Privacy Policy

Introduction

IeKan is an iOS app for families to jointly manage their family home. This policy explains what information is collected, how it is used, where it is stored, and your rights. The app displays no advertising and does not sell your information to third parties.

Information We Collect

User-entered: property name, address, prefecture, year built; photos; scanned document images and OCR-extracted text; your name (profile); checklist items, tasks, and comments.

Auto-collected: first install date and launch count, anonymous usage patterns, device free space (backup feasibility only).

NOT collected: GPS location (address is text-entry only), contacts, advertising ID (IDFA), biometric data, browsing history.

How We Use Your Information

Collected information is used solely for: local property, document, and photo management; syncing data between family members via iCloud (CloudKit); delivering maintenance reminder notifications; improving service quality through anonymous statistics; determining subscription plan eligibility.

Where Data Is Stored

On your device: photos, documents, checklists, and other data are stored in SwiftData (local database). iCloud (Apple CloudKit): when using family sharing, data is synced in encrypted form through Apple's CloudKit, subject to Apple's Privacy Policy. No data is sent to the developer's servers.

Third-Party Services

The app uses Apple-provided services only: CloudKit (family sync, end-to-end encrypted); StoreKit / App Store (subscription billing); VisionKit OCR (document text recognition, on-device only); UserNotifications (maintenance reminders). See apple.com/legal/privacy for Apple's privacy policy.

Data Retention

Data is retained on your device until the app is deleted. iCloud data follows Apple's data retention policy. You can delete CloudKit data by signing in to iCloud.com.

Your Rights

Data export: Settings → Backup exports all data (properties, photos, documents, checklists) as JSON.

Data deletion: deleting a property cascade-deletes all related data; deleting the app removes all local data.

EU residents have GDPR rights (access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability).

Japan residents may request disclosure, correction, or suspension under the Personal Information Protection Act.

Children's Privacy

This app is intended for users aged 13 and over. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If we learn that a child under 13 has used the app, we will promptly delete the related data.
