Effective August 6, 2026 · Last updated August 6, 2026
Goodstand does not collect your personal information. Everything you enter — your entities, states, filing dates, and notes — is stored only on your device. There is no account, no login, and no server that receives your business records.
Goodstand is developed and published by Yasin Halit Karayağız, an independent software developer based in Istanbul, Türkiye. In this policy, "we," "us," and "our" refer to Yasin Halit Karayağız. "The app" refers to the Goodstand iOS application.
This policy explains what happens to information when you use the app. It applies only to the app itself and to this website.
The app is a deadline tracker. To do its job, it holds the information you type in, including:
All of this is written to a local database inside the app's private container on your iPhone or iPad. It is protected by your device passcode and iOS file encryption. We cannot read it, and we never receive a copy of it.
The app does not ask for your Employer Identification Number, Social Security Number, bank details, or any government-issued identifier, and you should not enter them.
Because the app performs no tracking as defined by Apple's App Tracking Transparency framework, it never shows a tracking permission prompt.
If you turn on sync, your app data is copied to your own private iCloud database using Apple's CloudKit service, so it can appear on your other Apple devices signed in to the same Apple Account. This data sits in your personal iCloud storage. It is governed by Apple's Privacy Policy, and we have no access to it, no ability to read it, and no ability to recover it for you.
Sync is optional. If you leave it off, nothing ever leaves your device.
Filing reminders are local notifications scheduled by the app on your device. Nothing is sent through a push server, and no notification content is transmitted anywhere. You can turn notifications on or off at any time in iOS Settings.
Optional paid features are sold through Apple's In-App Purchase system. Apple processes the transaction and handles your payment details; we never see or store your card number, billing address, or Apple Account information. The app receives only an anonymous receipt from Apple confirming whether a purchase is active.
Apple's handling of purchase data is described in Apple's Privacy Policy, linked above.
If you have opted in to share analytics with developers in your iOS settings, Apple may give us aggregated, anonymized statistics such as download counts, crash reports, and general usage trends through App Store Connect. These reports contain no personal information and cannot be used to identify you or to see the contents of your app data. This sharing is controlled by you in iOS Settings under Privacy & Security, then Analytics & Improvements.
| Data | Where it lives | Can we see it? |
|---|---|---|
| Entities, states, deadlines, notes | Your device (and your iCloud, if sync is on) | No |
| Reminder schedule | Your device | No |
| Purchase status | Apple | Only as an anonymous receipt |
| Crash and usage statistics | Apple, if you opted in | Aggregated only, not identifiable |
We do not sell, rent, share, or trade your information, because we do not have it. The app contains no advertising, no ad networks, and no data brokers. Apple is the only third party involved, and only in its role as the App Store operator, iCloud provider, and payment processor.
The app may show links to official state government websites, such as a Secretary of State filing portal. Opening one of those links takes you to a site we do not control and that has its own privacy practices.
Your data stays on your device for as long as you keep the app installed. You are in full control of it:
Since the app has no account system, there is no account for us to delete and no server-side copy of your records to erase.
The app is a business compliance tool intended for adults. It is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect any information from anyone under 13 years of age. Because the app collects no personal information at all, no such information can be received from a child.
Privacy laws in several regions give you rights over your personal information, including the right to know what is collected, the right to obtain a copy, the right to request deletion, and the right not to have your information sold or shared.
We honor all of these rights by design: we do not collect, store, sell, or share personal information, so there is nothing held by us to disclose, export, correct, or delete. Your data is already entirely in your own hands, and you can remove it at any time using the steps above.
This includes, without limitation, rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, other United States state privacy laws, the EU and UK General Data Protection Regulation, and Türkiye's Law on the Protection of Personal Data (KVKK). We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, and we never have.
If you believe we hold information about you, write to us at the address below and we will respond within 30 days.
Because your records never leave your control, the main safeguards are the ones already built into your device: passcode or biometric lock, iOS data protection, and encryption of the app's private container. If you enable iCloud sync, Apple encrypts your data in transit and at rest. We recommend keeping a device passcode enabled and iOS up to date.
The app helps you keep track of dates. It is not a law firm, an accounting firm, or a registered agent service, and nothing in the app or on this website is legal, tax, or financial advice. Filing requirements change and vary by state and entity type. Always confirm deadlines, fees, and requirements with the relevant Secretary of State or state agency, and consult a qualified professional for your own situation. You remain responsible for your own filings.
If this policy changes, we will post the revised version on this page and update the "Last updated" date at the top. Material changes will also be noted in the app's release notes. Continuing to use the app after a change means you accept the revised policy.
