Privacy Policy

Summary

Warry is a warranty and home inventory app that runs entirely on your device. Everything you enter or photograph — item names, brands, serial numbers, prices, receipts, warranty cards, notes — is written to a local database on your device and is never sent to OZJAM. We run no server for the app to talk to, we do not ask you to create an account, and we could not see your inventory even if you asked us to. The single exception is advertising: Warry shows one banner ad through Google AdMob, and Google processes some technical data, including the device’s advertising identifier, to serve and measure it and, depending on your choices, to personalise it. Everything below is the detail behind that paragraph.

What Warry stores, and where

Warry keeps an IndexedDB database, managed with Dexie, in the private area the operating system (iOS or Android) gives each installed app — the part only the app itself can reach. What is in it is what you put there:

• Item details — name, brand, model, serial number, category, location, purchase date, warranty end date, price and currency (TRY, USD, EUR or GBP).
• Notes — any free text you write against an item.
• Images — one main product photo per item, plus the supporting documents you attach: receipts, invoices, warranty cards. All of them are stored as images on the device.
• Your settings — the app language (English, Türkçe, Español, Deutsch), your preferred currency, and your locations: home, office, summer house, other, plus any you create yourself, up to five in total.

Photos are either taken with the camera or picked from your photo library, then copied into the app’s own storage. That copy never leaves the device either: no photo and no frame is sent to us or to any other server.

There is no cloud, no sync, no login and no server-side backup. Your data sits in exactly one place: the device you typed it on. Install Warry on a second device and it opens empty.

What OZJAM receives

Nothing from the app. Warry has no analytics SDK, no crash reporter and no telemetry; no account system; and no OZJAM server to talk to. Your items, your photos, your notes, your device identifier and your IP address do not reach us through the app.

The only way we can end up holding anything about you is if you write to us. A support e-mail brings us your address and whatever you put in the message. We use it to answer you and for nothing else — no marketing list, no profiling. We delete the correspondence a short while after the matter is closed.

This page covers the app. The ozjam.com website is a separate matter with its own, equally short policy: see the website privacy policy.

Permissions the app asks for

On iPhone and iPad, iOS asks for permission the first time a feature needs it, and shows the reason Warry declared. Warry requests four there; three are about photographs and one is about the ad:

Warry asks for nothing else. No location, no contacts, no microphone, no health data, no calendars, no notifications. You can review or withdraw what you granted at any time in Settings › Warry on iOS, or Settings › Apps › Warry on Android.

On Android, Warry requests no runtime permission at all. Taking a photo opens the phone’s own camera app and picking one opens the system photo picker, and only the image you choose is handed back to Warry. The one permission the app declares itself is internet access, for the ad; the ads SDK adds the Android advertising-ID permission (AD_ID) to it, which is the subject of the advertising section below.

Warry sends no push notifications, so it never asks for permission to. When you open the app, the dashboard flags warranties expiring within the next 30 days; no alarm is set and nothing runs in the background.

Advertising and Google AdMob

Warry is free and has no subscription. It pays for itself with a single banner ad at the bottom of the screen, served by Google AdMob through the official Capacitor AdMob plugin. This is the only third-party SDK in the app; saying otherwise would be untrue, so we write it plainly.

To serve that ad, the Google ads SDK in Warry collects the device’s advertising identifier and the data below and shares them with Google, to serve and measure the ad and, where allowed, to personalise it. In doing so, Google may process:

• device and app identifiers, including the device’s advertising identifier — Apple’s IDFA on iPhone (only if you allow tracking) and the Android advertising ID on Android — used to show and measure the ad, cap how often it is shown, prevent fraud and, where permitted, personalise it;
• an approximate location derived from your IP address: country or city level, not your exact position;
• ad interaction data: whether an ad was shown, and whether it was tapped;
• general technical information such as device model, operating system version and language, plus the ad SDK’s own crash and diagnostic logs.

For that processing Google acts as an independent controller and uses the data under its own rules. How data is used in advertising is at policies.google.com/technologies/ads, and how Google uses information from apps that use its services is at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

From version 1.3, Warry shows Apple’s App Tracking Transparency (ATT) prompt once on iPhone and iPad. Where Google’s consent form is shown, it comes first; then iOS asks whether Warry may track your activity across other companies’ apps and websites, which is what gives access to your advertising identifier (IDFA). The prompt carries Warry’s explanation: “Warry uses this to show ads that are relevant to you. Your items, photos and documents always stay on this device.” If you allow it, Warry stops forcing a non-personalised request, so Google may personalise the ad (in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, only if you also agreed in Google’s consent form). If you decline, or if “Allow Apps to Request to Track” is turned off (then iOS answers no for you without showing the prompt), the request is non-personalised and the IDFA is not available. Declining switches off no feature of Warry; only the ad is not personalised. If Google’s consent step cannot be completed, Warry shows neither the prompt nor an ad. Before 1.3 Warry never asked for this permission, so the IDFA was never available to it; versions 1.1 and 1.2 also always requested non-personalised ads.

In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, on both platforms, Google shows a consent form (its User Messaging Platform) before the first ad loads. It asks whether data may be stored and read on your device for the ad, and whether the ads may be personalised. If you do not consent, the ad request is still made, but Google then serves at most a “limited” ad that uses no identifiers, or none at all; the rest of the app works exactly as before. Android has no ATT and Warry shows no prompt of its own there: outside the EEA, the UK and Switzerland the ad may be personalised using the Android advertising ID by default, unless you delete that ID (see below); inside those regions it depends on your choice in this form.

You can change your mind at any time. On iPhone: Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking › Warry (on iOS 15, Settings › Privacy › Tracking). On Android: Settings › Privacy › Ads (Settings › Google › Ads on some devices), where you can reset your advertising ID and, from Android 12, delete it; resetting only gives you a new ID, while deleting it is what stops it being used for personalised ads. Inside the app: the “Ad privacy choices” row on the Settings screen, which appears only where Google’s consent form is required (for example in the EEA and the UK). A change takes effect the next time you open Warry. Apple’s own personalised-ads setting is under Settings › Privacy & Security › Apple Advertising.

What the ad never carries is your content. Your items, photos, documents, prices and notes are not read by the ad SDK and are not sent to Google or to any ad network. The ad is a banner and nothing more: no full-screen interstitials, no rewarded video, no ads mixed into your inventory.

Children

Warry is a general-purpose household utility, not a product aimed at children, and it is not marketed to them. Because it has no account system and sends nothing to us, we hold no personal data about children or anyone else. The ad does involve data: the Google ads SDK in the app collects the advertising identifier and the other ad data described above and shares them with Google to serve and measure the ad.

The advertising section above applies to whoever is holding the device. Warry asks Google to limit its ads to the “General” content rating, suitable for all audiences. A parent who wants tighter control can switch off tracking requests in iOS Settings and use Screen Time, or on Android use Google Play’s parental controls and Family Link, to manage what gets installed.

Keeping and deleting your data

There is nothing on our side to retain, so we publish no retention period for app data: it never reached us. On your device, the data stays until you remove it. There are two ways:

• Delete a single item in the app. Its photos, documents and notes go with it.
• Delete Warry from your device. The operating system removes the app’s entire storage area and the database goes with it. No copy is left anywhere.

Warry has no export function today. If a receipt matters to you beyond the app, keep the original photograph in your photo library as well; that copy is yours and stays put whatever you do to Warry.

The architecture that protects you also limits us. OZJAM cannot read, export, restore or delete your Warry data on request, because we have never held it. If you delete the app and have no other copy of the photographs, that content is gone, and nobody — us included — can bring it back.

Your rights

If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, the GDPR gives you rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, objection and data portability. If you are in Türkiye, Article 11 of Law No. 6698 on the Protection of Personal Data gives you a comparable set: to learn whether your data is processed, to ask for it to be corrected or deleted, and to object to an adverse result produced solely by automated analysis.

For Warry these rights have an unusual answer: we hold no personal data to disclose, correct, port or erase. All of it is already yours, on your own device, with a delete button inside the app. Access and portability are, in practice, the app’s own screens.

Where the rights do bite is in two places: the e-mails you have sent us, and the data Google processes to serve the ad. For the first, write to us; we will tell you what we hold and delete it if you want. For the second, Google is the controller: use the Google policy and controls linked in the advertising section, together with the device settings described there.

Data controller

• Controller: the independent developer trading as OZJAM
• Contact: support@ozjam.com
• Country: Türkiye

We answer requests as fast as we can, and requests under the Turkish data protection law within thirty days at the latest. You are also free to complain to the competent supervisory authority; in Türkiye that is the Personal Data Protection Authority.

International users

Warry is built in Türkiye and can be downloaded wherever the App Store and Google Play are offered. Because the app transmits nothing to us, there is no international transfer of your inventory to consider: it does not cross a border, because it does not leave your device.

Two things do happen outside your device, and neither of them is ours. The ad request goes to Google, which runs a global network and may process that request in countries other than yours, under the safeguards set out in its own policy. And downloading or updating the app is a transaction between you and Apple or Google, covered by that store’s privacy policy rather than this one.

Changes to this policy

If Warry changes in a way that affects this page — a new permission, a different SDK, a change in how the ad is served — we update the text and move the effective date at the top. Significant changes are also noted in the store release notes for the version that introduces them.

We cannot e-mail you about it, because we do not have your address. This page is the record; the date at the top tells you when the text last moved.

18 October 2026: updated for Warry 1.3. On iPhone, Warry now shows a tracking-permission (ATT) prompt and, if you allow it, the ad may be personalised; on Android, ads are no longer always requested as non-personalised. Nothing changed for your inventory: it still lives only on your device.
