PocketPass Lite Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 6, 2026

PocketPass Lite (the "App") is developed by Mark Pticar ("we", "us"). This policy describes what happens to your data when you use the App.

What the App stores, and where

• Your cards — the codes, names, cover images, notes, and locations you save — are stored in your device's local storage. They are never uploaded to us or to any third-party service.
• Backups happen only where you choose: an automatic backup can write a backup file to a folder you select yourself in Files, and manual exports go wherever you send them. We have no access to those folders. Backup and export files are not encrypted by the App — anyone who can open the file can read the card details inside it — so keep them somewhere private.
• Store passwords, if you ever save one for a store login, are stored in the iOS Keychain, separately from your card data, and are never included in a backup or export file.
• Cards near you — when you save a location for a card, that card's name and code are copied into a storage area shared with the App's own widget and share extension, so the widget can display the card without opening the App. This stays on your device. If you turn on the App's lock, nothing is published there at all.

What the App asks permission for

• Camera — to scan codes so you can add them as cards. Scanning happens on your device.
• Location — so the App (and its Home Screen widget) can show the right card when you're near a location you saved yourself. Background location is used only for this region detection, and your location data is never sent to us. One transparency note: the map features inside the App (address search, map imagery, static map previews) are provided by Apple's own map services, and using them may send coordinates or search text to Apple, handled under Apple's privacy policy (apple.com/privacy). No map or location data reaches us.
• Face ID / Touch ID — only if you turn on the App's lock, to keep your cards private.
• Local network — only if you use Family Sync, which connects your device directly to other family members' devices running PocketPass Lite that you deliberately pair by entering a shared PIN. Synced data travels device-to-device over your local network; it never passes through any server operated by us. If a future version lets you opt in to sharing a saved store login, that login's email address and password would travel over that same direct connection to the devices you paired with, and only to them.

What we collect

Nothing. The App contains no analytics, no advertising, no tracking, no crash-reporting service, and no third-party SDKs. We do not receive, store, or see any of your data — card content, photos, location, or usage — because none of it is ever transmitted to us. The App Privacy section on our App Store listing reflects this: no data is collected.

In-app purchases

The Tip Jar offers optional, one-time tips. Purchases are processed entirely by Apple under Apple's own privacy policy; we never learn who tipped, and the App contains no purchase history that reaches us.

Children

PocketPass Lite contains no content or features directed at children and collects no data from anyone, including children. Family Sync is a device-to-device feature controlled entirely by the people pairing their devices.

Changes

If a future version of the App ever changes how data is handled, we will update this policy and the App Privacy section of the App Store listing before that version ships.

Who is responsible for your data

Under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the data controller for PocketPass Lite is:

Mark Pticar
Slovenia
support@pticar.si

Your rights

Because PocketPass Lite stores everything on your device and transmits nothing to us, we hold no personal data about you — there is no account, no server, and no record of you on our side. In practice that means your GDPR rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability and objection are things you exercise directly on your own device:

• Access and portability — Settings → Export All Cards writes every card to a JSON file you control.
• Rectification — edit any card in the App at any time.
• Erasure — delete individual cards, or delete the App, which removes all of its local data. Any backup file you created yourself stays where you put it until you delete it.

If you believe we hold personal data about you regardless, contact us at the address above and we will respond within 30 days. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your national supervisory authority — in Slovenia, the Information Commissioner (Informacijski pooblaščenec, ip-rs.si).

Governing law

This policy is governed by the laws of Slovenia and the European Union.
