Warry for iOS

Privacy Policy

Warry keeps your warranties, receipts and belongings on your iPhone or iPad and nowhere else. This page explains what the app stores, what never leaves your device, and the one outside service it uses — the ad that keeps it free.

Effective date Applies to the Warry app for iPhone and iPad

At a glance

Stays on your device

Items, photos, receipts, prices and notes are written to a local database inside the app. None of it is uploaded, synced or backed up to us.

No account, ever

No sign-up, no e-mail, no password, no profile. Warry has no idea who you are, and neither do we.

One third party: Google AdMob

A single banner ad keeps the app free. Google processes technical ad-request data under its own policy. Your inventory is not part of that request.

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 iPhone or iPad 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 in order to serve 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 iOS 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

iOS asks for permission the first time a feature needs it, and shows the reason Warry declared. Warry requests three, and all three are about photographs:

Permission Why Warry asks If you decline
Camera To photograph an item, a receipt or a warranty card. The camera only opens when you choose to take a picture. You can still type everything by hand and pick images from your library.
Photo library (read) To attach an image you already have: the receipt you photographed at the till, or the warranty card sitting in your camera roll. You can still use the camera, or add the item with no images at all.
Photo library (add) To save an image back to your library when you want a copy outside the app. Nothing else changes; that copy simply is not written.

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 iOS Settings › Warry.

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 plugin contacts Google. In doing so, Google may process:

  • device and app identifiers, used to cap how often an ad is shown and to prevent fraud — not to track you, and never Apple’s advertising identifier (IDFA);
  • 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.

For that processing Google acts as an independent controller and uses the data under its own rules. The details, including how data is used in advertising, are at policies.google.com/technologies/ads.

Warry does not ask for App Tracking Transparency (ATT) permission. The app declares no tracking-usage purpose string and never requests tracking authorisation, so no ATT prompt ever appears and Apple’s advertising identifier (IDFA) is never used. The ads are always requested as non-personalised. Because nothing here is used to track you across other apps or websites, Warry’s App Store privacy label declares “Data Used to Track You: No”.

In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, Google shows a consent form (its User Messaging Platform) before the first ad loads. That consent covers only storing and reading data on your device for the ad; it does not make the ads personalised and it changes none of the above — the ads stay non-personalised and no IDFA is used.

Settings › Privacy & Security › Apple Advertising is where you can review Apple’s own personalised-ads setting. You will not find Warry under Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking, because it never asks.

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 us nothing, we collect no personal data from children or from anyone else — knowingly or unknowingly.

The advertising section above applies to whoever is holding the device. A parent who wants tighter control can switch off tracking requests in iOS Settings and use Screen Time 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 iPhone or iPad. iOS 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 iOS 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 is 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, covered by Apple’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 App 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.

Contact

For any question about this policy, or about what Warry does with your data, write to support@ozjam.com. One person reads it and answers, usually within a day, in Turkish or English.

Setup questions, bugs and feature requests belong on the Warry support page, which already answers the most common ones.


This page is written to be read, not to be argued over: it is provided for information, it is not legal advice, and it has not been certified by a lawyer. The Turkish and English versions are kept in step; if they ever differ, the Turkish text prevails for users in Türkiye.
