Home Inventory is an app for iPhone, iPad and Mac, made by me, Amer Khalid. This policy covers the app, not this website.
The short version#
Home Inventory doesn’t collect any information about you. Your inventory stays on your devices, and I can’t see it. The app has no accounts, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking.
What the app stores, and where#
Everything you enter (items, photos, receipts, documents, rooms, values, serial numbers and notes) is stored on your devices, inside the app’s own storage.
If you’re signed in to iCloud, your inventory is also kept in your private iCloud database so it appears on your other devices. Apple stores that data under your Apple Account, and I have no access to it. Turning off iCloud for Home Inventory in your device’s settings stops syncing.
Backups and reports you create are files that you save or share yourself. Where they go is up to you.
Apple Intelligence and text recognition#
Receipt reading, photo suggestions and describe-to-add run on your device using Apple’s on-device models. Your photos, receipts and descriptions are never sent to me, to Apple’s Private Cloud Compute, or to anyone else.
Camera, photos and Face ID#
The camera is used only when you take a photo, scan a document, or scan a barcode or label, and only what you choose to keep is saved. Photos you pick from your library are copied into the app; the app can’t see the rest of your library. When app lock is on, Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode is checked by your device; the app never receives biometric data.
Notifications#
Warranty reminders are scheduled on your device. No server is involved.
Purchases#
The Unlimited Items purchase is handled by Apple through the App Store. I receive no payment details and no personal information about you.
Children#
Home Inventory isn’t directed at children and collects no information from anyone, children included.
Changes#
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted here with a new date.
