The short version. Footing: Home Improvement Log stores your improvement record on your own device and in your own iCloud account. We do not have accounts, we do not have a copy of your data, and we do not track you. The only thing that ever leaves your device is a receipt image you choose to scan, and only for the moment it takes to read it.
Footing: Home Improvement Log ("the app") is developed and operated by Kerem Karayagiz ("we", "us"). You can reach us at support@keremkarayagiz.com.tr for any question about this policy or about your data.
Everything you enter into the app — properties, improvements, amounts, dates, categories, contractor names, permit numbers, notes and receipt images — is stored in two places only:
The CloudKit private database belongs to you, not to us. We have no technical ability to read, export or recover it. If you sign out of iCloud or disable iCloud for the app, syncing stops and your data remains on the device.
Receipt scanning is optional. Nothing is transmitted unless you choose to scan a receipt.
When you scan one, the image is sent over an encrypted connection to our server, which immediately forwards it to OpenAI for a single analysis to read the vendor name, date, total amount and a suggested category. The extracted fields are returned to your device and shown to you for review before anything is saved.
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Do you store the receipt image on your server? | No. The image is held in memory for the duration of the request and is not written to disk or to any database. |
| Do you keep the extracted text? | No. It is returned to your device and discarded. |
| Is the image linked to you? | No. No account, name, email, device identifier or IP-based profile is attached to the request. |
| What does OpenAI do with it? | OpenAI processes the image to produce the response. Under its API terms, OpenAI does not use API data to train its models, and may retain request data for a limited period for abuse monitoring before deleting it. See openai.com/policies. |
If you prefer not to send any image anywhere, do not use the scan feature. Every field in the app can be typed in manually, and the app is fully functional without scanning.
Subscriptions and the one-time purchase are processed entirely by Apple through the App Store. We never see your name, payment card, billing address or Apple Account details. The app only receives a signed confirmation from Apple indicating whether an active entitlement exists.
The app requests camera access only so you can photograph a receipt. Images captured this way are stored in your record as described above. Camera access can be revoked at any time in iOS Settings, and the app continues to work with manual entry.
You are in full control. In the app, open Settings → Delete all data to permanently erase every property, improvement and receipt from the device and from your iCloud private database. This action cannot be undone. Deleting the app from your device also removes its local database.
Because we hold no copy of your content, there is nothing for us to delete on our side and no deletion request needs to be sent to us.
The app is a recordkeeping tool for property owners and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, export or erase personal data held about you. Since your record is held only on your device and in your own iCloud account, you can exercise all of these directly within the app. If you believe we hold information about you and would like to make a request, write to support@keremkarayagiz.com.tr.
Traffic between the app and our server is encrypted with HTTPS. Data stored in iCloud is protected by Apple's account security and the protections you have enabled on your Apple Account. Because we operate no user database, there is no central store of your records to breach.
If this policy changes in a way that affects how your information is handled, the updated version will be published on this page with a new date at the top. Material changes will also be noted in the app's release notes.
