GigWright is published by an independent iOS developer (Apple Developer Team ID ZM8LF8494F). For any privacy question, write to captainlongevity@gmail.com.
Is there a GigWright server holding my rig and gig records?
No. There is no GigWright server. Your instruments, setup and maintenance events, gigs, setlists, and the pay you record live in this app's local SwiftData store on your iPhone. We cannot read them, restore them, or move them.
Does the app store photos of my instruments?
No. GigWright records structured data only — instrument type, brand, string gauge, action, intonation, dates, tube hours, venues, setlists, and the figures you enter. It has no camera and stores no photos. If you want pictures of your gear, keep them in your own Photos app, outside GigWright.
The gig "pay" field — does the app process payments or connect to my bank?
No. The pay amount on a gig is your own record, like a line in a freelance notebook. GigWright does not process payments, does not connect to any bank, card, or payment service, does not move money, and does not compute taxes. The gig and income summary PDF is a personal record for your own reference; it is not a tax or financial document.
Do you collect analytics, crash logs, or an advertising identifier?
No. There is no analytics SDK, no crash reporter, and no advertising identifier in the app. We do not know how often you open it, which screens you visit, how many instruments or gigs you track, or whether you subscribed — except through Apple's standard, aggregate developer sales reports.
How does GigWright compute tube life and maintenance reminders?
Entirely on your iPhone, with simple rule-based logic. The app adds up the tube hours and string age you enter, compares them to the thresholds you set, counts the days to each maintenance date, and schedules local notifications accordingly. Nothing about this calculation is sent anywhere.
Does GigWright talk to any music service, streaming platform, or gear vendor?
No. GigWright makes no API calls to any music streaming service, social platform, tuner service, or instrument vendor. Everything in the app is data you entered. The app cannot and does not post, share, or sync your rig or gigs on your behalf.
Does anything go to my iCloud or Apple ID?
No. GigWright does not declare the iCloud entitlement; there is no CloudKit container and no remote sync. Your records are included in your standard iOS Backups (iCloud Backup or Finder/iTunes backup) when those are enabled — that is Apple's normal backup behavior for all on-device data, not a GigWright feature.
This data is included in your standard iOS Backups when you have those enabled. We do not have access to your iOS Backups — only Apple does, under their published privacy terms. If you delete the app without an iOS Backup, your data is permanently lost. There is no in-app data export, import, or backup feature beyond summary-PDF generation.
aps-environment entitlement.GigWright offers an optional Pro tier (an annual subscription and a one-time Lifetime purchase) via Apple's StoreKit 2. When you subscribe, restore a purchase, or when the app verifies your entitlement, your device communicates directly with Apple's servers. GigWright receives only the entitlement status (active or inactive) and a purchase identifier. We do not see your Apple ID, payment method, billing address, or transaction history. Apple's handling of subscription information is governed by Apple's Privacy Policy.
You can revoke either permission at any time in iOS Settings > GigWright. GigWright requests no camera, no microphone, no photo library, no location, no HealthKit, and no contacts permission.
GigWright is a personal recordkeeping and reminder tool for working musicians. It is not a payment service and does not move money. It is not tax or financial advice. It is not a tuner, lesson, or tab app, and it is not a stage-plot or sheet-music performance tool — setlists are simple, reusable song lists. It makes no guarantee that a record will satisfy any third party.
GigWright is a tool for adult musicians. We do not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children.
Because all data is stored only on your device, you control retention completely. To delete all GigWright data, delete the app (and remove it from any iOS Backups you have saved). There is no remote copy for us to delete.
GigWright is published in English and marketed primarily in the United States and other English-speaking markets. The app does not transfer your data internationally because it does not transfer your data anywhere.
If a future release ever changes how the app handles data — for example, if a later version ever introduces any sync, analytics, or third-party integration — we will update this policy and surface the change in the app before that feature becomes available. The "Last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision.
