App Harbour ApS ("we," "us," or "our") operates the ID Scanner: Bar Age Verify mobile application (the "App"). This Privacy Policy explains how the App handles information.
The short version: the App processes everything on your iPhone. It has no account, no sign-up and no server of ours behind it, and we do not receive, sell or share any data scanned with the App.
Camera
The App uses the camera to read the PDF417 barcode on the back of a license or ID card, the machine-readable zone (MRZ) on a passport or ID card, and, for the optional front cross-check, the printed text on the front of a card. Reading happens live on the device with Apple's frameworks. The App does not take or store photos of documents.
Scanned ID data
- Decoded data (such as name, date of birth, issuing state or country, document number, issue and expiry dates) is shown on the result screen and then discarded, unless you have turned on the optional scan log.
- Document numbers are masked on screen.
- Decoded data is never sent to us or to any third party.
The optional scan log
- Scan logging is off by default.
- If you turn it on, each entry stores the time, name, age, date of birth, issuing state or country, whether the document was expired, the pass/fail result and the number of data notices. To detect repeat scans of the same ID, each entry also stores a matching key made from the issuing state or country and the document number (or, if there is no number, the name and date of birth). The document number is not shown in the log and is not included in the CSV export.
- The log is saved in the App's storage on your device with iOS file protection (encrypted at rest). It is not synced to iCloud or any server.
- You can lock the log with Face ID or Touch ID (on by default), export it yourself as a CSV file (Premium), and delete it at any time from the App.
- You are responsible for complying with the laws of your jurisdiction on retaining data scanned from identification documents. Some regions restrict or prohibit such retention; the App's default (logging off) reflects that.
VIP / banned lists
Patron flags you create (name, type, optional note, and the same kind of matching key derived from the scanned document) are stored only on your device, with iOS file protection, and never leave it.
Settings and free-scan counter
Your preferences (age threshold, scan mode, log settings) are stored on the device. The number of free scans used is stored in the device keychain so that it is not reset by reinstalling. Neither is sent to us.
Face ID / Touch ID
If you lock the scan log, iOS performs Face ID or Touch ID authentication. The App only receives a yes/no result and never has access to your biometric data.
Information we do not collect
We do not collect personal information, usage analytics, advertising identifiers or crash reports through the App. The App contains no third-party analytics or advertising SDKs and makes no network requests of its own.
Purchases
- Subscriptions and the Lifetime purchase are processed entirely by Apple through the App Store.
- We do not collect or store your payment information.
- The App receives only your purchase or subscription status from Apple (StoreKit) in order to unlock Premium.
- The App may show Apple's standard rating prompt, which is handled by iOS.
Support email
If you email us for support, we receive your email address and the contents of your message. We use them only to respond to you and do not share them with anyone.
Children's privacy
The App is a professional tool intended for adults, such as venue staff. It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect information from children.
Your rights
Because we hold no data about you, there is nothing for us to access, correct or delete on our side. Data on your device (the scan log and patron flags) is under your direct control and can be deleted in the App or by deleting the App.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
