device. No server is involved.

Export and deletion

You can export your usage log as a CSV file from within the app (exported files are yours to manage). Deleting a tin or record removes it from the database, and the deletion syncs to the copy in your iCloud. Uninstalling the app deletes on-device data; synced iCloud data can be removed under Settings → Apple Account → iCloud → Manage Account Storage.

In-app purchases

Matchabook Pro purchases are handled by Apple's App Store. We never see your payment information.

Changes to this policy

If future features require changes to this policy, we will update this page and note the new effective date.
