LienClock is published by Flint Software, an independent iOS developer (Apple Developer Team ID ZM8LF8494F). For any privacy question, email captainlongevity@gmail.com.
The following live in LienClock's local SwiftData store on the device — we cannot read them, restore them, or transfer them:
This data is included in your standard iOS Backups (iCloud Backup or Finder/iTunes encrypted backup) when you have those enabled. We do not have access to your iOS Backups — only Apple does, under Apple's published privacy terms. If you delete the app without an iOS Backup, your saved project data is permanently lost. There is no in-app JSON export, JSON import, or in-app archive backup feature.
When you tap Add to Calendar on a deadline card, LienClock uses Apple's EventKit to write a real EKEvent into your iPhone Calendar. That Calendar event becomes part of your Apple ID's Calendar storage — it syncs through iCloud Calendar if you have that enabled, and it persists independently of LienClock. Even if you delete LienClock, the Calendar events you previously added remain in your iPhone Calendar.
Important LienClock writes only the events you initiate. LienClock does not read your other Calendar events, scan your Calendar for content, or query any other Calendar app. The EventKit permission you grant is scoped to writing the deadline events you tap to save.
If you decline Calendar permission, LienClock still generates a .ics file you can share via the iOS Share Sheet to any Calendar app of your choice.
Revoke any permission anytime: iOS Settings > LienClock.
LienClock offers an optional Pro tier via Apple's StoreKit 2 (Pro Annual and Pro Lifetime — see Terms). When you subscribe, restore a purchase, or when the app verifies your entitlement, your device communicates directly with Apple's servers. LienClock 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.
The 50-state mechanics lien statute references — Cal. Civ. Code §§ 8204-8216, Tex. Prop. Code §§ 53.052-53.058, Fla. Stat. § 713.08, the Federal Miller Act at 40 U.S.C. §§ 3131-3134, and all the rest — are bundled into the app as static content, updated by us through standard App Store releases. LienClock does not query a remote statute database, does not fetch updates over the network, and does not call any government API.
LienClock is intended for U.S. adults engaged in commercial construction. We do not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children. The app's age rating reflects this.
Because all project data is stored only on your device, you control retention completely. To delete all LienClock data, delete the app from your device (and remove it from any iOS Backups you have saved). There is no remote copy for us to delete. Calendar events you previously added with LienClock remain in your iPhone Calendar after the app is removed; those live in your Apple ID Calendar storage, which Apple controls.
LienClock is published in English and is offered exclusively in the U.S. App Store. The reference data (50 states + DC + Federal Miller Act + state Little Miller Acts) is U.S.-specific. 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 we add an opt-in cloud feature in a later version — we will update this policy and surface the change in the app before that feature becomes available. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
