ReleaseVault: ASO Metadata Privacy Policy

Controller and contact

The developer is responsible for this app. Questions and privacy requests: support.

Information handled by the app

Your app records, localized metadata, version history, notes and selected icons are stored locally with SwiftData. Supported iPhone, iPad and native Mac versions can synchronize through Apple CloudKit in your private iCloud database. Features and available platforms depend on the installed version shown in App Store. The developer has no dashboard for browsing your private database, and the app has no advertising or analytics SDK. The Watch companion receives a limited copy of app names, status, upcoming notes, versions and checklists from the paired iPhone through Apple WatchConnectivity. It stores this copy and queued checklist changes locally for offline use; it does not connect directly to CloudKit. Public App Store lookup sends the identifier you enter to Apple without uploading your portfolio. Silent iCloud notifications support synchronization without user reminders.

Permissions

Apple photo and file pickers provide only the items you select. Optional access protection uses the device-owner authentication available on each platform, such as Face ID, Touch ID or the device passcode. Apple manages biometric data; ReleaseVault does not receive it. When protection is enabled for the Watch companion, it also uses local owner authentication and wrist detection.

Purchases

Optional purchases are processed by Apple through StoreKit. The developer receives transaction status and product entitlement information needed to unlock features, not your full payment-card details. You can manage subscriptions in iOS Settings › Apple Account › Subscriptions.

Notifications

The app does not schedule user notifications in the audited feature set.

External services and recipients

The app requests functional data from: Apple CloudKit, Apple StoreKit, Apple iTunes Search API. Those requests may expose standard network information such as IP address to the provider. No advertising or cross-app tracking SDK was identified. Apple separately processes App Store, iCloud and operating-system services under its own terms.

Retention

Local records remain until you delete them or uninstall the app. Uninstalling alone does not remove private iCloud copies. Exported JSON backups and CSV files are not encrypted by ReleaseVault; they may contain your notes and metadata, and JSON also includes icons. Copies in Files, cloud drives or recipients’ devices remain until you remove them there. Keep backups in a location you trust. Support correspondence is retained only as needed to answer requests and meet legal obligations. The Watch companion keeps its own local cache and pending checklist queue. Removing only the iPhone app does not remove this copy; remove the companion from the Watch to remove its local data.

Delete your data

Delete records in ReleaseVault to request their deletion from the synchronized library. Uninstalling an app alone does not remove private iCloud copies. Manage iCloud storage in your Apple Account settings if you want to remove the app’s iCloud data. Delete exported files separately wherever you saved them. The Watch companion has its own local copy; remove the companion from the Watch to remove that local cache.

Your choices

Manage photo, file and authentication access in the Apple system settings for each device. On Mac, use System Settings; on iPhone and iPad, use Settings. Only selected files and photos are provided to the app. You can enable or disable the optional access lock in ReleaseVault. Denying access affects only the related feature.

Children

The app is not designed to collect personal information from children. The developer does not knowingly build profiles of children or use targeted advertising.

Changes

This policy will be updated when app features, permissions or integrated services materially change. The date above identifies the current version of the notice.
