Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

Paperplane is an iPhone app for invoices and estimates, developed by Sergei Stasenko (“we”). For any question about privacy, write to ssx51f@gmail.com.

2. Your documents and business data

Everything you enter (business details and logo, invoices, estimates, receipts, clients, items, expenses, time entries, photos, attachments and signatures) is stored on your device. Paperplane has no sign-in and no account, and we don't run a server that receives this data. We can't see, read or recover it.

When you send a document, it leaves your device only through the channel you choose (Mail, Messages, AirDrop, Files, a printer or another app) and goes to the recipient you pick. That transfer is handled by Apple or by the app you choose, not by us.

3. iCloud

If you're signed in to iCloud, Paperplane keeps your data in sync between your devices through Apple's CloudKit, in the private database of your own iCloud account. A few small settings, such as which document you sent for free, are kept in iCloud key-value storage. If you turn on “Save sent PDFs to iCloud Drive” (Settings › Import & Export), copies of the PDFs you send go to the Paperplane folder in your iCloud Drive.

All of this lives in your Apple Account, and we have no access to it. Apple's handling of iCloud data is described in the Apple Privacy Policy.

4. Purchases and subscriptions

Payments are processed by Apple through the App Store. We never see your name, your Apple Account or your payment details.

To know whether Pro is active on your devices, the app uses RevenueCat, a subscription service. RevenueCat receives a random app user ID created on your device, your App Store purchase history for Paperplane (product, price, dates, store country) and basic technical information such as the app and iOS version. This data isn't linked to your identity and isn't used for advertising. See the RevenueCat Privacy Policy.

5. Usage statistics

To learn which features are used, the app sends anonymous events through TelemetryDeck, a privacy-focused analytics service. For example: a document was created or sent, the upgrade screen was shown, or which answer you picked in an optional short survey. Events carry the app version, iOS version, device model, language and region, and a random install ID that the TelemetryDeck SDK hashes before it leaves the device. They never contain document contents, client details, amounts, names or email addresses, and they are never combined with data from other companies.

Statistics are on by default. You can turn them off at any time in Settings › App Settings › “Share usage statistics”. While the switch is off, nothing is collected or sent later. See the TelemetryDeck Privacy Policy.

6. Permissions on your device

• Camera: used only when you take a photo of your logo, an expense receipt or an attachment for a document. The photo is stored with your data.
• Photos: Paperplane only adds images you export (“Download as image”) and doesn't read your library. Photos you attach are chosen in the system picker, which gives the app only the photos you select.
• Contacts: when you import clients from Contacts, the system picker gives the app only the contacts you tap. The app doesn't read your address book.
• Notifications: reminders, for example about an invoice due today, are scheduled on your device. We don't send push notifications; iCloud uses silent notifications to sync your data.
• Widgets: the Home Screen widget reads a summary that the app keeps on your device.

7. What we don't do

No ads. No tracking across apps or websites and no advertising identifier (IDFA), so the app never asks for tracking permission. We don't sell or share personal information, and we don't build profiles.

8. Retention and deletion

Your data stays until you delete it. Settings › Account › “Delete all data” removes every business, document and client from this device and from iCloud. Deleting the app removes its data from the device; data in iCloud can also be managed in the iOS Settings app › your name › iCloud.

Usage statistics and purchase records aren't linked to your name or contact details, so we usually can't find the ones that belong to you. TelemetryDeck and RevenueCat keep them under their own retention policies, and Apple keeps its own purchase records. If you'd like us to try to locate or delete something, write to us.

9. Children

Paperplane is a business tool and isn't directed at children under 13 (or the minimum age in your country). We don't knowingly collect personal information from children.

10. Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR in the EU and the UK, or the CCPA in California), you may have the right to access, correct, delete or export your personal data and to object to its processing. Most of your data is already under your control, on your device and in iCloud.

Purchase data is processed to provide the subscription you bought; anonymous statistics are processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in improving the app, and you can turn them off. RevenueCat and TelemetryDeck may process data outside your country, with the safeguards described in their policies. For any request, write to ssx51f@gmail.com. You may also complain to your local data protection authority.

11. Changes to this policy

We'll post any update on this page with a new effective date. If a future version of Paperplane adds features that need our own server, this policy will describe them before they're released.
