Leverty — Privacy Policy

Effective 2026-06-20 · Last updated 2026-06-20

The short version: everything you put into Leverty — your business assets, assessment notices, dispute notes, and any photos you take of an asset — stays on your iPhone. There is no Leverty account and no Leverty server. The only time the app uses the network is to ask Apple's StoreKit whether your subscription is active.

Who makes Leverty

Leverty is built by an independent iOS developer (Apple Developer Team ID ZM8LF8494F). You can reach us anytime at captainlongevity@gmail.com.

Your questions, answered plainly

Where do my asset and assessment records live?

On your iPhone, in this app's local SwiftData store, and nowhere else. We never receive them. There is no cloud account behind Leverty, so there is nothing on our side to read, lose, or hand to anyone — including a county assessor. Many states treat a business personal property rendition as confidential, and keeping your working records on your own device, rather than on someone's server, is exactly the point.

Does Leverty connect to my bank or do my taxes?

No. Leverty does not connect to any bank, card, or financial account, and it integrates no Plaid or any financial aggregator. It does not calculate property tax, tax owed, or any "savings" figure. The acquisition cost and assessed value you type are stored and displayed only — they are never used in any calculation. Leverty is a record-keeping and reference tool, not accounting or tax software.

The app can add photos to an asset. Where do my photos go?

On the Pro tier, Leverty can attach a photo to an asset — to document its condition, depreciation, disposal, or that it is a ghost asset still on the rolls. You can take a new photo with the camera, or pick an existing one from your library. Either way the photo is saved inside the app's own local storage on your iPhone, as part of the record it belongs to. It is for your reference only. It is never uploaded, never sent to us, and never sent to any assessor or agency.

Does Leverty read my Photo Library?

No — not your whole library. To attach an existing photo, Leverty uses Apple's system photo picker, which runs outside the app: it shows you your library and hands Leverty only the specific photos you select. Leverty never gets access to the rest of your library, and no Photo Library permission is requested. It is not a file library or a document manager — a photo in Leverty is simply a leaf of an asset record, not something you organize separately.

Do you collect analytics, crash logs, or an advertising identifier?

No. There is no analytics framework, no crash reporter, and no advertising identifier in the app. We cannot tell how often you open it, which assets you log, how many photos you attach, or whether you subscribed — beyond Apple's standard aggregate sales reports.

Does the app contact a county assessor or file my appeal?

No. Leverty files nothing, contests nothing, and checks nothing on your behalf. The state business-personal-property and appeals-board reference material in the Reference tab is bundled lookup content shipped inside the app and updated through ordinary App Store releases. The evidence PDFs and checklists you generate are handed to the iOS Share Sheet for you to use yourself. The app makes no API call to any government system.

Does my data go to iCloud or my Apple ID?

Leverty declares no iCloud entitlement and has no sync. Your records and photos are included in your normal iOS Backups (iCloud Backup or Finder/iTunes) when you have those turned on — that is Apple's standard backup behavior for on-device data, not a Leverty feature.

What the app keeps on your device

All of this is covered by your iOS Backups when enabled. We hold no copy. If you delete Leverty without an iOS Backup available, the records and attached photos cannot be recovered — there is no remote copy to restore from.

System features the app can use

Subscriptions and StoreKit

Leverty offers an optional Pro tier (an annual subscription and a one-time Lifetime purchase) through Apple's StoreKit 2. When you subscribe, restore, or when the app checks your entitlement, your device talks directly to Apple. Leverty receives only the entitlement status and a purchase identifier — never your Apple ID, payment method, or billing details. Apple's handling of that information is governed by Apple's Privacy Policy.

Permissions Leverty asks for

Revoke any of these anytime in iOS Settings > Leverty. The app requests no Photo Library, microphone, location, contacts, or HealthKit access.

What Leverty is not

Leverty is a personal recordkeeping and reference tool for small-business owners. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any county assessor, tax authority, or government agency, and it is not affiliated with any tax-consulting, appraisal, law, or accounting firm. It uses no government logo or mark, does not connect to any bank, does not calculate taxes or savings, does not value your assets, does not decide whether an assessment is correct, does not predict an appeal outcome, files nothing on your behalf, and gives no legal, tax, or accounting advice. The state business-personal-property references are publicly available material provided for general information only.

Children

Leverty is a business tool for U.S. adults who own or operate a business. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children.

Keeping or deleting your data

Because everything lives only on your device, you are in full control. To remove all Leverty data, delete the app (and remove it from any iOS Backups you have saved). There is no remote copy for us to delete.

Where this applies

Leverty is published in English and offered in the United States; its reference content is U.S.-specific (state business personal property statutes and county appeals-board procedures). The app moves your data nowhere, so there is no international transfer to describe.

Changes

If a future release ever changes how the app handles data — for example if a later version introduced any sync, analytics, or third-party integration — we will update this policy and surface the change in the app before that feature ships. The date above reflects the latest revision.
