In short

Coffer works without an account and without our own server. Everything you enter stays on your device. We do not collect usage data and use no tracking, advertising or analytics.

iCloud sync (optional, with Pro)

If you turn on “iCloud Sync” in the settings, Apple additionally stores your entries and photos in your private iCloud (CloudKit) so they appear on your other devices with the same Apple Account. The provider is then Apple; we have no access to this data. You can turn sync off at any time in the settings; you manage the data in iCloud in iOS Settings under your name → iCloud.

Data processed by the app

In Coffer you enter details about your items: name, brand, category, place or room, value, purchase price and date, warranty end, barcode, serial number, notes and photos. Optionally you add your name for the PDF report. You pick photos yourself from your library or take them with the camera. The barcode scanner only uses the camera while it is open; camera images are not stored. Barcodes are only compared with your own entries: the app does not query any online product database. Warranty reminders are local iOS notifications.

This data is stored only locally in the app’s protected storage on your device. It is not transmitted to us or to third parties. Depending on your device settings it is part of your device backup (iCloud or computer), which Apple or you manage.

Sharing

When you send a document by email, message or the share menu, this happens through the app you choose. You decide on recipients and content. You are responsible for sharing data of third parties (e.g. your customers).

Permissions

The app only asks for permissions needed for a feature (camera for photos and the barcode scanner, notifications for warranty reminders). You can revoke them anytime in iOS Settings. Picking photos from your library needs no permission: you only share the selected images.

Purchases and subscriptions

The basic features of Coffer are free. You can unlock Pro with a yearly subscription or with a one-time purchase (Lifetime). All purchases are handled entirely through your Apple Account and the App Store; Apple’s terms apply, in particular the Standard License Agreement (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/. We receive no payment or personal data, only the purchase confirmation signed by Apple, which the app checks on your device to unlock Pro. Apple’s privacy policy applies: https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/

• Auto-renewal: Subscriptions renew automatically for the chosen period at the price shown unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Payment is charged to your Apple Account.
• Cancellation: anytime in your Apple Account settings under “Subscriptions” (in the app also via “Manage subscriptions”). Pro stays active until the end of the paid period; after that the free version applies again and your data is kept.
• Free trial: For new subscribers, the yearly subscription starts with a free trial of 7 days. If you cancel at least 24 hours before it ends, you won’t be charged; otherwise it automatically converts into the paid yearly subscription. The trial is available once per Apple Account.
• Lifetime: a one-time purchase with no renewal and no further costs.
• Refunds are handled by Apple only (https://reportaproblem.apple.com).

Email support

If you email us, we process your address and message only to answer your request (Art. 6(1)(b) and (f) GDPR) and delete them when no longer needed.

Your rights

You have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction, data portability and objection (Art. 15-21 GDPR) and the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. Since your app data stays on your device, you can change, export or delete it there at any time.
