StorageLabels

Privacy Policy

Last updated 28 September 2026

StorageLabels keeps your inventory on your phone. There is no account to create, and no server of ours holds a list of what you own. This policy explains the few places data does move, and why.

What stays on your device

Your boxes, locations, item text and photos are stored in the app's own storage on your phone. They are not uploaded, not synced, and not visible to us. We do not operate a server that holds your inventory, and that is an architectural decision rather than a policy one — there is nothing to switch on later.

What we never collect

No account, name, email address or password — the app never asks for one. No advertising identifiers. No analytics or usage tracking SDK. No location data. No contacts, calendar or health data.

Backups

Export creates a file and hands it to your phone's own share sheet. You choose where it goes — iCloud Drive, Files, AirDrop, another app. It never passes through us, and we cannot read it. That file is the only way your inventory moves to a new or reset device; restoring a purchase re-applies your plan but never your data. Anyone you send that file to can read everything in it, so treat it like any other document containing your belongings.

AI Snap

AI Snap is optional and only runs when you tap it. When you do, one photo is downscaled and re-encoded on your phone before it leaves — which removes the embedded metadata, including any location the camera recorded — and sent over an encrypted connection to our processing service, which passes it to our AI vendor to read the contents. The item list comes back and is saved on your phone.

What happens to the photo. We never store it — our service passes it straight through. Our AI vendor is Anthropic, and the photo reaches them as a request from us, their business customer. Under Anthropic's commercial terms, requests are deleted from their systems within 30 days and are never used to train their AI models. The one exception is Anthropic's own safety screening: if their automated systems flag a request as breaking their usage policy, they may keep it for up to 2 years. A photo of the contents of a storage box is very unlikely to be flagged.

What we keep. Alongside the photo we send an identifier that is generated on your device. It is not linked to your name, your Apple ID, or anything else about you. We keep a count of scans for that identifier — the number only, never the photo or the list — so we can apply your plan's allowance, and a short-lived count per network address so the service can't be flooded.

Apple DeviceCheck (free scans only). So that free scans can't be claimed over and over by reinstalling or by scripts, the app asks Apple for a one-time DeviceCheck token and we use it to ask Apple one yes/no question: has this device already started its free scans? Apple stores that single answer for our app. It does not tell us who you are or which device it is.

Purchases

Subscriptions and one-time purchases are handled entirely by Apple. We never see your card, billing address, or Apple ID. To know which features to unlock, we receive a purchase status — active or not — associated with the same anonymous device identifier described above, through our billing provider RevenueCat.

Children

StorageLabels is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect information from them. The app asks no one for personal information such as a name, email address or age.

Your rights

Laws such as the GDPR and CCPA give you rights to access, correct, export and delete personal data a company holds about you. The only data of yours that leaves your phone and stays with us is the AI Snap scan count and the purchase status tied to the anonymous identifier described above. Email [email protected] and we will delete them. Everything else is on your phone: the app can export all of it at any time, and deleting the app removes it.

Changes

If this policy changes we will update this page and the date above. Material changes will also be noted in the app.
