Privacy Policy
Lease Log: Rent Tracker · Effective date: May 2, 2026 · Last updated: October 20, 2026
1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy describes how Aleksei Bukhalov ("Developer," "we," "us," or "our") handles information in connection with the Lease Log mobile application ("App"). By downloading, installing, or using the App, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.
2. Information We Collect
The developer does not receive your in-app records or photographs and operates no server for them. The App does not require a separate account or sign-in.
Your lease details (address, dates, rent, deposit), walkthrough photographs, maintenance entries, payment records, communications, apartment specifications, contacts and notes are stored in the App's private storage on your iPhone. Records can leave that storage when you choose to export a PDF or JSON backup, or when your device backup settings include the App's data. These copies are described below.
3. Information You Choose to Enter
The App is a record-keeping tool. You may choose to enter information about other people (for example, a landlord's name, phone number, or email; messages from a property manager; the name of a neighbor or service provider). You are responsible for ensuring that your recording and sharing of this information complies with the laws applicable to you and to the people referenced — including, where relevant, recording-consent laws, data-protection laws, and any contractual obligations. The developer does not receive this information. It may be included in reports or backups you choose to export.
4. Photographs and Photo Library Access
The App can attach photographs to walkthrough records, maintenance entries, payment records, communication entries and apartment specifications. You choose images through Apple's photo picker. Selected images are downsampled and copied into the App's local storage. They can be included in reports and backups you choose to export. The developer does not receive them.
5. Local Notifications
The App schedules local notifications on your device to remind you about your lease end date and notice deadline. These notifications are scheduled by iOS on your device and are never routed through any server, including Apple's push notification service. You may disable notifications at any time in iOS Settings.
6. Third-Party Services
The App does not integrate any third-party analytics, advertising, crash-reporting or tracking services. It uses these Apple services and system actions:
(a) Apple's StoreKit 2 framework for processing the one-time in-app unlock purchase. Such transactions are handled entirely by Apple Inc. and are governed by Apple's Privacy Policy. We do not have access to your payment information, Apple ID, or transaction details beyond Apple's anonymized, aggregated reporting to developers.
(b) Apple's tap-to-call (tel:), tap-to-text (sms:), and tap-to-email (mailto:) deep links, which open the corresponding system app with information you have entered. The App does not initiate or transmit those communications itself.
(c) Apple's share sheet, when you choose to save, print or share a PDF or JSON backup. The apps and services you select handle the exported copy under their own policies.
Apple may independently collect certain data (such as crash logs, app usage statistics, and diagnostics) through the App Store and iOS. This collection is governed by your iOS settings and Apple's own privacy policies, and is outside our control.
7. Tracking and Advertising
The App does not track you across other companies' apps or websites. The App does not use any tracking technologies, cookies, web beacons, pixels, device fingerprinting, or advertising identifiers (IDFA). The App does not request access to the App Tracking Transparency (ATT) framework because no tracking occurs. This policy covers the App. The website is covered by the website privacy notice.
8. Device Backups and Cloud Storage
Lease Log does not synchronize its records through iCloud or another cloud service. Apple's device backups are separate and depend on your device settings. If you save an exported file to iCloud Drive or another cloud destination, that provider handles the copy according to its settings and policies. Saving such a file does not create automatic sync between Lease Log installations.
9. Children's Privacy
The App is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Since the App collects no personal data from any user, no special provisions for children's data are necessary. If you believe a child has somehow provided personal information through the App, please contact us immediately.
10. International Users (GDPR, CCPA, and Other Regulations)
The developer does not hold your in-app records or photographs. You manage the local records in the App and any exported copies or device backups through the destinations and services you use. The developer cannot retrieve or delete those copies for you.
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or California and believe you have any data-related rights to exercise, please contact us and we will respond within the legally required timeframe.
11. Data Retention and Deletion
The developer retains none of your in-app records. You may delete the App's local records by:
(a) Using the in-app "Delete all lease data" button in Settings;
(b) Uninstalling the App; or
(c) Erasing it through iOS Settings → General → iPhone Storage → Lease Log → Delete App.
Deleting local records or uninstalling the App does not delete exported files. Device backups may also retain copies according to your backup settings and the provider's retention rules.
12. PDF and JSON Backup Export
The App can generate a PDF report of your records. Its JSON backup contains your lease, attached records, photographs and receipts. These files are created locally and presented through Apple's share sheet. You choose whether and where to save or share them. Lease Log does not encrypt exported files; choose a destination you trust. The apps and services you select govern their subsequent handling. A PDF is a readable report; a JSON backup is the file used to restore the notebook in Lease Log.
13. Security
Local storage uses the protections provided by iOS and the App's sandbox. You may enable the App's optional Face ID or device passcode lock. That lock does not protect PDF or JSON files after they have been exported.
14. Legal Disclaimer
Lease Log is a record-keeping tool. It is not a law firm, does not provide legal advice, and does not represent any party in any dispute. Whether the records you generate are admissible or persuasive in any specific jurisdiction or proceeding is determined by the applicable rules of evidence and the relevant tribunal — not by us. For legal advice regarding your tenancy, security deposit, or any dispute, consult a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction.
15. Changes to This Policy
We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time. Changes will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the App after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
16. Governing Law
This Privacy Policy shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Serbia, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
